spe317 Posted March 22, 2021 Posted March 22, 2021 Is it possible that because Evansville is in a different time zone that they’re just now hearing about a coaching change? HoosierSadaseci, RaceToTheTop, GloryDays and 1 other 1 3

CyberHoosier Posted March 22, 2021 Posted March 22, 2021 Guy from E'ville knows the new coach, 5* PG from E'ville knows the new coach. Who is from Evansville? Calbert Cheaney!
jmsgws Posted March 22, 2021 Posted March 22, 2021 5 hours ago, LamarCheeks said: A HOME RUN hire (allcaps)? A much more established coach than we might think? This is pretty simple. Who hit more home runs than anyone (steroids aside)? Barry Bonds. Where did Bonds play the bulk of his career? San Francisco -- or the Bay Area. Who coaches in the Bay Area? Steve Kerr. It's so easy if you just simply follow the clues. Our next coach will be Steve Kerr. Or if you follow the anti-steroid argument ... Who hit the most home runs? Hank Aaron. Where did Hank Aaron play when he became the HOME RUN king? Atlanta. Who coaches in Atlanta? Josh Pastner. So -- our next coach will either be Steve Kerr or Josh Pastner. I like your thought process, except Aaron is REALLY from Milwaukee. So I am thinking it is going to be Pat Baldwin. UW Milwaukee Coach. Completely out of the blue. :)

Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk The latest news on IU AD's new HC basketball coach: https://saturdaytradition.com/indiana-football/report-two-new-names-attached-to-indiana-basketballs-coaching-search/ In this linked article Matta is a possibility. Bozich relates that Woodson interviewed with the AD. I speculate that Woodson is not part of Plan B. Matta just may be. Pitino is out, Stevens is out, Oats is out. Lots of buzz for Beard by fans. But I don't see it. Lots of buzz for the flavor of the weekend like Musselman and ORU's coach...Bennett is hot on this board and others. Khristen Lander tweeted: Happiness is coming. Maybe he and his family know something. What? Maybe Lander has gotten positive feedback from a coaching search prospect; or has a new love; I hope that he is happy at IU. Some buzz about a rumor by a guy who knows Lander that alleges something like: That is great news! ..Only thing that comes to mind out of Evansville is Calbert Cheaney. For an example just look north to what is going on recently in Michigan. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calbert_Cheaney I speculate that IU will get Matta, Bennett or less likely, Cheaney. Thad Matta is living in Indy and has had a bad back. He hasn't coached in a few years because of that. I just cannot get excited about Beilein for a number of reasons. Cheaney would be risky. But so would anyone else...including Brad Stevens. Other than that...all quiet on the western front. I speculate that no IU guy will be HC at IU in the short run. Maybe Matta as HC and Woodson as assistant. The transition staff of 3 coaches is just that. Wonder if any of them will stay after the new HC is hired. And this tidbit from OSU's Eleven Warriors: NO, PLEASE. I'm not sure I could draw up a bigger punch in the d** k to follow a first-round exit than the program's all-time winningest coach un-retiring to coach a conference rival just days later, but folks, that might be where we're at! That would be Matta, who directed Ohio State to a pair of NCAA Final Fours while winning 5 Big Ten regular-season championships and 4 Big Ten Tournaments with the Buckeyes. Matta gave Stevens his first coaching job at Butler in 2000. Matta, 53, stepped away from Ohio State in 2017 because of health issues and a declining record. Although Matta has been mentioned for openings at UCLA, Georgia, Pittsburgh and other schools, he has remained out of the game for four seasons, living north of Indianapolis. If Matta was the choice, he could start this week. I'll say this, the annual "will Thad Matta return to coaching?" dance is a hell of a lot less fun when the team in question will have to compete with my team on the court and in recruiting every year. Then again, there's nothing Indiana's basketball program (or athletic department as a whole, for that matter) has done in my life that would lead me to believe they're about to make a good hire, so I guess I'll just trust the process here.
