  1. I posted this earlier.  I like to try to quantify things with statistical analysis.  These are the rankings of coaches over the last 7 years.  I used SOS, win%, Pt Differential, and then added a tournament accomplishment component, double weighting tourney results.  I tried to make it out of 100, and when I ran the 1976 perfect season through the metric it scored a 100.28.  What the hell else am I going to do while I am waiting for more information on the coaching search?

    Surprised Alford is not on the bottom of the list.


  2. Also if he used Billy D as a smokescreen and one got all of the fan bases hopes up to settle for Alford he would be receiving thousands of hate calls/emails. You dont use someone as high as Billy D as a smokescreen period. The Chris Mack thing makes sense but definitely not Billy D. -99.9% chance of that.

    Definitely. I guess my point is I feel there are two groups: 1) Alford 2) Donovan. Whenever something gets leaked from either group, the other group yells louder the next day. The hard part is figuring out who is in each group (IU fans or IU admin/well sourced people).

  3. Anyone else find it funny that every time there is an "Alford to IU is a done deal" rumor there is immediately a "Billy Donovan to IU is a done deal" rumor? Either, Alford is the guy and IU doesn't want the word to officially get out yet so they leak fake Billy D rumors or Alford's camp is spreading rumors and then some top people leak anti-Alford to calm the people down. Basically, I have no idea who we are going to hire but I want it to end now.


  4. The ups and downs of this board are crazy. First everyone is certain we are getting Billy D and now the consensus is we have been turned down by all top candidates and have to "settle" on Mack. This is such a wild ride.


  5. I would be happy with Mack. Great at recruiting Indiana, constantly makes the tournament and this is his 4th Sweet 16. Now give him the resources that IU has and I think he gives us a chance at another banner.


  6. IU's next coach is... Chris Mack.

    Now this is just a theory, but hear me out...

    Pat Kelsey just had "a change of heart" and will no longer take the UMass job. I am guessing that Chris Mack (or someone close to Chris) told Kelsey he is going to be leaving Xavier and taking the IU job. Kelsey was an assistant coach at XU and is a Cincinnati native.

    Again, totally just a theory. Now back to the regular programming of Alford, Donovan, Marshall, or Bennett.


  7. I'm not discounting a coach that was already knocked out of the NCAA tournament (Miller, Marshall, Collins, etc). I know it was a different AD, but Crean was knocked out of the tournament on March 22nd and wasn't hired at IU until April 1st.


  8. I have tried to not let myself believe in the Donovan hype and am preparing for the Alford hire. That way I won't be as disappointed. That was my mentality as well every game this year after the Nebraska game.
