IU Scott

But who would be out there next year that isn't already available this year.

Again why people having a melt down over some speculation that no one evens knows if it has any truth at all. we should have learned by now not to get carried away because someone on a message boards says something might happen. Remember going into yesterday that people said it was a done deal and that Stevens was coming which we now no is false.

He wasn't on the championship team. He graduated in 1980 but that team had a chance until Woodson hurt his back and had to have surgery. He came back and played half the season and was still the big ten MVP.

Well he was a great shooter and should be able to help this teams shooting.

The last 6 minutes he didn't coach well because he was playing to run the clock down and not trying to score.

I never understand this kind of thinking, are you an IU fan or not. You should back any coach who comes in here until he proves he can't do the job. No wonder a lot of coaches probably are interested in coming her is the fan base. we as IU fans see this as a destination job to about any coach in the country. today with how college basketball is that a great coach at a place like TT or Villanova doesn't have to look at places like IU to win. I will back whoever the next coach at IU is and will give him support for 4 years to see what he can do. I think bring in an IU guy might be something that might work or at least should be given a chance. we have done everything else by bring in a know cheater, brought in a guy who went to a final four and an up and coming mid major coach. I know if an IU guy like Woodson is hired I will stop coming to message boards because I a tired of how this fan base turns on people when they don't get their way. How do you expect this program ever to win again if half the fan base turns on them and not backs them. I have been ripped for years on HSN saying that our fan base is part of the reason we are no longer an elite program. we don't see it but everyone else sees that IU is no longer an elite program that coaches will want to flock to. We don't ;like when national people say these things but they are pretty much correct about this fan base.

I can see 6 easily because there are coaches still working that is over 74

D. Pepsi

The thing is none of the people who fired RMK are no longer at IU

I would to minus the beer

My best friends son is a manager for the women's program at IWU and we have talk about Tonnegal. It appears he sees coaching more of a way to minster to kids than just coaching basketball. That is the main reason he has never left IWU and that kind of thing probably don't go well at a lot of schools.

Winning is cool though

I agree because Beilein is one of the best coaches in the country and have no idea why you would stop being a fan of IU if he is hired. I will back whoever is hired like I have other coaches. I will give them 4 years to make a judgment on their coaching performance

I was playing in a church league game and got an elbow against the head and called some one an a-hole

Duke will stay within the family and UNC has as well

Might never have the A+ hire so you could be waiting for years. Until two days ago our fans never even thought Stevens was a possibility S every candidate we thought about is still there to talk to.

Why?

So you don't think every coach in college basketball curses. I had a baseball coach when I was 13 that would yell and cuss at players.

Having Archie gone is worth it

Besides Stevens what other coach who would be better than what was on that list I think we need a coach who understands the history of this school and a guy who knows how to handle the IU fan base.

I know but some in this fan base thinks just because we are Indiana that we can get anyone we want.

Well who do you think IU could hire that is better than that

He would give us a good 6 years and make this job more attractive. I have been ripped for years on HSN sayin this job is not elite any longer and we will not get an elite coach during these hiring processes. I consider only 8 coaches as elite Stevens, Bennett, Wright, Williams, Coach K, Self, Few, Izzo. I have two coaches who I would never want here is Cal and Pitino I said no matter how much we paid out we would never get those coaches and everyone told me everyone has a price. I guess after today I might be more correct than people wanted to believe.

I will say the next coach will be from this list Beard Drew Beilein Matta Musselman

or get fired in 4 years
