Crean was able to win 2 B1G titles and 3 sweet 16's while he was here. Also, there's a direct comparison between the two, because they both coached Marquette. Williams went farther more consistently in the tournament than Crean did.

I think Buzz Williams is at the intersection of everything we look for while also being attainable. He wins at a high level in power conferences, not a dick to people on or off the court, and it wouldn't be moving from within the conference. Obviously not the first choice, but he seems like the best possible of the realistic hires.
-
That's the most important question imo. That same offer would unlock a lot of coaches that otherwise would've said no.

Not only that, but Drake was killing it before he got there. What if he's there in 3 years and looks worse? Just too risky right now.
-
Agreed. He is good. But he doesn't win enough to justify his antics, and the fact he wins a lot and UC and UCLA still just want him to go away is proof we'd just do the same.
-
I hated the Woodson hire regardless of who we thought we were gonna get
-
And UCLA people still don't seem to like him.
-
No I'm not even considering Stevens is gonna be the coach. Which is why I just refuse to engage with the Stevens to IU talk.
-
We absolutely would care. Why am I so sure? Because look at the Crean era. We were ready to tear him apart and not even winning the big ten title in 2016 stopped people.
-
If we're going that route, the only thing that's been verified is he's never been close to saying yes to the job.
-
There's a reason I simply refuse to engage with any of the Brad Stevens talk. I simply do not believe it. I'd love to be wrong though.
-
I don't think so either, but 9.2 for 10 years would get anyone in college, unless they just really love where they're at, and even then they'd probably take it.
-
All those wins at UC and they weren't upset to see him go. Nobody at UCLA seems to be in a hurry to make him stay. It's the same with Crean where Marquette people weren't upset to see him go despite all his success there. We would get tired of him and drive him out. I'm just not OK with Cronin as head coach, period.
-
If I had to pick, it would have to be Buzz. He has more consistent success and shown he can get the most mediocre programs up and running at a consistent high level. Plus the crazy antics of Cronin would drive us crazy and make us beg for the days where Crean looked sane.
-
I still don't think he's that good. That final 4 run was a miracle run as an 11 seed. Otherwise it's been low ceiling with early upsets galore. Plus, we would get tired of him with his antics. Couple all of that with a buyout in the same range as Nate Oats and TJ Oztelberger, that would be a terrible hire in my opinion.
