Welcome Coach Miller

[CrossboneIU22]

Any college that is ready to get rid of their current coach, then I'll pass.

[indianaranger]

That is what a insider said.

Basically, don't immediately dismiss whoever is hired. Give them a chance.

Why? Alford has been a coach 26 years. Those coaches were either not head coaches or were young enough to grow. Alford is north of 50. Big difference

This is nothing but truth. IU already did that once with Crean. They better not do it again

Really?  Read their forums, typically the most difficult fans to please are on forums.  They are indignant at the thought of losing Bennett.  They claim that there is no way he would leave them, and they don't want him to go.

[indianaranger]

IT was posted on one of other boards a couple days ago can't remember where.

FW radio grading their 6 IUBB coaching candidates.

Alford -graded a B. Not winning enough. Compared to Crean.

Fife- flyer, risky pick. B-

Marshall- wins, coaches well. Wife takes him from A to A-.

Archie Miller- doesn't win enough. C.

Billy Donovan- Boom. Out of the park. A+

Holtman- great coach, lots of success. Recruiting concerns. B-.

No point of being bitter from the beginning of something. Just my opinion. 

[Gahoosierfan]

I remember when Crean was hired. I was not in any way pleased. I thought he was a weak hire and I just hoped for the best. Nine years later I sure hope I don't feel that way again.

Fife ahead of Miller and tied with Holtmann. WTF

Insane for sure, but it was a Fort Wayne station so I think a little 'homerism' is at play (still stupid, though).

Bennett losing a lot of his team, makes us more attractive. He's looking at a rebuild.

Quite the contrary.  They both were likely transfers because he has recruited better players and they weren't going to get much PT next year.

[Yogi's Picnic Basket]

If that is true then those "people" are retarded. Take a look at UVa results for the 10yrs before Bennett got there and since.
He's the best thing to happen to them since Ralph Sampson.

My thoughts exactly

That is not even remotely true.  He walks on water at UVa - second only to Thomas Jefferson, and perhaps not by much.

[Class of '66 Old Fart]

Might as well get Rick Bozich's take on the next hire.

Good to hear hope he is our next coach.

From Rabjohns :

Where the Indiana coaching search stands

2:09 PM 

So, where does Indiana’s coaching search stand right now in the actual process?

 

What is happening right now is the search firm that Indiana hired, Parker Executive Search, is in the process of reaching out to coaches to gauge the interest level of those coaches.

 

Where this starts is with any coach at any level with whom IU would like to discuss it’s opening.

 

At this point, Peegs.com has confirmed IU has gotten positive feed back from several coaches, all of whom are currently on our updated coaching Hot Board.

 

Now, more coaches could be contacted by the search firm today, tomorrow, next week.

 

I don’t want to put specific names in this report just yet to avoid giving the impression that timing of communication is indicative of level of interest, either from IU in a coach or a coach in IU.

 

Sometimes timing of communication can be related to travel, still being the NCAA Tournament, a coach needing to sit down with his representation before responding, etc. These are people who have and can offer multi-million dollar contracts.

 

The point of this note is more about where the process stands right now and how it is most likely to unfold in the next few days, and beyond.

 

Here is what we have been told by multiple sources on that front:

 

After Parker gets feedback — positive or negative — from the coaches IU wants to reach, that will be gathered and presented to decision makers at IU.

 

At that point, IU will go through the feedback, see what they feel is learned from the feedback and proceed with interviews.

 

As far as timing, getting to the point of starting interviews probably isn’t a 24-hour situation. It may not even be a 48-hour situation. It could be a couple days before interviews start in earnest.

 

With coaching searches, things can change at any point in time. That’s just the nature of these situations. But at this point in time, IU wants to proceed in a thoughtful and unrushed manner. The goal is to fully vet all options and make the right decision, not make a fast decision.

 

The focus is on the next 10 years or more of IU basketball, not the next 10 hours of a coaching search.

 

Obviously, if something wild happens, IU has the ability to shift course at any point in time and make a beeline for someone.

 

At this point in time, we’re told IU wants a more thoughtful, thorough process that includes letting Parker do background on a number of candidates.

 

No contract offers have been made. There are no secret deals with any coaching candidate.

 

As Brian Snow reported in his note earlier today, Indiana athletic director Fred Glass is following through on his promise to reach out to basketball people in this state and get their feedback, and he is doing it personally.

 

So, again, Indiana is in the information gathering stage, as things stand right now, and will proceed from there.
 

Classic Rabjohns/Peegs stuff.  Saying a lot without saying anything at all.

They're clearly big believers in the phrase "Never let a crisis go to waste" as evidenced by their current 3 months for the price of 1 special going on now.
