Bilas is a moron. UCLA rattled off 7 straight wins after Cronin made those comments.

Strap Purl might work if he wants to get into coaching.

I expect a Tweet from Goodman, Davis, etc any day now confirming that Dusty has signed a new deal with UM with a $15-20M buyout. It’s coming.

The Hunter Dickinson effect.

Apparently Bill Self isn’t either even if he had interest. Some of our fans are nuts.

I’d call $Bill and see if he wants a change of scenery. Seemed pretty checked out last night.

People are always harp about Cronins ceiling not being good enough. How do we know that? He’s about the same age Sampson was when we hired him I believe. Was Sampson’s record at WSU and Oklahoma much different than Cronin’s at Cincy and UCLA?

This has to be comedy. Not funny.

He’s a Butler grad and spend about half his life living in Indiana. I’ve heard from people that know him over the years that if he were to ever leave Baylor that IU would be one of the very few, maybe the only job, that he would seriously consider. A lot like Pearl. Just feels a special connection to the state. That said, I expect he’ll stay in Waco.

And for every Oladipo or Anunoby it seemed like there multiple Prillers or Grant Gelons. I’m all for trying to find diamonds in the rough but some of the guys he offered were completely mystifying.

That’s obviously what we should’ve done after last season. But this is Indiana University and we have a process here. Can’t hurt anyone’s feelings. There’s optics to worry about to.

Crean would have one decent year and then completely fall off the cliff the next. Cronin would provide much more stability. And Crean was going nowhere but down. He had burned every bridge in the state. Things were only going to get worse.

Highly doubtful. I think we already made sure of that because you know optics.

He supposedly has a high buyout but many seem to think UCLA would let him go for less. Doesn’t sound like he’s happy out there and is probably a bad fit personality wise for LA.

Tyme sure seems to think it will be Cronin. His comparison to Jay Wright at this point in their careers really isn’t far off.

They aren’t hiring Turgeon people.

I’d rather hire Alford.

The Herbert/Sampson/Greenspan fiasco should’ve been enough for any remotely competent AD at IU to know you always have to do what you know is right and let the chips fall where they may. But Dolson like Greenspan is a yes man.

Quinn blew it. Sorry.

Beard TT to UT

He’s a Midwest guy.
