He'll be a legend either way.

Stop digging.

Won his conference or tied for it 3 times at Wright State. Never better than tied for 3rd at Clemson.

I thought we were coming off that hire. Oof.

Unless one of the criteria is "we really like doing a coaching search every 4 years" then Brad Brownell is not a serious candidate.

If he got rid of Woodson just to hire Brownell then he'd deserve it.

Setting aside his age he'd never be considered because of his skeletons alone. Aside from being in his 70s I'd take him over his son 10/10 times; not to say I want the Pitino the elder, I don't give a crap about playing in the gray but his issues are beyond that and I really want no part of Pitino the younger.

Schedule shows tonight in Pendleton, Oregon then March 8 in Beaver Dam, Kentucky.

Anyone else notice the black has a subtle stripe design in it? Nice touch.

You've also got Lloyd's buyout to factor in, the original contract was 12m. I wouldn't complain about that hire though.

After a late run that makes the final score look closer than it actually was.

It's IU. A coach can't just prove they're not good enough, they need time to make a complete mess of things. That's part of the process.

And each move has been a promotion that he couldn't be blamed for taking.

Recent history says there's a good chance. With a non zero chance we hire someone no other program would give the time of day to.

I can't blame them. I'd have a very difficult time going above that even for the white whale, that's a big contract.

I'd just like to not be disappointed with the coaching hire, after the last 2 that should be a pretty low bar. I say that knowing Indiana's last 25 years says they'll just grab a shovel.

IIRC, he said he misses the teaching aspect and sometimes the chess match.

I'd certainly rather have McDermott than McCollum. IU has whiffed on too many hires to take that risk.

It's 16mil until April 1.

Cronin would be Tom Crean level ceiling but more consistency. Not bad but not worth his buyout.

He's thinking of another date to pull out of his backside.

Here's the cliffsnotes version. DMV keeps trying to make Mark Turgeon a thing. It's not going to be happen. He successfully united the board, just not how he wanted.

Turgeon: "Scott, it's Mark again, about that opening...." Dolson: "Mark, again, you're not getting the job. If you keep asking I'll have to change my number." Talks have occurred.

IU hires Happy Gilmore as the new basketball coach citing an out of the box approach.

Stop trying to make Mark Turgeon happen, it's not going to happen.
