So let’s say you get down to the Altman, Mussleman level and just don’t feel it with those guys. But you talk with Beilein and despite his age you think you can build a base here over the next 7 years.  Culture, player development, veteran leadership and winning. Even if the winning comes primarily in years 3-7 if you could win at a high level and build the base we need perhaps we could then hand off the team to a coach on staff. 
 

Beileins structure and player development could be more important than this years shiny coach.

So if that is to be believed, that will make for a very long and painful next 2.5 months or so. Unless it was somehow announced prior to the end of the NBA season with the expectation that Brad will coach out the remainder of the year with the Celtics, though that seems far fetched.

Wasn't a shot at you at all.  I want as many conspiracy theories posted that you can find.  It's unfortunately the most exciting thing about Indiana basketball.

Did I just go through the Twilight Zone?  Was in a different thread and got to this one about 20 pages behind!  Did someone merge 2 threads?
Happened to me too. And now my timeline is empty. I can only see what I've participated in. I'm on tapatalk for what that's worth.

For those that are cold on Beilein just keep in mind if he is your floor for a coach then that’s a pretty good floor.    I get that age is a big factor but not even 4 years ago he was getting talked about as one of the best coaches in the game at that time especially offensively.   Hamilton for FSU just signed an 4 extension and he is 72.  
 
IU needs a person that can change the culture and get it back on track to be a winning program.  While not ideal for some people on here I will just point out the following 
The last 2 years he coached in college he went 
1. 33-8 (13-5) and lost in the national title game 
2. 30-7 (15-5) and lost in the sweet 16
iu has had 1 30 win season in the last 27 years. (92-93).  
 
of course he isn’t the long term answer but he just might change culture enough in his short years to make it more attractive for the next guy and he is such an excellent coach in my opinion he could win big.  A great coach failing at something like he did in the NBA would make me think he would bust it at wherever he is at to prove how good of coach he is 
This! All day long and into next week
