Doyel and Derek Podcast

Doyel and Derek weigh in on a huge offseason for IU basketball, Purdue expectations and Butler’s future. And then they reveal some personal news.

IU hires Mike Woodson as new head coach.

The IU coach search isn’t just dominating NCAA Tournament chatter … it’s also dominating the Doyel and Derek Podcast. Other topics: Purdue’s great season/lousy ending, T.Y. Hilton, Carson Wentz and the pros and cons of chocolate mini-wheats.

Doyel and Derek talk about the IU coaching job (Doyel thinks he knows who the Hoosiers will hire) and Purdue’s Final Four hopes (both are bullish), along with some Colts and Pacers insights … but only after Doyel starts the pod by chewing out pretty much everyone on Twitter.

On the latest Doyel and Derek podcast, they discuss the implosion of Indiana State, ascension of Purdue and malaise of IU, and use Gregg’s story on novelist Pat Conroy to discuss heroes – Patrick Ewing, Derek, really? – and take a shot at Marilyn Manson, Because why not.
