To anyone thinking the buyout plays a role... http://threeriverslaw.com/2015/03/how-to-read-a-contract-or-the-buyout-of-tom-crean/

You're toe-ing a line here man. No need to insult people like this because of their feelings on this topic

I don't think anyone is fixated on Bob Knight. They're fixated on winning how and as much as Bob did. The problem is he's like one of the top 5 winningest coaches so its an awful lot to ask to even be close to that. 

The powers that be can't be happy right now. I don't care what is said publicly. I think Glass likes Crean and wants to stand by his guy, but he's going to (in my mind) get a proposition. Either get rid of Crean this year and save his own job, or put his faith behind Crean for another year and succeed or fail with him. My bet is Glass cuts the tie, speaks highly of Crean so he can find a nice new home.    I actually think a lot depends actually on how much pressure the BOT and Glass gets via email, phone call, and at the MSU game. I will be watching to see the crowd reaction when Crean is announced in the pre game, throughout the game, and after the game. 

I want Chuck retained at least for one year for the sake of Bryant... Assuming the new guy doesn't have a better lead recruiter/track on a good big man that is haha

I don't know specifically whats been deleted but for example, posters can't copy and paste straight from peegs or pay for sites. And if a poster were to come in claiming they have a source, or they heard "x" from "so and so" people in the administration wouldn't like that. I'm guessing bball4iu likes his closeness to the program and thats why he doesn't muse on topics like this. The admin doesn't like "leaks" or rumors, that may or not be true

Why don't people like Nike? Unethical business practices? Their current clients? Legitimately curious

I feel like you can't read too far into Glass' quotes. Its "politically correct" "professional courtesy" whatever term you want to use that fits that mold

Not descent. Just certain information that can't be posted on public boards and the like, if I am correct. Though I'm certainly not as knowledgeable about it as 41 or the original mods on the site

I hope a new coach could retain Chuck

Wouldn't read too much into political speech

I just don't find him to be elite. He's certainly better than Crean, but I couldn't see him bringing a championship to IU 

Thad Matta? No thanks

I could see Rojo transferring. Yeah he's good, but he's looking like a 3 or 4 year player. If he doesn't like the new coach, theres plenty of big time programs that would gladly take him on. 

I don't like the designs of UA, I don't like the fit of UA. ANYTHING but UA

I think he is referring to get Bob's opinion on who should be our next coach. 

Assembly Hall is one of my favorite places to watch a basketball game because you can easily get wrapped up in the aura of it.    But really, the view is awful from most seats IMO. I don't know where I stand on the idea of a new stadium, but I'm hoping a 40M face lift improves things

Thanks! I'd like to see how Archie can recruit at a school like IU. He seems to be doing fine numbers wise at Dayton but for the current class they're mostly unheralded 3 star kids. Doesn't matter since he's putting out a winning product though

I've gone a little foggy on some things since its been a while since I've intensely followed basketball recruiting. Is it similar to football recruiting in that when a coaching change happens its not uncommon for them to bring recruits from their previous school to their new one? How binding is the LOI really?

Cut the back and forth out fellas. If you need to duke it out do it over PM, not in the threads

I agree JBJ will probably come back. Thats definitely better than 50/50. Troy however, I could definitely see going. The new coach also may not ask back certain players/players may not see eye to eye on new philosophies... I could see us bringing back (if we make the right hire)    JBJ RoJo Hoetzel Holt Davis Zeisloft Parea Fuchs April   However, I also assume we may be saying good bye to OG and Morgan? Hoping the new coach could bring in some bigs or we will just go into next year with the same issues as this year minus Yogi and Troy

Lets think if we get a new coach... who stays and who goes...   JBJ- 50/50  Zeisloft- 50/50 Hoetzel- transfer IMO but could be 50/50 Rojo- 50/50 Troy- gone Yogi- Gone Hanner- 50/50 IMO but could be gone Devin Davis- back Fuchs- back Stan rob- gone Holt- back IMO could be 50/50 Hartman- back Priller- gone April- gone

I think its delusional to consider it realistic that Stevens will leave. That may be a good match, but its a match made in heaven and not on this earth. Celtics have a lot of upside and when they invested in Stevens they knew it would be a long ride. I think we will reach out through back channels and give it a 5% possibility on the off chance his family misses Indiana.    After thinking more heavily about it I would like:    Donovan  Archie Miller  Maybe Marshall but not so high on him   I don't think Hoiberg is realistic, I don't see us pulling Bennett but would like to reach out to him.   I think we would regret not getting Archie Miller if we don't land him. He doesn't get talked about a lot but he is doing fantastic work at Dayton. I would be elated with that hire   And I would like to point out I think it very likely Crean gets canned this year if we can get any of these guys. "It's Indiana" and the money will be there. The atmosphere in Assembly Hall turned down right hostile. Old men booing, middle aged men yelling insults at Crean, college kids cursing and leaving early. I mean, there are talks about boycotting and protesting among students

I would think it would be doable. He's flirted before and bolted to the magic for a brief moment

Say we can't lure any of those 3... How would you like us to proceed? Just honest curiosity because I don't know how I would like it to go
