That was a bit different.  I don't generally use IP bans these days (for reasons in a moment) - but it can be a good indication of when someone is *likely* the same person because they post from the same exact IP address frequently and no other users use that IP.

In your case, it was a block of 255 IPs that got banned (by a wildcard -- "*") that happened to correlate to those owned by AT&T.  In fact, I know several other people must have seen your same message before it was fixed.  This is where IP gets fuzzy - especially with mobile phones.  You might access from 20 different IP addresses every day depending on when you access with your cell phone and where.  Based on an AT&T block - it's highly doubtful that poster was in the same location.  Could have been virtually anywhere in the US, but your coffee shop must use AT&T internet of some sort

Ah got it.  Well dang.  Thought I could've made a new friend.

So shoothoops, the guy who posts in topics just because he wants to and is way too enlightened to engage in the tribal debates that happen here, has created two sockpuppets that reply to one another?

That's vintage stuff right there.

Kind of funny that Travis Ford's son was busted for doing this exact same thing on Twitter. Is ShootHoops Travis Ford's child?

[Dr. Blackheart]

This is a great example!  Very unlikely you are willie.  However, you use a TON of IPs, and based on that the software does correlate you with a bunch of other users (I don't think you're them either).

So Rita is stalking 4ever, Sultan and Wades?

I'm actually 4ever.

Goodman/Field of 68 reporting Chris Holtmann is out at Ohio State.

I doubt the Buckeyes and DePaul are swimming in the same pool of candidates, however Trilly did have Josh Schertz listed as one of the names OSU should target.

DePaul was never going to be the only job open, but practically every job that comes available will be more attractive and will complicate their search.

Indeed.

I could see OSU going after Dusty May or Lamont Paris.

Not that it matters, Ohio State recruits nationally or can, but Paris is an Ohio native and has 8 years coaching in the Big Ten as an assistant at UW-Madison.

The question will be whether the hire is splashy enough for Buckeye fans.  I think he'd kill it at Ohio State.  He isn't long term at USC.  Suppose it'll depend on how they finish

The buckeyes fans I associate with would be happy with either of those two. And they (the fans/friends) know ball (at least they did when the Buckeyes used to Matta).

[Zog from Margo]

DePaul should hire Holtmann. He was a good coach at Butler. 

[MurphysTillClose]

Dusty is an IU grad. He may be waiting for that one.

[PGsHeroes32]

Interesting what happens with IU.

Don't see them firing Woodson. Think it's gonna have to be one he resigns from. Will he?

Ohio State fans like Jay Wright.

Along with fans of Michigan, Kentucky, Louisville, UNC, ........

I read a post on a Michigan board that claimed that Wright left Nova so he could have a few years off before taking the Michigan job, and not hurt Villanova's feeling by going directly to Michigan.

I figured he left nova to sit out a few years then come back, as not to pull a RR and leave your alma mater. It's a bad look that way. "

So, the post doesn't say he quit Villanova and was waiting for Michigan to open

Ok, it was on a Michigan site in reference to Wight becoming the next head coach. I didn't fully vet the intent of the goofy post. The reason and context  for bringing it up was to point out how some fans a delusional about coaching candidates to the point of wild conspiracy theories about Wright's retirement. Don't think we need to over think this.

The funniest part about this is that Villanova isn't his alma mater. He went to Bucknell.

Anyway, Wright has stated he is done coaching and doesn't miss it.

[MU82]

Yep, and I actually believe him.

He got out at the top as a relatively young man. Very smart.

[Scoop Snoop]

Yep, and I actually believe him.

Yeah, but I'll bet he misses recruiting.

Oh, there are a good number that want Wright, if you question the number of fans who think Wright should be Michigan's next head coach.

As for the quoted post; I did make it clear that this was one 'goofy' post about a strategy to move from Nova. I did not say 'a thread' or 'pages of posts'. I only copied the single relevant post. But again, it was to use the extreme as an example of misguided expectations. Any interpretation that Michigan Nation is in on the retirement ruse is unintentional.
