TOM CREAN FIRED

Per 0708 about 1 minute ago, "Billy is a no go...." 

And never was a go, I'd say. I wonder if there was actually even a meeting? Or interest for that matter?

It makes since that Sean Miller would have interest. IU is a blue blood school. Miller has ties to the Midwest. He played at Pitt and is from Pennsylvania. Plus his brother Archie is the coach at Dayton as we all know. Plus his connections to USA basketball could also help boost recruiting to an even higher level since most of the guys that play for USA basketball are high 4 star or 5 star guys.

A comment like that makes me question this guy's connections. I mean, he'd have to be incredibly connected to get information like that. Like friends with our AD. Come on. Idk who our next coach will be but this guy seems to be acting like he's one step away from being in the room with our AD.

He was saying that about Billy D

I don't know if I could switch teams. I'd just be jaded and bitter. 

Once a fan of a team always a fan. That's what my dad told me. Of course, if IU ever hired Caligari, I may have to disobey my dad. God rest his soul.

So you're saying there is still a chance?

Also, 0708 claims his "understanding" is that Sean Miller is next on IU's list....

Again, he would leave Arizona why?
No, it isn't going to be money. And certainly not climate.

As good of a coach as he is Billy D has a bad history of being like this. I'm guessing IU wanted him to commit now but he wanted to wait till his NBA season is over but IU didn't want to wait for him to change his mind and then miss out on other high profile coaching targets if he did back out.

I'll be fine with Sean Miller as I wanted him years ago when Sampson got fired.

But he's not leaving for IU to rebuild. His brother might though.

Well if Sean being next on the list is true, this follows my list so far.

Didn't he back out of an NBA deal with the Magic?

If we can retain a bulk of this year's roster, is IU as big of a "rebuild" as people say?  I mean ... with a better coach, I think we're 4/5 seed in this year's NCAA (if not higher) .... not sure it's a huge rebuild ...

Arizona isn't going to let Miller leave.  They will match any money we are willing to spend and he has a great thing going there.  Don't see him wanting to come here and try and jump start things.

Yes and that is why I could see why they would want him to commit now or else move on to other targets.

[VO5 8,272]

As others have said, no reason Sean Miller would come here. Why leave Arizona for IU? Makes no sense

[Trish 11,435]

OT : I'm an AAU coach for a girls basketball team here in Central,Indiana. Just started up a Twitter account for the team in general. If anyone has plenty of followers or may have daughter interested in playing AAU basketball in the future, send me a  PM if interested.

 

 

OH yeah, FIRE CREAN.

Okay, now that is just getting goofy! I'm about to call BS on all of that.
