    Imagine Sampson at IU the past two decades…

    Not sure that's accurate. Adam Herbert was the President and he's the one who hired Sampson. Our Ad, Rick Greenspan, had John Beilein locked up who was his #1 choice and the perfect fit for IU. Herbert overruled him and said a white coach could not replace Mike Davis that it had to be a...

    TEXAS A&M New Coach

    Scott Padgett coached Samford the 6 years before Bucky. They never once finished better than 6th and only did that once. Bucky had them #3 in year 2, and then #1, #1, and #3.

    WVU’s Devries next IU coach

    He's exceeded expectations everywhere he's been. No I'm not saying he's a HOF coach. Might not work. Might be elite. We will see. But his resume screams very good coach. And not a weirdo like Crean or Archie or a lazy deadbeat like Woodson.

    WVU’s Devries next IU coach

    Better resume than Pope. Turned around Drake immediately. Turned around a garbage WVU team immediately. Lost his best player and still should've made the tournament. Good recruiter. With IUs NIL he should do fine. Not sure what you were expecting. No one ever believed IU was landing...
