Thad Matta OUT @ OSU

[Jeff_Boy_Ardee 1,311]

Starting to see rumors that Creighton is prepared for McDermott to leave and that Crean is a leading candidate to replace him at Creighton. Just rumors floating around the World Wide Web, but Creighton could actually be a good fit for him there. Have a good season every now and then, never expected to go on deep runs.

And return to IU for a Gavitt Tipoff game

Makes a lot of sense.

If that is what OSU can get then they are not a top 15 job. They are in bad shape currently but have the resources and location to do better than McD.

I was referring more to Crean to Creighton than McDermott to OSU. But both seem reasonable. McDermott isnt intimidating but he's a good coach.

Saw this tweeted out earlier.

Greg McDermott’s D-1 record w/out his son playing for him? 207-175. In-Conference record? 90-118.

4 tourneys in 12 years. 0-4 record.

Kind of a yawner really unless he has another kid.

[mdn82 25,467]

I am guessing they wanted him and found out recently he was interested

As an IU fan sounds like a great hire

[BGleas 7,880]

I don't think that's a terrible hire. It's not Donovan or someone like Jay Wright, but McDermott has had success at Northern Iowa and Creighton. He struggled in his only other Power 5 job (Iowa State), but he's done some great things in his other stops.

Whoops, disregard my previous post. Not good. 

[bnkepner 1,509]

This just keeps getting more and more odd. McDermott is an average coach. Doesn't blow me away and definitely doesn't scare me as an IU fan.

[schoosier 3,445]

McD a good choice for IU fans.

Just saw this on Twitter... McDermott turned tosu down... will stay at Creighton.

UPDATE: Greg McDermott tweeted Thursday that he is remaining with Creighton. http://es.pn/2r63cR6

The article also says that Fred Holberg told the Chicago Tribune that he plans to stay in Chicago with the Bulls.

Wow... I don't think O$U is a premier job but thought they could land McDermott. I would probably have O$U in the 5-7 range in the B1G.

"Tom Crean come on down."

[Stuhoo 76,333]

Chris Jent?
Mike Brown?

[Hardwood83 4,542]

Too bad for Crean, I think he'd be a good fit at someplace like Creighton. They care about basketball but not the pressure & expectations of IU. He could bring in the same level of players and do fine, IMO.
