MN2S has a lot of coaches including: Shaka Smart Bruce Pearl Chris Beard Greg McDermott

And 2 watching. Well, should be able to hear Brad talking then

No it didn't! Just kidding I think, kinda, sorta that it landed.

Who's going to put themselves through watching BC vs ND tonight to see if Brad is there? Oh wait....I know a guy. @Uspshoosier keep us posted

It was Rick a few days ago

Anyone arguing for Cronin and wondering why people wouldn't be thrilled.....go look at the poll. He is the 18th most favorable hire out of 20. Only ahead of Brownell and Shrews. So there's a reason most don't want to see him hired. I'd support him and think he'd do "fine" but I think we all want more than "fine".

After watching/listening to some IU people I'm starting to think Drew might be a real possibility. I just don't think it'll be Steven's because, come on. I also don't think it'll be May for multiple reasons including the fact IU is cutting ties with one of their own this year. Do they want to run the risk of "running 2 of their own out" in consecutive cycles? Idk anything but I'm trying to view this logically.

Just watched this. Man, it's so freaking refreshing listening to your HC and feeling absolutely confident he's got this ****.

ITH a long time ago. Have posted on HSN but pretty much just here now. Was rcs29 before I started using my bowling name that my brother gave me long ago. P.S. I am a very bad bowler in case you were wondering

Really good way to gauge the masses without the same few people making it seem as if the vibe is weighted one way or another.

I understand this sentiment, I really do. However, you want to know the best way to get a fan base united? Hang some damn bannners.

The more I think about this the more I want Beard. We're not hiring someone to teach a moral and ethics class. We're hiring someone to win basketball games. If he can keep his nose clean then it'll be 20 years of excellence. Imagine this time-line: we hire Dusty and in turn UM hires Beard. In the next 5 years IU continues to struggle and May is on the hot seat meanwhile UM has a final 4 and another 2nd weekend trip.

Just curious here. From the people you've spoken to, what's the word on Beard? Is he a no go or would he be seriously considered?

The 2 players I'd like to have back are out of eligibility. Good riddance to everyone else.

Saying a lot of great things about Woodson. Meanwhile, his team is shitting the bed.

FTR I'm fine with May. Not high on my list but I think he could do fine. BUT.....let's be honest here. It looks like at 3 a.m. he reached to the night stand to get his glasses, grabbed his wife's instead and then didn't realize it the rest of the day.

Yep look how many times I've posted......have yet to offer a damn thing here!

I think the confusion is because IU wants Woody to announce retirement and Woody is saying "fire me". He knows they don't want to "fire" him now or end of season if they can help it. Woody wants them to fire him for $ and so that he can use it as fire power and garner sympathy (in his mind) from a segment of the fan base/supporters. Dolson still has to play nice with people that supported Woody so that certainly plays a part in trying to make this as amicable an exit as possible.

IU/Butler/ND guy. Yeah he was certainly over the top. Still though

What's this board's deal with Luke Brown? What'd he do to anybody to warrant being the butt of so many jokes/off-handed comments? Leave the kid alone. Also given his ability to shoot I'd be willing to bet he'd be welcomed to our last 8 years of absolute misery in terms of shooting. I just don't get it.

The whole contemplating retiring thing is to try and make this look like he is going out on his own terms. If he wants to coach the rest of the season then he will. Now his desires may change after Saturday. And for my list of candidates: 1. Stevens (not gonna happen) 2. Beard 3. Pearl 4. Few 5. S. Drew 6. Calhoun

I'd argue he should be the top option. Lifer, great coach, great recruiter (top talent to Gonzaga) and so much tournament success. Only reason for him not be top option is he just turned 63 in December

While the topic of utilization issues has come up. Is there a way to respond to someone's post and not be pushed to the end of the que but go back to the place you were just at? Am I doing something wrong or is this a problem for everyone?

They're not going to fire a coach mid-season that played here. The only way they part before end of season is through a "mutual" agreement to retire, effective immediately.
