Welcome to Our Hoosier Board!

Most of the posters here have been around for nearly a decade now. You'll find their knowledge and insight to be second to none. We have a really strong community and value everyone's opinions.

Feel free to jump into any thread and voice your opinion with conviction. We love heated debates and even some fanbase ribbing from time to time. We pride ourselves on the lack of moderation needed to make this board successful.

Please remember that we have been around many years and have an astute ability to tell the difference between an immature, childish, trash-talking troll and a passionate fan voicing his or her opinion. It is at the discretion of Jazen and myself whether any moderating actions should be taken at any given time. It's a very, very rare thing. In other words, no worries....you'll be fine!

Cheers,
sirbrianwilson

*yawn*

I doubt the guy could win at the high school level but I really don't know what UAB thinks they are gonna get. At a school like that with that much conference uncertainty maybe they should hire a young up-and-comer and see what happens.....I don't see them getting a high level coach. With the uncertainty, maybe they should bite the bullet and try to hire Pearl. Take the NCAA hit for a year or two and see if Pearl can bring them back.

Winning games has a way of putting butts in seats. Davis didn't have to worry about that at IU, we would have been there regardless, and we were.

I think he took it upon himself one day to look up and see the empty arena, and figured it "had" to be that. :D

To be fair, UAB did win CUSA last year and went to the NCAAs.

Exactly....hard to believe UAB expects more and hard to believe Davis doesn't understand what puts butts in the seats.


Scratch that.....It's not really that hard to believe that Davis can't figure that out :blink:

Still just as clueless that he was when he coached IU, He probably said he wasn't ready for that HC job either.

Maybe him and Weber will end up coaching together.

Better yet, maybe he will end up as Matt Painter's assistant.

I would take Weber as Painter's assistant in a heartbeat. Davis probably wouldn't be a terrible assistant either. The kids at IU liked him which makes me think he might be a good assistant for recruiting.
