I still think Beard sticks around for that Texas job when it opens...just my opinion...and I think there are better options...

Would Shaka Smart make the jump from Texas to IU?

What three candidates did Doyels article mention?  Beilein and obvi Brad but who else?

Doubt it.  I think we'd be like Minny with Tubby.  Beilein is ancient and would have major trouble recruiting imo.  From reading the posts on this site, Rivals, and Peegs he seems to be the one guy of the realistic hires that a lot of people would be irate over.  We just can't have more apathy.

Maybe I'll eventually learn to spell his name then. it's supposed to be: i before e except after C! not B and L!

On the bright side, he also has been to 2 championship games and his teams are fundamentally sound: low turn overs, crisp passes, good screens, etc.

My bigger concern with B-line, is that his successful teams do not resemble our current roster at all. My question is how quickly can he turn this around?

Bennett, which I think is a lower chance then almost anyone else on our list at the moment.  That guy turned down a raise so more money could be put into building the program.  That to me says he is committed where he is at.

I've been lurking long enough waiting for HSN to get fixed. I just gotta say you guys are crazy (in a good way). 

I'm not subscribed to IndyStar. Does Doyle mean that we have 3 candidates and the third option won't say no? Or we call Stevens 3 times:
1st time: "$6 million" 
2nd time: "$8 million" 
3rd time: "We took your dog and are holding it hostage"

If the former, I'd guess that third option is B-line. No info, just a hunch because he's qualified and clearly wants to get back into coaching. We may be his easiest path to win that coveted NC. 

I probably shouldn't leak this but... you're really close on the plan for the 3rd time. The difference is that instead of the dog being held hostage, someone is going to kidnap him directly and shortly after Brad's mysterious disappearance from Boston, IU is going to announce the completely unknown Brian Smith as the new head coach. Brian will look a lot like Brad but with more facial hair, a large nose and glasses.

So the Rivals board is saying TJD might be back?

This is just dumb (not you @reconmkd) Doyle is click bait only. He spends about 75% of his time bashing IU until a coaching vacancy opens up, and now he's buddies with all things IUBB. Tony Bennett is an idiotic suggestion from the town clown and is far less likely than Brad Stevens to end up in Bloomington. If Brad is "+5000" according to Vegas, add another zero for Bennett. He's comfortable & killing it at Virginia and has zero reason to leave.

I think new coach dependent.  Projected mid 2nd rd right now

Danny Ainge definitely in the video. Maybe Dolson is trying to make a deal.

So the Simon's are helping (got our name on the building, need a winner in it) and they reached out to Larry Bird from their Pacers connections  and said, "Help us bring this Indiana boy home."
