    Right. If we're going to take one of the out of work coaches out rather have Matta than Beilein. If he's healthy enough he could be the coach for 15-20 years.

    Regarding #7, IU may not have to pay the new coach's buyout. One of the donors has pledged to cover the transition costs. That may include the buyout.

    Looks like also @madmax and @IU Scott. I'm pretty sure I've seen a few more newcomers whose names I recognize from HSN.

    I think some are making too big of a deal about Stevens using past tense to talk about his time so far with the Celtics. How else is he supposed to refer to the last 8 years? He also used present tense, "I am the Celtics coach" or something along those lines. That said, he didn't talk about the future. At all. In 2017, he did. And he does seem to be considering it just from his rambling answer without an absolute, no more questions asked denial.

    Of the names being thrown around, he's pretty low on the list of those I want. So I agree that he would be disappointing. He's very old so only a short term solution. System coach who has taken several years at each stop to have consistently good teams. He's not coaching now and that likely won't change between now and the end of the NCAAT when other coaches will be available, so no reason to rush hiring him. Then there's his comments at Cleveland which may affect recruiting. There's at least 5 others I'd want before him.

    At this point, I'm not sure he can control that. He'd probably trash the head coach (himself) out of habit.

    NCAA MBB Transfer Portal

    I think Nebraska has a bot set up monitoring the transfer portal that automatically contacts any player that appears on it. It seems they contact every transfer and are one of the first schools to do so. Nice list for Durham, though. Maybe he wasn't as bad as some fans like to say. I wish him good luck.

    That's kind of my take on Beard, as well. Plus, I've read from people that have watched way more of TT than I have that his offense isn't great. I think he's be an upgrade from Miller (not hard) but I don't know if he is the answer that would have everyone happy in 5 years or so.

    Which was yesterday. The site has been down since ~11 or 12 MST (1-2 PM EST) yesterday. Sometimes that server has issues with too much traffic but this isn't that. There is another issue. I hope they figure it out soon.

    Error EX144. Looks like a corrupted database. It's been down since yesterday.
