General Coach Candidate News

[Ron Mexico 291]

It’s getting to the point of Richard Pitino exciting me.  Let’s get Slick Rick to coach 3-4 years and Jr. can be waiting in the wings.

Isaac, I'd love this to be true....but man, you've burned yourself.  You're not credible anymore.  I wish you were but you're not.  That's not me attacking you, it's "The Boy Who Cried Stevens" .... there was the March 2 @ 3pm, there was "Osterman is about to break the news" followed by "just kidding" ..... 

I would love for this to be true, but your money's no good here anymore.  

Not to defend IT here but both the assertions you mentioned were pretty obviously laughable at the time they were posted. On more substantial matters the jury is mostly still out.

"Excuse me, Mr Brownell? Yeah....You DONT want to take that job.....just consider it advice from someone who wants you and your family to remain healthy and happy. Capice?"

I don’t think Brownell is being considered.  I think his name is being thrown out there to divert attention.

That is kind of what I am clinging to.  I can't remember which hiring it was, but a few back all the sudden Lon Kruger's name came out and he was the leading candidate for the job and then it ended up going in a totally different direction (and people flipped out about it being him too).  I think (hope) Brownell is this year's Lon Kruger.  That meh pick that is out there as a smoke screen so everybody is like "Oh lord, not him" and whoever is picked is a sigh of relief...."Well, we'll see how it goes with "X" but at least it wasn't Lon Kruger (Brad Brownell)....."

Maybe some would however others like myself can just sit back and watch it unfold without yearning for anyone because IU will be hiring an actual college basketball coach this cycle 

Not all college basketball coaches are created the same, clearly.

Brad will hold off on telling Boston staff he is leaving until IU is out of tournament. Dolson and brad agreed it's not fair to the current players to make a distraction during the run. As I said earlier day after we are out we will make the announcement the following morning. Brad will also be in person for announcement. My guess is it gets leaked to shams night or early morning and he will release to public assuming dolson doesn't leak it before then. For those who love flight tracking look for flights to the night or very early am after we lose.

I’m somewhat new here so excuse my ignorance. I am fairly sure a few weeks ago you said it would be announced on March 2 and 3:00 on Fox Sports?

Yep.  Everyone thought Lon was on a plane from Vegas to Bloomington and then we announced Crean.

Just watched and gave a coach with 0 college basketball coaching experience as the head of the program for 4 years a chance  I will take my chances on whichever college basketball coach the AD chooses and give him a shot

I mean yeah, what other choice do you have? I'm not sure moving on from Woodson and striking out on everybody just to hire Brownell is the consolation prize you think it is just because he has college basketball experience.

I would take Brownell all day everyday over Woody and it’s not particularly close so I’m fine with however this turns out

Ayo.  Different strokes for different folks.  Might need to watch yourself when you go to the bathroom.  Tell him we need to up his lady of the night game for recruits.  NIL has really upped the price of your every day hooker.  And we need better quality than Louisville.

While I agree, Cronin tells us no. IMO.
