The way Glass is waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting he'd better have a damn good chance at landing someone like Donovan.  Waiting this long does not look good for the program when it's 3 million dollar man has missed the tournament twice in the last 4 years.

I would hope so...Cuonzo on the other hand didn't waste any time, but of course the gulf between him and Bennett is about as big as the difference between the NIT and the NCAAs.

Bennett personally probably isn't but that doesn't mean that his agent isn't taking phone calls.

Hey Fred, here's your participation to give to Tommy so he can hang it somewhere in AH.

Another question I just thought of is how many people with 'sources' are being lied to?

I can tell you day before Sampson hire I asked someone very much on the inside I knew well at time (and have not talked to since) if they knew who IU's next coach would be? Not only did they not say they couldn't talk about it (which I would of been fine with) they said they had no idea. Next day I hear that person thanked as an integral part of bringing Sampson aboard at introduction press conference. Needless to say I was angry at time when I heard his name at press conference and hated him more as Sampson screwed the University. 

I also have a friend on the inside who often tells me he can't talk about various things I've asked him about IU which I perfectly respect and he remains a friend to this day. Just don't lie to me.

My main point though is how many 'sources' have been lied to by someone within they think they know well only to find out they had their leg pulled? Again my point is no one knows until an announcement is made what is true.

Fun game while we wait...who would be IU's coach today if Cody Zeller picked UNC instead of IU? It's Brad Stevens, right?

We will have to see. Illinois isn't exactly a super sought after job.

crean needs to listen to his wife and say its time to move on!!!!! thank you and your not welcome here anymore!

Letting Crean dangle in the wind, the home NIT debacle, and now as a result being a punchline on ESPN and elsewhere cannot have improved our standing with the elite coaches like Billy D. This is really a cluster**** and it looks amateur as all hell.
