TOM CREAN FIRED

Recommended Posts

Holtman, Archie, Collins, Fife- just not confident these guys can recruit at a high level. I am not one who thinks all we need is a fundamental coach. I'd like to see IU actually contend nationally. Need to recruit at a high level for that. Top 10 classes. I could see Archie growing into that kind of coach/recruiter. Hard to see it from the others. Sure hope the Billy D talks go somewhere..that's the closest thing to a sure thing.

Here it is. 

 

 

 

P.S. Not sure if it's kosher to link to other boards.  If not, then please delete.

 

 

 

I went ahead and removed it because technically it's a no-no but if 41 or Pap give it the thumbs up I'll put it back in there for ya.

There are going to be unknowns with any coach.  We didn't know for sure if Crean could recruit at a high enough level here, he had never done it before.  Holtmann or A. Miller or Collins would have every resource needed at their disposal right here to recruit at a high level, and make no mistake the Indiana name would help them just as it helped Crean.

I'd prefer to see more from Fife.  I would love to see him back on the IU bench though.

 

 

The only way Dane Fife is coming back to the IU bench is as head coach, probably with Michael Lewis and Tom Coverdale at his side as assistants. And a 30 year solution like that intrigues me.

I have NO doubt that, absent a targeted, successful run at Billy Donovan, Dane Fife will be a name that any IUBB search committee considers AND interviews.

We need a high profile name or rock star and we need to pay for it. Someone who could rally the masses!

Billy Donovan, Sean Miller, Tony Bennett, Jay Wright, Shaka Smart, Izzo, etc.

Shaka Smart, really?  Are you being serious?

Collins recruiting Chicago with the iu brand intrigues me very much.

Greg Marshall's age is a deterrent for me. Plus I don't think he will be able to recruit 5 star type players. He is successful because he knows his stuff. Not sure it will translate to the big stage.

Same here.Along with his age is the prickly, strange demeanor.Weve had enough of that lately.

Sean Miller is not leaving Arizona. Can't see Izzo or Wright leaving their current gigs, either.

Shaka Smart, no. Just no.

I think Shaka Smart would rally the masses to march to Bloomington and escort Glass out of the state permanently.
