by Kent Sterling Before I even begin writing, I want you to be aware that everything I embrace in this post represents pie in the sky ideals from a time long past that cannot return. Tom Crean might as well submit a letter of resignation as adopt any of these philosophies. I know they are […]
by Kent Sterling There are some Indiana fans who remain unsold on the coaching acumen of Tom Crean, and after last season’s woes Purdue fans are losing a little patience with Matt Painter. But very few could name 50 coaches better than both. Click here to follow Kent Sterling on Twitter Yesterday, ESPN released coaches […]
by Kent Sterling Just because the Indiana Hoosiers season ended in disappointment with the Big Ten Tourney loss to Illinois, the news doesn’t stop rolling out of Bloomington. Senior Will Sheehey will play in the Reese’s D-1 All-Star Game at Cowboys Stadium. If you are planning to attend the game in person, ignore the TV […]
by Kent Sterling Rumors waft through media workrooms this time of year, and I heard one the other day that did not please me. It’s not Tom Crean’s job to please anyone in the media. He answers to his players and athletic director Fred Glass, but the fallout for another transfer will be far less […]

Florida is playing tonight for a chance to make its fourth straight Elite Eight appearance (and sixth in nine years), and Gators coach Billy Donovan is attempting to coach in […]

by Kent Sterling Players leave programs all the time. It happens almost everywhere, and for the most part, it’s a win/win/win as the kid wins, the program he goes to wins, and the program he leaves wins. That will likely be the case for Austin Etherington, a redshirt sophomore who has asked for and has […]
by Kent Sterling I tweeted during the Texas Southern play-in loss that coach former Hoosiers coach and current Texas Southern leader Mike Davis is to basketball coaches as Jimmy Carter is to U.S. presidents. For the next hour, people offered additional parallels, and thus the birth of this post. Leaders come in all shapes, sizes, […]
by Kent Sterling Prior to being snubbed by the tournament that theoretically invites the 69th-100th best basketball teams in the country to play in anonymity for a couple more weeks, the brain trust at Assembly Hall decided that Indiana would not seek nor accept an invitation to the CBI Tournament. That was the right call […]
by Kent Sterling Cynics among Indiana Basketball fans have called for the curtain to come down on the 2013-2014 Hoosiers season for weeks, but with two games left Indiana is still playing for a chance to get to 9-9 and lay claim to an at-large bid to the Big Dance. This team was left for […]
