Billy Donovan is an obvious answer.  Doesn't make him "the" answer.   I think he's an obvious, but pretty short-sighted answer.  What makes anyone think he'd leave the Thunder to come to Indiana?  He's no more likely to leave than Brad Stevens is.  He's got 3 years left on a $30 million contract.  What makes anyone think he'd drop that to come to Indiana?  He's a name.  We all know who he is.   Does not make him the right guy to go after.  

He's just the next guy after Stevens since we know Stevens isn't coming.    Anyone who says "then there is no answer" sells the coaching community way short.  You guys think we need a big name?  Like Crean?  Or Sampson?    Those were big names, too.   Billy Donovan is not coming to Indiana.  Oh, and I could not care LESS how many NIT's a guy's won.   Laugh all you want.  You're not doing anything but name dropping.   What happens when Donovan's name goes the way of Stevens'?   Will the next guy be "the right guy" in your eyes because we've all heard of him and he has credentials you can name?  

Billy Donovan has credentials.  That is completely irrelevant to whether or not he is the right answer at Indiana.  So go on and "lol."   He's not coming, so he's not the answer.

Neat.

Billy Donovan is the answer to any team's question, outside of a few.  He has a grand slam's worth of credentials.

All of your post is just words and trying to be the smartest guy in the room.  I wouldn't be surprised if you're one who thinks Greg Tonagel is "the answer".

Yes, there are plenty of coaches who could come to Indiana and probably do wonderful things.  But none of them have the same credentials as Billy Donovan.  Only he knows if he would come here, so it's ridiculous for anyone to say he will or won't come here.

Ah, I was hoping he would have changed the auto response after the last month.
