It was a maybe more than anything even from the posters most optimistic about Donovan. Quote
Travis Scott Posted March 21, 2017 Posted March 21, 2017 Just now, Adillac said: For the sake of positivity....I will refer back to Glass's comments and the impression I got from the presser- that IU/Glass are swinging for the fence and will do their utmost to make that happen. Which was a bold move on his part because if they do swing for the fence and have to "settle" then it looks really bad on our blue blood self image. LostInLouisville 1 Quote
A.j. Nigh Posted March 21, 2017 Posted March 21, 2017 I'm not much more than a lurker on both boards but fwiw 0708 was adamant Crean was gone when media "insiders" said he wasn't, and if my memory serves, came out with "he's gone" minutes before it broke on twitter last Thursday. For full disclosure , I want Donovan. Quote

AZ Hoosier Posted March 21, 2017 Posted March 21, 2017 Here's a question that ran through my head last night: How would you compare Alford at IU versus Painter at PU? (Both are former players and experienced coaches, with modest success in the NCAA tourney).Painter does not have all the baggage that Alford will bring. Also, Painter sat under Keady for a number of years and was groomed to be the next PUke coach. Alford has left a trail of bad ju-ju in his wake. Alford has pretty much groomed himself. I'd take Painter in a heartbeat over Alford. nerdvana and sirhoosierlot 2 Quote
Baltimore Hoosier Posted March 21, 2017 Posted March 21, 2017 Funny how things change in a day. By this time yesterday, there were posters on this board and others coming out of the woodwork with rumors about Billy Donovan being IU's new coach. Give me Bennett.. His teams play hard nosed basketball and you can tell they are very well coached with a game plan coming into every game. Unlike our most recent regime. Stuhoo, GloryDays and IUsafety 3 Quote

Bowhunter Posted March 21, 2017 Posted March 21, 2017 Bennett's teams are soooo boring. I love great defense but at the same time, when you can't score, the other team always has a chance. This comes true in tournament, neutral floor and away games. I'd rather score and keep turnovers to a minimum. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using BtownBanners mobile app Napleshoosier 1 Quote
Miller'sTheMan Posted March 21, 2017 Posted March 21, 2017 Marshall or Miller would be my hire... Both coaching mid major colleges who have taken their teams further than Crean has ever taken IU. RedsIUfan 1 Quote
