Just don't think it's gonna happen. It doesn't make sense for him. I have a couple people I trust about IU affairs, but have not talked to them since this whole situation has started. I work in Louisville and know a few people close to that program and when they heard that Crean had been fired they looked at me without prompt and said Donovan will be your next coach. Do do I fully trust them on this no, but with all the other stuff that's been said by other people I tend to believe that he will be at IU next year.

SteelerHoosier Posted March 20, 2017 Posted March 20, 2017 I've personally communicated with people the last few days who are sourced. Donovan is indeed very much in play. ALASKA HOOSIER 1 Quote

Just don't think it's gonna happen. It doesn't make sense for him. What else do you expect a coach to say in public though? Saban flat out said he will not be the coach at Alabama right before becoming the coach at Alabama. I always expect coaches to say thing like that in public. Maybe he prefers the college game. Maybe he doesn't particularly like Westbrook and/or is tired of Westbrook being a one man show. Maybe after 30 years IU still has pull. If he has interest there could be a million different reasons.

There's alot of "maybe's" in that comment... What makes you think he prefers college or doesn't like Westbrook? Quote
Hovadipo Posted March 20, 2017 Posted March 20, 2017 I see why he stays at Wichita St. Imagine if he was at a power 5 school and lost maybe 10 games a year?The crazy husband/wife stuff is wayyyy easier to get by with at a school like that between a smaller fan base and a coaching having more control over a program.

cljones1979 Posted March 20, 2017 Posted March 20, 2017 This new rumor is getting me worried. I know it's a rumor now but what about tomorrow or the days ahead.

AKHoosier Posted March 20, 2017 Posted March 20, 2017 LOL IU and Fred Glass are probably sending out smokescreens and false information to various media personnel regarding Alford, but The Huffingon Post is home to the only people dumb enough to run with it.

Tom White Posted March 20, 2017 Posted March 20, 2017 And IU basketball alums. Who should have no input on this decision whatsoever. Seriously? You think past players should have no input?I'd argue they are more qualified than most other groups of people, including boosters, donors, and message board posters!
