Operating on the basis of Billy Donovan being a pipe dream, PTI just means the rumors are beyond message boards IMO not that there is a legit chance, I'd be thrilled with either of:

Bennett

Marshall - I don't give a crap if he has a temper, and he's a definite upgrade from Crean

I'd be disappointed because I'd prefer to see more but willing to give them chance:

Holtmann

Miller

White

I want no part of Alford or Mack or Collins or Cronin or Altman.

Don't think Sean Miller is a total pipedream..AZ to IU is at very worst a lateral career move, but in a lot of ways it is a step up. He could make more money at IU and his recruiting wouldn't dip at all, and in fact could even improve. He would have the same success if not more and be on national TV more often as the Pac12 has a terrible TV contracts compared to the B1G. Arizona is not UK or UNC or KU or Duke. It isn't on that level. I'm not saying he will or that he ought to, just saying that just because he has been there several years, is making 4.8m and recruits well doesn't mean he wouldn't be interested in 6.5m and more exposure with equal or better facilities, budgets, and easier access to midwest recruits.

Just listened to pretty much every IU podcast possible from the last 2 days and here is my conclusion. If our search last until mid next week our guy is Billy D. There seems to be a thing about us not wanting to wait if it really could happen. Sorry but Billy D could gladly do 2 jobs for a few weeks. It would honestly help him when it came to his OKC team a lot and us knowing who the guy is. If Billy D is thinking of leaving then his heart isnt truly in it. Him accepting the job and finishing up he knows he has no pressure and that is a great situation in the NBA. Most these guys feel like they have to do this or that to keep their job sides the Spoelstras and Popovichs and Stevens who are easily the top 3 guys in the NBA. Scott Brooks is pretty safe too as well as Lue. Besides that the NBA is a revolving door. I saw a stat today that most 1st time coaches in the last 20 years have lasted 3.2 years lol. That is a lot of coaches in that span. Him coming here in the offseason means he can afford not to be here everyday either. He could call a few kids and plan on visits to come watch them in a few weeks. Come Monday he could be 3 weeks from his season ending. If we wait that long as is there is no reason we cant wait at least another week or two if he is our guy.
