My kids get grumpy when they stay up too late too! :)

This isn't about the hire... But Purdue just got CRUSHED! I love watching them lose. Need Alford to take down Kentucky tomorrow now!

Not that this guy is highly credible just yet ... But I don't think anyone posted this yet ...

The beauty of living 5 minutes from IU ... Can't stand 37 right now.

24 sports. One team.

It's funny... Someone claims a plane carrying Billy D or his agents just touched down in Bloomington, everyone applauds and dreams of banner 6. Someone posts they know a girl sleeping with a couple guys on the team and she knows that Billy D has contacted players, we once again begin dreaming of banner 6. When you read an article from a journalist who says "we've confirmed the search firm has reached out to several coaches to gauge the interest level" and all you hear is "Peegs is crap" "I don't believe a word" I don't mind rumors, I enjoy them ... But sorry I'll believe a journalist claiming "confirmed" over some of these crazy rumors.

From Rabjohns : Where the Indiana coaching search stands 2:09 PM So, where does Indiana’s coaching search stand right now in the actual process? What is happening right now is the search firm that Indiana hired, Parker Executive Search, is in the process of reaching out to coaches to gauge the interest level of those coaches. Where this starts is with any coach at any level with whom IU would like to discuss it’s opening. At this point, Peegs.com has confirmed IU has gotten positive feed back from several coaches, all of whom are currently on our updated coaching Hot Board. Now, more coaches could be contacted by the search firm today, tomorrow, next week. I don’t want to put specific names in this report just yet to avoid giving the impression that timing of communication is indicative of level of interest, either from IU in a coach or a coach in IU. Sometimes timing of communication can be related to travel, still being the NCAA Tournament, a coach needing to sit down with his representation before responding, etc. These are people who have and can offer multi-million dollar contracts. The point of this note is more about where the process stands right now and how it is most likely to unfold in the next few days, and beyond. Here is what we have been told by multiple sources on that front: After Parker gets feedback — positive or negative — from the coaches IU wants to reach, that will be gathered and presented to decision makers at IU. At that point, IU will go through the feedback, see what they feel is learned from the feedback and proceed with interviews. As far as timing, getting to the point of starting interviews probably isn’t a 24-hour situation. It may not even be a 48-hour situation. It could be a couple days before interviews start in earnest. With coaching searches, things can change at any point in time. That’s just the nature of these situations. But at this point in time, IU wants to proceed in a thoughtful and unrushed manner. The goal is to fully vet all options and make the right decision, not make a fast decision. The focus is on the next 10 years or more of IU basketball, not the next 10 hours of a coaching search. Obviously, if something wild happens, IU has the ability to shift course at any point in time and make a beeline for someone. At this point in time, we’re told IU wants a more thoughtful, thorough process that includes letting Parker do background on a number of candidates. No contract offers have been made. There are no secret deals with any coaching candidate. As Brian Snow reported in his note earlier today, Indiana athletic director Fred Glass is following through on his promise to reach out to basketball people in this state and get their feedback, and he is doing it personally. So, again, Indiana is in the information gathering stage, as things stand right now, and will proceed from there.

Guys --- I don't mean to worry you but .... well i was looking at the Bloomington airport scheduled departures and (don't shoot the messenger here but ...) well there's a flight headed to Houston today .... that's it ... Kelvin Sampson is the next IUBB coach .... that's a bit surprising ....

Today's Coaching Hot Board (listed in order of probability) according to Peegs .. basically Chris Collins moved up and Donovan fell 3 spots ..... Why is Mike Woodson even on this list????? 1) Steve Alford 2) Tony Bennett 3) Chris Collins 4) Chris Mack 5) Archie Miller 6) Billy Donovan 7) Sean Miller 8) Bryce Drew 9) Chris Holtman 10) Dane Fife 11) Mike Woodson (WTF?) 12) Greg Marshall 13) Mike White

if it were Marshall, don't you think it'd be done by now? They've had 3 days to announce after his loss...

It's gonna be #12 ... Not that I am cheering for that... But we'll get our coach 1-2 days after UCLA's final game of the season.

The guys are having some fun with it

WTH does this mean??

Not NEAR as much fun...

Pictures or it didn't happen! :) just kidding ... if nothing else, this rumor will keep this thread going for a couple hours! This is fun huh? What are we going to do once they name the coach? Man, I don't even wanna think of a life without coaching rumors ...... how dull!

Yes we'd be ecstatic ... because he's a GREAT coach!

Why do you need more perspective? The point is, being an alumnus of any given school doesn't make you qualified to win national championships at that school .....it doesn't take a famous former player to make the program click again .... it didn't with Kansas, Duke, Kentucky, Florida, Louisville, or even Indiana during that time frame ... it took a great coach, which #12 is not .....

Especially after Glass says "resources will not be an issue"

He'd argue that was a bogus call

My mistake

Reports I saw said he reached out to them.... I'll check for that report.

What's that say about Crean? If he's such a great coach, why didn't LSU jump at the chance to get him once Crean reached out? Glass made the right choice.

Has there been any more movement on LSU or any other school for Crean? Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners mobile app

I hadn't heard (other than assumptions and speculation) that he was entering ... I figured he would but hadn't heard from any sources like the Janitor yet...
