The guy is coaching a bunch of plumbers. He alluded to having to adapt to what he has. I’d like to see his offense with real talent. 

I can't argue against that, and get your point.  I am dreaming about getting bigger fish this go around.

Let's just hope we reached out to Brad Stevens, Jay Wright, Billy Donovan, Bill Self, Bruce Pearl or anyone else before we start talking about our plans to hire farther down the list a t coaches D, E, F, and G.

Ben to Iowa, Darian to Drake.

 

Devries leaving WVA after one year to go back to Drake where he was at previously, yeah I don't see that happening.

WVU to Drake would seem like a step back or laterial move at best.

And he left Drake for WVU.

Some interesting Non - IU related coaching search tidbits. Well maybe IU related.......... 

Texas A&M AD has started lining up a short list, believes their is a chance that Buzz could be dipping after the season (kind of his MO when you look at his resume) 

2 New names for Nova , Malik Allen (idk) and Steven Pickell ? What does that mean for Collins he just staying at NW ? 

Many people believe UVA has Odom locked into a commitment as soon as VCU is done. Didn't mention this but if that's the case I would imagine NC State makes a strong push for Wade unfortunately

Have you watched them? 

Yes I have watched them play against our Indiana State teams twice and Bradley in the regular season, as well as watching them in the conference tournament.

I also think they win at least 2 games in this tourney........It's just him lacking big boy Division 1 Final Four's, Elite Eight, and Championships on his resume.  All we have is his one year in a down Missouri Valley Conference to compare versus the rest.

100% need to speak to bigger fish first.

Awesome thanks for this.......checking it out now!

Drake plays a very slow pace of play -- as someone mentioned, 347th in pace.

In points per game, though, they were 277.  Given a 347th pace, that is very, very good.

Know what's even better?  They were first in points/game on defense.

And that pace is solely based on his roster this year.  He adapts to what he has … imagine that. 
 

He would’ve easily made tourney with IUs roster this year imo

Remember when you DM’d to try to find out what department I worked in so you could tell people above me that I’m on here. You should have been banned for that but I didn’t rat you out. So you can take a seat. 

That’s some serious paranoia. Asking a guy who regularly communicates he works at IU in a pm ( not on the open forum) what he does at the university deserves a ban? Honestly just curious if you worked in or near the athletic department. If you are doing something that is frowned upon that has ZERO to do with me.

And didn’t he leave Drake to go to WV?
