Is the Janitor a he or a she? The world may never know. But this was the exchange on Twitter fwiw.

Tonagel has been really successful at the NAIA level in Indiana as well. It would be a great staff.

That would be an absolute haul.

I appreciate your opinion but you're WRONG! Donovan is in the same sentence as K, Izzo, Pitino, Cal, Roy, Self and Boeheim. I would put him ahead of Stevens right now to because of the championships but their both pretty close to each other. Donovan is also younger than everyone I mentioned except Stevens. So he still has time to win plenty of games in the future.

Most players at IU, Illinois, NC State and other schools will wait to see who the new coach is going to be and how that coach plans to use them in their system. No to mention Glass said that the players wouldn't be bask from spring break until Sunday when he had scheduled to meet with them.

Mile also said this about Alford as well "Alford sewed the seeds of discontent as a player at IU. Fans and friends of the program at that time have not forgotten. Too bad for Steve, is that not only have they not forgotten, but now those fans and friends have gone on to become trustees, now former trustees, and boosters with considerable influence. Once an IU fan. Always an IU fan. Unfortunately for Steve, some of those fans are now in a position to sway some important heads. Once again.... follow the money."

Mile on 247 just said he is working on a confirmation but he heard last night that Alford has been eliminated from contention for the IU job.

I know they are the worst kind of fans because they are both arrogant and stupid.

I just got done reading some stuff over on Rupp Rafters and wow do I feel stupid after reading some of those hill jacks posts. They think it is so impossible that we could land someone like Donovan.

I agree with what your saying and there's a chance he could replace Izzo at some point but money talks.

Why do I have a feeling that Dane Fife is going to get a sizeable raise to be Indiana's Associate Head Coach regardless of who the head coach ends up being.

DD had a high school coach from the same conference as New Albany call in today. That coach said that NA coach Shannon told him that Crean wasn't even in the top ten coaches that have been contacting Romeo the most. That right there is a good reason why he got fired and didn't do a good job recruiting the state of Indiana. That coach from southern Indiana agreed that the next coach should be an Indiana guy that looks up the in state recruiting and builds relationships with Indiana high school and AAU coaches fwiw.

I wouldn't worry to much.

This guy is being very adamant about Donovan. So I really hope that he is right. At this point I really don't want anyone not named Brad or Billy.

I heard from a kid a couple years ago that was being recruited by several power 5 schools including IU that the rumor was that in Stevens initial contract with the Celtics he had an opt out clause just for Indiana because it was his dream job at the time. Just curious if anyone else had ever heard this?

Let's be honest Billy, Steve or anyone else that says they don't have any interest besides maybe Stevens is more than likely lying. How many times do we here coaches at things like they did and a week later they are coaching someplace else. Let's be honest almost everyone in the coaching world has a price. If you are willing to pay it then you have your new coach.

Yeah that is what Dan said.

Dakich just said that he is sure Billy Donovan will want the IU job. He also said that he will probably get a call from Donovan within the next day or so.

A lot of people are talking about Billy Donovan coming to IU on twitter. Make it happen Fred.

What if the board of trustees led by Quinn Buckner who covers the Pacers has been the ones that have been talking to Donovan. Buckner would have the connections to do it.

True but if they make a deep Tourney run next year that can be a program changer because Missouri is home to several talented basketball players.

Can we hire the Missouri AD that dude is looking like a genius right now.

That was fast but Porter's dad was a Woman's coach there and I'm pretty sure he has a daughter or two that still plays there.

There probably going to be some good info or rumors come out over the next 3 hours because I am going to be playing basketball and unable to keep up with what's going on in the threads.
