I think that's true, except for this: Don't you think that if we get past the Final Four and we still haven't named a coach, that it will be so obvious that Donovan is who we are going after, it will be even more of a distraction?

I think you are right - there are select few who actually know anything. IMO, if Donovan were going to happen, it would happen now, while they have a long layoff between games. If it doesn't happen today or tomorrow, I think that ship has sailed. Merely my opinion.

This has to be true. Look how big it is. That's a dead giveaway...

Yeah, but Bob knght was hired after we finished like 8th or 9th in th... Oh, never mind.

My source says the self-imposed gag order will allow them to say they knew, but just weren't allowed to tell.

Sweet! Another candidate!!!

He's the only NBA coach with no head coaching experience.

You'd think Tyronn Lue would have at least got a mention.

He seems kind of young. I don't think he has enough experience.

He meant 2113. It's Sean Miller III.

Maybe some day we look back and say, "Wow, we could have had Dane Fife back in 2017" but there's no way you can take a chance like that at a critical time like this.

Seems like a pretty short discussion.

I had a thought about Alford this morning as I was driving to work: It seems to me, that if you look at his 20 year career record and trajectory, it is exactly the type of record that everyone is afraid a young, unproven guy like Archie or Holtmann, etc. will end up with. If you would not be happy with one of those guys having that type of record at IU for the next 10-20 years, why would we hire someone who has 20 years of evidence. I get all of the arguments about the places he has coached, but it seems to me that the really good coaches elevate their programs to a different status.

I agree. The tone of the press conference sold me on that. You don't make those kinds of statements if you think you are settling for you 5th or 6th choice.

I saw this picture and immediately thought of Bill Murray standing at a golf ball washer. "You little minx, you wore black today trying to hide from me."

I would say that list is pretty close to mine as well. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Same here. He hasn't really shown as much as Crean when we hired him. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

The IF is what I'm not convinced of. There were plenty of rumors that he was not happy in the NBA before this job was even in play. Of course you are going to say you love your present employer. Not say I believe he is coming, but I really don't believe he is totally happy at OKC.

I'll say it again - If this is Glass's decision, I'm pretty convinced very few people will actually know anything until he wants it to be known.

Ha! That's a good one. That guy has too many skeletons in his closet. No way we try another of those.

I was wondering that myself. Will he be the next Butler coach we kick ourselves for not going after? Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

I'm thinking we'll end up with someone else altogether. If you think about it, it was pretty amazing how few people actually knew about Crean being fired. If this is left up to Glass, and I'm not totally sure it is, I bet select few actually really know what is going on. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app
