go iu bb

A whole lot more people would support almost any other coach than would support Beard. Beard would fracture the fanbase the way others wouldn't. Lots of people would be unhappy with some of the other names on the list but not to the same extent that they would be with Beard. I agree...Beard would win and win big. Based on what? He's won only about 54% of his P4 conference games. That's winning big? If he didn't have a connection to Knight, people wouldn't be so high on him. Beard isn't going to happen.

I just hope IU doesn't go cheap after Stevens said no. Dolson reportedly had $9M+/year lined up to throw at Stevens. Some of that may have been promised only for Stevens but I hope there was plenty that would be available for another quality coach. My fear is that we end up with a risky coach that is hired for $3-4M/year. I want them to spend $6-7M to get someone that is a known winner at the P5 level.

Everyone is now trying to figure out if it was a concussion grenade or a frag grenade. Goodman is claiming it's a frag grenade without showing evidence of that and the rest of the media are running with that.

He grew up in Texas, went to college in Texas, and his entire coaching career except 1 year has been in Texas. That 1 year, he went all the way to Arkansas. That said, he's very high on my list and I hope Dolson tries to get him away from Texas. The guy is a winner. He's also making only $2.9M/year. IU can offer significantly more than that.

Probably because Woodson was actually fired and everyone knows it? The IU press release that Woodson decided to retire didn't fool many.

Sometimes 1+1=10. It's about perspective, so what's wrong if some people view Stevens as a possibility? How does that affect you?

Money laundering? Do you even know what that is because that makes no sense?

Yet he was surprised that he was retiring. Clueless

McGollum, err, McCollum

He was already ignoring his off the court media responsibilities as well as his recruiting responsibilities. Not much has changed except that even he now knows he won't be the coach at IU next year.

Beard is as unrealistic as Stevens was. It's just not going to happen.

You'd rather eat **** then hire him? Kind of strange to me but whatever floats your boat, I guess.

He's my #2. I'd be very happy If Dolson could pull him out of Texas.

"Not a candidate" because he's already accepted the job as the next coach. Not lying but throws everyone off the scent. JK. Does May want to be the next coach at IU or not? That is the question. I guess we'll find out in a month and a half.

You forgot: BTB in 2021 after Woodson accepts the job: "What in the actual f--k is Dolson talking about? Ugh, he wasn't joking."

I think it was that big. If only it was foam...

Wait, you didn't get a prostate exam as part of your background check!? I thought there was something odd about that...

You need your eyes checked. McCollum looks more like Gollum than he looks like Colin Farrell.

Except for Beard, I like this list. The order of the top 4 really works for me.

Yes, what IU needs after the last 2 hires is a known not a gamble.

You should've stopped at the line. You apologize for being a dick then start acting like a dick again immediately by throwing out insults in the same post. Apology fail. This isn't the only IU message board. Maybe you'd be happier on one of the other ones since I don't think this one is for you.

I'm coming around on him, he's having a really good year. UM has improved greatly under him compared to last season so he's proving it after his jump to P4. On kenpom, has both the offense and defense in the top 25. I would like to see his team take better care of the ball. There is still some risk since he doesn't have a long track record of sustaining success at the B1G level but I think that is a risk worth taking. Some think that he won't leave UM after a year but I think he would. His buyout for leaving is pretty low at $5M, soon going to $4M. That is something that he or his agent had to fight to get. That shows that he might be open to leaving for IU. However, some reports last year said that he didn't want the fishbowl of UL. If that was too much for him, would he want to go to IU which is just as bad?

So talk about those guys. Start with what you like or don't like about them and why you think they'd be successful, which you will prefer or think will actually be the coach, etc. People will respond. We have talked about coaches other than Stevens. You're allowed to start the conversation.

Women add a distance recruit. Looks like a development/depth recruit at this time. Comes from a swimming family. https://swimswam.com/zoe-de-fabrique-daughter-of-french-olympian-and-ncaa-champion-headed-to-indiana-for-2026/

Yeah, I read the whole thing after I posted and edited the post to remove that line but you were already replying, I guess. I didn't see them define "an extended period of time" though. Definitely won't get it if it's only a few days even though you're paying for those channels for those days. I do expect that it'll only be a few days, maybe a week. We've seen this before.
