Obviously he knew. I was going to say that I thought they were stupid for firing Alford in the first place. And I'll never understand why Indiana has stayed away from him like the plague when looking for a coach several times in recent years.Laley23 wrote:I doubt he leaves for a school that fired him...Scarlet_Fever wrote: Where do they go now?

...I mean, please tell me that was sarcastic and new he was the coach at Iowa before and not UNM.

I almost put a smiley face after that (which I do so much even I think its silly) but I thought, no everyone will know it was a joke.
I figured as much, just making sure. I sent my initial comment with smileys indicating I was going along with his joke.krambman wrote:

This is what I think. Iowa probably should have gave him more time. Also, kind of suprised Indiana has never looked at him but at least that I understand. I think it would be hard to be a legend player and coach at your old school. If you stink as a coach you could lose your legend status.krambman wrote:Laley23 wrote:I doubt he leaves for a school that fired him...Scarlet_Fever wrote: Where do they go now?

True but Sampson was in trouble at his previous school and continued on at Indiana.Laley23 wrote:It isnt like Sampson was a bad hire coaching wise. The guy was on the brink of putting Indiana in the top 10 yearly.krambman wrote:

Now if they just fire Crean before he gets things going. I really like them being down. It helps Matta.Laley23 wrote: ^^^Right, I thought it was a risky hire because of that. But who knew he would really be that dumb to fuck himself over so bad. I mean, most people indeed learn from being busted. Indiana certainly got what the deserved. But I still contend that Indiana would have won a title with Sampson.
lol, Ill tell you what, and Ive been saying it for about 2 years now (when I first watched these kids play) that there is enough talent in Indiana in 2012 for every school in the Big Ten to get 2 of them.Scarlet_Fever wrote:

Biggest thing is how far their attendance dropped. I forget the exact number, but it was the lowest ever for them.ytownfootball wrote: Licklighter had it coming, no doubt with sub par seasons and all the transfers leaving.
Oh wow, never heard that. Yeah that isn't good either. Curious as to their direction. I would think their focus should be on a quality recruiter, not sure what they're willing to pay/who's available, but there are some HIGH quality recruiter in the Big 10 right now. If Iowa has any intentions of competing they need to begin to bring in (and keep) their talent.Laley23 wrote:Biggest thing is how far their attendance dropped.

Scott May, Quinn Buckner, Kent Benson..and the rest of that unbeaten team. You must not have been around for that group. All 5 were NBA players.Laley23 wrote:lol, Ill tell you what, and Ive been saying it for about 2 years now (when I first watched these kids play) that there is enough talent in Indiana in 2012 for every school in the Big Ten to get 2 of them.Scarlet_Fever wrote:

Im telling you right now, it is the best class I have ever seen come through this state. Not the best player (although, a bunch of studs, just no Eric Gordon, Jared Jeffries, Oden, etc). But this class has about 30 high major players in it. Its just nuts. Literally, could have 15 of them in the top 100 (but sites wont do it). but if Matta and Crean and Izzo and Beilen etc recruit Indiana that year they are all gonna come away with a really good class.
I know Crean is in really good shape with about 15 guys from that class right now. The guy I want the most is Ron Patterson though. I think he will end up being the best based on my evaluations. He is ranked anywhere from 1-5 right now in the state.
No, I wasnt. But it isnt like I dont know about it. But I did say that it didnt have the BEST player...just it was the deepest. Im not the only one who thinks this. People who do this for a living in Indiana have agreed with me as well.Footwedge wrote:
