Alford has a top 5 team, is coaching the most storied program in college basketball history in terms of championships, and is in LA. I'd gladly welcome him home, but damn, it seems like it would be hard for him to leave right now.

It has been said by multiple people that Alford was the one pushing to come to IU. I also think it might have to do with his family still living in New Castle if I'm not mistaken.

Would love to be a fly on the wall in this supposed booster meeting

The only good things about California. While i lived there i felt like it was equal parts amazing and nightmare.

Those are the three main things with California as far as I'm concerned. Where did you live while there?

Somebody take Crean, please!!!

Maybe Greg Marshall will reach out to Crean and offer him an assistant job? Kill two birds with one stone. Get rid of Crean and avoid Marshall. Whew

i wouldnt want to avoid marshall....one of the better coaches on the list and one of them that might actually come here at of all of them. im not so certain any of them would want to come after this fiasco.

Honestly, beyond the fact that I dislike Alford's track record which includes both mild success similar to Crean's and an inexcusable moral blemish, I am convinced he would be given a much longer leash as the hometown hero if he underperformed as coach. Boosters seem hesitant to make a rash discussion firing Crean, and rightfully so, because instability is never good for a program. I can't imagine how difficult it would be to convince enough boosters to move on from Alford if he had success similar to what he has achieved in the past.

Crean is a turd that wont flush. Hardest guy I've ever seen to get rid of.

He has more than 9 lives. It is amazing how hard he is to get rid of.

I saw a tweet that was later deleted by Justin Albers. Who else reported it? Just curious because I haven't seen much surrounding this rumor other than that.

If you need a new F-5 in general, just hit up Brock Lesnar. I'm sure he'll oblige

I just don't get the desire for him. Why does Indiana have to be the first real school he coaches at? Let him go to Illinois or something.

I have a feeling page 1000 is going to be the hammer.  It will get IU basketball back on the map.

Well, I was hoping for my posts to appear back to back but some one had to go a ruin the fun.  Guess I should have quoted myself.  I don't have a great feeling about where the program is headed, but hoping that's just the indigestion talking!
