DChoosier Posted March 16, 2017 Posted March 16, 2017 Not that I've seen. They're just saying we should go after him, Marshall or Bennett Long term who knows which of those three would do the best job. Near term.... Billy, by far, would excite recruits and the fan base more than the other two. Napleshoosier and Hoosierfan2017 2 Quote
Baltimore Hoosier Posted March 16, 2017 Posted March 16, 2017 I hope it's Donovan.. Just tough to walk away when you're making $6mil and coaching one of the best players on the planet. Quote

I do not closely follow the NBA and do not know the answer to this question but..... Does BD enjoy coaching one of the best players on the planet? Depending on the coach-ability of the player it could be a pleasure or pure hell. Hovadipo, Hoosierfan2017 and Btownclouds 3 Quote
Stuhoo Posted March 16, 2017 Posted March 16, 2017 Downsides are he's a little old, and on some level might overshadow the program. Upside: Duh! The man is clean and can win, win, win!!! Absolutely approved Quote
Walking Boot of Doom Posted March 16, 2017 Posted March 16, 2017 Wouldn't be surprised to see Billy pick an assistant to run the program until May. Seems like the smart move if he is in fact the move here. Time will tell. Is this something with precedent? Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app Quote

Does BD enjoy coaching one of the best players on the planet? Depending on the coach-ability of the player it could be a pleasure or pure hell. Not publicly saying that he doesn't. Definitely not happy that Durant left. Now it is VERY possible that Westbrook goes home to L.A. leaving Billy with nothing. I'm sure that he would rather be a coach than be a manager. That was one of the big takeaways from Pitino and Calipari. If Donovan is a no, his next coaching gig will be at UofL.Sent from my SM-G930P using BtownBanners mobile app Quote
Hoosier Guy Posted March 16, 2017 Posted March 16, 2017 Billy Donovan! It's gonna happen! I have a strong hunch. I haven't stopped smiling ear to ear. IU is about to take off with Donovan at the helm Quote
Hovadipo Posted March 16, 2017 Posted March 16, 2017 Is this something with precedent? Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile appI'm not sure. It's a scenario I've seen tossed around and I thought it made sense. Idk if it actually does lol. Quote
schoosier Posted March 16, 2017 Posted March 16, 2017 I'm curious about his current contract and how this affects a decision/ negotiating? Of course agents can work the gray areas, but I don't see an announcement or assistants running the program until he is officially out at OKC. Where is Martinmoplady when you need him? Quote
Bowhunter Posted March 16, 2017 Posted March 16, 2017 I don't want Bennett. Sorry just don't like having to recruit kids showing we play slow Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using BtownBanners mobile app IUfan_Charlie 1 Quote
Brass Cannon Posted March 16, 2017 Posted March 16, 2017 I'm not sure. It's a scenario I've seen tossed around and I thought it made sense. Idk if it actually does lol. I'm not sure there is precedent. Rarely has an NBA guy ever come to college and I am not sure ever while they were still employed by an NBA team Hovadipo 1 Quote
crazywillie Posted March 16, 2017 Posted March 16, 2017 This is the guy. Lets see if Glass can bring him in. Timing will be interesting. Quote
Hoosier Guy Posted March 16, 2017 Posted March 16, 2017 IU will wait until the end of the Thunder's season. It makes absolute sense. Donovan should finish the season with his current team. Then after OKC loses in the first round, Donovan will officially be hired. It's already an arrangement right now. It's just not public Quote

To many talented players are available for 2017 to not make the announcement even if an assistant has to handle the recruiting. Donovan recruited Waters, he probably recruited Tilmon or at least put feelers out. bnkepner 1 Quote
