Someone please explain why Billy Donovan is a viable candidate his Bulls teams suck and how long has he been out of college coaching.

Would take McCollom or Devries over him all day.

Won back to back championships at Florida...I think he knows how to coach ...

Hes not

Billy D

Plus, hasn't Rick Pitino always talked positively about the IU job in general, and isn't Donovan close to Pitino? Not that it necessarily matters, but Donovan could see the IU job as a good one to have if he's going to go back into the college ranks.

I’d love Jay Wright, but wouldn’t he just go back to Nova? And if he hates NIL, this for sure ain’t the place

The fact that this has to be explained is extraordinary.

We need a big name. Imo to handle this job. Mid major or low name power conference dudes will get eaten alive

Is it panic time?

Man what the board going to be like if DeVries stays at WVU, McCollum goes to Iowa and this thing goes passed Thursday? LOL

There is more than 1 person. DD is so far down that list though especially considering he didn’t even make the tournament which is why this hire would be even possible right now. That is not going to instill a winning mentality in any fan. There is considerably better hires that would at least give a sense of winning, and not the fact they are sitting at home already like we are.

DD is at home because UNC's AD was the chair of the committee and season ending injuries, not because he didn't do a good job. He still won 10 more games this season than they did last, too.

Alright everyone, quote this comment with your pick for the "mystery candidate," whichever post gets the most votes is our new coach! lol

I have it all figured out.  Dolson said he was going to follow the Cignetti model for hiring the basketball coach.  The model was someone born in Pennsylvania in 1961.  Jay Wright.

I think the Donovan/Stevens detractors may not be old enough to remember them winning big at this level.

Maybe he hated the NIL at Nova.

People have been in panic mode for almost 2600 pages

I wouldn't be surprised if McCollum just stays at Drake for awhile because he just seems like he is just about coaching basketball. He might not want to deal with the other things involved with being a power conference coach. He could just be like Few and Randy Bennett staying at a mid major for his career.

One thing I've considered as well, It was a down year in the Big 12 this year, typically the best conference in America. He did okay for first year there, but I wonder how he would've done if it were a more normal year for the conference? 

It was not the best conference in the country but there were still four teams in the top 15 in KenPom and 7 in the top 30. That's not terrible, particularly when navigating it with zero returning players from the season before (minus one player that redshirted) and without your best/second best player.

Then the “our coach is still in the tourney” rumors go wild and we’re all back on the Bruce train.
