General Coach Candidate News

[HoosierInParadise]

I look at it this way. He’s either a done deal or it’s not happening. I don’t think he is still mulling it over. So until we hear the announcement, I’ll play the hopeful game that they are just waiting for the right time. But I’m not going to be disappointed if it’s not him unless we really settle on someone, say, because they are from Indiana.

I agree with this. I think it's done or we've moved on. Too little of chatter for me to think it's not already done.

I’ll give you McCollum and Brownell and I’ll take the field

BetOnline finally posted some Brad odds, +5000 right now, or 50/1 or 2%.

The folks with the Brad sources should like these odds!

Dang it may put$50 on it - never mind my previous requests on this board :)

Can anyone with info give any sort of explanation why we refuse to reach out to Will Wade?

@Demo did a good job of summarizing the answer to this very question earlier this week:

What did Wade do that was so bad? Just made a couple strong @$$ offers.  (Which is now legal).

And then got caught, lied to the school and to the NCAA investigators, hence the show cause, and then barely made any effort at all to appear contrite because he wasn’t. He’s an amoral POS and I don’t want him anywhere near a program I root for because he’s gonna get busted for something else, my guess in the current environment would be something academically related but it won’t shock me if it’s more along the lines of a Steve Alford/Pierre Pierce sort of thing if the player’s good enough.

Creighton looks very good. I can’t believe no one has been advocating for McDermott (dws @Uspshoosier) 

Liam looks very good too. Wonder how he would have done here. My guess is that he would not have had the freedom he has at UCONN

I would be happy with McDermott, that would be a solid hire that would have us ranked more often than not

I may have to go to the gulf coast and place a couple of bets on Pearl and Few

I will say that Brad hasn't ever been seen this many times out at college games in the past like he has the last couple weeks. 

Wants to show the new Celtics ownership that he's putting in the work...

[SlammySammy]

Nobody trending today. Interesting.

A lot of scouting for the Celtics D-League affiliate with where their picks are. That’s a dedicated team president.

Real time polling in Assembly Hall next year for play calls, subs, and timeouts.

Because the IU administration is filled with self-righteous do-gooders who care about looking self righteous instead of being an elite basketball program. What they fail to realize is no one cares and the broader collegiate basketball world sees the program as a joke.

I think a Pearl wager would be a good idea. You can give a hobo going into a liquor store the Few money and get a better return.

Within the last hour Trilly has said, “We continue to hear that Will Wade is still trying to get in at Indiana.” 
 

Who knows…

Tyme has been hinting that Wade wants the IU job. I think at least he’d like to drive his price up

What odds you giving? Thinks there's about a 10% chance - you give me 10 to 1?

I'm betting it's either Stevens or it isnt. You don't get anything but the opportunity to bet on your gut feeling

This answer. Plus we assume the show cause penalty and the risk that he has done anything else that due to the show cause penalty would result in major NCAA penalties.

Indeed. ;-)
