This is not directed towards the mods....

I'd like to get back to having fun reading posts about IU basketball....for any of you wanting to police the functioning of the board, please go apply for a job in the athletic compliance office and use your talents for something more important than a free message board.

He didn't say anything about agreeing with group think... You were complaining about how the mods police the board, and he simply told you to take a hike if you don't like how it's managed. The mods are super open to disagreements during my experience here...

Just so everyone knows, I'm thinking about starting a thread to discuss off-topic posts in threads and how annoying they are....

The crazy thing is....there are people that would be upset with hiring Brad Stevens because he hasn't been coaching for a while, and he forgot how to do it...

March 2nd....don't you remember?

But it is a coaching candidate thread...

I'm personally looking forward to his next update...I find it fairly entertaining.

I don't disagree. Plus, I don't think IU would protect him like Kansas has done from a compliance standpoint, and he knows that.

No....sounds like most would rather have Cryin Cronin...

I don't know...I feel like you gain nothing by calling the fans out. You say thing like "our fans have the same expectations we do, to win and finish games, and we didn't do that today" or "we need to continue to keep our intensity high so that our fans keep their energy high." It's almost like you have to coach the fans by telling them what you expect out of your team.

He most likely isn't right on this, but with that level of confidence, would you play poker with the guy? I sure wouldn't...

I love that this is posted with clear confidence....right or wrong, he has put himself out there. Well done Isaac. There is a deadline now on your credibility, and I hope to be celebrating with you. Go big or go home...

At first I was not a fan of even suggesting Cronin...but I'm coming around on it. I don't love it, but I don't hate it now either. Polar opposite from Woodson with regard to pretty much everything, so that would be a good start....

As long as we don't hang our next championship banner upside-down....

If we don't target someone better than what Crean did, then they aren't worth going after. Otherwise, just hire him back and see what he can do with NIL in place. At least we know he loves the place and will work his tail off.

TheDMV has to be bobknightsghost just trying to prove a point that he can get anyone to believe anything by just coming on here and stating something as fact.

I agree as well, but it also depends on how he chooses to use his faith. Not to get into a faith based discussion at all but some Christians feel called to be around like-minded people to share in fellowship, some Christians feel called to be out sharing their faith with others in places that are not cut from the same cloth as them, others feel called to a mix of both. It would all depend on where his family feels that should be after taking onto consideration their prayer life and calling. I could see him saying "no way" but I could also see him seeing IU and Bloomington as a place where he maybe see as a community where he could impact with his faith. No idea...

Think his agent is putting his name out there to position him for a raise or do you think he would really have interest in the IU job?

When I brought him up yesterday, everyone wanted to continue to slobber over Cronin...

Totally agree. Would love that hire!

I agree and am intriguedby that one ad well! But I think that was said by an insider. Apparently others here tell me I shouldn't believe them...

Just offer Dusty May $10 million to stop coaching his team right now and come be the video coordinator at IU until Woodson retires (because we can't hurt his feelings). Then promote Dusty with his blockbuster contract. Of course the terms of the contract would be agreed upon and signed when he comes over as the highest paid video coordinator in history.

I would love to get a guy like Bill Self. However, I doubt he ever leaves Kansas for IU for nothing else but for how we handled KS and his recruiting scandal. IU would never protect Bill Self the way Kansas has, and he knows it.

I love this...so entertaining! No matter what happens, no matter who ends up being the coach, I still have to get up and go to work every morning. It literally makes no difference to me who the coach is. I just love the drama and fun that these coaching searches provide! Bring on the info! Thanks for sharing to those that do!
