General Coach Candidate News

[JSHoosier]

I'm about as excited about Devries as I was Miller. I won't be shocked if we're here again in 4 years.

Everybody at WVU is upset at losing him.  That should tell you something, because it's not always the case. 

Iowa also wanted him above McCollum.  He will get a chance to prove it on the court.  Not the sexy hire but a good coach.

I like him more than McCollum 

I would take McCollum over him. McCollum in one year has had a better record then he ever did at Drake.

Can we officially NEVER mention Brad Stevens on this board again?

Would there be a way to treat it as a profanity so it would automatically asterisk his name when used?

Guessing Osterman's tweet was the only real smokescreen of the search.

Theres a smoke screens and then there's a flat out lie.

An average coach should thrive with our NIL, woody was a bad coach. Let’s see what he can do 

[AH1971]

How many “insiders” mentioned DeVries name once in the last 6-8 weeks? lol 

[WayneFleekHoosier]

If this is True.   Dolson had no real plan in place.  Or he got shot down by everyone.  No way he Waits on DeVries until tournament is over if he was in tournament.  

This is the most ultimate of settle hires.  But it adds up.

Devries is fine, but we only get his son for one year… and first year of a “rebuild” at that

What do you think NIL is there for????  Everyone is rebuilding every year!

Just look at Drake's 6 seasons, prior to Devries getting there.  Then he rattles off 6 straight years winning at least 21 games every year at Drake.  Turns around a West Virginia team that was 9-23 last year in his first year!  This guy can flat out coach and could be locked in for the next 20 years.

Or could be fired in 4

Drake was never down before McCollum got there because....

If true:

Sounds like it could be Dolson had his list and whiffed.  The search firm came up with DD and that's what we got.

Meh.

Did they deal with injuries to a top player?

I get it. I’m fine with the hire. 
 

His record isn’t go do much for most. Yes, IU was without Reneau , our leading scorer, for a stretch. Yes IU beat MSU on the road and Purdue at home…equal to any wins WVU had. 
 

I think the turn around he did shows a promising young coach. But he’ll need to step it up big time at IU. Just like Archie needed to but failed to do. It is what it is.  
 

I really like his kid as a player and hope he comes

Did we pick the wrong Bulldog?!
