The thing that was so ridiculous about the article was that the first half talked about whoever we get HAS to be squeaky clean………and then he suggests Calipari. So I lost all respect for whatever Kravitz has to say.

I live in Madison, and the newspapers here reported that Butch was recruited with the understanding that he might redshirt because he needed time to develop. That does't contradict what you said, though. The decision may have been a close one that was finally tipped by family issues.

check bill belichek's record prior to taking over in new england…he sucked with the browns. just a counterpoint to your arguement against DD.

butch had some serious family issues (I believe that his mom was battling cancer) when he redshirted on his own accord. That had nothing to do with Bennett

I just read that article on Beasley and it really made me think that Sampson got railroaded by the NCAA. I'm not a Sampson guy, I'm actually pretty excited about the chance to now get the right coach…But it sucks that all this will set the program back a few years.

Anyways, I just found this site a couple weeks ago, and it think it's great. I'll definitely keep checking it out daily.

Given IU's recent buyout payments it would be a lot less expensive to hire Brownell than a bigger name…..nevertheless….I could see an Armon, Jordan, and my favorite IU player NOT named EJ or DJ thrive in that offense……Matt “freakin” Roth….

Got two words for you ….You Tube
I love that kid…..

Calbert Cheaney would probably agree. I guess they played together in high school, and he was an assistant for Crews at Evansville for a long time.

It's like hiring someone in the IU family tree but without really being in the IU family tree.

He's not being hypocritical. Theres a difference between being an analyst and being a reporter. If you don't like seeing coaches curse, belittle, bullying and tormenting I guess you've never paid close attention to some of the best coaches ever or played any sports. Knight wrong was not caring who saw him doing it. Coach K, Calipari, Pitino keep it from public alot Bill G is big time bully but hides it pretty well. Not all successful coaches are pat ya on the butt, thank, “come on you can do it if you try” ” you need a hug” type coaches.

Please let me know what qualifies and what is on DD's resume that says he deserves the head coach position permanently. I don't care if they won the Cahmpionship I wouldn't want him to stay as head coach. This would be a Mike Davis situation all over again. How does a guy coaching for 10 yrs at a mid major with a record barely above 500, 4 out of his last 5 seasons were losing ones, only head coaching the last 5 games of the season for IU make him qualified for IU.

Matt that was a”goodlooking” game to watch….Brownell would make me happy at IU…and my gut tells me he is one of the leading candidates….

If you want to see someone whine to the officials, watch Hansbrough. Or any Duke player. DeAndre could take some notes.

I really liked the offensive and defensive sets on both sides of the Valpo/Wright State game today. I even watched that in lieu of watching NC State meltdown (again) which is always good for some laughs. Both Drew and Brownell would be good fits at Indiana, but I don't think Homer would leave Valpo. He's got himself quite a niche there, and Valpo just moved into a stronger league and they're already competing.

The teenager inside me always found it amusing that “douche” was the French word for “shower”. Even now I'm giggling.

The comparison of Kravitz to Marriotti is priceless. I laughed. And then I laughed some more.

The closest thing to the hypocrisy of the NCAA would be the hypocrisy of NASCAR. I think they get together and swap notes.

Kevin Stallings doesn't feel right because he looks like Burglekutt from Willow.

Can I just throw out the idea that we cut ties with Thomas either way and let him head back to juco…or mcdonalds. He is absolutely worthless. Inept offensively and too fat and slow on defense and I have never seen someone whine so much to officials. The guy is worth 2 points, 4 fouls and 6 big macs per game.

I'd forgotten how unknown Tucker was.

yeah, that or maybe the fact that he handed alando tucker his only major D-I offer.

Bennett's best recruiting job? Getting McDonald's All Star Brian Butch to redshirt his freshman year. If Bennett can land a 6' 11″ center while telling him he'll be benched for the entire first season, he's one terrific recruiter. Honest, too. Butch has had a so-so career, but at the time, everyone wanted him, including Duke and IU.

Is it safe to assume that by your spelling of douche…you don't use summer's eve? Sorry, that chats been dead lately…but to answer your question, yes MSU started spring break yesterday. But for some reason, there aren't many tickets available to the game according the MSU athletics website
