I have no idea what the Crown is. Does that take place in England? Do I get fish n chips for watching? F*ck the Crown. Let's hire BS and shock the CBB world

It's a new tournament, the top 2 teams from the Big Ten that don't make the NCAA tournament are required to go.  It takes place in Vegas starting 3/31.

If it came to it yes iu might announce day before portal opens for said reason. but correct me if im wrong the portal opens after the second round starts and iu isn't going that far

Correct but other coaches (including one who IU Hires) could still be coaching.

I’d prefer Ben

Since I’m too dumb to figure it out, how about somebody setting up a new poll:

 

We had a poll over who we would be happy with as the next coach - how about a new poll for who we think the new coach will ACTUALLY be. Let’s see who wins and who gets the closest.

If Brownell took Indiana to the elite 8 last year and had them in the top 10 this year, how would you feel? I'm not saying I would be doing cartwheels for BB, I definitely would not, but if we're comparing Brownell, Collins, etc. You don't have to squint to see the case for Brownell the past 2 seasons.

Brownell's career is a lot more Woody and Archie at IU than it is Elite 8.  I would rather take a flyer on a mid major up and comer than settle for 20-12 bubble....again.

I’d love Scott to completely cut them off.  Maybe find a reason to sue them to force them to shutdown their NIL grift — everyone can go to Hoosier Connect.  They are so bad for IU.

This guy literally just repeats things he sees on message boards. He is not an insider. He has no special knowledge of the coaching search. He’s a Peegs subscriber and posts there often.

Connor Essigian anyone? Yeah he doesn't know anything. 

[Chris007]

This is why I keep saying this is the best search I have ever been around. Today I have had two people tell me it's Collins

Another buddy sent me McDermott done deal, I also got a McCollum done deal

I got a not Stevens but someone just as big

Last night was told the hire has been made since March 1st

Spoke to an agent who said that Drew and May couldn't get an interview because Dolson already had his guy at the end of Feb.

I love this but ready for it to be over.

Thought we were rollin with 3/17?

Honestly...with 3/17 being a day after brackets are announce...if we're going to hire an underwhelming coach...it would be buried in all the bracket talk...so that would be ideal...however...I'm hopeful for a big name coach that would make a splash when announced...so that would likely be after 3/17....

It always comes down to $$$$$.

ESPN has the rights to the NIT so……

Fox, which covers BT, BE and Big 12 teams, has dreamed up the 16 team Crown single elimination tourney in Vegas. There will be teams in the tourney from the three conferences they televise during the season. It’s a blatant play for cash but I assume the interest level will be low. Real low.

Collins?

McDermott?

McCollum?

Stevens Alternate?

March 1st hire/bigger than May & Drew?

We had a missed opportunity to have a reality show with a big reveal. The ratings on BTN would have been incredible...

10 days from today if nothing is announced I think so people may have signs outside Scott’s office

Especially with the portal.  If I am a player and I have no intention of being at my school, I have zero desire to stick around for several more weeks for a tournament nobody gives two ***** about.
