Acceptable concessions IU should make

[JonnyGuido]

I have thought long and hard about this, and have come up with a few ideas of things Barta should ask for during this negotiation. Listed from most important to least important.

1. Indiana can only dress 5 players
2. Indiana can dress all their players, but can only play with four. And Tom Crean has to begin the game by telling the refs in his best Gene Hackman impersonation, "My team is on the floor."
3. We play the game at Carver
4. We play the game at Rupp Arena
5. We play the game at IU but Crean has to coach from a cage the size of the coaches box
6. We play the game Monday March 10th
7. We play the game Thursday February 27th but IU has to play in their 1970 short short uniforms.
8. We play without refs and call your own fouls
9. Fran plays Crean one on one in a pay per view event in my backyard
10. Fran boxes Crean in a pay per view event in Madison Square Garden
11. If we beat IU at IU we get to leave with their cheerleaders
12. If we lose to IU at IU we get to leave with Crean's wife
13. If we play at IU then Crean's wife's brother agrees to be our next football coach

Feel free to add to my list, but all of these seem reasonable and should be pondered at length by Commissioner Delany before making a final decision.

14. JohnnyGuido should be banned for being a giant doosh.

13. I assume you mean Jim, not Jon

You say long and hard, I say Woodbury...

I think a "giant doosh" is someone who absolutely lives on a forum night and day. And HawkIPA has posted 30+ times over the past few hours. Get a job, get a life, get a girlfriend (or boyfriend possibly), and get a better vocabulary.

No way (at least not for this). People love lists.

Either would be fine

15. We play at Assembly Hall, but Todd Lickliter has to coach the Hoosiers. Also John Lickliter must play instead of Yogi Ferrel

Get a new beer too HawkIPA. I find most IPA's to be quite disgusting.

I have to agree with all, but I really like number 5......

 

[jacknicholson]

It seems as though, justly, the ball is in our court. We should have at least the option of a neutral court, like Well Fargo in DM.....

Good stuff by the OP

Yes, indeed, 82.....

An addendum to #5: Crean has to wear an ankle bracelet that shocks him every time he leaves the coaches box. With an increase in voltage the further he is away.

Excellent! Then an inebriated Bobby Knight comes staggering out on the floor yelling in a slurred, "You can't make that call!"

Excellent idea. Invisible fence like my dog … works very well.

Crean coaches with Dwight Schrute shadowing and mimicking him everywhere he goes.

 

[doclee]

The only concession I would insist on would be that Crean has to coach Indiana.

I like #9. How would that register on KenPom? Iowa 212, Indiana 19.
