I think the issue is you had more important things on your mind Bob,at that time. Being studious, Law school , money for school.You had tunnel vision let’s say. Iu Basketball was an important release but very secondary. Where as I ,being a senior in the business school, but majoring in extracurricular activities, had complete focus on indiana sports. Thus it was an easy catch for me. Correct me if I’m wrong.

New president, tuned into the athletics side of the University. And an athletics director that really gets it. Is the ticket, from here on out.

Easy, about 2 Saturday’s ago I had my XM radio on a station I never listen to. Well the show was Dan Dakich. I’ve never listened to him before. The only thing I got to know about him on the radio,was all the controversy he generated over the years. Beside the point. what he said was as interm coach, as a result of the Sampson dismissal, Dan was in the meetings with the AD , president and school committee that was in charge of the selecting the next coach. He said , that the exact words were , “we will never let the basketball program elevate to the degree, that it over shadows the university again. “ So to put it in simple terms we are down grading the basketball program. The rest is history.

I was at the game in Dayton, when Kentucky beat Indiana, and one armed Scott May.

Bob ,UR right, the 75 team may be the best ever in the NCAA. Considering the average winning point margin for the season. I know UCLA has an argument here. One thing though, John laskowski graduated with Steve green. I think you are thinking of Tom Abernathy stepping in Johns slot in 76.

Little Ryan is going to be the highest paid amateur golfer in the USA this year.

Hook, line and sinker.

Any good FBALL players playing in the finals this weekend?

I remember the memorial coliseum with over 10,000, standing room only crowds for sectionals. Semi state games there, they were almost unavailable for most people to get into until after the morning game's were over. Then you could get tickets from the loosing teams fans leaving after the game in the parking lot. Lol

Yea little Ryan Miller.

I’m pumped, this will be a great state finals. All zones in the state are in the mix for recognition.

I don’t think he was the main cog. But I’m not privy to this. There are several alum who can and could underwrite the process. It’s a payout over several years and if Ryan takes another position, the payout diminishes tremendously.

There were so many facilities, across the state, rockin back in the day, with Hinkle being one of them. Man the basketball memories.

U R right, on both counts. That’s the reason for the 99. And Stevens really has not produced in New England. Again, time is critical in theses situations. But it it’s a step by step processes and situations are continually changing as time is passing. This is why AD’s make the Big bucks.

Well I’m not privy to any decision making , that hunch is as good as any right now. Irish said it, the delay here now, is wait for the candidate to bow out of the tournament. Since we know Stevens is 99% out.

Meh. Won’t be Stevens. I’m sure the named candidate will not be any that we have all been talking about.

Lol, misery loves company, PU goes out in first round.Indiana’s not up to Purdue’s level, lol. That’s how bad it is.

Well , this makes sense. Why wait, when time is precious, unless you have to wait. So you have it narrowed down? Give you three guesses NAME that coach.

Who did they name as football coach at north?

So much for my take on Archie(little Ryan) Miller. Scott D. Has some agenda, and a sharp axe,and it does not include Ryan Miller.

I say it’s good enough for the fans. Stay great in the conference, die in the big dance. Has been forever.

So , final word? Is he out?

On the surface, all the above mentioned coaches have had success in the public eye.where it gets difficult for the Athletes director ,is all the peripheral stuff he has to dig around for. Time consuming job for the decision makers. While I don’t know the psyche of Scott Dolsen , I have a good feeling he will get the “Guy”. He has the pulse of the University and the people who support it. He has been around the program for all of his adult life, education included. And the gonads ,to pull the trigger ,for a $10 million buy out. Something Fred Glass didn’t have, when dealing with the Crean situation.

Not so fast my friend! I know Carmel has gotten better since their first meeting, as has Lawrence North. The Game was a “Game”. But my intuition says North will have a plan for Carmel this time, maybe it will work. But Carmel is a machine! Your picks?
