Impressive only in his second year and had only 4 players stay his first year. Too early for the IU gig but could be outstanding in the years to come. Compelling guy. Fascinating to watch on the sideline. With the ball in play, I can’t think of a coach I’ve ever seen who interacts less with his bench. Stands 15’ up towards halfcourt with his hands on his hips or in his pockets and doesn’t talk to anyone. Never seen anything like it. I like what he’s done tonight better than last night. Last night they played several minutes of this wildly elastic matchup zone. They gave Milwaukee way too many gaps and really struggled with block out assignments because they were so aggressively stretching. Tonight’s they’ve been way more solid.

Not saying he does but if you see that a guy just relates well to players, coaches, the game comes easy to him, that’s a guy you go get if IU likes him but is worried he doesn’t have enough experience, don’t worry, UNC or Duke or someone will have no problem recognizing his talent if it’s there This is Gates' salary package at Cleveland St. https://www.crainscleveland.com/kevin-kleps-blog/new-cleveland-state-mens-basketball-coach-dennis-gates-gets-five-year-deal-max#:~:text=Cleveland State will give Gates,a student-athlete development coordinator. Curious if Gates would be interested in a $500-750K associate HC position under a Beilein-ish elder statesmen and then take the reigns. This idea will all go to waste when CSU makes the tourney, gets the annual 13 over 4 upset and takes a $2 mn/yr gig at BC or another small Power 5/Multi Bid Conference(A10/Big East/AAC) job. lillurk and Bowhunter 2

He was FSU’s top assistant already. Someone is gonna pop for him. Someone who will make him a P5 head coach. lillurk 1

Stuhoo Posted March 10, 2021 Posted March 10, 2021 Gates' team had a team GPA of 3.43 this year. Nine players made the Fall Academic Honor Roll. Eight made the Dean's List and one made the President's List. thebigweave and lillurk 2

His three point percentage drop 10% from his freshman to sophomore season. He's really hasn't bene much of a three point threat anyway -- he's only taken 59 in 55 games. But I think in a power 5 conference he's more likely to not be forced to play down low as much as he did at ISU.

Or most likely, with our luck, the following ... IU hires Enfield. He produces an Archie-like four seasons. Maybe we squeak into the NCAAs as a No. 10 seed in Year 3. After four years, he's 36-44 in B1G games. Meanwhile, Southern Cal hires Gates to replace Enfield. In four years, he wins two Pac-12 titles and in Year 4, reaches the Elite Eight. (Sorry, I'm just having trouble getting on board with Enfield). Chris007 and Ryno6284 1 1

NashvilleHoosier Posted March 10, 2021 Posted March 10, 2021 I don't want to rain on the Gates parade. But if he were indeed the guy, does it concern anyone that we wouldn't have any better shooting team? 2020-21: Cleveland St: FG% - 44.9, FT% - 67.2, 3pt% - 32.3 Indiana: FG% - 43.5, FT% - 67.1, 3pt% - 33.1 2019-20: Cleveland St: FG% - 41.6, FT% - 66.4, 3pt% - 29.4 Indiana: FG% - 44.5, FT% - 67.9, 3pt% - 32.6 The did improve across the board from year 1 to year 2. But watching our team shoot so poorly so often these past several years....these are not comforting numbers to look at. lillurk, rcbowla and HoosierDYT 3
