I’ll just hang out here until we get a coach. On a serious note, if it’s not Brad how devastated will this fan base be? I’ll be behind whoever but I think we will all be a bit disappointed. I still think it’s less than a 5% chance it’s him but that’s the best percentage we’ve ever had with him so I’m running with it! I personally will not be devastated. Unless the next coach is John Doe from South Harmon Institute of Technology,, I don’t see IU “missing” again.

Please Dear Sweet Baby Jesus let it be Brad!!!! I specifically brought my computer home to do some school work due next week and thought Naahhh.. this is too much fun (Don't worry, I can assure you as a public school teacher, your tax dollars are hard at work between 7:30-3:15 every day) IUwins0708 and NVFalcons1990 1 1
LamarCheeks Posted March 17, 2021 Posted March 17, 2021 I get people not wanting Beilein. There are a lot of concerns -- I'd have many myself. But those who are absolutely against Beilein -- that's how I feel about Scott Drew. Not that I have any say in it (well, none of us do for that matter), but I just cannot get on board with a Scott Drew hire. He's actually from very close to where I grew up, but I just don't care for the guy. Just seems sorta sleazy. I would not be thrilled with a Drew hire, but I'd still follow the team and still be passionate about IU hoops. But I'd also be praying like crazy that he doesn't land us in hot water with the NCAA -- because as we all know, our compliance team will go after our coaches harder than the NCAA ever will!

IU Scott Posted March 17, 2021 Posted March 17, 2021 Like I have seen I think it has to be someone that is a huge higher. You don't get a 10 mil buyout and money for the new coach to get another mid major coach, Also with what Dolson has said about what he wants on the offensive end I think that would eliminate Beard and maybe Drew. I would think the coaches who would meet the criteria abut offense that Dolson was talking about would be Beilein, Oats and Musselman. FWHoosier84 and Chris007 2
IUwins0708 Posted March 17, 2021 Posted March 17, 2021 Would be ok with B-line if he had a coach in waiting like Fife or Lewis. Just don’t want to do this again in 5 years. FWHoosier84, NVFalcons1990, IUc2016 and 2 others 5

Something just seemed "off"- zero personality- and as a long time teacher, that spells disaster when working with kids. That’s exactly it. Blank stair. No emotion. Empty statement.
Brooks Posted March 17, 2021 Posted March 17, 2021 Longtime HSN lurker. Since the sites down and I was dying for a place to get info and chat was looking around. Looks like you all have a great thing going here. Love the site. Im definitely ready for some real news and like everyone else Brad would be a dream get. A lot of other candidates would really excite me as well. Ty all for letting me post here. NVFalcons1990, hoosierbannerd, JaybobHoosier and 2 others 5

DWB Posted March 17, 2021 Posted March 17, 2021 If it's not BS, and one of the other favorites of the board, I wonder if Dolson would demand the new coach to have either Michael Lewis or Dane Fife as one of the assistants. (to build the IU culture from within) I doubt if Fife would take the lateral move, unless he was assured the big chair after the next coach left. Just a thought. NVFalcons1990 1

I’m trying to temper my expectations, especially after that press video but this is similar to Alabama football getting Saban or UK basketball (bleh) getting Calipari. IU needs to get its home run. To me, Beard or Drew will be a triple but that home run....that grand slam is Stevens. My hopes are up. Get that white whale! Hippopotamo, go iu bb, ElectricBoogaloo and 6 others 9
