realTomCrean Posted March 12 Posted March 12 4 minutes ago, iu2win said: IF IU is truly at the McCollum/Brownell level, I still think Chris Collins would be the better gamble. Collins learned under Coach K at duke and has risen Northwestern from obscurity to respectable; which is really saying something give it is . . . well, Northwestern basketball. When looking back at the most successful teams Collins has built there he certainly has not had the benefit of top recruits. His best teams were exactly that, TEAMS that share the ball and run the offense Chris asks of them. I think Chris is a very good X and O guy and given the NIL at IU I think he could do very well and perhaps even surprisingly well. Respectable coach and guy from the outsider perspective but that's a big no thank you go iu bb, IUguy77, ALASKA HOOSIER and 1 other 3 1
coonhounds Posted March 12 Posted March 12 Can a mccolum come to Indiana and get 5 star players or recruit at a high level day 1? Cause that is what iu needs desperately.

Every coach has done it before. How do you think Ballo, Rice, and Tucker wound up at IU? It wasn't because of Woody's coaching. They went to the highest bidder. thebigweave and theriverpilot 2

Not to say that you just hire the best X&O guy, but that roster building, managing egos, philosophy, adaptability, etc. are more important, I think. Hoosier Roots and coonhounds 2

If hired, I'd like him, or whomever is hired, to bring some high IQ basketball players with him. Maybe a "dawg" or two coonhounds, thebigweave, GloryDays and 1 other 4
HoosierDevils Posted March 12 Posted March 12 (edited) 18 minutes ago, AZ Hoosier said: paywall...summarize? Zach Osterman describes these mid major coaches: Jerrod Calhoun (Utah St), Alan Huss (High Point), Ben McCollum (Drake), Bucky McMillan (Samford), Niko Medved (Col St), and Ryan Odom (VCU). I will say I was not terribly familiar with Medved but cool that he basically built three programs -- Furman from scratch, Drake was 7-24 the season before he arrived, and now basically from scratch at CSU. The crux of the article, though, is pretty basic -- there's some very good mid major coaches but the question mark for all is can you handle expectations, donors, alums, preferences for recruitment & style of play, big personalities, etc. Edited March 12 by HoosierDevils AZ Hoosier, MikeRoberts, theriverpilot and 1 other 2 2

Demo Posted March 12 Posted March 12 19 minutes ago, AZ Hoosier said: paywall...summarize? Weird, it opened for me no problem. Summary of the usual mid-major suspects: Calhoun, Huss, McCollum, McMillan, Medved and Odom. Nothing terribly enlightening but a nice primer for those who don’t live and breathe this stuff. Based purely on the inflection of it, Zach seems to like Medved a bit.

NVFalcons1990 Posted March 12 Posted March 12 I do think a name that we aren't talking about is Alan Huss at High Point.....Now 57-14 at High Point, from Decatur Illinois, he's only 46 years old, played with Doug McDermott at Creighton 1997-2001 then worked under Dana Altman 6 years at Creighton. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_Huss theriverpilot and GloryDays 2
