Has anyone seen this Billy Donovan rumor post over on the Illini board?

Sounds intriguing to me.

Oh please let this be true and let that team be Indiana. I can only imagine what he could do at a true basketball school. I just wander if the money is there to pay north of 6M/yr for a contract.

Man, and that's the type of hire we need.  We NEED the rest of the B1G to be terrified.

I love the quote that stuck out to me: "Donovan at IU would be absolutely terrifying"

Or this exchange:

I'd highly highly highly doubt he comes here, but he sure as hell better not go to Indiana.

The thought makes me physically sick.

Billy Donovan would be absolutely amazing and the rest of the B1G would collectively crap themselves. He is the type of coach that puts fear into other programs. IU hasn't had that coach since RMK

Just read that thread, they were wetting themselves at the mere thought.

It wouldn't just be B1G teams.  That kind of hire would send tidal waves throughout all of college basketball.  Women in Kentucky would wake up to find their husbands/brothers with night sweats frozen in fear.

That type of hire would indicate that IU is taking this basketball thing seriously again. And I would hope I would wake up to find Tyra Buss in bed with me lol

LMAO @ "Husbands/brothers". Things definitely get weird down here when you cross the river

 

And also like the one reply in that

"Indiana if anything. Illinois not a chance "

The more I watch Bennett, I would take a pass. His dad's teams were very slow but the paint has literally dried up the Miami game. Halftime 19-21. A few of VA first half possessions reminded me of the exact opposite of Crean. Walk it up, move very slowly on offense, then take a bad 3. I'm surprised Larranga hasn't put on a press and force the action like NC. Miami has more talent and a good coach.

I think he is a really good coach but his teams don't score at all. Bo Ball 2.0

But its an ACC team so its calculating and scientific. Meanwhile '36-33' lives in lore as the fugliest game ever.

Janitor told me back in the day when we approached Stevens we were willing to offer North of 6M a year. Who knows how factual it was but apparently Nored was the middle man regarding this info.
