Stuhoo Posted February 28, 2021 Posted February 28, 2021 I wonder if Lawrence Frank would get a sniff? Also, where are my NBA guys at? Who is the playing credibility NBA assistant coach who has an interest in a college job? pumpfake 1

Hovadipo Posted February 28, 2021 Posted February 28, 2021 I like Altman, but if they run basketball like they do football at UO, he’s very much allowed to play the game. He plays a fun style though. lillurk, Stuhoo and HoosierFan1994 3
Unexpectedflash Posted February 28, 2021 Posted February 28, 2021 I’ve seen people suggest Mark Pope from BYU around the internet so I decided to look him up. Definitely not my first choice but could be a nice fall back. Only two years at BYU but had a top 15 team last year and has another top 30 team this year. Won a title at Kentucky as a player.

rcbowla Posted February 28, 2021 Posted February 28, 2021 He asked for a list of 5-10 realistic candidates. Problem is that is an incredibly subjective lost for every individual and to get a collective agreed upon list of 10 on here would be damn near impossible. I went with names I remember seeing the most not the names I like. Sent from my Pixel 3a XL using Tapatalk woodenshoemanHoosierfan 1
MikeRoberts Posted February 28, 2021 Posted February 28, 2021 Does IU have any ties ti Scott Drew? With he and his family growing up in Indiana I can’t imagine there aren’t some relationships there that can be leveraged to gather interest from him without making anything public. I would give him a shot without hesitation. He restored Baylor much like Crean did IU but he has sustained it and actually still getting better every year

I think he is the best college coach out there that would make sense for him and IU

NOLA Hoosier Posted February 28, 2021 Posted February 28, 2021 Matta, Beard, Drew, in that order for me.

woodenshoemanHoosierfan Posted February 28, 2021 Posted February 28, 2021 Of that list I just made my top 3 in order would be1. Pearl2. Drew3. Matta Sent from my Pixel 3a XL using Tapatalk Hard no on PearlSent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk
AKHoosier Posted February 28, 2021 Posted February 28, 2021 I do not want Scott Drew. I've seen enough written/posted about him over the years that makes me want to stay away. The Hanner Perea deportation threat did not happen without his knowledge. I can't back that up with evidence, but I don't believe for a second their coaching staff wasn't doing whatever it took to get someone they saw as the next Ekpe Udoh. He's been at Baylor since Mike Davis was coaching at IU. He's never had a deep tournament run in that time, only having gone to the Elite 8 twice, and none since 2011/2012 season. If you remove his first 4 years, which seems reasonable given what he inherited, he's had double digit losses 9 times out of 14 seasons. Yeah he's doing well the last 2 years, but his resume does not indicate he's capable of the long-term success we all want. coonhounds 1

rcbowla Posted February 28, 2021 Posted February 28, 2021 Would Mark Jackson have any desire to coach college ball? Only tie is the Pacers. He would probably be a recruit magnet. Can't stand listening to him call games though.Sent from my Pixel 3a XL using Tapatalk HoosierDYT 1
