nerdvana Posted March 16, 2017 Posted March 16, 2017 Dakich taking phone calls and he's getting his equivalent of "Dittoheads". It's just a bunch of half-wits kissing his butt and agreeing that Steve Alford *must* be IU's next coach. I just don't get the idea that IU needs an "IU guy" because other guys don't "get it". What's there to get? Any solid X and Os coach that comes here and recruits the state will be an IU guy in no time. thebigweave, Alford Bailey, Hardwood83 and 1 other 4 Quote

mdiu28 Posted March 16, 2017 Posted March 16, 2017 Dakich really pushing the hiring of an IU guy. Get Billy, Fife can be his assistant and take over the program when Billy calls it quits. He'll be ready by then mark1981, WayneFleekHoosier and Kepner 3 Quote

AZ Hoosier Posted March 16, 2017 Posted March 16, 2017 Lots of traffic and activity here... can't keep up... but in case it has not been posted (didn't see it, personally), here's Glass' statement: Quote Athletics Director Fred Glass announced the decision in a press release. “After deliberative thought and evaluation, including multiple meetings with Tom about the future, I have decided to make a change in the leadership of our men’s basketball program,” Glass said. “Tom Crean brought us through one of the most challenging periods in IU basketball history, led his players to many successes in the classroom and on the court and represented our university with class and integrity. While winning two outright Big Ten titles in five years and being named Big Ten Coach of the Year, Tom worked tirelessly to develop great young men and successful teams. However, ultimately, we seek more consistent, high levels of success, and we will not shy away from our expectations. Tom is a good man and a good coach and we owe him a great debt of gratitude for his many positive contributions to Indiana basketball. We wish him well. “The national search for our new coach begins immediately. The Board of Trustees and the President have expressly delegated to me the responsibility and authority for this search and hire. While I will not be establishing a formal search committee or advisory committee, I will consult with basketball experts from around the country and throughout the State of Indiana, including many former Indiana University basketball players. The expectations for Indiana University basketball are to perennially contend for and win multiple Big Ten championships, regularly go deep in the NCAA tournament, and win our next national championship—and more after that. We will identify and recruit a coach who will meet these expectations.” Josh 1 Quote

rebelhoosier848891 Posted March 16, 2017 Posted March 16, 2017 Dakich just said that he is sure Billy Donovan will want the IU job. He also said that he will probably get a call from Donovan within the next day or so. Man down here in Southern Indiana couldn't get on the site for over an hour--buffering non-stop. Ready for Donovan! Restore the glory of old IU!Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners reconmkd and VO5 2 Quote
Yogi's Picnic Basket Posted March 16, 2017 Posted March 16, 2017 Why?They were getting beat badly but made a run. I stand corrected lol. His knock has been tourney success but has ran into HOF coaches so he gets the nod. If he loses today it has to add some nervousness to it. I would personally call Stevens, Donovan, Jay Wright, Tony Bennett, Archie and Sean in a group call lol, Holtmann, Mike White and maybe Bryce Drew. Alford could jump in there with a big run.
