Welcome Coach Miller

Bennett or Collins would be lovely.

Seems like Alford is far more likely!

It's one thing if Billy Donovan didn't want to come back to the college game. It's another if our administration wasn't will to pay him an extra million a year or something like that. That would be unacceptable.

I'm thinking more along the lines that they (the 247 guys) were just making it up as they go.

I don't understand why guys that are suposedly connected would want to talk in absolutes. If you don't really know then don't act like you do.

Yeah I don't understand how you pretty much go from "billy Donovan is a done deal and there will be a press conference this week" to "yeah billy isn't coming" something has to give

Exactly. Things don't go from done deal to not happening in 24 hours.

BtownInsider on 24/7 is probably Hoosier Guy lmao

Wasn't Fife the one who fouled Jay Williams on that 4 point play at the end of the 2002 Sweet 16 game? NEXT!

He'd argue that was a bogus call

[HooHooHoo22]

I'm not saying the rumor that he's not coming is false. But 1 of the rumors has to Be false lol. He can't come and go at the same time

Archie Miller please!

[Adillac]

For the sake of positivity....I will refer back to Glass's comments and the impression I got from the presser- that IU/Glass are swinging for the fence and will do their utmost to make that happen. 

[Trish]

I'm not so high on Bennett especially after that 37 point performance the other night. 

 

[VO5]

Yeah 0708 just lost a lot of credibility. Things don't change that fast. I've been preparing for a hire that isn't BD for a few days though. If it's Mack or Alford I'm done. I can give any other coach on our list a shot. 

[NCHoosier]

Kent Sterling in the Fife corner for those that feel he's a good source.

Not saying he thinks he's coming, just that he thinks he may be the best hire.

[mdiu28]

BtownInsider saying nothing has changed with him. 

Who the heck knows..

[Hoosier82]

I really don't think anyone knows if the Athletic Department is doing their due diligence.  How many knew about Sampson or Crean being hired except right before the announcement?  There was talk of Tony Bennett and Archie Miller on the Illinois boards right up to the announcement of Brad Underwood.

This remind me of the famous paradox "Schrodinger's Coach".  Simultaneously a done deal and not interested.

Again, there was never anything definitive about a press conference this week.  It was a maybe more than anything even from the posters most optimistic about Donovan.

Which was a bold move on his part because if they do swing for the fence and have to "settle" then it looks really bad on our blue blood self image. 

[A.j. Nigh]

I'm not much more than a lurker on both boards but fwiw 0708 was adamant Crean was gone when media "insiders" said he wasn't, and if my memory serves, came out with "he's gone" minutes before it broke on twitter last Thursday.   For full disclosure , I want Donovan.
