by Kent Sterling How many channels can be DVRed at once? The sheer tonnage of games are going to my system tonight and throughout the weekend. The only time during the weekend when I won’t be multitasking by watching two or three games at once, or catching up on games that I record will be […]
by Kent Sterling Yesterday, I posted a list of 12 coaches of Indiana teams who stand about the rest. People expressed outrage, frustration, disappointment, and occasional agreement that their favorites were omitted. Some of the names – Knute Rockne, Doc Councilman, Hobie Billingsley, Frank Leahy, Lin Dunn, Muffet McGraw, and even Notre Dame fencing master […]
by Kent Sterling Everyone loves lists, especially me, and to tell you the truth are often the more overrated or underrated elements on their teams. Despite not having a major league team until 1976 when the Indiana Pacers migrated from the ABA to the NBA, Indiana has had their fair share of great coaches. Click […]
by Kent Sterling Everything at Assembly Hall is okay. It’s not great. It’s not awful. It’s okay, and that should be what fans expect out the of the 2014-2015 Indiana Hoosiers.

by Kent Sterling It goes without saying that one more lapse in judgment from a player that results in media scrutiny of Tom Crean’s stomach for assessing the kind of consequences that results in a change of behavior will cost him the job he so desperately wants to keep. But the job isn’t limited to […]
by Kent Sterling Never has a coach and team needed a basketball game so much. The focus of fans and media has been trained on the off-court issues of the players on the Indiana University basketball team since Saturday’s injury of player Devin Davis – an injury suffered at least in part because of illegal […]
by Kent Sterling Sometimes the messages we send aren’t those that were intended, and when Indiana University point guard Yogi Ferrell stood in front of the media yesterday and claimed responsibility for his aberrant behavior as well as that of his teammates, I had one immediate and lasting thought – why didn’t coach Tom Crean […]
by Kent Sterling Change is coming at the top of the Indiana Basketball program, but it will have to wait. Fred Glass is the athletic director at Indiana University and a very smart guy, and I believe he will do the right thing. It won’t just be one right thing, but a series of right […]
