    Cool - I just see some posts say "pay him whatever" and a lot of times there are other factors that are potentially out of your control.

    What if he does not know what he wants. What if he says I want to wait until July to see what Westbrook is going to do before I say yes. The Orlando magic once introduced him at a press conference then he backed out after. That being said, I still believe. I think we played hardball today and he will come Back.

    I hear he is looking for a cooler climate.

    He has been posting similar info for awhile and said earlier in the week to expect a meeting this week. He has not said that Donovan to IU is a certainty though

    If OG stays in the first round he has to go. Staying hurts him and puts his $ future at risk.

    You know I will have to give it to him if he is back. Figuratively and literally as I will move on from IU basketball as one of my primary areas of interest. I won't be bitter and in some ways will admire them (for sticking to the gut) for trying another year of this when they have to know the potential for a fan revolt is huge. If he is back they can have the program. It would be time to move on.

    Just turned that game on. Does he not play much or did he four out?

    Do they want to keep Crean over there? Is that where all supporters have gone

    I asked 708 if he knew whether we had some talks 2 years ago and he did it think we had. I could not remember who shared this last time but your post reminded me - the Janitor.

    I don't think anyone has consistently said it was a done deal. Some have said he will be the next coach but have also later stated that if all continues or based on what they think. Might happen or might not

    Could have been there to talk after game

    Marshal is maybe third tier for me but I have no problem with Glass talking to him if it gets that far.

    I don't think he is commenting on coaches but the next name on the list. http://tigerboard.com/boards/view.php?message=14619456

    We don't spend much time on our boards talking about NC States coaching search so I would not expect much from other boards on our search. That being said, someone linked a discussion on the Illini board discussing Donovan to Indiana and I am pretty sure there was a link from a Kentucky board as well. I don't have those links, just memory. Then you have the Florida radio guy and a couple of random tweets this week (grizzly and a guy named red). The chatter has been outside of the IU boards but it is the guys who are Indiana insiders and have had some early info before that are really fueling the Donovan fire. Until the new coach takes over we don't know who we will get. So far though, of the linked names i would be good with the candidates

    Can I be a mod intern for a few weeks? Asking for a friend

    Still close to the program as well?

    The last time when we missed the NIT we had a 17-15 record I think

    Well it is good to have different perspectives on a message board even when I disagree. Time for Crean to go but I could not think of anyone more counter to what Indiana has stood for than Sampson. In Sampsons short time here he lied repeatedly, brought in kids who spent more time marketing drugs than in class and built a toxic culture that had to be blown up.

    TOM CREAN FIRED

    Yeah and the guy that posted that about the Sampson info from a newbie is a really smart guy. Really smart

    He has we noticeably absent for about a week unless I have missed him

    Old article about Sean Miller. Interesting though and as you read through it you can feel that there is this tension Arizona has about trying to keep him. Near the end, it is interesting to see that the football team is struggling somewhat financially. Perhaps this could be why Sean would leave what seems to be a great place. Note that the article does not suggest that Sean is wanting to leave, in fact it seems he is happy there but there is a lot of discussion about money and him staying. http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/ncaab/2016/03/30/sean-miller-doesnt-ask-arizona-raises-but-he-keeps-getting-them/82383682/
  23. Ironic for a team in 10th place in the BT

    Well if that is the case and we are still parting ways at least we must have a strong plan B. Would hate to target him and spend the next month chasing only to have him say no thanks.

    Mag said Crean and Glass met this morning and Glass told him he was done after the BTT. The new part of this is that according to Mags guy they actually met today and the decision has been made and passed on to coach
