I bet whoever turns out to be coach their mailman will probably know before hand. A change of address will be put in and probably they will put their mail on hold before the move. When u control the mail u control information (Newman voice)

So, you're saying Karl Malone will know before the rest of us? *mind blown*

Wont be Fife or Alford. Will be Donovan or someone in the Bennett- Marshall range or someone completely out of the blue like Bill Self.

What possible motivation could Bill Self have to consider leaving KU for IU? Let's see: I think I'll leave a current (and all time) blue blood program, where I have become a very wealthy legend and easily win my overrated conference every year and always have a team capable of a deep tourney run, for a used-to-be blue blood. A program that is clearly currently a level down from where I am, plays in tougher conference, and has an even more demanding fan base than the one in Lawrence (which already loves me).

I'm all for thinking big, but some of this stuff is a bit loco ... :)

At this point he coaching search is taking a back seat to which occupation has the most reputable scoop in Bloomington... so far we have:

Air traffic control

Dayton Security Guard

Chiropractor

Realtor

Tanning Salon assistant

Ladies of the evening (jersey chasers)

My guess is a priest will be next- Billy's wife stopped off for confession...

Puh-leeese. What would you expect a statement to say that would give you confidence? 

That statement is completely neutral as to very much of anything.

Paragraph 1: We wish them well.

Paragraph 2: We did right by them when they were here.

Paragraph 3: Our UVA staff tries to do things well.

Him not releasing a statement is what would give me confidence that he is indeed a candidate. 

I.M.O. this is what I would expect ^^^

I raise you this:
2013–14 Tony Bennett 30–7 16–2 1st NCAA Sweet Sixteen
2014–15 Tony Bennett 30–4 16–2 1st NCAA Third Round
2015–16 Tony Bennett 29–8 13–5 2nd NCAA Elite Eight
2016–17 Tony Bennett 23–11 11–7 T–5th NCAA Tournament
That's 30 losses in the last four years (IU has had 53). And that's at a school with a limited budget and history, and UNC, UL, and Duke in their conference.  
That is big time.
 



But what about the deflections?

LOL. When your team values the basketball on offense, screens for cutters, moves without the ball, and plays incredible positional and help defense, there aren't deflections by the coach...just lots of wins. Those are the deflections you were referring to, right?

I know some of us don't like Bennetts offense but at least with him as a coach, we will actually get to witness basketball plays being ran.  We may not get out coached every game either.  I'm all for Billy but Bennett at IU doesn't hurt my feelings as I enjoy fundamental bball vs turnover after turnover.

It is still "outcoached" when your system does not defeat another system, or lack of a system.

Well he nailed the Crean firing when the majority of people were saying Crean was coming back.


After flip flopping between 9 and 74 times. They had a 50/50 shot and some even got it wrong. I could've done that and gotten myself some totally fake credibility too. Woo.
