That’s completely fair points for sure

I don’t want someone with Cignettis personality though. I want someone a little more humble who can still demand a room. Cignetti has to win every year IMO to be able to maintain his level of cockiness and if he doesn’t then fans will turn on him quickly due to it.

It’s also a lot easier to win at UCLA than it is at Ole Miss which has to be taken into consideration. For me it’s 1. Who is a better recruiter 2. Who will target high school players because Indiana has wayyy too many good ones to be portal hunting only 3. WHO is good at X’s and O’s. IMO there is a reason Calapari isn’t great at Arkansas and it has to do with him being a bad X’s and O’s guy and now that playing field is even and he can’t cheat for 5 stars he’s struggling. 4. Who could be here for 15-20 years and not wear out their welcome. If IU got tired of Crean I don’t see how Cronin wouldn’t wear out his welcome 5-6 years into it since he’s not afraid to call out his players or the fans which won’t go over well here.

The religious thing isn’t fake either. He’s legit very religious. There isn’t cussing even allowed at practice.

Why? He’s literally done nothing impressive IMO

What I find interesting and that’s pure speculation is that May either 1. Knew IU already had their coach or 2. Genuinely loves being at Michigan and his personality won’t allow him to leave somewhere after one year especially when QB Dropped the ball and IU could’ve had him last year but I could be totally wrong with my thoughts.

You can’t steal my line sir!!!!! lol just giving ya trouble

Isaac is that you???? I’m so tired of trolls

I would think they dig all of the dirt up for Dolson and do any other dirty work Dolson needs

Oh interesting I never thought about it that way

Anyone know why they are just now announcing Indiana is hiring a search firm? I thought that was known a while ago?

Very fair point that I don’t unfortunately know the answer to

Does anyone know if players enjoy playing for Cronin? Does he have some personality behind the scenes? He just seems very negative and also openly calls out his players which worked 15-20 years ago but kids these days are very soft and want nurturing

I think people are tired of debating back and forth because there isn’t anything else to debate. Everyone has said what they’ve wanted probably 7-8 times each now.

He doesn’t claim to be an insider. He specifically says I tell everyone what I hear and sometimes I’m right and sometimes I’m wrong. In my experience his transparency is different than that of a true “insider”

I just wish if he was going to call out someone then he would at least spell correctly.

I would seriously love if he was the coach

Does that mean I’ll be hired as an assistant and the coach in waiting

I don’t disagree at all

See he’s such an irrelevant candidate to me that I don’t even know his name

I totally agree. I just don’t see how it gets past May because I don’t think he signs an extension until he for sure knows IU isn’t hiring him

I wonder if it just means Barnwell is on his list of candidates and if others say no and it gets to him then that’s when he would be hired

I think where I have a problem is let’s say our insiders are right and he’s actually taking the job it’s silly to me for him to be like I’m not a candidate and a week later takes the job. Also people were saying Dolson and crew seemed happy but I just don’t see that us hiring Stevens would be the only reason they would be happy. People even laugh and joke around at funerals.

I honestly trust what Dolson and Whitten and the search firm decide. If they say his off court stuff is fine then I’m good with it. I get that he made mistakes but people change and research would be done excessively on him because of it

I 1000% agree! Hes been to a final 4 but so has Mike Davis. Yes he’s been to the tournament a ton but was in a lower conference that he could dominate and yet he is 1 game above .500 in the tournament which to me isn’t the home run hire we need. I think you have to try for May if that’s who your backup plan is and let’s be honest they can back channel to his agent and find out for certain if he wants the job and if he says no you go to your next candidate in the back channels. But I’d think and hope they have what’s equal to an NFL Draft board and give each candidates their draft grade and then rank them based on such.
