Teri Moren has built and absolute buzz saw in Bloomington . Also I don’t think you can overstate the importance of Sydney Parrish transferring back to IU , shows top instate recruits that Indiana is a desirable destination instead of being lured away by top programs like UCONN or Oregon though I will say seems like South Carolina is a totally different animal after beating #3 LSU by almost 30 points . We shall see come April hopefully

Happy Valentine's Day!!

I can see it now… 2038: “Hey coach did you see that we are now ranked number two in the state?” “Yes, I did but rankings don’t matter.” “Who is that team ranked number one and will we ever get to face them?” “No kid, some adults got hurt feelings a few years back and we had too many differences.” “Boy that stinks, I hope I never have to have a job where I work alongside someone I disagree with.”

If best recruits + highest pay = most desirable job, then yeah, Notre Dame probably ranks somewhere around 10-15. But that's just 75% of the coaches out there. The other 25% percent might look at other things, like the moral integrity of a program.

Unfortunately it seems like in women’s BB there is always a 600 gorilla, UT, UConn, and now SC. Best of luck to Coach Moren and the team.

As far as the Men’s go another big game tonight in Evanston . Not a must win from a NCAA tourney standpoint a must win for other reasons 1) sole possession of 2nd in the Big Ten 2)I don’t think PU runs away with the title and suddenly that match up in Mackey gets real interesting especially if Maryland can clip them on Thurs. 3) road wins continue to show growth of your program and helps NCAA tourney seeding seeing IU as high as 3 seed . Should help avoid long flights and early round upset match ups . ( I want NOTHING to do with Oral Roberts and Max Abrams !) no matter what continues to be the most fun I’ve had watching the Hoosiers since 2016

That is exactly what was said about football when they joined the MIC back in the 90's. How did that turn out?

That’s not what you said.

I see it more as musical chairs. Carmel and CG were tight knit pals leaving the MIC together for a brighter tomorrow in the HCC. HCC said "no", I believe more because of Carmel. MIC is scorned and kicks both out. Carmel doesn't see HCC on the horizon and realizes MIC may be only conference in town to take them. So, distance yourself from your main competitor, ensuring you get one of those spots. Distancing yourself pleases the majority of the MIC, so that's what they do. With hat in hand, they are allowed back in the MIC. Without CG in the MIC, they mop up. Lot more trophies in the case back at the mansion. It has to be much more than a single bball game in which their own coach screwed up royally with his behavior.

First time I've seen the video. I don't know Coach Osborn, have never meet him (I know coaches at both schools in other sports, all good people) But let me be devil's advocate....I'm gonna try and be the one person to give him some benefit of the doubt from watching the video... Game ends, some CG kids rush the floor. In my opinion this isn't a really egregious "court storming" as the group more or less just runs out to celebrate with the CG players. Quite a bit of space between benches and this crowd. Not near as many people as I assumed based on the way I'd heard it described. Carmel players start to head over to shake hands with a few CG players on other side of scorer's table. But most CG players are in the celebration near center court. Carmel coach points for team to go back other way and around to leave. So now Carmel Coach is directing his team to go back around the crowd on their way out. They have to cross the scorer's table agin to do this and go out other end. During this time Coach has his back toward the CG celebration and there is space between him and Carmel players who are doing as they are told and heading out. At about this same time, it appears the CG players are being directed to go "shake hands" with the Carmel team and a line of CG players now starts to move between the exiting Carmel players and the Carmel coach. Players all look to be exhibiting good sportsmanship here. Looks like some CG coaches/officials are also trying to stay between this handshake line and the crowd...good for them. Carmel Coach is now kind of on his own, on the CG side of the handshake line, and starts to head towards the end of it to meet up with his team... Now from that point on, I can't tell from that grainy video what happens. But as a coach who has been around a lot of handshake lines...I don't see him "purposefully" storming through the crowd...at least initially. I think he didn't realize CG players were gonna walk through when/where they did for a handshake and he tried to cut around it as best he could. Did he do something inappropriate at the end? I sure can't tell from the video, so I won't say he did or he didn't. But I think my interpretation is at least a little different than some others.... Flame away if you want....just my 2 cents

Go to the 1:30 mark if you don't wish to watch it all. Rich Nye report from WTHR

“Culturally responsive sensitivity classes” would be my guess. It’s the norm these days.

You should get Mike Johnson to speak. It would give you a wing-t representation. Brett Colby would be awesome also for a double wing rep. It is a great lineup either way. Thanks coach.
