Well said!!! Freaking Iowa, New Mexico, SW Missouri St......none are recruiting got beds. He's a Midwest guy, think that is the run for UCLA fans, he's not 'hollywood" enough for them. Sent from my LG-H810 using BtownBanners mobile app

This would be a grand slam, rock star hire that puts Indiana back in the spotlight nationally!!! Sent from my LG-H810 using BtownBanners mobile app

To his credit had to been hard to recruit kids to SW Missouri St., Iowa and New Mexico. I was a sophomore in high school when IU won in 1987 and drove from Terre Haute to go watch them play and especially Alford (Indiana kid, kept his mouth shut, played as an olympian, led team in scoring, etc.)? I guess I am just confused with the hate......What did Alford do to piss everyone on here? Was it because he got Luke Recker to Iowa and you've been unable to forgive him? Didn't he get SW Missouri St. to a couple of sweet sixteens, won 2 Mountain West Championships at New Mexico for God's sake, yeah at New Mexico. Nothing against New Mexico, but how do you win consistently at a place like New Mexico if your not a great recruiter or half of a coach? Is there something that Alford did that I may have missed besides backing Bobby Knight all these years? He would recruit the hell out of this state and I think a lot of high school coaches would have a great rapport with him.....just saying, off my soap box.

Izzo was tongue in cheek of course due to his age.........Fife is interesting due to some head coaching at IPFW and tutelage under Izzo, but not sure if he would 'move the needle'. Sent from my LG-H810 using BtownBanners mobile app

We need a high profile name or rock star and we need to pay for it. Someone who could rally the masses! Billy Donovan, Sean Miller, Tony Bennett, Jay Wright, Shaka Smart, Izzo, etc. Sent from my LG-H810 using BtownBanners mobile app

Good article........ Sent from my LG-H810 using BtownBanners mobile app

Everyone's thoughts on Quin Snyder and what he has done with the Utah Jazz.......know he was fired by Mizzou, but that when they were still in the Big 12. Sent from my LG-H810 using BtownBanners mobile app

Who's Mile?? Sent from my LG-H810 using BtownBanners mobile app

So are you thinking Bruce Pearl who is stuck at Auburn now????? Lol Sent from my LG-H810 using BtownBanners mobile app

Altman is 167-66 at Oregon which is mostly a football school who has to deal with Zona, UCLA, Cal.......Remember he was also the one that out Creighton on the map, so he has some Midwest ties. Scott Drew is another one doing it at a football school. Look what he has done at Baylor.........used to coach in Indiana (Valpo). Sent from my LG-H810 using BtownBanners mobile app

Love Sean Miller too but he just re-upped with Zona. Jay Wright is too George Clooney/East Coast for Bloomington, but would love to have him Sent from my LG-H810 using BtownBanners mobile app

Try to go after Billy Donovan at Oklahoma State......he went there hoping to have Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook, but KD is gone and they are currently sitting as the #7 seed. Rumors are he wants to return to college??? Worth throwing money at him.......No disrespect to Tom Crean, he pulled us out of the ashes, but 9 years it is time to a new voice.

Yeah saw this rumor posted on 2/12/17 by Ryan Phillips...... Sent from my LG-H810 using BtownBanners mobile app

There are few better people in college basketball than Tom Crean and he has an unbelievable work-ethic. No one can doubt either of those things. He truly cares about his players, the university and its fans, and has given his all for the program. He has done an amazing job bringing academics back as a focus of Indiana basketball, and his player development work has been among the best in the nation. But on the court his teams too often look lost and out of touch with one another. Developing on-court leadership and chemistry has been an issue for years and has kept several of his most talented teams from succeeding. Crean has done great things at Indiana and he was the right person to bring the program back from the depths. But now it’s clearly time for a new vision. While it will depress some Indiana fans,Brad Stevens is almost certainly not leaving the Boston Celtics, but rumors suggest Donovan might be looking to head back to college. He went to Oklahoma City for the opportunity to coach Kevin Durant andRussell Westbrook, and one of those guys is gone now. With Westbrook dominating the ball, any semblance of an offensive system has gone out the window and despite his dominant statistics, the Thunder currently sit in seventh place in the Western Conference. While the San Antonio Spurs and Golden State Warriors exist in their current forms, the Thunder have no shot at playing for a championship. Donovan has to be keenly aware of that fact. Money would be a big issue in any pursuit of Donovan. He’s currently making $6 million a year with the Thunder, which means Indiana would have to rely heavily on booster assistance to pony up the extra cash. Crean’s buyout is currently at a manageable $4 million, but if the Hoosiers wanted to chase an elite coach like Donovan, they’d need help. Indiana’s contract with Adidas is currently the 13th richest apparel deal in the NCAA, so there are dollars there, but not enough. The school’s deep-pocketed boosters would need to step up to land a guy like Donovan. Make no mistake, getting someone like Donovan will not be easy. But Indiana is one of the best brands in college basketball, the state is a fertile recruiting ground and the fan base is desperate to embrace a winner. And Donovan is a winner. His resume boasts two national titles, four Final Four trips, seven Elite Eights, and six SEC championships during his 19 seasons at Florida. After his first two rebuilding years, Donovan’s Gators only missed the NCAA Tournament three times in 17 campaigns, and they won 20 or more games in 16 of those 17 seasons. That’s while coaching at a football-first school with average facilities in Gainesville, Florida, which is far from an exciting destination. - Thebiglead.com Sent from my LG-H810 using BtownBanners mobile app
