Indiana hires Darian DeVries as head coach.

I laugh some - Indiana to me in basketball is like Nebraska in football. I get why Devries would go where the money for players is.

However, Indiana has made the NCAA tourney only 2 times in the last 9 years - think about that.

Their last final four was 23 years ago.

Program is washed. I'm sure people thin NIL money can bring them back, but I have my doubts.
 
So it goes

There are certainly other coaches who Might work out

But the Drake coach is a proven commodity

At least this season

DD certainly seemed like a promising one

Kinda CutThroat dealings

Apparently we are beggers not choosers at this point in time

Drastic rebuilding from the bottom up now
 
Why am I not broken up over a coach whose team never made the tournament this year. The culture will need to change at Iowa as far as NIL money and fan attendance or it won't matter anyway. Let's give Beth a chance before throwing the towel in.

From my other post but belongs here

Starting to think about it, Indiana just went out and snagged the WVU coach, who just missed the tournament, despite a robust NIL, rabid fan base and money to pay top dollar for a coach. This is their guy, again, who missed the tournament. Does he have a tourney win? how many NCAA wins? And Indiana went and bought him out? He took the WV job immediately after signing an 8 year deal with Drake and now is on his 3rd job in 3 years?

Surely this dude has ton of tournament success to bring this kind of juice? Hell Alford had a S16 at a mid major right?

What has Devries done really I guess and that’s what Indiana fans are now asking. I’m not having any buyers remorse, at least yet.

I’m gonna talk myself into whoever we end up with lol, but this wasn’t like, Shaka Smart or Hurley or some sure shot shit…. Indiana reached and for what??? To beat out Iowa ????lol. Soft, I think they just over spent on a coach who’s on a roller coaster ride of emotions.

Devries is their what, 4th or 5th pick if you believe what you read ??))and the fan base is having a meltdown already with hiring a guy who has no tournament success & who just missed it with a big budget.

Shits a game of chess. Only time will tell.

Also, He may find out about the DRAKEonian fan base in Indiana. They will not be as forgiving and patient as the Iowa fan base.
