Here's where my head is currently at, as far as semi realistic options that I'd really be behind.:

1. McCollum- I have a feeling we'd regret not hiring him. By all accounts he is a basketball wizard, young enough, and he just wins ( Google him).. The next Bruce Pearl 

2. Pat Kelsey- Another young guy that I think would light a spark with the fan base, students, and players immediately. By all accounts he knows ball and how to win. Not sure he'd leave UL but I'd hope we'd go all out and have a chance. 

3. Todd Golden- What he has done at Florida is VERY impressive. He would do amazing at IU. 

4. Bucky McMillan- Bucky Ball. IYKYK. Would be fun as hell. 

Obviously by looking at my list I would like a young winner that understands today's game and could be with us for a long time. I want someone that builds their own legacy with us. Our guy...I'd choose that over realistic,solid options that we already have watched coach P5 teams (Buzz Williams, Mick Cronin, Chris Beard, McDermott, etc.)- We all know what we're getting with those guys, which is a solid coach. I'd rather gamble for greatness, jmo. 

 

 

Did you hear the podcast where McCollum is known to vanity search his name and go after people personally on social media that are critical of his coaching decisions?  Because if there is any truth to that, then I'm not sure he's going to enjoy coaching here and probably does need to go to Iowa.

I'd make Kelsey say no if you want him, his contract is junk and they haven't fixed it yet.

Golden probably doesn't need to make the move, and my guess if Florida pays him.

Bucky is someone if we got that many nos to get there it would be disappointing.

I really don't put much weight into podcast rumors. If he's on Dolsen's list, I'll trust that he will make the right decision after interviewing him. As far as Bucky, I agree somewhat. There are probably a couple others I should have put in front of him, I'm just a little tired and didn't feel like thinking too much on it right now lol. Go Hoosiers either way.

If the podcast thing is true it shouldn’t be hard to find out.  I can’t blame him though I’d probably do it too

What’s going on in the trilly chat? Saw someone say it’s going nuts right now?

It is. It's so bonkers it's hard to interpret.

A question for the group. Matthieu Ricard, a French Buddhist monk, is generally considered the “happiest person on earth.” If he attended a dinner party with Hornsby, Scotty R, and AH1971, what would happen? My guess is he’d be chugging cyanide inside 10 minutes.

or...

Tell us now knowers!

Can't believe I'm gettin clowned by a FartsMcGee. But hey, I pay a steep $0.00 for this site so I expect answers, dangit! 

Also, apologies to @Tony! Toni! Toné! for you leaving you out of the Knower list. I'm just a simple newbie still trying to learn the ropes. I'm sure I missed some others. I'll be better next time.

It wasn't really a rumor, this person was a Drake guy who had seen it telling the story from my understanding.   It wasn't even an IU podcast.
