BTB coaches poll

Agreed. Tonight he is auditioning for the Indiana position.

I thought some would be mentioning him more.

Just for fun...

Stevens: Yes. Maybe the most ideal coach-school fit in all of college basketball. Probably similar to Harbaugh going to Michigan. Unlikely to happen, but Glass has to do everything he can just to see... it would be THAT good of a hire.

Donovan: Yes. Not quite like Stevens. But he'd win, here. On a national scale. But again, unlikely to happen.

Bennett: Yes. Fundamentally sound coach. Minimizes turnovers and plays superb defense. He won the ACC twice in the last few years over Coach K, Williams, Boeheim, Pitino, etc. He's high-level. He'd win consistently here. But we already tried to get him once and I think the history with his sister makes this unlikely, too.

Jay Wright: BTC. A few years ago, I read about an anonymous survey of college coaches that asked whose team was easiest to prepare for and the highest vote-getter was Jay Wright's. Evidently, his peers didn't think he was a good coach. Yet he later won a national championship. I like his consistency at Nova, but his X's and O's look a lot like Crean's. He would make me a little nervous...

Steve Alford: BTC. It's not a popular opinion, but I believe Alford would max out his coaching potential here. But this ship sailed long ago and I don't see it coming back around.

Archie Miller: Maybe BTC? Not sure. He'd be a bit risky. We need a Top 15-20 coach in the nation. Is he?

Sean Miller: BTC. I think he's Roy Williams. Not a great X's and O's guy, but he gets talent and they play together and win consistently. It could work here.

Chris Holtman: BTC. I like him, but still a risky hire. See Archie Miller.

Ronald Nored: No. As an assistant, yes.

Andy Enfield: No. A hard no. We don't need Dunk City. We need Indiana Basketball.

Dane Fife: BTC. I think he'd have success here and is prepared. But I also think he should be down the list.

Gregg Marshall: Yes. Probably. I'd love his X's and O's. And that's what we need. Fundamentals. Not worried about the mid-major to IU move. He's good enough. However, some rumors exist that he is not likable and is hard to get along with. That could spell doom with in-state (and out-of-state) recruiting. Plus, since Glass fired Wilson, I'd be surprised to see him hire someone like Marshall.

Bill Self: Yes, but seriously?

Chris Mack: No. Reminds me of two coaches. Tom Crean and John Groce. Again guys, we need to get a Top 15-20 coach.

Mark Few. Yes. And I'd give him a courtesy call, too. But highly unlikely he'd leave Gonzaga. But I could see him win here with consistency. Made the NCAA Tournament 17/17 years. Consistency, folks. Even in the WCC.

Michael Lewis? The more I think about it the more i like it. Has been an assistant under Knight, Stevens, and Holtman.

An assistant for Tim Miles too.  Hey, they beat us and they're about to beat Purdue.

Lol, not from me. Wittman and Woodson sucked in the NBA as coaches. Wittman had John Wall and Beal and couldn't do anything with them. Woodson's entire offensive philosophy in New York was give the ball to Melo and pray, no thanks

[JSHoosier]

Let's add Tim Miles to this list.

Tim Miles - No, but BTC

[Hovadipo]

Tim Miles is not a better coach than Tom Crean, good lord.

A two time National Champion at a school where Basketball was 3rd doesn't excite 

[BlueDevil]

Would anyone take Hoiberg if he left/fired from the Bulls? Not sure how I feel about him but he had some good momentum at ISU. Just throwing out names.

I honestly liked Hoiberg. He seemed to be a good judge of talent. I wouldn't like the transfers at a 3 or 4 guy rate each year. I wouldn't mind 1 or 2 every other year to help if classes got unbalanced. He seemed to be really respected by his players. The Bulls situation may hurt him though and frankly it isn't his fault one bit.

Stevens is a pipe dream. No reason for Self or Wright to leave. Mark Few would have been an outstanding hire in 2008. I think Mike White has a lot of potential. Without putting too much thought into it, that's what I get off the top of my head.

What does everyone think of Mike Brey @ Notre Dame?  I don't know his current contract terms, but maybe he's ready for a change.

[IUsafety]

He's a great coach and better than Crean. Had 16 straight 20 win seasons, 4 SEC Tournament champions, 6 SEC regulars season champions. It could just be his ties to Kentucky or Rick Pitino. His last season at Florida was a losing season and finished 8th in the SEC. I'm just not a fan of his.

Brad Stevens is the answer. So YES
