Welcome Coach Miller

[Trish]

Right now, I'm just at a point that it's Donovan or bust. Donovan is the home run hire (of course Stevens too but I'm being realistic). It's his body of work that is needed at IU. I'd be excited about a Bennett hire but everyone else is just meh.  Singles until they prove otherwise.  There are a lot of good coaches out there but this needs to be a statement hire, not simply an improvement from Crean.  Btw, Alford would be a strikeout with the runner safe at first on a passed ball.

Exactly. Anyone less than Donovan or Stevens will be disappointing to some extent.

But then again it's our fault for thinking Donovan is even interested. Yes there are insider reports but there's a question to if it's true or not.

We need to offer the farm to Billy. Hopefully Glass called Stevens to at least touch base.

I think it would be our fault to think Stevens was interested.  There's already smoke and a past confirmation that Donovan was and is interested now.  We're allowed to be insanely hopeful from that.

Gotleib saying Alford to IU is a done deal. That makes me nervous!

Dude can't even put his shorts on the right way - this makes me confident it won't be Alford

Question for those with high Donovan numbers.  Are you hoping or is this truly what you believe?  Guy makes $6 million per; and he's only been there 2 seasons.

This was the rap on Roy Williams, Dean Smith, Bill Self, and even Coach K for a long time. If you keep bringing talented teams to the tournament, eventually you break through. I think Miller is analogous in this case. 

Nailed it.... Sean Miller has knocked on the door to the final four 4 times. He has a .752 career win percentage!!!!! He wins and wins big. Kudos for comparing his career arch to Roy Williams and Bill Self. It's nearly identical. He WILL break through eventually and win a title or 2. He's not that old.

Hoping here, but is there a difference between hoping and believing in this scenario?  There are only a select few who have real information and of those, probably only a few have factual information (i.e., not a smokescreen).

Time will tell and hopefully by this time next week we are signing the praises of FG.

Since it's Gottlieb, we know he is trying to steal the headlines....

May be the only coach out there with a resume that suggests they would be able to achieve the goals Glass laid out for the next coach. I also fully believe that the boosters will provide full financial support to make the right guy the highest paid coach in college basketball, or Glass would not have said that resources will not be an obstacle.

I'm just anxious to finally find out who it is so I can start to find out who leaves, who stays, what type of commitments we get because of who we got as coach, and predictions for what type of season we will have for next year. All that is fun stuff too. I know I'm looking too far into the future and all that stuff plays itself out once we do get the new coach, but it's the type of stuff that makes me wish we would get an announcement soon. Obviously waiting patiently because of waiting for Donovan to complete his season is understandable, but I wish we had some type of confirmable guarantee that we are just waiting for Donovan to jump our way if that is indeed the case.
