Assuming 0708 and the Janitors sources are legit, there is conflicting info, which is right, and whose is a smokescreen?  Billy Donovan or mystery candidate out West?

 

Like you said...assuming they are legitimately conveying real, sourced info, they both could be right.

A search committee/firm routinely would reach out to multiple places to gauge interest, and then narrow it down from there with an established order of preference among the candidates that express interest.

So far, I've seen Donovan, Alford, and maybe Sean Miller as where we may have reached out.

In my opinion, ANYONE that proclaims "If (fill in name) is hired, I will no longer root for Indiana University" is welcome to exit stage left no matter who is hired.

  • Indiana is my alma mater (twice).
  • It is the school I will always root for. 
  • It is like family; you don't pick it, you are in it.
  • I don't root solely for the coach at the time, I root for my team, my school.

When Kelvin Sampson was coach, it was a damn shame, but I was still an absolute, no questions IU fan. I was simply an IU fan that wished we had a different coach. If Tom Crean is the coach next year? Same thing. (though it won't be nearly as bad as when Sampson was in charge)

If the identity of the coach can determine your fandom? For me...GTFO.

Maybe the Alford contact is just to keep the "we considered an IU guy" out there. I doubt that our in-state recruiting would be great if he was here. He's been coaching since 91 and has only been to 3 Sweet 16s. High school kids have no idea who he is and even their parents might not know. He played in the 80s. Let's not forget that was 30 years ago! Lol
