Welcome Coach Miller

[SteelerHoosier]

If Alford is the hire then it becomes clear this was a booster/trustee hire. Not a Glass hire. 

[Trish]

I'll never watch another IU game if Alford is the next coach.

Literally a lateral move. Probably even worse.

Hire Crean, Fire Alford

Rabjohns is saying no

Rabjohns said Crean was being retained 12 hours before he was fired too.

I've been looking at old Florida rosters from the Donovan, days and though he didn't really recruit the midwest that much (he did land Bradley Beal, Corey Brewer, David Lee and a few others sprinkled in), he recruited the state of Florida HARD. That right there shows me that he likes to recruit in his back yard and I have no doubt that if he came here he would do the same in Indiana/ the Midwest. I don't think it's 100% necessary to "Lock down the state", but there is a hotbed of talent around here and I think he would recruit it well.

True. You got me there.

****, i post a good post and yall just have to go an ruin it.

We have such a casual fan base and casual AD if he Alford is the next coach.

On the other side, why would you leave UCLA for Indiana? That's a downgrade. He's got great recruiting classes coming in, easy conference, LA, weather, money.

Alford was made for UCLA

Wtf?

I know Rabjohns has disputed this tweet but it does make me a little nervous nonetheless.  Doyel's latest is a column as to why IU should not hire Alford but there is one somewhat interesting paragraph in his column.

http://www.indystar.com/story/sports/columnists/gregg-doyel/2017/03/19/doyel-steve-alford-noise-deafening-and-kind-dumb/99361610/

The Alford-to-IU noise is so loud, coaches around the country are telling me what they’re hearing: They expect Adidas — IU has a $54 million contract with Adidas through 2024 — to pay Alford’s $7.8 million buyout at UCLA. It too was an Adidas school when UCLA hired Alford in 2013, but the Bruins recently left Adidas for a 15-year, $280 million deal with Under Armour. Adidas would love to return the favor and help Alford leave UCLA. That’s what other coaches are hearing, and telling me.

Huffington Post is a JOKE

[Brass Cannon]

Wow guess I'm cheering UCLA on just in case this is true.

Even if you may not be a fan, the Huffington Post is a legit news organization. Im not saying this guys info about Alford is legit though

I politely disagree about Huffington being legitimate.

HEY! I just thought of something. I'm gonna start tweeting that I have sources, but first I'll send everyone on BTB a PM that says what my twitter handle is so you guys can follow me. That way I can say it is guaranteed Donovan is coming here, and because I'll have a ton of followers people will think its true
