Yeah. I didn't know when. Crazy though.

I think that shows how bad things are. Someone chooses Alaska over covering Indiana Basketball

[MikeRoberts]

If we can't convince Stevens, Donavon, or Bennet then Archie is the guy I want.

More than Jay Wright? More than Dana Altman? Even Enfield and holtmann seems like a better option

I hope it's true. I'm not tuning in! I'll feel bad for those out there competing if it's an empty house but they need to point fingers at spazzy

I won't really feel too bad for them if it's empty. They haven't put a product on the floor that people want to watch. Some of that blame goes to Crean, but he's not the sole reason people aren't showing up.

How is Altman, Enfield or Holtmann even in your top 5?  Altman has had 2 defenses capable of winning a title since 2002.  Even Crean has had 3.  Holtmann has had 1 in the last 6 years and Enfield's best is this year at #79.  These guys would all fare the same or worse than Crean just looking at the way they don't value defensive minded teams.

[Hoosier Guy]

Tony Bennett or Archie Miller. Assuming both Brad Stevens and Billy Donovan say no

People who live in Alaska are stooooopid and have lots of cooties!!

I wouldn't mind Archie, I think he would do well here but take a look at a guy like Altman and what he's done at Oregon and I am personally more impressed with what he's doing. Jay Wright is my number one above anyone else, but a guy like Altman would be awesome here. If he stays at Oregon for the longterm I think he could be a perennial top ten team and I just don't see Archie ever being that at Dayton

I'm saying no to Altman, his defenses typically aren't much better than Crean's.  Gregg Marshall is a better choice than Altman.

I like Archie for the job. Honestly from what I have read Stevens is a hard no, but you have to offer him everything you have to try and lure him. Donavon I also think would be a no depending on what OKC does at the deadline and how they fair in the playoffs. I had never even considered Beard until he was mentioned earlier but I think he could be a good choice. I also think with IU's resources Chris Collins could do really well. 

[iceman]

How are things going in the Crean house Iceman? You are related right. Hope you found a new house out of state. 

I will continue to be an IU fan for life & would never wish for them to not to win no matter the surroundings ! Just be careful what you wish for [emoji459]

Do we ask Mark Few to come?

I didn't even think of him I don't know that he would but I would say you have to ask.

[Class of '66 Old Fart]

If Glass is planning to make a change certainly he'll reach out to a selected few targets typically through backdoor channels.  On the other hand, if the sharks a/k/a agents for the coaching fraternity start to smell blood, they'll be beating a path to Glass for coaches who would love a job in Bloomington.

if so, that would presumably also eliminate Marshall.

[HoosierTrav]

Just curious...why? I prefer Archie and a few others, but other than the over the top intensity, Martin can really coach a disciplined team.

Because he's won even less than Tom Crean... I am baffled that anyone is even suggesting Frank Martin at IU. That would be the nail in our coffin.

[HoosierTrav]

Better get used to names being thrown out there that dont seem logical. I do think Martin is a step above Crean but clearly wouldnt be in the fans top group. 

There is literally no evidence to suggest that Martin is a step up from Crean. There's a lot that suggest he's a downgrade.

[HoosierTrav]

An IU message board. Shouldn't take it serious. Everyone knows Frank Martin would be a major downgrade. We might as well hire Bruce Webber [emoji23]

We could re hire Mike Davis and not notice a difference.

I highly doubt that!! Altman has had a couple really good shot blockers lately. Boucher & Bell have been solid. Regardless if his defense is okay to probably above average for me he has done a lot with not that much talent. He has developed the guys he has to the names they hold. Watching Oregon as much as I have I can tell you his team plays to the whistle and they play with heart. I would take Altman but he isn't my top option but to act like he is an okay coach is crazy. Oregon was never a basketball school and he has made them a name for quite awhile now.
