Just let the players do what they want until we have a new coach who will beg them to be good little boys?

Never! the biggest mistake we have recently made was hiring Davis because some of the players were whiny and didn't want this or that. Who gives a shit. If they want to play, listen to the coach whomever it is.

I'm just saying that the new coach, if he wants a shot at winning, may agree with Dakich about the kids being a handful, but he would probably rather have them back for 2 more years and then recruit his own guys. I would rather win too. After what we've been through the last 10 years, what's another 3 or 4 of losing if we just disassemble the current program and rebuild. But most coaches probably would rather win now. It's a lot different than the old days.

Bob Menke started Styline in southern Indiana. My father used to run their furniture division for his son Hank Menke who now runs the show. I never realized that he one a title at IU. Interesting.

But my question is, it seems that ALL of these players hate him. I'm not saying they have a reason to and I'll be the first to agree that they haven't been playing for Indiana this whole season, but Dak's record as a player's coach isn't exceptional. He'll tell you that himself. I just don't know if keeping him around the program will be on the top priority list for the new coach. Would you rather have talent that Dak ran off the team (rightly or wrongly) or the guy who thinks he should have your job?

He came into a most difficult position of unrest where IMO the players quit on him(exception DJ). we should be hating Samson not Dak. look i dont think Dak is head coach material, but i do think hes deserved everything IU has given him and our respect (and the players). i think he would do anything for IU basketball and we should get off his back about getting rid of these two players. hey i hope coach knight comes back to a team like LSU and hires Dak. i just think Dak wants whats best for IU, and whats best for IU is to get rid of trouble makers. look slavery ended with the civil war they didnt have to be at IU they could have quit, but i think they wanted to be martyrs.
