I'll take the X and O guy at IU because money is a pretty good recruiter. lillurk, go iu bb, P92 and 9 others 11 1

Hornsby Posted March 9 Posted March 9 Bronwell would be an awful hire. I'd rather take a risk on the next sure thing with one year of d1 experience.Sent from my SM-A146U using Tapatalk realTomCrean, SlammySammy, hoosierbannerd and 2 others 4 1

In fact I’d argue none of my visuals have been irrelevant. In fact I’ve tried to convey to the group what information I’ve been provided. Some post long missives to make their point. Totally fine. I prefer pop culture visuals to espouse mine.. Meh. You can never be wrong when you post things that are left to interpretation. MikeRoberts, FWA-EVV, IU Prof and 3 others 6

He wants the most clicks possible- more polarizing the info the better. I'm sure he heard those things but not from IU or someone in the know from our side. And couldn’t coaches currently playing have their agents lie so the focus isn’t on them while they are still playing. For instance Scott Drew says if anyone calls you deny because we are focused on making the tournament and don’t want to be a distraction DSUMMITT and tkbbn 2

It takes stones to take on any of those jobs, yet they can get winners. If the fans are too much, you weren't fit for the job anyway. And this job? This job is at the heart of a state that proudly touts itself as basketball country. This program rose to the pinnacle of college basketball, in basketball country, under a hard @$$ who didn't give or accept excuses and had skin thicker than leather. The expectation for this job was set 50 years ago and hasn't been met for 25 of them. The person who can withstand the scrutiny, block out the noise, and handle his s*** is the person we need on our sideline. That person cannot also be the same person who gets feelings hurt by rabid fans. So why did UK have to settle for Pope or UL for Kelsey 8bucks 1

Were the fans wrong to turn on the last two experiments? I was willing to give AM a go, MW should have NEVER been hired in the first place. SlammySammy 1

However, I would throw in a third important factor: A motivator. We've seen what happens to a coach with considerable X/O skills but zero motivational leadership a la Archie Miller. lillurk 1

He's been on the board since then but has not answered. While I don’t know how strong Road to Zion’s source is, at this point I am pretty confident that he is flat out predicting that Brad Brownell with be the next coach of the Hoosiers. That would be catastrophic, absolutely worst case scenario, IMO. SlammySammy 1

woodenshoemanHoosierfan Posted March 9 Posted March 9 Are we hoping Goodman is wrong or do we actually think it? I’m afraid he’s a little more plugged in than anyone would care to admit. I've been gone all day, what did he say?Sent from my SM-S908U using Tapatalk

Until somebody posts a definitive “done deal” all they’re sharing is the information they have at that particular snapshot in time. It has nothing to do with being right or wrong. “Right or wrong“ on this particular topic is very much fluid. Edited March 9 by Tony! Toni! Toné! mdn82, thebigweave, Hoosierfanyuh and 9 others 8 4
