That sucks.  A healthy Matta would have been a fantastic hire

The Hawks liked his coaching so much that they fired him after winning 65% of his games in 2010. 

Yes, and they've been rewarded for their idiocy by having one year with a better winning percentage than Woody's last year since then (11 years)...

Woody won 53 games there his last year. His successors, Larry Drew and Mike Budenholzer, won 44, 40, 44, and 38 in subsequent years...

Change isn't always good...

Dear god this coaching search is turning into a sh*tshow.

 

Edit: I wouldn’t have mined Matta assuming healthy. But if this means no Beard/Musselman/Moser I wonder who we’re going after besides.... Woodson.

So, instead we should hire 68 year old JB or 62 yo MW.

Ridiculous.

Looks like Matta has a bad wheel already.

Drop foot syndrome.

Feel for Matta and his health. He would be excellent if healthy. If he isn’t then hopefully he can continue a road to better health. 
 

IUBB will carry on the search. Still plenty of top coaches out there. 

[Hoosierfan2017 22,055]

Nooooooooooooo. I hate being an IU fan sometimes. I would rather have Matta coach in a wheelchair than have some of these names people have thrown out.

Philips said his sources said they never agreed to a Deal. Wonder if they had the physical first and any potential deal just evaporated

I’ve lost faith in SD if he truly tried to hire Ohio states sloppy seconds.  Lame.

Why do I have the sinking feeling this ends with us getting Dwight Schrute?  I don't mean Crean, I mean actually Dwight Schrute?

He hurt his foot shoving it up Goodman's arse.

[Indiana8585 129]

If they’d been in such serious negotiations why wouldn’t this be brought up and dealt with early

nevermind just saw about the deal not being there

Unreal. This program is cursed.

OMG. What an absolute disaster. Is this true?

Maybe look at it as a blessing than a disaster.

I really hope we can get Lewis on the staff.  First time head coach at this level is an awful big swing.  Minny and PSU are trying that way though.

Agree, big step. Izzo and Gard did it too albeit at the same school.

[TheDarkKnight69 328]

So do we think this is who Lander and the other guy were talking about?

Well, look on the bright side, we will have a plethora of Beets! Lol

I love them both! I think both had that gritty edge to them! Lewis would get the nod from me though. I just read an article about him throwing the ball off Jacob Jaaks (Iowa) face on an out of bounds play. Iowa hated it, but that’s how I was taught to play in the early 80s. I love that mentality from a player!

That and anyone who gets in an argument with Knight on the sidelines is ok in my book. Of course, Fife did bite someone during a game.

[Hoosierfan1901 6,434]

The only way we will get a coach is when the future HC press conference(whenever that is)
