IU Scott

LOL! I have been a fan of IU longer and most on here has been alive. I know what great IU teams look like and what made those teams great. If we can't get guys like Stevens or Bennett or Beard then I would rather go with an IU guy over the next flavor of the month coach. Crean and Archie was considered very good hires who was up and coming and how did that work.

Amen but the young generation has no clue what patience is and what instand gratification

I guarantee I know a lot more about the history of IU basketball than you young guys.

He went to the championship game

the names from power 5 I see hasn't done it more than a couple of years in Musselman and Oats. Oats was 16-15 last year at Alabama so we are going to go off of one good season. We said Davis won with RMK players and a lot of Oats players were already at Alabama when Oats got there.

I guess some of you don't understand fit or culture and just because it didn't work one place doesn't mean it won't here.

63 is not old and there are probably 3 or 4 older than that has teams in the sweet 16

I would tell those players if they don't want to be at IU then don't let the door hit your a$$ on the way out. I knew after the Purdue game you would see Race name in the portal. when RP said they wanted to be able to beat Purdue for AL and Race because they never had beaten them. to me that sounded like he knew race wasn't coming back.

I am 50 and have seen what has worked at IU and what has not so I am in favor of trying what has worked again. I have seen what good basketball looks like and in college today isn't it

And the last 20 years IU went outside the IU family and it has not worked. So I am to the point why not go back to the philosophy that has worked in the past. We bring up names like Oats and Musselman as great hires but those two have only done it for a couple of years at a power 5 conference.

Who cares about age

Why is that and indication on IU because guys are happy where they are at. You even said it yourself that Musselman won't leave Arkansas because it is a good job. I bet UCLA fans wasn't thrilled with the Cronin hire but he has them in the sweet 16 in year 2. If it just about going to the highest bidder or the best programs Mark few wouldn't still be at Gonzaga.

Why don't you find another team to root for then if you are this unhappy with the program. Fans like you are the ones that give this fan base a bad name and why we are a laughing stock nationally. If you don't like leave and leave the actual IU fans to root for the team. We were always told to root for the name on the front of the jersey and not the back so I will do just that. Not to call you out but fans like you make me sick to my stomach and it embarrasses me that IU has fans like you.

Who cares what fans list looks like because it is not what matters. I think Dolson knows a lot more about a coaching search than you or anyone on here does. He has talked to people to gauge interest and probably knows who is interested and who does not. His list doesn't have to be what our list looks like and to say he must be down to the 5th coach on the list is not accurate.

If you were a GM of an NFL team would you have hired a coach with a 36-44 record in 5 years? Well the Patriots did and never looked back. You just don't look at results but look at fit and opportunity. You also look at what the talent level of the team was and see if that team improved over time.

I like watching the first scene where Hershey and Hackman is taking on the stairs. I see like 10 kids I went to school with coming down the stairs. I went to two days of filming but it was more rehearsal than anything.

Finally someone gets it

Didn't realize this fan base was so gullible that they believe every thing they read on the internet. We see saying watch the NBA trade deadline and everyone jumps to the conclusion it is about Stevens coming to IU. SMH

It is about VO getting traded once again

3 season Knicks 109-79 58% which in the NBA is very good 6 seasons Hawks 206-286 41% which is not good but if you take out his first year which was the worst team in the league his record is 198-217 which isn't great but he did increase is win total every year.

Just have to ask yourself how does the NBA trade deadline have any effect on IU basketball

I see nothing at the deadline that could effect IU basketball.

I have seen reports that VO is about to get traded before the deadline to either the Knicks or the Heat.

1- Someone who wants to be at IU and sees it as a destination job 2- A really good offensive coach 3- Wins the right way 4- Being able to relate to his players 5- Some one who understand what IU basketball means

Texas athletic department has more money in their budget than any college in the country.
