Wouldn’t that depend on which sitting coach IU went after. Kentucky took a big swing and missed however if they would have kept going that route they couldn’t have gotten one. They were comfortable with Pope and his ties to Kentucky

In your opinion

This one is getting interesting. Incarnate Word up 5 with 3 min to go

Pitt still down 16 with 12:50 to go. This would be a terrible loss for a bubble team

That was one of the best threads ever on this site. BT Banners Hall of Fame thread How long ago was that

Strong A.. down 3 at half at home to Prillers only D1 offer before IU offered

He was an Iowa St assistant for many years. Even left and went to another school as an assistant for a year before came back as the associate head coach before he left for South Dakota St

When you are watching a 9-14 Colgate take on a 8-13 Lehigh team on cbssports you know your are a hoops junkie. Love this thread

Patriot league action on a Monday

Big Mondays not what they use to be. Tuesday slates always kill it One big game Iowa St/Kansas some good mid major games though Charleston/William & Mary UAB/N Texas

IU in my opinion is still a top 10 job in the business despite the struggles for however long they have had them. Doesn’t matter who they hire this cycle. White Whale, Mid major coach, high level coach doesn’t matter IU will still be considered a top 10 job.

Whoever the coach is the bar is so low from what fans have expected the last 8 years it wouldn’t take much to gain those fans back. Make it to the second weekend in your first couple years and he would give IU fans something they haven’t experienced in a while. Crazy the lack of tourney success this program has had

IU still plays in the B1G conference. That alone will get coaches outside the SEC and B1G wanting a chance at a step up. IU has lots of positives that should bring in a really good coach. I’m worried about a lot of things but IU getting a coach that can turn this thing around isn’t one of them if the AD is allowed to go his job

IU can get whoever they want if they say yes. You don’t see many teams that have been down 30 years get the white whale. Plenty of big time coaches will say yes however you don’t see the Stevens, Donavans coming in on a white horse to save a program

I’ve said it multiple times over the years. That’s just my opinion. I just don’t get bent out of shape if others hope and talk about getting the white whales. Doesn’t effect me especially on a free message board

From an optics point of view yeah probably however IU as a program is a middle of the pack B1G team. Not many middle of the pack programs for 30 years plus gets a white whale. IU might have to grind a little bit before jumping into the top of the sport. Can’t skip steps and if the steps are lower coaches that what people want then that’s where the IU program is

He is a shark. absolutely one of the best recruiters in today’s game. Was Oats right hand man when they went to Bama.

After the last 8 years of coaching this fanbase has had to put up with pretty much every coach with a pulse deserves a mention. Even the 90 year old B1G studio analyst deserves a mention (only half joking, Beilein)

5 they just won a road game at Cincy today

No the coaches kid who was player of the in the MVC conference 2 years in a row

Safely in as of now

They are a projected 7 or 8 seed right now and have played without their best player for over a month

Oregon is good. They are just going through a little slump like every B1G team will do. They were good enough to beat Bama and A&M on a neutral court. These PAC 12 teams are not use to pretty much every team in the conference having a pulse. They had nights off in the PAC 12. No nights off in the B1G even if there isn’t a final 4 caliber team
