Collins is another guy along with White NBA guys want. Orlando is planning on talking to both.

Wait a minute. Is Orlando rumored to be getting rid of Vogel already?

He is a decent coach and they have a terrible roster.

I posted this earlier.  I like to try to quantify things with statistical analysis.  These are the rankings of coaches over the last 7 years.  I used SOS, win%, Pt Differential, and then added a tournament accomplishment component, double weighting tourney results.  I tried to make it out of 100, and when I ran the 1976 perfect season through the metric it scored a 100.28.  What the hell else am I going to do while I am waiting for more information on the coaching search?
 
 

Surprised Alford is not on the bottom of the list.

[Walking Boot of Doom 18,170]

Wish List:

1) Billy Donovan - obvious homerun, proven winner, solid recruiter, cultural fit
2) Tony Bennett - has only overachieved at underachieving programs, concerned that his offensive style may not be the style that wins championships despite the strong efficiency ratings
3) Mike White - so impressed with his tournament, strong efficiency ratings at Louisiana Tech and now Florida, might be the most interesting young coach in the game even more than Archie/Holtmann
4) Gregg Marshall - not excited by him, but would get Indiana to the tournament every year and give us a punchers chance
5) Archie Miller - young exciting coach, solid efficiency ratings that have improved each year at Dayton

I'm actually not sold on really anyone else, and don't think Sean Miller would budge (replace Marshall with Miller if you think he's even possible).

Bennett and Romeo might not be the heros IU fans deserve, but they might the heroes IU fans need right now.

 

 

Pardon my ignorance, but I'm not getting this: Who or what is Romeo? 

[Trish 11,713]

Thank god Alford isn't coming.

That being said, we would have our new coach by if it was Miller. Marshall, Bennett...

It's gotta be Billy....

Romeo Langford. 2018 top 3 talent from New Albany.

My thought continues to be "please god let it be Mr William Donovan, thank you" but my gut tells me it's going to eventually be someone we all ain't thinking of.

Off topic I know, but I'd gladly take him back as HC of the Pacers.

IUs chances become a hell of a lot better since A) Crean isn't the coach and B) Donovan is a proven winner

Gotcha. Thanks. I was confused by the reference to Bennett and Romeo.

What does every think of Frank Martin......only 51, two Elite 8's and look what he did at Kansas State and now South Carolina?

Not a sexy hire. If we hire him, I think that's a bad sign of what everyone thinks of our program.

Mike White is building a pretty good resume as well at Louisiana Tech and now Florida, but he seems to wanna stay in the south.

Unless they were waiting for a yes or no from Donovan before moving on.

I can't shake the feeling that it could be someone not mentioned.  Parker tries to keep everything quiet and last two hires were out of left field.

Noon - rumblings at IU facilities

12:30 - rumors run rampant as stuff leaks

1:30 - Fred drops a bomb on us and announces Stevens as the HC

1:35 #welcomehomebrad starts to trend on social media

Flight to Dayton this morning. I think it's Archie.

Yeah I agree, but it seems that the Donovan news seems less and less likely, as well with Steven's.

After Donovan and Steven's I am hoping for Tony Bennett or either of the Miller's. Wouldn't the Bennett and Miller's already have happened by now??
