Coach Search 2017 IU Candidate: Billy Donovan (OKC Thunder)

[Feathery 4,005]

Mile just shared that Stevens got the first call and said no. Donovan was the second call and he is interested in talking. 

This is the easiest decision in the history of IU basketball. Bye Tom, Hello Billy! Pay the man what he wants, pay his staff what he wants, give him the recruiting budget that he wants, buy him the house he wants, and any incentives that he wants.

Good lord yes. Give him the freakin farm man. Billy Donovan would be absolutely amazing. That is a hire that would definitely strike fear in a lot of programs. It would clearly signal that IU is taking this basketball thing seriously again

Like please share the post. This info is good and Mile usually doesnt post stuff that has no legs so at least there is a chance. Would like to see the post tho.

He is a mod on another site. He isnt an insider but he knows the insiders and shares what he hears. He is spot on, a lot. He only posts things on the main board when he can verify it through multiple sources. So i have hope. Still not a done deal by any means.

If that's true they'd better be willing to crack open the check book.  Then have Crean walk to Oklahoma City and bring him back in a wheelbarrow.

I'll repeat, if IU can pull off Donovan I'd change my avatar to Bieber for a month.

Nobody wants to see Beiber. But we do want Donovan.

You would be taking one for the team man. A whole month with no Emma avatar? Oh man. But I think it'd be worth it if IU got Billy Donovan

PLEASE basketball gods, make this happen

[JSHoosier 19,850]

Of course, being willing to talk doesn't mean we'd land him.  IF we could?

IU fans be like:

 

Purdue/pUKe/Illinois/etc

[AKHoosier 6,747]

If he has even the slightest bit of interest, get Donovan to Bloomington NOW.

Get it done, Fred.  You'll go down in the history books as the AD who got Billy Donovan to IU.

God I hope we get Billly Donovan.  Lord if this happens I promise I'll be nicer to the Walking Boot of Doom.  Should we start a collection plate?

I bet he tastes gross.

But I definitely hope we get him to be our coach.

Be awesome if we get Billy D and the Thunder hire Cal

Can we just trade coaches, Crean for Donovan?  Everyone wins, well except Oklahoma City.
