The one thing to remember about Gonso is that he chaired the IU presidential search committee that recommended the hiring of Myles Brand.

Tom do you think that Bob Knight would of become the winningest D1 coach at Army? Try not batch. Indiana hadn't won much during the 60's……and Indiana was still considered elite in the 70's when Bobby took the job. Produced may of been the wrong term…..maybe I should of said an ELITE program like INDIANA help Bob Knight flourish into the winningest coach ever…..I mean even at Tech he wasn't as consistant. I wasn't “raving” about KS either. I was merely pointing out that he had us back in business in two years as a major contender. Until he left the hoosiers were doing great…..or at least much better than past years.

Oh and the Mike Davis thing….I'm sure you weren't runnin' your cock sucker when we were in the NCAA championship game. The players wanted him and when they got him they went to the finals and won a share of the Big Ten……maybe thats something that elite teams don't do.

The school has to move forward on getting a replacement ASAP. Every potential candidate will be at the Final Four, so IU must have their ducks in a row by then. Two weeks should be enough time for the committee to get organized. The school can't keep this secret because the media can file an open records request (which is what kept the school from sitting on the NCAA charges). If it hurts the current team, well no more damage can be done at this point.

Ok you got me there. For every Coach K or Bob Knight story there are thousands upon thousands of stories stating the opposite. WatchMorBasketball.

Come on it was kind of funny….

i hope i am surprised by the signing as i want the school to return to it's glory days.

and enough with saying i have lame comebacks when i'm not even trying to “comeback” and you're still laughing at the equivalent of a mom joke cicra 1976.

At the time, the KS hiring was intriguing. Not too many people knew about the severity of his allegations at Oklahoma and had he not made the same mistake our program was heading in a great direction. I was at midnight madness this year and we had a #9 ranking, 5 5-star recruits in attendance and the #2 recruit in the nation in an Indiana uniform making Adam Ahlfield and others look like 4th graders. The program was a year away from being a perennial powerhouse. That was my point as far as the KS hiring. But as we know it didn't work out too well from there. But big name coach fitting in and building a winner in 1.5 years. My new point is that we should sit back and let this committee do there job. I think we will be surprised at the quality coach that they will hire. I do not know who that will be and refuse to predict but I do know this committee will do a good job with their task at hand. Quote me there and try to think of a lame comeback when we hire someone you dont agree with in 3 weeks because its people like you that never are saitisfied and only see things in black or white.

you're wrong, and you're 12 years old.

if you'll recall we tried to get other coaches to come here and they said no.

so tell me, then, genius. what big name coaches are dying to come here?

Brett — Tue, 18 Mar 2008 15:38:06 +0000

The wife thing was borderline hilarious. as was your attempt of rebuttal. Big name coaches want to come here.. your point about mike davis has no legs. Mike Davis was hired due to his relationship with the players/staff and his short term success as a interim head coach.

ZP is correct, you sir are wrong.

Tom — Tue, 18 Mar 2008 15:13:18 +0000

i see, i'm ignorant yet you're applauding a wife joke. how old are you?

raving about getting sampson is ridiculous. he was on his way out after doing the same thing at ou that he did here. i guess the next school that gets him is lucky, too? dumb.

By: Tom

Tom — Tue, 18 Mar 2008 15:09:59 +0000

the wife thing was funny? are you guys 12 years old?

no big name coaches want to come here. if they did, why was mike davis our coach? when unc had an opening they didn't have any trouble getting a big name coach, did they?

In 1980, Krzyzewski took over as the head coach at Duke University after having accumulated a 73-59 win-loss record in five seasons at Army.

I forgot everyone needs experience at a major school before success comes calling. get a clue.

Yeah, Tom you got owned because that was a funny comment. You are also taking a way too personal side with your comments and just trying to badger everyone else which is just ignorant. Your points just aren't very good and its unclear what you are trying to get across. And making fun of grammar on a blog as a comeback is brilliant.

Yeah that is understandable I guess but it just seems like bad timing. Of course this whole thing from the get go has been bad timing, so maybe the kids are getting used to it. I just hope this doesn't affect them anymore going into the tournament. They are going to have to be focused and ready for a very game Arkansas team and it doesn't get any easier after that.

Uhh. First, you got OWNED by Ben stating your wife was damaged goods, I found that funny. Second, the “if” pertains to the people on the board doing the actual hiring. Trust me, big name coaches want to coach at IU, the birthplace of college basketball.
