by Kent Sterling Next year, the NCAA will force college players to decide whether they will forgo their remaining eligibility to enter the NBA Draft by the middle of April, and that will make it very difficult for a kid and his family to make the right choice. Not everyone deciding to leave college for [...]
by Kent Sterling It’s unclear whether those on the NCAA Board of Directors have changed the rules governing the date a player must decide to pull their name from NBA Draft eligibility because they are selfish mopes or simply mean-spirited stooges. Beginning next year, basketball players will need to decide before the first day of [...]
by Kent Sterling Former Indiana University Basketball coach Bob Knight has always had a knack for getting his message lost in the midst of his bombast. He thinks the right things, but when they come out of his mouth, he’s either factually challenged or so colorful that it becomes almost impossible to agree with him. [...]
by Travis Schroering Well another college basketball season has come and gone. My Hoosiers once again showed that they are not ready for the big time, yet. Butler gave the Hoosier state someone to root for and something to be proud of. So, the question to answer now is, ”What do I do with my free [...]
by Kent Sterling It seems trivial, this report of the phone calls made to recruits by Bilal Batley, the former manager and assistant director of basketball operations at Oklahoma and Indiana under Kelvin Sampson and at Memphis and Kentucky under John Calipari.

By Travis Schroering Well, the weekend is upon us and the Hoosier state is ready to bear down and watch the Butler Bulldogs battle for a National Championship this weekend. As we head into the weekend, here are some random thoughts that have been occupying my mind: 1) NBA players please stop taking your jerseys [...]
By Austin Miller I really want to preface this now. The fact that Matt Painter is mulling over whether or not he wants to leave Purdue over Missouri has more to do with the Purdue athletic department than it does with Tom Crean’s in-state recruiting. Yes there should be excitement for IU’s 2012 class, but [...]
By Austin Miller The madness resumes tonight and the anticipation is only building on what should be another four exciting days where anything becomes possible. For those expecting chalk to finally prevail, let’s not be so quick to assume these things. There are no great teams in this years tournament and that includes Ohio St. [...]
by Kent Sterling Sometimes the best way to learn what’s right is to get it wrong.

I assumed [...]
