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.

Let's say we miraculously land Steven's. Whats our 1st 5 years look like with him as coach? Results wise im sayin'.

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.

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.

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.

Real life video or Archie if we lose tonight.

I think I speak for everyone not named Treesh that we will take off the Purdue Jockstrap monicker if you get us good info on Drew. 

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.

Any of these 5 would be absolutely fantastic.  I have a next 5 that I could live with as well.  
And 5 after that... and 5 after that... until we replace CAM

Had asked where the talk about Mack came from? Would be surprised if he left Louisville so soon

It came from Chris007 who posted on here that Mack had reached out to IU with interest in the job. Nobody knows why unless he wants a pay raise, wants out because he doesn’t want to deal with the NCAA sanctions, or he has other issues he doesn’t like about Louisville.

Since I'm new to the board, forgive me for asking but is Chris007 in the athletic dept. or something? Where does that knowledge come from?

I don’t think we know exactly what he does but he’s very trustworthy.
