General Coach Candidate News
Hippopotamo replied to JaybobHoosier's topic in Indiana Men's Basketball
Dolson has earned the benefit of the doubt. He got rid of Archie without any department funds, and has been extremely professional in this search so far. -

I honestly don’t care anymore who the coach is (besides alford). I’m ready to support whoever it is and hope the future is brighter. -

If Arkansas matches the offer he might stay. -

So irresponsible of that bartender! -

It’s pretty impressive seeing how quiet this search has really been. Dolson is doing a good job in my opinion. -

I don’t see Billy Donovan leaving Chicago during his 1st season. -

I always start laughing when IU fans suggest coaches that are on the hot seat at another school. Mike White would be a terrible hire. -
Those Grizzlies teams were pretty special. He can also mention the insane amounts of money Conley has earned in the NBA. If that doesn’t work, he can mention how he coached Greg Oden into the #1 pick. Or he can talk about coaching Evan Turner, D’Angelo Russell, or even Jared Sullinger. Matta isn’t my first choice at all but he’s not that far removed from coaching at an incredibly high level.

I’m getting to the point where I’m just going to wait and see who IU hires. Too many names involved, too many rumors and it’s getting exhausting. -

If your wife doesn’t want to live somewhere it’s not going to happen. Trust me. -
Good thing Eastern Washington didn’t pull off the upset today! Otherwise according to Goodman we would’ve had to hire their coach.

Candidate Thread: Chris Beard (Texas Tech)
Hippopotamo replied to Hovadipo's topic in Indiana Men's Basketball
I really want Beard. I think he’s almost a perfect fit at IU and would be great if we could snag him. -
Candidate Thread: Brad Stevens (Boston Celtics)
Hippopotamo replied to Hovadipo's topic in Indiana Men's Basketball
None of the insiders owe us anything. I really enjoy the free info, and crapping on these guys for sharing info makes no sense to me. Just don’t pay attention if it bothers you that much. -
WCBB is just such a different style game. Recruiting and roster management are also different. I can’t think of anyone who has successfully done both.

I don’t think she has the coaching pedigree yet, plus she’s never coached college on any level. This wouldn’t really make sense to me at all.

Not sure I want Mack either but I’m confused as how he’s just like Archie. -

We keep seeing Stevens was 1A, Beard is 1B, and Beilein is the fallback option. I like where we stand. -
Candidate Thread: Brad Stevens (Boston Celtics)

One of my favorites -
I really think Beard is the guy. He understands the IU history, he was an assistant for Knight, he’s had tournament success, and he has the charisma to lead a program as demanding as Indiana.

You don’t pay a $10 million buyout to end up with Fife. Go get Beard.

Candidate Thread: Nate Oats (Alabama)
Hippopotamo replied to Hovadipo's topic in Indiana Men's Basketball
He’s a great coach, but I don’t think he’s realistic due to his buyout and the fact that Alabama would match any offer. -
Chris Beard for me.

Hippopotamo replied to Hovadipo's topic in Indiana Men's Basketball
Lots of entitlement in this thread. People provide free info that ends up not working out perfectly and they get attacked. I don’t blame these guys for not wanting to share what they hear anymore. We’re all fans of the same team and I’m looking forward to seeing who ends up leading the program.
