Unexpectedflash Posted March 11, 2021 Posted March 11, 2021 1. Stevens 2. Drew 3a/3b. Oats/Musselman 4. Beilein 5. Mark Pope Just based off of style of play and personality I think these are my top 6. I've looked a lot at Kenpom efficiency numbers the last few weeks to try and judge who is a good candidate. Mark Pope is someone that really stood out the last two years when going through that. If we had done that with Archie and compared it with say Holtmann I would've given Holtmann the edge pretty easily. I'm tired of this grind it out basketball that we play. All of the guys on my list have shown the ability to coach modern offenses and are adaptable to the players they have. There's some projection with Oats but I really do think he'll be one of the best coaches in college basketball going forward. He's extremely smart and adaptable and he has the personality needed to succeed at this job. I don't think Beard is realistic because he already makes so much at Tech. I know Matta is on a lot of people's lists but it's just been so long since he's had a good team that he feels like a big risk. Mack is a better version of Archie but a lot of the things we complain about Archie's system are things that he also employs. Just look at a Louisville forum and it looks exactly like ours did in year 2 and 3 of Archie. BtownStrength 1

I think realistically IU retains most of the candidates to return on this team except TJD and maybe another transfer. He would bring lots of excitement and probably recruiting success — easy to sell Heyward/Smart/Tatum/Kemba/Brown development and NBA experience. So I’d expect all that to mean IU would be a tough out next year and a solid tourney team — maybe a 7-10 seed. After that it would be much less easy to be specific but he’s one of the guys who puts you in plenty of national recruits’ minds, is up against Juwan Howard on the trail for the Midwest’s best, and brings a willingness to learn with strong schemes on both sides of the ball. We’d shoot many more threes and expect even bigs to step out and hit when open. He’s one of a small # of guys where I’d EXPECT IU to genuinely compete for a final 4 pretty quickly — compete for, not guarantee they’d make it. Chris007 and IUHAHN81 2
lillurk Posted March 11, 2021 Posted March 11, 2021 I’d add that to Stevens is GREAT at putting the ball in the hands of his best players regardless of position. Putting role players in spots they can succeed, too. Those have...not been strengths recently at IU. Ryno6284 and IUHAHN81 1 1

Mark Pope I concur with the first four in the same order. I'd also concur that Oats may eventually prove to be the best of the bunch. In a broad range of circumstances he's been very successful to date. I have a sneaking suspicion that Beilein will retire in a few years, otherwise I'd be fine with him. Pope is new to my radar. lillurk 1

Just look at a Louisville forum and it looks exactly like ours did in year 2 and 3 of Archie. I still like Matta as a quality option if healthy. His track record is very strong minus the very last year he was at OSU. Never even had a season under 20 wins. JaybobHoosier and thebigweave 2

Last I heard...Drew would come to IU if they made a serious offer to him. I have not heard much the past week or so, however. My take is that if IU seriously wants Scott, they could most likely get him. rcbowla, Stromboli, JaybobHoosier and 1 other 4
