Maybe you were trying to focus the conversation away from true love and on Mr. Garland...  Or maybe you were trying to link the post from ITH with that picture.

I was trying to return the focus of the thread to where it belonged. 

Thanks for posting the article. hadn't seen it, and I got the picture randomly off the internet, presumably, just as they did.

We should all hit Darius up on Twitter today to keep his mind fresh on the Hoosiers.

gotta believe it's going to be quite intimidating to have the Rat right across the table from you

Hope we can hang onto Schilling semi long term. Seems primed for a gig. Hoping he's content.

Why do you think that? Age 50 is pretty late to go looking for a head coach job. Archie pulled him from a very good gig at UCLA; it's pretty clear that he wants to be here.

Ed Shilling is such a good recruiter because he's such a good basketball coach. The best players understand that.

 

And, FWIW, Tom Ostrom is such a good recruiter because...he's such a good recruiter.

$$$. He seems to garner respect from everyone. He can recruit. He can coach. He's a get. But yeah, some people don't have that desire to be THE guy. Hoping that's the case here.

I could be totally wrong on this, but I think I read something around the time both Ostrom and Schilling were hired that we better enjoy them while we have them. Both have head coaching aspirations if I remember correctly.

He had the head job once at Wright St. and surely has had head job offers from others over the years.  Maybe he decided the 'head ned' gig isn't what he truly wants; to constantly be in the spotlight.

If Archie is who we hope he is, assistants will churn and burn as they inherently benefit from his tutelage and reputation, but there will always be the next best up-and-comer waiting for his shot to learn from Archie at Indiana. Keep the captain on the ship, and we'll find new deckhands when needed.

I more worry about him taking an NBA or Kentucky assistant job, as he's close with Calipari.  I agree though, I'm hoping we can get at least 4 good years out of him.  Hopefully he REALLY likes being back in Indiana and doesn't bolt for a job like Ball State or Butler.

Schilling is a big adidas guy, one of the main reasons he left ucla is because they are switching to under armor. He's not going to a non adidas school if he leaves.

Ostrom recruited the core of the last repeat National Champion if he wanted to be a HC I think he would be.

He tried to get the Dayton job so I think he does want to.

From T. J. Walker -

Kentucky will visit Darius Garland this evening.

[WayneFleekHoosier 46,725]

I maintain, I'm most worried about UK with Garland.

Would Garland go there as the second string PG though? He could easily start at IU or Vandy. It'll be interesting to see what he wants.
