Ghost of Rick Majerus

No doubt Ainge would be well aware of the situation.

Just did a twitter search for Brad Stevens. How can IU's fan base "cannibalize" itself any worse than Celtics fans?

Haha me either

This video has made me giggly. We are either going to be beyond the moon ecstatic or depressingly soul crushed as a fan base. Either way, it's going to be interesting. Come home Mr. Stevens.

Mainly due to the fact that Beilien jumped ship on Michigan because he was "frustrated with the nature of college basketball."

You are probably right, no way I would leave if I was him either. I just always really liked him and if age is not a factor, then I would rather give him a chance. But why would he leave his current gig?

Oh my bad, I guess I will keep my expectations reasonable like everyone else on this thread. :)

If IU is going to hire somebody in the sunset of their career like Beilein, I'd rather see them go after Leonard Hamilton.

Denny Crum is alive and available.

Thanks for the info. I just can't understand the "appeal" for him.

One name I hear people talk about that I just would not be happy with is Andy Enfield. Am I missing something? Since he coaches a West Coast team I haven't watched them play so I really don't know much about him other than the few games I saw when he coached at Florida Gulf Coast.

All of us are in the same boat.

Good point! Me too!

Would you rather take your time and get the big fish and in turn miss out on a few transfers or Hire quickly, get some transfers and risk hiring Archie 2.0

Probably so, but has always been on my want list. He is the best coach in college basketball in my humble opinion.

He was my favorite player as a kid.

I kid, of course. It's just nice to be able to have fun thinking about the future of this team again. I've been miserable the last few years and it's refreshing to see a light at the end of the tunnel.

Home run hires for me consist of 3 names. 1) Brad Stevens 2) Jay Wright 3) Chris Beard

I have it on good authority that one meeting has already occurred between Dolson and Penny Hardaway and another meeting to iron out the details of the deal is expected tomorrow.

I could not agree more with this statement. I totally understand if you want a change in direction, but I do not understand the hatred and nastiness I see toward Coach Crean in this thread. The man has worked incredibly hard the last 9 years(albiet with mixed results) and he does not deserve the general disdain/hostility he gets from people in this thread. Come on guys, we are not UK fans, we are better than this.

I'm getting reports from all over campus that Larry Brown has been seen with Fred Glass tonight.
