I've been fairly high on McCollum for a while and will be very supportive if it's him. But I do have to admit that I worry about his pace of play. I know that many fans would struggle with this alternative... but I see a lot to like about Alan Huss (appreciate Chris...I think it was Chris, for raising his name here). Love his aggressive style of play and his demeanor on the sidelines and in press conferences. He strikes me as a guy who can easily connect to top talent. I'm sure his time at La Lumiere was beneficial. He's probably not in the right place and time for this search, but I have a feeling he's going to become a household name among hoops fans.

Crimson Cast has a nice profile starting at the 28 minute mark.

This thread could just as easily/appropriately have been named Mark Tangent.

He did have an above average level of success during his first year in the league...nine years ago! I'm not saying he should be ruled out, but I do wonder what eight straight seasons of coaching increasingly bad teams has done to his psyche.

My issue is that our guys have looked great over the past several years, but we've not seen positive results. When Nebraska can push you around with a bunch of skinny guys (including a couple with beer guts), maybe it's time to refocus more of the summer training hours on fundamentals.

I can see it in my mind. En route to Evanston the team bus drives over the Chicago Skyway and at the very peak Woody's eyes light up and he exclaims "man, this is a very big hump, but we just got over it"! Definitely going undefeated in our remaining games.

This! Just make it clear it's an interim tag not leading to a full-time hire. I suspect that anyone on the staff could get some decent wins with our talent level...and allow us to end the season on at least a neutral note.

Like OKHOOSIER I understand the frustration. But from the outside looking in, booing players is very ugly. If you are a perspective recruit or recruit's parent seeing it (by watching the game, on social media, etc.), why on earth would you want to risk being on the receiving end it when there are so many other options to choose from? This mess is a result of poor/absent leadership and coaching. Most of these players have demonstrated in the past that they can/would perform much better under good or even just average coaching. Just my two cents...nothing personal.

UM is apparently more similar to Louisville than IU...no humps!

You may be on to something. 37-11 in his college coaching career to date. Digging into the losses, these are the margins of defeat: 1, 2, 5 (OT), 8, 5, 5 (OT), 2, 1 (OT), 10 (2023 CBI championship game), 10, 4

Lack of motion, betrays each fan’s notion, of winning potion One asks why, it's so hard to try, no dancing, goodbye!

Sure, he may be 1-0 at the Kohl Center, but Dusty isn't up to speed on the highly advanced nail-slot-rim and stand-still/buddy-ball schemes that will eventually lead us to greatness (if only the other teams would cooperate!).

CBS Sports story on Cignetti In case this hasn't been posted. Nothing new, just some nice recognition.

Definitely. She's #5 on multiple 2025 WNBA draft projections.

Concur with the sentiments but I think you (unintentionally) overstated how IU operates these days, so I fixed it for you. :)
