Not sure if it's been discussed, but how would you all feel about CAM getting fired, and one of the assistants being named interim (either for next season, or just until we get our guy)?  Not advocating for or against, just trying to add a variable to the discussion. 

Totally kills recruiting if you go that route....particularly if you go the route of having an interim for a full season.  And being handcuffed in recruiting for one season has ramifications well beyond one year.  Guys you are really focusing on are typically recruited for multiple years -- missing out for a year when others dig their heels in is not good.

Thank you! I was pretty active on HSN for about a year or so and I’m happy to have also found this place.

I want to post on Hoosier Sports Nation since a lot of names are still recognizable from the Scout board.

I forget my username though :/ 

But you guys love me here so...

Andy and Coach are, Ryan goes back and forth, but Jared to me comes off pretty negative. 

Ryan has flat out said Archie should be fired and he did that awhile ago. Jerod said essentially the same but not as emphatically. Coach is overly positive and Andy doesn't really make his opinion on this particular matter known. That's my take on those guys.

Also Ryan wrote an article describing why AM doesn't deserve to keep his job on The Big Lead just a week or 2 ago.

So we're getting Eddie Schilling as Interim until the NBA season is over? am I reading this threat right?

It also feels like an interim coach would have very little to no luck in the one time transfer market, which will be key for either scenario of a new coach coming in or Archie staying one more year.

At least Archie can use the excuse of "we would have won the NCAA tournament if only we hadn't gotten there" for his lack of post season success.

This has been my favorite part of IUBB in recent years. The possibility of being good again

New to the board here .... but I know IU Athletics is tens of millions (40-60 million from what I've heard) in the hole this season with no butts in the seats.  They'll get some money from hosting the tourney but not sure it's going to be enough to make up for the massive loss.  

That being said, they did just upgrade Coach Allen, so, what do I know about finances? :)

I haven't had the chance to peruse the thread in its entirety just yet ... do we have a consensus?

Well since it should only take 5 or 6 years to peruse in its entirety I will help you out... with the disclaimer that I got to about page 96 and then skipped ahead to 297... LMAO...

Consensus seems to be *ANYBODY is a candidate... and a better option!

* Exceptions include Alford, Calipari, Pearl...… not ruled out are Samson or Crean!

No one wants Steve Aflord

We all want Brad Stevens

We've eliminated a lot of candidates such as Oats, Beard, and Bennett due to them eliminating us lol

Right now it appears to be Scott Drew, Dane Fife, Thad Matta, or John Belien.

7M is not chump change, but honestly it's not near an insurmountable barrier. It likely is not costing the school a thing. Reports/rumors are that boosters have already ponied up. 

And that's simply the way things they are right now with big time college sports like FB and BB.  

So in short, if the money is there, there's really no reason to stand pat. 

I wouldn't call it political capital either. Boosters boost. That's what they do. It depends on the dynamics between the admin/BOT and the boosters. So long as the boosters don't run the show, or feel like they are entitled to run the show, it's not an issue. It does give them input though, and I think that's fair.

And to be honest, boosters can be better than the BOT/AD at identifying the right guy to "win". ADs and the BOT can play favorites or be incestuous about who they pick. On the other hand boosters can turn a blind eye to red flags. All in all, having the right mix can bring good balance to the decision. 

Well, that's one take on it. Think whatever you want, brother.

I'm on board with that!  

Any chatter about Porter Moser?

Welcome to the board. It's the usual names Matta, Beilien, Drew, Musselman, some guy named Stevens, Fife, Mack, amongst others. I think IU wants a proven P5 guy but that's just me and I don't know much

[Class of '66 Old Fart 81,745]

Another warm welcome to @Mr. Hoosier Pride.   Glad to have you with us.
