I can't see this Crown tournament actually taking place. Players, coaches and fans want to wait another 3 weeks to watch, play or coach a team that they probably couldn't wait to be done with? I'm sure the ratings will be stellar. Starting at center for Indiana is 6' 5" Jordan Rayford. And at PG is some guy named Craig that IU found at the upstairs pub last night.

That actually sounds like a hilarious thing to watch. If the tournament occurs, it won't be nearly that much fun ha.

Search firm does a lot more than just interviews. Background checks, setting up PR, vetting assistants different things like that

Just seems like they would work hand in hand more.  Maybe they are and I am not following along closely enough.  Not the first time I haven't paid attention.

This hire better be brad cause I fear almost anyone else we hire will be bad. I am officially doom and gloom until I see a reason not to be. We need a splash hire for instant juice. A reason to pack the hall for hoosier hysteria. Not some mid major hot shot imo

I’d like for it to be Brad also but if not, I just hope we get a good coach. I would find excitement to see a guy like McCollum step up to the big leagues and succeed and create his own culture and make IU his masterpiece.

Hmmmm.  The "someone just as big" is both intriguing & concerning.  Wasn't it Jerry who posted with a capitolized Few?  On the other hand it could be anyone and they're trying to pimp up that coach.

Whatever the case, it HAS been an impressively run search.

He's 59. Indiana could get 10 or so years out of him, I wouldn't complain about that at all.

Not complaining at all.  But he's 60 and been out of the game a decade.  Not anywhere near Stevens territory.  But yes I'd be happy.

If you want inconsistency, Collins is the guy. It doesn't matter how down the ACC is, he made the elite 8 and his computer rankings still have him top 20 both seasons regardless of how down the ACC is. Brownell has equaled Rick Barnes at Clemson.

He hasn’t equaled Rick Barnes at Clemson at all. Barnes went to the NCAA tournament three times in four years, including to a sweet 16. Brownell before last year was at three times in 13 years, including just twice in his first ten years. Took him until year 8 to win a tournament game. He was at Clemson a decade longer than Barnes before he passed him in tournament appearances… That’s not equaling him. It’s great for him that he made the elite eight last year, but he’s still been a bucket of mid at Clemson.
