Hey, the cheer girls give you something to look at when the game sucks.
How Long Until Sisley De-Commits?
- Thread starter DwaynePurvis00
- Start date
Not sure what they showed on TV, but Haas, AJ, Kramer and Lewis Jackson were all there
The Kid has shown us his lack of judgement, he is not a program changer, stay far away. I wish the kid all the best and has a average career.
Even if he did, do we think Painter and the team would welcome him being he chose IU over them initially? If he said he now wants to play here.
Not sure he decommits , I doubt Woodson was his main draw to pick IU to begin with.
With his past, he's sorta the perfect fit
Haha he might. But it’d just be funny to see history repeat itself with another Montverde kid de committing from IU 😂
I think he chose the school not Woodson
You never know which kid might decommit from any school, but I think it's safe to say that the strongest chance of Trent Sisley decommitting would have been if Mike Woodson had remained coach next year.
So now it's all that much more likely that Sisley will be at IU next year, happily playing for Coach Stevens! Or Coach Fife! Or Coach Pearl! Or Coach Spoelstra! Or Coach Dakich!!!! Who the f**k knows - we clearly suck bad at coaching hires.

Ugh, they have a building named after Kinsey and hired Sampson when they knew he was doing some illegal things. That said, unless they offered a lot more money than the going rate, Beard may not want to go to IU out of respect for Knight.
I’d be more nervous if they hire Shrewsberry. That dude can flat out coach and recruit. But Beard? Meh, he’s had mild success.
Not sure he would leave ND if offered...but who knows?
10-12 right now and 23-32 overall.
Can he recruit? Yes.
Have seen him win but not yet at ND really.
That would be awful. I'd prefer they hire a coach I would enjoy cheering against.
I am a Shrewsbury fan, but
- Shrewsbury has a D1 coaching record of 60-63 in four seasons, with one rd 32 NCAA appearance in three seasons (one tourney was Covid-cancelled).
- Chris Beard has a D1 coaching record of 208-91 in ten seasons, with five NCAA appearances in eight seasons (Covid-cancellation and dismissal year excluded), an Elite 8 and a National Championship game. That is more than 'mild success'.
Micah was not a head coach during the Covid-cancelled tournament. He was at Purdue.
But yes, Beard is by far the more accomplished coach.
I think the issue most IU fans don't realize is that the mix of admin/boosters piety and lack of support for anything but impeccable behavior, and the fans being so far out of touch with reality as to expectations puts anyone who comes there as a coach in an impossible position.
If you run through the coaching carosel from Knight to today you see the following - Knight, winningest coach in IU's history who is also responsible for getting them to "Blue Blood status" - fired after a few mediocre seasons vs. other blue bloods who support their cheating/asshole coaches to the end. Davis, took you to a finals appearance (imagine if you wouldn't have tossed Knight....) got kicked to the curb after 1 loosing season. Dakich, fired (I think everyone will agree with this one). Sampson, Fired for sending text messages vs. Blue bloods that would defend their great coach and tell the NCAA to F off or cover it up. Crean, Fired after taking IU to the S16 in 3 of the past 6 tourneys and being ranked #1 for a chunk of time 2 seasons prior to being canned. Archie, fired he was one of the best options you had after you treated your previous 5 coaches so horribly, and probably was in over his head. Woodson, fired again was an ok option that was left (admin/boosters wanted an IU guy....) after you treated your previous 6 coaches horribly, when from the start IU should have been planning to replace him right now regardless of performance using him as a bridge to build the program back up and get their reputation back to a decent level. Instead you just added another coach to the list of really crappy, career ending, stints as the IU head coach.
IU's reputation is now at a point where the only coaches it can attract are ones that don't have any other good program opportunities, and don't mind risking their career to cash out. It has nothing to do with tradition, or resources, or pay day. It has to do with a mix of unachievable morals from the boosters/admin, and unachievable expectations from the fanbase. You can have one of those and be successful, but both together is asking for a miracle and isn't going to happen.
