How long do you seriously think the "rebuilding" process would be at a school like IU. That's like rebuilding a 10,000 sq. foot mansion by adding on a sun room. It's a mole on an elephant's ass. He polished a turd at Tennessee in just a few years....imagine what he could do in the same time frame in Bloomington? |

Lie down now, rest, and we'll talk about this when you regain your senses." It's called the knockout mechanism. | |

Well, you will think differently, but IU isn't exactly a mansion right now. Possible NCAA probation, possible further recruiting restrictions, possible scholarship limits, possible mass defection from current team, possible defection of current recruits, and a roster of JUCOs and untested players. Does that sound like a mansion? Granted, he could do a good job, but it'd take him until at least year two maybe even year three to have success. |

“He’s always been a guy — maybe to a fault — he would always try to do what I said. That seems like something simple in coaching, but those are the guys I hang my hat on. We’ve had some guys in our program, we had a couple guys that felt I had a bias towards E’Twaun Moore. And they were right — I do have a bias towards E’Twaun Moore. I like guys that go to class, that are academic All-Americans, that come early, that stay late, that love the game of basketball. I am biased towards those guys. And I’m biased towards Rob Hummel. But I’m also biased towards their habits, their work ethic, and how they carry themselves." "I’d take him to the ends of the earth — I’d want him playing for me.” - Bo Ryan on Robbie Hummel

So you think a coach of Pearl's caliber would take all of those risks to go to IU when he already has an established base to turn a program into a consensus top 10 team? I put possible to be polite, IMO all of those things are either probable or done deals. The NCAA will come down, recruits will leave, and players will leave. I was trying to keep opinion out of it and state facts. I know you don't like facts because they get in the way of your hate filled and pointless spewing of non-sense. |

What did I say there that doesn't have a strong possibility of happening? NCAA/recruiting sanctions- you did notice the 5 MAJOR recruiting violations that just got put on IU right? Players leaving- You did just see an out pour of emotion for Sampson and players skipping practice to protest? Recruits leaving- the top two recruits have out clauses in the LOIs if the coach is fired, shouldn't that say something? There already are scholarship loses and JUCOs on roster in key places. That all seems logical, but you aren't logical so I understand. Your excuse is "But its IU". Good reasoning there. |

Yeah if a coach that had a bad year or two was considered a bad coach then we wouldn't have any good coaches! |
