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.
