Re: Around the Hall: Offutt, Noreen, Crean on expansion, more

Just what has he done to warrant any kind of award? NOTHING!!!

There has been NO visible improvement in any sport at IU since his hiring. Same ole'--same ole' mediocrity!!!

"Fred Glass To Receive Trevor R. Brown Award"

I don't see anything Glass has done for IU athletics that should deserve any reward. It's just more stroking for one of the "BIG GUYS" at IU. If you are big enough, you don't need to be successful.

Control your self! She is just making her boyfriend jealous and is acting like she may go to the prom with someone else but it won't be you in the end!!!

Re: Around the Hall: Tournament expansion seems inevitable

Seems only the Basketball Coach is for expansion. I know all coaches would like the show to get bigger because it increases their chance of getting in but when everyone plays there is no meaning to participating or winning.

Most others, including, most fans don't want it but it will be done anyway simply for the revenue. That increased revenue is more important to the NCAA than any student athlete, team or principle.

Like, giving IU a chance to change a decision that was already made!!!

Com-on! Just another kid that can't get over himself. He loves the trail of fans and schools pursuing him and he is going to stretch it as long as he is getting "the love"!!!

This is the same thing EVERY "star" does. How many time do you have to see it to recognize it?

"The Hoosiers are one of just two schools he is considering, a source told Inside the Hall yesterday, so he might want an extra day or two to keep sorting things out. These really are important decisions — ones that will impact the rest of a young person’s life — and so it is perfectly understandable that this one is not being rushed."

If he doesn't know now, he will never know. He really just likes the attention that stringing people along gets him. Don't get me wrong. That doesn't make him bad or different from all the other sought after kids. You don't hear this type of thing from the good but not great because they are glad to be offered and to be part of a team and program that will make them better rather than them joining a program as a star playing with supporting teammates.

If these guys want to make a real difference, there will be no place better than Indiana!!!

Any great player has areal chance to be a team changer!!!

Re: New basketball practice facility named Cook Hall

"The Cook Group has made a $15 million gift to the For the Glory of Old IU capital campaign."

"In recognition of this historic gift, Indiana University will permanently name the new basketball development center 'Cook Hall'."

Sounds to me like the Cook Group has made a $15 million gift to the For the Glory of Old Man Cook capital campaign.

YES BUT...The excuses are beginning to sound a lot like IU Football!!!

If Selby wants to play somewhere that HE can decide what and how he will practice, then, I for one, hope he goes somewhere else.!!!

Re: IU releases statement regarding Todd Leary

tberry — Sat, 06 Feb 2010 11:19:19 -0000

I think what he needs is to be locked in a small room with Bob Knight for about an hour!!!

Re: So, where do you stand on NCAA Tournament expansion?

tberry — Wed, 03 Feb 2010 08:44:02 -0000

Any bigger and you might as well let everybody in. I think there are too many now. In the past you has to one of the best to get in. Now, you just have to be acceptable to have an aceptable NCAA record.

"avoid (poor) attempts at being clever"

Do you really mean it??? Seems that most writers and specially when they are on blogs just love to hear themselves and prove how clever they really are!!!

NO. He has already played in to many games!!!

Re: Don’t call it a comeback: Hoosiers fall to Loyola

tberry — Wed, 23 Dec 2009 10:57:04 -0000

EXACTLY!!!

I know the IU and Ky comparison leaves a lot out BUT look at what Calipari's coaching has done for KY and look at IU after two seasons.

This type of play at this time is really disappointing and make you wonder about the future???

Re: Terps use late run to pull away from Hoosiers, 80-68

tberry — Wed, 02 Dec 2009 10:44:34 -0000

Seemed to me that we simply "jacked" up to many shots. We would throw it up and hope it would go in.

Good for Crean!!! IU does not want to be know for educating " Trailer Trash."

Re: Good, Bad and Ugly: George Mason

tberry — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 18:02:48 -0000

Bob Knight had many inferior players many times but installed a system that let them win.

Crean has the talent but is not installing a set play system. He is installing a concept system that will look suspect until it starts to "click" and then it will get better and smother and will let great players react in winning ways.

I'm afraid the Hoosiers will have more than they can handle if George mason plays the game they have.

"Oh, and one more thing: College hoops is back. Like, officially. Feels good, right?"

IU was played right to the wire by what should have been an inferior team.

I will feel good when I see that we are competitive with really good competition.

The PR trip should show us something and the big Ten will let us know what we really are!!!

Re: State of the Hall: Coverage plans and your support

The latest question may ask "will he play?" BUT seems to me it is just carrying on the idea that has been posted that Williams is not good enough for IU. Posters can plead ignorance and innocence but that has been the focus of discussions all summer about Williams.

IU is not good enough yet to snub player the coach wants.

Re: A sign Bob Knight will be back in November?

tberry — Sat, 24 Oct 2009 11:45:28 -0000

I would say that in back room barganing, the payment will have to happen for Knight to start the return to the IU fold, however, (un)successfull!!!

Re: ITH Super Happy Fun Time Player Profile: Jeremiah Rivers

tberry — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 20:37:54 -0000

I have to admit that I am a little concerned because I believe that past performance points to future performance.

Maybe he will be better than what we had but I doubt that he will be a star.

In fact, that is why we should fire Lynch....lousy past performance that has lead to lousy current performance.
