Dykes comment was up there on the list of dumb comments made by coaches. Not only does it look like sour grapes/cheap shot but it reflects just a poorly on the staff as it does on the player they are insulting. They had him for 4 years. What exactly did they do during those 4 years to help him minimize those turnovers?

I just love spring practice and the chance to read football coverage again.

More so than Knight. Coach Knight was way more combative in an era where reporters wanted to flex. The vast majority of sports reporters now just want access for clicks.

@hooky I agree to a point. I don’t like availability is run in college sports, but I also think the majority of the business is out for clicks. I get it, we are guilty of it too.
5-10 years ago we were able to sit and talk and form relationships with coaches and players and tell actual stories. Now it’s all 15-second sound bites because we get one question and it’s on to the next.

I think we're saying the same thing, just from a different generational viewpoint.
Most of Coach Knight's outbursts were because dumb, confrontational questions. Most of Cig's smartassery is the result dumb questions, that aren't confrontational, just dumb. "Google me" is a great example compared to Knight's crystal ball with the stemmed water glass. Different dyamics with the same result.

@hooky yeah, the Google me quote came after he was asked for the fourth time why people would come play for him at IU
@thehoosierhuddle As arrogant as it sounded, it now looks like a huge understatement!

“Tyler Cherry looks better and better, both throwing and physically, as each day goes by.”
my suspicions are sneaking
Yeah, I wondered too. That Cherry wins the backup job? That looking down the road a couple years is another reason Alberto left? What might be sneaking?
