Indiana HS Hoops

Historical, impactful and Revolutionary!

@SethDavisHoops Seth, many mental illnesses happen between 18 and 23. It’s called college professor brainwashing. Jaden Ivy is smart enough to know right from wrong. He knows the way. He’s focused on eternal life not things you’re focused on.

@BallStateSports @MickTidrow @ChrisCapko @BallStateMBB @ChrisCapko Welcome Chris. If our family can help you and your family and your program we will. My wife and I are both BSU alums and our son played for Ball State basketball. We are excited for a new chapter and want to be a positive help.

Time to meet Coach Capko! @MickTidrow chats with @ChrisCapko about leading @BallStateMBB, his journey, and much more‼️

@LewJacksShorts @JonRothstein Your right. He rode coat tails well but on his own as the leader of the "staff" he failed! 1st year He inherited a loaded group he didn't recruit that gave him a 20 win season. 3 consecutive years he could not even make the MAC tourney with "his guys". He recruited them!

@IE_Diesel @JonRothstein Michael Lewis was on two different staffs that went to final fours at schools who have not been relevant since. Maybe a little more time and a little more respect could be shown in a time where it’s impossible to be a mid major coach. He is old school, but he’s a winner.

Sources: Ball State has zeroed in on SMU's Chris Capko to be its next head coach. The two sides are now working through terms of a deal that would make Capko --- who was instrumental in Andy Enfield's success at both USC and SMU --- the Cardinals' next head coach.

@LewJacksShorts @JonRothstein Lewis had no leadership. Mr. Negative. Can’t play for a coach that is uber critical and still coaching like the 80’s with fear and intimidation tactics

@JonRothstein Never should’ve gotten rid of Michael Lewis, program is going nowhere without him.

@dmbriguy7 @PaulMBanks Michael Lewis, Mik Cronin same people

@PaulMBanks Why would anyone want to play for that guy? Seems like a miserable human being.

Purdue sent Mick Cronin off. The UCLA coach went on an obscenity-laced tirade, against his own staff and team, at halftime in the tunnel leading to the locker room. This was in the hallway, in full view of several people, including myself. Several LOUD f-bombs dropped

@CycloneLarry69 Beth Getz destroyed Butler then destroyed Ball State. I’m glad you have her at Iowa.

Becoming very apparent who the problem in the Fran McCaffrey/Iowa relationship was

@Tyroneshelton @the378014 @SSN_BallState Yes he left because Lewis toxicity and not playing TJ much. Found a home where it is the opposite. BSU needs a positive, inspirational and encouraging leader. We will pay for it!

@the378014 @SSN_BallState Pretty weak question. Why don’t you ask TJ why he left.

Hey @SSN_BallState is the NIL so bad in Muncie where we let TJ Burch go and now he’s the reason they’re going dancing?

@Sakahachi_17 He wrote a thank you note to Coach Whit for leaving him all of his players

Hey man. Despite everything they say, that first season was special.

@AKasle_BU I agree he should probably be a counselor or a therapist not a coach

Story time: I was a sophomore at Butler when Mike Lewis was there. He knew I was a huge basketball fan and invited me into his office to talk hoops with me often. I was just a regular student and he made me feel special. One of the legit good dudes in college basketball.

@indystar The 20 win season was not his team. It was Coach Whit, Coach Botts and coach Grunkemeyer . He inherited good talent and a good team and rode the coattails. When he had to fly solo, he flopped.

Michael Lewis went 20-12 in his first season -- the program's first 20-win season in 6 seasons -- but saw his win total drop to 15, 14 and 12 indystar.com/story/sports/c…

@JeffRabjohns You came to 0 games you don’t know. He was awful. He came in thinking he’s Gene Hackman. He was disrespectful since day 1. Treated people like he was a king. Your speak is only because he’s an IU alum and that’s how you get paid. His coaching style is all intimidation and fear.

Ball State’s resources currently allocated to men’s basketball aren’t close to what is needed to compete with the top MAC teams. This is about resources, not coaching. Everyone knows Lewis can coach.

@BallStateSports He had resources and ballers. His arrogance,filth and victimhood led to his demise. It took a couple days to recover because being around this guy was like a chemo treatment. WE paid him $571,000 to leave. Very happy for Botts at Miami - he blamed Botts last year on losses.

Ball State announces change in men's basketball leadership. 📰: NEWS RELEASE tinyurl.com/yn3r7h89

@Incognito01235 @GoodmanHoops @TheFieldOf68 They obviously have resources paying him $571,000 to leave! He ran off an All Big 12 player Jaylin Sellers now a Providence stud, Sparks who went to IU and Bashir who was all Pac 10. He inherited good turned it bad. We have money. BSU won't be incognito

@IE_Diesel @GoodmanHoops @TheFieldOf68 Ball State is never going to win with their resources. It has little to do with the coach. If you are saying anything else you literally know nothing about the sport. Theses a good chance they eventually get removed from the MAC.

Ball State has fired head coach Michael Lewis, source told @thefieldof68. Lewis was 61-64 in his four seasons as head coach. Ball State is considered a bottom half of the MAC job - per the job rankings I did last month. Need to step up resource-wise to be able to compete with the Miami University’s, UMass, Toledo, Ohio, Akron and Kent State

@SeanMichael317 @GoodmanHoops @TheFieldOf68 Good recruiter - Sellers All Big twelve and still balling well at Providence, Bashir All Pac Ten, Sparks great recruit. He got really good players during NIL. Coach Lew is not the victim.

@IE_Diesel @GoodmanHoops @TheFieldOf68 Yearning for “coach Witt” is crazy work 😂

Bill Ackman literally gave a 44-minute masterclass that explains money better than any business school:

I am not a jingoist by any stretch of the word. Moreover, my daughter is on the USS Lincoln as we speak. I have skin in this game. I have read (and heard) a lot of BS about whether or not we should be in Iran. Let me be clear... I've been a SME on Iran for 25÷ years. I speak Persian Farsi, Dari, Balochi, and Tajik. I've been to Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan, and yes... Iran. There are few who know Iran as "intimately" as I do. The reasons for this war are nuanced and complicated, but one thing is clear as day... the Iranian people (by and large) are good people and they just want to have the same liberty and freedom we have. Their women and girls want to be able to go out into public without having to fear if they'll be arrested and beaten (or even killed) by the "Virtue Police". If you cannot see that, and you cannot support the liberation of a people that have been brutally oppressed for 47+ years... then you have no humanity and you and I are not the same. Our past with Iran is not a good one (Operation Ajax or Iran Contra)... but a vast majority of the Iranians (and Americans) today have no idea why the relationship between our two countries soured in the first place. A vast majority of Iranians have only ever known abject tyranny and Islamic brutally... they love America. I will not debate this with anyone. Either get on team America and support the liberation of a brutalized people... or STFU and continue to wallow in your miserable hypocrisy and enjoy freedom you never had to earn or fight for. God Bless America. God Bless our Men and Women in Uniform. I said what I said. 🔥🇺🇸🇺🇸🔥

@MtnViewsCO I think the movie Mrs. Doubtfire really gave inspiration to people like her him

Say what you will, but it takes balls to stare down the President of the United States like that.

🚨NEW: Trump calls the USA Hockey Team to congratulate them after the victory and invite them all to the State of the Union address on Tuesday night. A REALLY cool moment. They are all on Cloud nine! "You're going to be proud of this game for 50 years!"
