If it gets to that level, we know where Indiana Basketball stands, a meh job with blue blood expectations.

Cignetti had a lot of experience at the high major level as a player and coach before becoming a head coach. He was on the staff for Saban that landed the Hightower/Jones class, he was also QB coach for NC State and recruited Philip Rivers.

 

Ok fair enough I guess I was just looking at it from a winning at every stop perspective

Anyone know why Michael Lewis was that the game this past weekend?

Patching things up with Luke Recker?

There is an article on ESPN.com but I could only read a little bit of it because it is behind a paywall. The main thing was where are all the big time coaches. It was talking about why Indiana other big time programs are having trouble getting top tier coaches to come to their schools. Also said if Texas and Villanova comes open they probably will have the same problem.

I think the McCollum love is more coping than anything. And the general thought of wanting him over brownell

Not me I would take him above most of the candidates besides Stevens and a couple of others.

Exactly. I get some just love mccollum but if we can only hire a guy with one year of d1 experience that shows how far we have sunk.

Kentucky hired a guy 12 months ago with 0 NCAA tournament wins. That's just where college basketball is now.

Well, if we’re being objective here, we did just can a coach that had zero D1 experience, so there’s that.

Maybe but some have convinced themselves he is not the next archie and winning at d2 is just winning period and will translate. There is a far better chance he fails than succeeds when you look at the history of these hires.

Fair point, they also hired a former player similar to Woodson at Indiana. Duke and UNC hired former players. I do think that's not discussed enough in terms of college basketball coaching changes nowadays. Folks are retiring and the new era is upon us.

When will Brad need a haircut? Should we start surveying the barbershops?

I will be glad when this is search is done. Not only because I want a coach in place, but I’m tired of laughing like a fourth grader and confused too often by references to BS and BM. 

Agreed. And the cryptic references are getting a little old. 

My mind is too addled to figure out the relevance of how a meme from an "insider" pertains to the status of the coaching search. 

At this point, I need an IU version of the Enigma machine...LOL

Louisville hired a mid major coach last cycle that hasn’t won a tournament game as well

IU has 1 winning conference record in the last 9 years but somehow people believe IU should be able to pull sitting power 5 coaches that have things rolling at their current school.  Times have definitely changed

Going from D2 to the head coach of the Indiana Hoosiers in 2 years. That would be a hire.. 

Some of us on here would’ve been fine hiring him straight from D2 last go around.

With a boatload of cash. Don't forget about the money.

It's the only thing that has kept Woody barely afloat.

Rabby just posted this…

So, since it keeps being discussed, I walked it up several ladders once again, the Brad Stevens stuff, and I was given a very hard wave off, on multiple fronts. I was told this by one person: “Rabby, you’re embarrassing yourself by asking around.”
