Tough defense, crash the boards. Consistently one of the worst perimeter shooting teams in the country 

Yeah, I HATE how they play offensively. I used to hate watching his Marquette teams play as well for the same reason. 

I wouldn't like Buzz for the same reason that I wouldn't like the Leprachaun. They can be really ugly offensively.

With IU's record of coaching hires he'd have another chance in 4 years when his daughter is in college. Of course then he'd be 52 and too old for some on this board.

As a divorced parent of 2, I understand the parenting side as far as what’s best for your family. But as my kids got older and ones in college and another will be next year, the decisions or jobs I would talk to changed, etc. If this is something he wants knowing she’s going to be in college in 1-2 years, I think you figure it out. Just sayin’ 

Yeah, I’m not buying this is the big reason. I don’t know their family dynamics but if Stevens said, I really want to coach at IU, but hey, you have another 1.5 years of HS left, so I’ll stay if that’s what you want. I gotta admit, I’d be disappointed if my daughter said, then we are staying. Not saying kids aren’t a factor. Just saying I don’t believe that is THE factor.

Only Iowa can answer that.  Not any different than IU going after May.  I think it's pertinent to the IU search which is why I pose the question.  

It makes little sense that we appear to be playing second fiddle to Iowa for these candidates.

Dolson never ceases to amaze - Harper is the ultimate wild card in the coaching search.

Allegedly that’s what happened the last time, but with a family vote.

But didn't he feel he was snubbed to be Coach K's heir apparent and one of the reasons he left Duke?   Heat at Duke following K couldn't be that much different than heat at IU following Woodson.

I think he realized Coach K wasn't going to retire anytime soon and he didn't want to wait any longer for a head coaching gig so he took the NW job.  

That’s how I remember it. Collins was basically K’s right hand man and presumed heir apparent, but decided he didn’t want to wait around any longer. He was still considered the odds on favorite if K retired for a little while. But eventually Scheyer worked his way into K’s position as heir.  
 

Interesting that they all three are from Chicago. Obviously K played for Knight and the other two for K. Pretty decorated guards, smart guys.  All seem relatively close knit. Of course, the other guy in that little group was Wojochowski and he hasn’t worked out. Capel is another one.

We would be lucky to get either DeVries or McCollum lol

The tweet from Coaching Changes (who are super plugged in and usually have stuff early) says that they have heard it is contracted. Meaning it’s already signed and done and the daughter stuff is not an issue if it’s Brad.

Two kids involved then. And I’m not saying it’s not a factor. I’m just saying I doubt that everything else lined up and his daughter, with all of a year and a half of school left, had veto power.

Also this account typically is very good about clarifying how many sources and the quality of those sources. They say this one is “unimpeachable”. If this person has heard it is contracted already, that would make me very excited.
