go iu bb

First Pluto, now this.

That's if they fire him. The buyout he pays to the school if he leaves is only 20% of the remaining contract (as opposed to 50% to him for getting fired) which comes out to $3.3M. I wish it was $8M if he left. I still think $3.3M is too much to pay for him but I could see IU doing that. https://www.greenvilleonline.com/story/sports/college/clemson/2025/03/12/clemson-basketball-brad-brownell-indiana-coach/81946546007/

It's not different. Seeing things as smokescreens is just a form of denial. It's basically saying "fake news!" any time the information doesn't align with their wishes. It lets people hold out the hope for their preferred candidate or that the candidate they don't want won't be it. There's probably plenty of inaccurate information going around, but I very much doubt that's intentional.

Unless it's his buddy Brad Stevens.... what a twist in this drama. Spoiler: It's not him.

Talk to the mods, they'll get you a refund since you're not pleased with the product. Thanks for contributing this gem of insight into the coaching search.

No done deal for Brad to IU. Brad to IU is just done.

Man, I never could have imagined a day where I'd be rooting for IU to make the NCAAT more because it would end their season sooner than not making it than just because I want them to make it. Crazy days.

IU is hiring Gates, Stevens to Missouri?

I'm thinking Woodson won't be the coach in the likely case that IU has to play in the Crown. It'll probably be one of the assistants as an interim.

I would give him a very unenthusiastic chance. To me, it would signal that IU is very okay with being mediocre so I would be even less invested in the team than I currently am. I'd probably just check scores after the fact and watch 1 or 2 games the first year. If I couldn't watch a game, I probably wouldn't bother to have live updates on my phone like I do now. Then if it looks like it was actually a good hire, I'd start to come back but it would be slow.

Probably because you have gone after others for their grammar in the past and not as a joke. It's par for the course with you. Periods almost always go inside the quotation marks in the US.

Even Turgeon wouldn't be as bad as the Woodson hire.

Remember, kids, KwaC is whack.

KwaC is back.

Not only do I not believe that that poster is in the know, I don't believe they're even female. I agree on the unmarried part.

Getting this thread warmed up in case Dolson hires someone like Brownell.

Which means they also average a 32 game season which is just regular season plus 1 game in the B1GT. Yikes.

When you see Craig play for IU in the Crown Tournament you'll forget all about McNeeley.

I'm curious where this was from. The bolded makes me happy.

If he's the one who's hired and is successful, he could be IU's coach for 25 years. He could be the long term solution for IU.

I don't remember Bo Ryan a lot of highly ranked players yet he was able to win over 70% of his games at Wisconsin and make tournament runs. I don't follow UW closely so I may be remembering that incorrectly but that's how I remember them during his time - a bunch of 3 star and below players just killing it and pwning IU in the process. Maybe the occasional 4*.

Wait, we can recruit players from the NBA? We've been going about this all wrong.

I get that kind of quality insight while saving $3/month on paramount plus. What a win.

I don't know, hence my question about how long it takes to get players ready to play in the system. I'm not passing a judgement, I'm asking a question because I don't know the answer. Looking at Drake and saying not long doesn't prove it one way or another. Looking at their roster, they have a bunch of seniors. It might not take long since good coaches tend to be good teachers, after all, or it might take a year or two. Probably no one on this board knows the answer, which is fine. Why would anyone here have paid too much attention to him at the D2 level?

He brought a bunch of players that had been in his system with him. That helped a ton.
