Yep guy might be a great coach. But I don't see the potential that some do. 

I'm certainly not sold on him.  Very small sample size though, he's got like 3 years of head coaching experience.

It was only one game. Saw parts of the win at Wisconsin but not enough to focus on Collins. A win there alone is impressive.

Need to see some Dayton games but I always seem to miss those.

13 years as coach K's assistant wouldn't be a bad thing to put on a coaching resume

Riley probably doesn't even have a scholarship. Baseball only gets around 10-12 scholarships to divide up among a roster of 30 or so players.

I thought Riley was going to Cincinnati for baseball?

I thought so too but it looks like he was offered a scholarship to play there but signed with Indiana

True, but neither would assistant to Tom Izzo and we want the latter out of Bloomington on the first thing with wheels.

Good point. Collins is a son of a coach from a family tree of a hall of famer and has been around the game and played the game at a high level( one advantage crean does not have , anyone else see him shoot foul shots in Maui. Yikes). Collins might be the next big coach or he might be the next to be hot and flame out. Besides a couple of candidates there is going to be risk with the next hire

Besides Bennett, Stevens and Billy D there is going to be flaws with any of the coaches we go after. If there was a perfect candidate he is probably at a major school already or NBA. Marshall may be the closest thing to a sure thing. His sure thing just means we are good doesnt mean we would ever be great so still a lot of risk even with him. Shaka was the cant miss coach not to long ago and texas looks horrible now with 2 mcdonalds all americans in their lineup. After the top 3 Archie & Collins are my favorites.

I wouldnt call Shaka a can't miss hire before Texas. There were a lot of people saying his system was a gimmick and wouldnt translate. We are seeing now that might be true. Its only his 2nd year but its not looking good. 

Guys like Collins and Miller will be risks for sure. I have looked up both their defensive efficiencies for their career and they both have put up top 30 defenses multiple times. I was actually shocked to see NW have multiple top 30 defenses. I thought at best they would be 70-80, well bc they are Northwestern. Lol

Id give both those guys a shot over Crean.

Coca Cola Roy putting one on Bennett. I did see a timeout followed by some free throws so much better than our current.

I'd just like to see more out of him because of how small the sample size is with him.  Does he continue to have NW looking decent or do they turn back into a pumpkin at midnight?

I liked the little bit I saw of him, granted the other coach in that game was Crean.

No, but wheels would be faster than walking.

If it gets him out of Bloomington I won't complain.

Collins and Miller are better coaches than Crean. Archie took a team with nobody over 6"6 to the Elite 8. And didn't need Dwayne Wade to do it.

I've seen others post this as a positive before but this seems like more of a red flag to me than a positive. Why did he have a high school size roster? Injuries perhaps? Give me a break! If crean ever had a starting lineup, let alone an entire roster with nobody over 6'6"people would be pissed including myself for poor roster management

He kicked players off the team, which happened to be all his players taller than 6'6". Even after that, he made the dance and still advanced. Thats why its viewed as a positive. He didnt sacrifice the integrity of the program and coached up his team.
