Hickory was also the first to then say there was a 99% chance Crean is fired on Thursday by 5 o'clock, and it happened.

Yep, holding out hope that Hickory is hearing Billy Donovan stuff now.

And apparently there are some national media people that are beginning to include Billy Donovan in the list of potential candidates, that may not be a coincidence.

Many on the 247 board have been skeptical of him, but he hasn't wavered, and now 0708 and mile are hearing similar things about IU and Donovan, so he may be legit, I hope so. However, if he's wrong, and we get Marshall or Archie, I'd be okay.

Are you being serious?

0708 is beginning to hear some of the same stuff BtownInsider has been reporting about Billy Donovan, and he's getting giddy, it may actually be happening.

To me you go for the proven winner, the fit can get tossed out the window for all I care, trying to get the fit will hamstring the coaching search. Winners needed in order to change the mediocrity we've become.

I get it, sarcasm, with a hint of truth behind it.

It was in regards to the money pool for assistants, meaning the assistant coaches will get paid.

Hmmm. Looks like a troll. Sounds like a troll. Smells like a troll. Must be a troll. I'm guessing you'll be butt hurt when Billy Donovan is announced as IU's next coach.

You need better sources.

Said someone named G8trs.

Seth Greenburg is an idiot. On Mike and Mike this morning IU coaching search was the topic, and Seth was saying it's obvious Alford is the guy, which it's not, but that's not my biggest gripe. They asked about selling points for IU, of course the tradition, and recruiting the state of Indiana were a couple key points, but Seth goes on to say that IU's facilities are only fair, not as nice as many of the elite programs. Fair? Fair? Seriously?

I agree, he's probably thinking of Billy Donovan, but some of what Fred said made me think that they may take another run at Brad Stevens. Very likely it won't work, but I think they at least try now that we officially have a job opening.

Agreed, i kind of felt ashamed for some of the bad things i said about Fred.

A lot of close games today, but not really any upsets. Hopefully that changes with the night games.

I think rhey can, too.

Vanderbilt got dumb in the final seconds, blew a chance to win.

Fred?

I always admired Mike Davis, and how he conducted himself...except for the time he ran on the court...oh, and when he mysteriously missed a game due to "sickness", but otherwise he was a good guy. Glad to see him having success, I'm sure Crean will find success at his next stop, too.

So I guess this thread isn't going to make it to 2000 pages?

He changed his tune this morning shortly before it was announced.

I am not going to get my hopes up about Billy Donovan, but someone said Dakich just mentioned BD would be interested.

Agreed. I said the same thing to my wife, and she said make up your mind was he a good coach or a bad coach? Lol.

Yes, he gone! I thought maybe we broke BTB. Here's the Indy Star article. http://www.indystar.com/story/sports/college/indiana/2017/03/16/iu-fires-tom-crean/98978332/
