No wonder WVU declined all tournament invitations.
I had never heard of the guy. I thought they could have got better but man, they have went through coaches like crazy after Bob Knight.
Brad Stevens must've had a scheduling conflict or something.
This guy ALMOST made the tournament this year.
Right up IU's alley to maintain their current three-decade tradition of modest success.

I wouldn’t trust a white dude named Darian….
Did Dan Dickitch approve of the hire?
Creepily enough. That song was just in a commercial on TV as I read that post. My brain broke for a second.
He’s still a solid coach, smarter than the moves they usually make. With good talent they could theoretically get, he will win some games.
Man, IU just plummets further. But who knows? If he can get some dudes, you never know these days.
Maybe we can get the PG we missed on last year, the grades issue be dammed!
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 Stevens. DeVries is probably on par with an Otzelberger or Drew. You hired Pope. UL hired Kelsey. Duke has Sheyer. UNC has Davis who will likely be fired next year.

They would have easily made it had his son not got hurt, I wonder if he’s getting a medical year now? He’s a good player. They still deserved the bid over UNC.
We need Javon Small if he has eligibility left.
In what way is his resume better than Popes? I’m not dogging the hire. He may do well. But his resume is not better than Popes. And is it Scott Drew you’re saying he’s on par with? I’m not a big Drew fan but he won a national championship.
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.
I know that's satire, but anyone believing Stevens is EVER leaving Boston is delusional.
IU going all in. This would be the most NIL for any college basketball team. They will have the money to get players.
I agree. I just needed material for my “almost made the tournament” joke. Lol.
Devries has never won an NCAA tournament game (unless you count the First Four). Maybe they see something in his system like UK saw in Pope's. We'll see.
100 % hired in a hurry because of the portal. I do not understand ad's rushing through getting a new coach so you can get the 23rd best player instead of the 35th best player from teams that did not make the NCAA tournament It's a decision you have to live with for 3 or 4 years. Just chill. Sacrifice that first season of you must, which you do not
Yeah but coaches can’t transfer mid season or year after year without repercussions.
I suppose. But they make millions. And often the school they are going to will buy them out. I just think if a coach can just go wherever he wants, so can a player.
So as an IU fan, what is your take on the hire?
Are you happy with it, was he on your radar? who had you wanted?
Outside of some Rival Ribbing here and there, I'll reserve judgement as I'm just not familiar with the guy.
I have to imagine Dusty May being at Michigan has a sting of what might have been.
You also don’t have 12 coaches on a team to replace yearly. Plus I mean if they wanna repay their NIL or the new school to get them then sure I guess.
