Toothdr Posted February 9, 2017 Posted February 9, 2017 I think it's very possible IU could end up dropping down to their 6-8 option. I think we are all a little overly optimistic on who wants to coach here. Just my opinion.Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners HooHooHoo22 and Trish 2 Quote

Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners True, but only if y'all have unrealistic expectations as to who options 1-5 are. If any of your options 1-5 are: Self, Stevens, Wright, Donovan, and Bennett? Start looking at your 6-8th option as the most likely choice. If your 1-5 options are Marshall, Archie, Hoiberg, Mack, and Jacobsen? You are much more likely to be pleased that one of your primary choices gets the nod. Moral of the story: Some of the coaches who are perceived as "primary options" have absolutely, positively no desire to leave where they are; not for IU or anywhere else. And no, an open checkbook will not change that. LIHoosier, ALASKA HOOSIER and Toothdr 3 Quote

If it opens up IU will be the number 1 job opening in the country. And I'll say it again, thanks to what Crean has done there will be plenty of interest. If it's because of fear of the pressure to win then I don't want them at IU anyways. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners And THAT is exactly what is is for most! Quote

Trish Posted February 9, 2017 Posted February 9, 2017 Not surprised by the talk of a possible split. I'm sure Glass has already met with Crean to talk about what direction the program is going in. ALASKA HOOSIER 1 Quote
Toothdr Posted February 9, 2017 Posted February 9, 2017 When I read these boards there are too many people who have unrealistic 1-6 options. Those are unrealistic for many different reasons.Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners Quote

JSHoosier Posted February 9, 2017 Posted February 9, 2017 IU is one of the premier jobs in college, expecting the program to do what it takes to get that level coach isn't unrealistic. The only debate is if the coach is currently in the NBA, IU is a clear and undeniable upgrade over the likes of Villanova and Virginia. People act like we're friggin' Purdue. EDIT: It's easy to assume this or that coach won't be interested for this or that reason. Only they know that. You have to do what it takes to get the top options, period. Assuming and automatically looking at the second and third tier sounds like a good way to end up with Tom Crean 2.0. AZ Hoosier, HoosierAloha and thebigweave 3 Quote
Toothdr Posted February 9, 2017 Posted February 9, 2017 No one is assuming anything. I would go all out. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners Stuhoo 1 Quote
IUHAHN81 Posted February 9, 2017 Posted February 9, 2017 Alright alright, I'll take the job. I can certainty at least run a Crean offense. Criss cross the baseline and run a 3 man weave up top. I'll even be a little more demanding of energy on the defensive end. I'll get ahold of Glass and let him know I'll take it. Thread over guys! Sorry.

WayneFleekHoosier Posted February 9, 2017 Posted February 9, 2017 FWIW. Mile also said both sides need to find what they are looking for in order for things to work out. That is a lot of IFs. I am hopeful both sides can be made happy. Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners ALASKA HOOSIER and 8bucks 2 Quote

I'm sure Glass has already met with Crean to talk about what direction the program is going in. One would hope so, given the schizophrenic run CTC's teams have been on for the past 9 (OK, the past 6) years. Publicly Glass has repeatedly said that Tom's the guy... but even Crean's mother has to see the situation for what it is. As far as who... I doubt either Stevens or Donovan would be interested. If they are, great... but I really like Bennett, and see him as the attainable #1 option. After that, Marshall and Archie. From there, it's a crapshoot, IMO. IU caught lighting in a bottle with RMK, and have failed pretty miserably since. Maybe we're due and the basketball gods will smile on us again. GloryDays and ALASKA HOOSIER 2 Quote
Brass Cannon Posted February 9, 2017 Posted February 9, 2017 Let's just hope this time the other fanbase is upset at us taking their coach. WayneFleekHoosier and ALASKA HOOSIER 2 Quote

ctown2grhoosier Posted February 9, 2017 Posted February 9, 2017 Why are ppl not sold on Greg Marshall? He's done great things at Winthrop and Wichita state. I think he'd be a home run hire.Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G891A using BtownBanners mobile app Feathery, Happydaze, Josh and 1 other 4 Quote
