New Assistant Coach Hire Candidates

Recommended Posts


My jealousy of the success is apparent.

UK sweeps in and steals their guy. Indiana consistently doesn’t.

That would of been a hard to convince him to leave Cuse. First question I would of asked if I was griffin would of been why not bring me along the first time around from Dayton. Griffin just bought a house and relationship with his college coach was going to be hard to overcome. Griffin and another guy unnamed guys were their first choices. UK could steal anyone’s guy probably if they wanted to unfortunately for IU. His best friend who he apparently talks to everyday just happened to be on IU’s staff

All true. All fair.

Doesn’t take away from my point. Admitted it was jealousy. Some programs get it done. Others make excuses. We have been the latter for a long time.

I’ll try to find the article. But Archie was actually told him if Boheim calls him he has to take the job. That’s his dream spot, Archie knows that, and he knows that. No blame on either side for that decision.

No idea if he would be interested, but he’s an excellent coach, and if the usual pissing and moaning that we “have to get an IU guy” followed, they could try to convince people that they just hired Collin Hartman.

If he came to IU it would be his tenth stop in 24 years.  Lots of one-year gigs.  NCAA assistants live out of suitcases but this is a lot.

Fair question: 

1) He was mediocre at best in his only college gig at Bama—he undoubtedly did not enjoy the experience.

2) He has never been a college assistant coach, nor is there any indication that he would ever consider a relatively low paying position as a college assistant who would be spending his next few years visiting and texting 16 year olds.THE GUY HAS A NET WORTH OF $20 million!

That’s a long way down for a former NBA coach of the year. I am certain that at age 55 he does NOT want to be watching AAU games and pretending to be fascinated by a teenager’s cousin/handler.

3) He has no recruiting ties in the Midwest or East coast.

4) In the past 15 years he has solely been a head coach. 

5) He has no relationship with Archie Miller.

6) As much as I love IUBB, I am well aware that veteran NBA head coaches are not in any way interested in being second or third banana in Bloomington.

Other than that...

 

 

He's also completely out of the coaching game and wasn't a bad recruiter at Alabama and can relate guys and knows what it takes to move to the NBA. Obviously it's a far fetched idea, but he'd be a great candidate, even if it were just a stepping stone for him to get back into coaching on any level.

So ... what the heck?

We should be hearing some good rumors by now. Apparently Griffin would have been the choice; with him out of the mix, what (realistic) options are in the mix or on the table?

I wonder if they will end up getting someone and not sign them until end of September.  With dead periods and all.  Mike Roberts took a lot longer than people wanted last time.  I don’t think we really heard a ton about him until the end.

Word on Twitter is Kenya Hunter.  Seems to have some legitimacy.  Seems like a solid hire at first glance.

Very solid hire if true. 

A few interesting things about Coach Hunter:

  1. His time at NC State overlapped with Archie's = personal Archie connection
  2. His addition coincided with greatly improved recruiting at both Nebraska and UConn
  3. His son just had a 10.0 mpg freshman season as a point guard at Old Dominion
  4. He is a big man specialist, and has many NBA bigs that he has mentored.

All good things.

Was also on Sean Miller’s staff at Xavier. I’m a fan of Dan Hurley. The pedigree is pretty unassailable.
