How about a whale...

Is the distinction that a whale is not a fish, or even a BIG FISH, important?

How can we announce golden boy mccollum when he is still coaching

They do it in football all the time. Then we hear the coach is not going to coach the bowl name or is. Not predicting, but not unheard of when regular season done.

Man if we can’t / don’t get Stevens . I would be so FREAKING pumped to get Bill Self for 4-5 years . 
 

I think he’d come to IU with a chip on his shoulder about the way Kansas has treated him this year after winning two titles there .

A couple of Big Ten titles and possibly a Final Four run or two in 5 years . Then I bet once we were back in the National picture that little mass hole would be begging to come home !! Lol

I’ve heard he may not be thrilled with KU’s big push with football — those are resources not going to bball.

I don’t think he’s likely at all, but he may be worn out with KU… he has been there forever and eventually things get old.

Any coach too dumb to not understand the power of football is not one that I want.

Can you win a title with him? Sure…he puts together good teams that are athletic and play pressure defense and wear on you for 40 min. But he needs to get lucky in the draw. Teams with good guards who can handle their pressure and/or make it a game off half court offensive execution send him packing every year. And he’s basically been a 1 seed the last four years so you would expect them to make the S16.

They would have given UConn everything they wanted had Shead not gotten hurt in the S16 against Duke last year.

In Woodsons mind he has done a great job. But what he doesn’t get is he is not competing against the big boys. He does a good job of eating the cupcakes though. 

The weird thing is, he can beat Izzo and Painter, but not Collins or Hoiberg.

Bulls are in NBA purgatory.  Reinsdorf sucks.  

Being a fan of two teams he owns is so incredibly frustrating.  Throw IUBB on top of that and you've got one unhappy sports fan.

Here's the problem with Donovan. Same reason UK moved on from him last year. He won't do anything until Bulls season ends.

Welp, time to speculate who would be a big fish. A whale is a mammal so Stevens is out.

sTurgeon?

That's a hell of a list.  I'm still going to temper my expectations and am expecting a mid major guy.  Appreciate all your info though.

So here's a question; is Self slowing down? How would we feel about Bill Self? Call me crazy, but I'm leery of him compared to the others on that list. Confident in Few, but IU would be a much bigger job than he's used to doing.

Think Stevens and Donovan would be obvious home runs. 

I see absolutely ZERO incentive for Bill Self to ever coach again once his time at Kansas is up. Has nothing left to prove and has health issues.

Ap said big fish, not minnow; if Turgeon even qualifies as a minnow.
