    IU and Matta had a deal but he failed a physical apparently.

    I find this very hard to believe for multiple reasons.

    EDIT: I will now go one step further. I am pretty much absolutely certain this is not true, and don’t know what the hell they were thinking when they published this.

    Seems like this would be an Americans With Disabilities Act problem.

    IU actually offered the job to Jon Wooden, but he (albeit barely) failed the physical.

    BTW, coaches don’t have to take physicals. I’ve never even heard of something like that before.

    Really surprised Matta even considered IU based on his disdain for the program. Guess money always talks.

    Dr friend who was game time ENT for OSU invited me to an IU game and we went down to locker room to chat with him hours before the game. Let’s just say he had an extreme hatred towards the program, which was not only about being Big Ten competitors.

    I mean I understand generally they don't but Matta had some major health issues at OSU that made it impossible for him to perform some of his job duties. One reporter close to the IU program said he sources are saying this isn't true but it would make sense that IU would request Matta to undergo a physical.

    Again no idea if this is true or not but if it was it would make sense IU would deny it for many reasons. It isn't outlandish to think Matta was required to take one either.

    Matta's back is well and completely fucked.
