Yeah I don't understand how you pretty much go from "billy Donovan is a done deal and there will be a press conference this week" to "yeah billy isn't coming" something has to give

Again, there was never anything definitive about a press conference this week.  It was a maybe more than anything even from the posters most optimistic about Donovan.

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.

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.

You're absolutely correct. MSB/Priller is the only one with that sort of superpower!

Who the heck knows..

Who do you believe at this point?  Here are our candidates:

1. 0708
2. BtownInsider
3. @IUBradStevens
4. That trash can over in the corner

I'm done listening to sources lol. They'll probably know the day it happens or maybe even the day before. Way too wishy washy for my liking, which probably means they're adding their own thoughts to each post

Fellow tankers, I ask you to join me on a new adventure.

Here's what I believe: 

No one knows a damn thing and I need to get back to work. Time for a break from ever changing rumor mill. I mean we hear Geno Auriemma's name last night. I mean, come on.

I really hope Fred has him sit in on the meetings.  Just his mere presence would strike fear into any candidate we wanted, and they would sign on the spot.

Breaking news from Bloomington:

One of my sources sent me this photo of Fred Glass and IU Trustees laughing as their troll level reaches level 10 on IU message boards.

 

[AZ Hoosier 10,917]

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.

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.

0708 did waver on Crean getting canned fwiw

How about Chris Mack?

Gets to the tourney regularly. His thugs can be out of control (re brawl with Cincinnati). No thanks

Not that he's who we'll end up with, but for those of you who think that Fife accomplished nothing or has had next to no head coaching experience, below is the "before and after" record of IPFW surrounding Dane's five year stint as a D1 head coach:

I'm just waiting to see what Mile says...

Hickory too, as he never fully committed to Donovan coming in the first place. 

Mile has been quiet today and Hickory is on vacation.

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.

Marshall or Miller would be my hire... Both coaching mid major colleges who have taken their teams further than Crean has ever taken IU.
