HoosierBoiler

I’m all in.... because if he doesn’t come dark days ahead probably.

This is where I’m at: 1.Stevens 2. Lewis or Dane 3.monkey riding a dog leaning towards #3 cause that would be enjoyable at halftime at least.

What was the exact day Indiana basketball died? This sucks and it has sucked for a long time. I do believe this hire is the last chance to bring us back.

I kinda thought this was in regards to Matta , it was like the next day the whole he was offered the job but failed physical came out . I may be totally wrong

Could Stevens be traded for draft pick?

I just figured it out...Ohio st. guy is back alley guru on peegs!

I just saw this too

I guess I don’t I just assumed they didn’t have a player development guy

Why didn’t Archie have more? Doesn’t make sense

Let’s just say it’s Keith Smart who’s his staff?

How many assistant coaches can you have? Serious question.

I appreciate your opinion, but he has been a assistant coach for a long time with some of the best coaches out there. I think he can handle it he will have several people there to help.

I say lo I say lock them all in a room with soap socks and see who wants it most

My 5 would be... 1.doesn’t run packline defense 2. when recruiting look for scorers that you can teach defense(not the other way around) try to score more than 60points a game. 3.Willing to move students next to floor and put names on jerseys etc. 4..Able to make in Game Coaching decisions, play a game that suits your players. Adapt if plan A doesn’t work 5.Understand that this is a tough conference....But WE ARE ******* INDIANA UNIVERSITY! Play like your the best and expect to win every game. (Would really go a long way if you had once bitten a Iowa player in a game or threw a ball off a guys face on a inbound play)

Just remember.....Brad Stevens was a assistant coach at Butler and his dream job was IU.

I think what most people that want a IU guy are trying to say is that they came through the program when it was a winner and think that they have emotional attachment to the program and maybe more invested in it to try to get it back there. Kinda like if you opened up a store and grew it up real nice and handed it off to your buddy to run and it started to go down hill, don’t you think you would be able to go back and get it going again?

1)who have they learned from?(hopefully learned from some good coaches) 2)give me evidence of success (examples from prior jobs) 3)How will you bring IU into modern basketball (new ideas) what kind of style will you be playing 4)Recruiting(relationship with in state coachesAAU etc/what is you 4 year plan?) 5) Why is IU different?

I keep hearing he’s not qualified or not worthy to be IU’s coach. Interested to hear if you were AD what are 5 requirements to qualify you for the job?

Just give Mike Lewis the job already! He has plenty of experience coached with some great coaches. (Knight/Stevens/Beard/Cronin)

I think he coached with beard under knight at TT for two years. Worked with some great coaches, gonna suck when he gets head coaching job someplace else.

I know that sucks! We all want the same thing trust me. All us old farts long for the past because it was fun to kick @$$! We will get there again

You would have had to be alive to see good IU basketball I guess to understand.

Blue blood programs usually hire a guy from their program to keep the culture going. We lost our culture a while back

This ...... Inferior candidates.....I don’t see Mike Lewis as inferior. It’s gonna take passion,heart,and a lot of other intangible things to get this program back.
