Brad Stevens is scouting in Nashville.  Meanwhile, a plane has arrived in Nashville from Bloomington. 

But Kathyc said planes didn't matter today?!

If Indiana doesn’t make the dance. I’m personally expecting an NBA announcement whether it be a Brad Stevens or Billy Donovan. Maybe throw Jay Wright in there, that announcement would be Monday-Wednesday of next week.

If Indiana makes the dance, we’ll find out the following week. 

I’d say it’s Brad Stevens / Jay Wright / Billy Donovan. Ben McCollum will go to Iowa. Brownell I don’t believe is a serious candidate despite media rumblings. At least he shouldn’t be a serious candidate. I’d be absolutely shocked if he was the guy. 

Yea, I agree with you! I can’t see Dolson hiring brownell or taking a chance on McCollum considering how badly they need to get this hire right. I would be thrilled with any of those three you mentioned.

If it's not Brad Stevens or Jay Wright then I hope not!  If its a current coach, we want someone who will go deep in the tournament, so we won't find out until hopefully "that coach" is finally knocked out.

Word on the street is Brad is looking at a private school in Nashville that’s a girls soccer powerhouse.

 

He determined that Nashville is just a few more minutes down the road from his house in the Center Grove area.

Eh, Florida does have the 40th and 47th ranked prospects according to NBA.com's big board. Maybe he's scouting them...?

If no tourney, I’m anticipating a Monday-Wednesday announcement IF the new head coach is not a current men’s college basketball head coach.

He's leaving Boston to be our new GM under NIL, so maybe he's there scouting Todd Golden? (tongue-in-cheek)

Lighten up Francis. 

You really don’t think you’d potentially warm up to your Purdue roots if they wanted to pay you allegedly anywhere from 66-90M? I mean, cmon… lol

Not if ILL offered 67-91M

It better be Brad Stevens, Billy Donovan, or Jay Wright then.........not unless it's like a Chris Collins, Josh Schertz type who didn't make the tournament.

[Home Jersey]

Wow... such resilience and mental fortitude. Admirable. 

 

[Asha’man]

My dream scenario is Bruce Pearl. I’d be happy with Stevens but Pearl is the guy for me.

Chris Collins was a hot name in the Archie search, wore off in the Woodson search. I don’t think we want him. 

Josh.. I don’t know. I don’t know if he’s ready for Indiana yet. I’d argue the same for Ben McCollum. We’re a different beast as you can tell by the 2,000 pages of thread discussion.

Yeah, I wasn't necessarily pining for them......just saying if it's before the start of the tourney, it's either a retired coach, NBA linkage, or someone who didn't make the tournament.

Now if Darian Devries doesn't get West Virginia in, and doesn't take the Iowa job.......I would take him in a heartbeat!  If we don't get the white whale or Jay Wright of course!
