This should go without saying obviously, but there will be no press conference tomorrow. I’ll be able to take the lid off a bit later in the week. But will say this, anybody providing details right no

I’ve had several PM’s so wanted to drop a quick line to the broader board. Love this group and fully intend to continue to contribute to the community, Im not going anywhere. (Sorry to a few of you) B

So I couldn’t get much from him unfortunately. But, to me that’s a good thing. There’s been pretty much zero chatter, nor leaks for a month about coaches. He said it doesn’t matter that the season is

In no way am I making fun of his health but damn..

 

We’ve been discussing Thad’s health the last week or two and we finally get an updated picture of him today. There he is, wearing a freaking ankle brace. Jesus, of course he is! 

 

 

He’s a young man, really. What 54? Coaching has been tough on him. He looks at least 10 years older in his face and legs. I wish him the best with his health, but even I knew we shouldn’t be targeting him. His quotes when he departed Ohio State speak volumes. He and JB should continue their passion in basketball, just not as a head coach of a major University.

True but we also have been told he needs help walking and getting to his seat. Seems like he is doing well and has been to several games. May not be ready to coach but not the invalid some reports suggest

Look other than the two unemployed dudes the coaches of interest are in the tourney.  No respectful coach would talk about a job until they are done.  A few finished last night. A few may finish tonight.  And a few may go on a bit longer.   So it could take some time.  In the mean time I think Scott is all over these boards saying “watch this” and laughing his arse off.

I do want to say I’m not trying to be mean, attacking, etc. I’m just saying if he IS healthy and there are no concerns, he should be a serious candidate because of his past. Not saying he’s the best candidate, but should be a serious candidate if fully healthy.

So you would take Beilein over Matta? Beilein hasn’t recruited for about 2 years, old age, thug comment hanging over his head, and there’s a family issue as well. But let’s take him over a healthy Matta who has the best winning percentage of I believe every coach in consideration, and has good connections within the Midwest! A healthy Matta is head and shoulders above most coaches in all of college basketball.

I’m not saying he’s the best candidate, but it’s really annoying that coaches are being dismissed for one reason or the other, but I can easily do the same thing with the coaches you or other posters like just as easily. Some of the posters here are being unreasonable just because of their personal feelings on criteria. 
We all have opinions and that’s great, love that, but it’s the non-stop complaining about certain coaches that get really annoying!

Well John coached in a championship game in 2018 or whatever. Matta coached one in 2007.. John has coached recently and that counts for me. 

Yes I’m worried about the Thugs comment. But his recruiting was great. This current Michigan team has John roots of course! He’s not my top choice but his recent championship run stands out to be specifically whenever I’m comparing him to Thad. I rather have Beard.

People are really understanding the thug comment. Not saying it’s right, but IU will have to have a diversity and inclusion committee to “start a conversation” about his possibly racist comments. Articles will be written. Old articles will be drudged up about how IU was racist for treating Mike Davis bad. 
 

At best he’s maybe suspended for his first game or something. Go look at what happened to mcdermont this year. At worst it tanks recruiting—that and him being 90 yrs old—and dooms the whole thing before it gets off the ground.  Just the world we live in today. 
 

And I say this as someone who really likes the guy and did all the way back to his WVU days.

Being the men’s basketball coach is the most stressful job in Indiana. He’s not saving lives or treating cancer I know. But all eyes are on the head men’s coach in this state. Would be curious to see if he could handle that stress. I’ve never had back issues but doesn’t stress trigger episodes? I don’t know.

If you were a ohio state fan you wouldn’t have wanted urban meyer either then, right? Seemed to work out ok for them.

If I did I don’t remember.  Last week at this time I was all aboard The Stevens train 

Didn't mean it as a gotcha, just that it would suggest that there is a backup plan in place!

Maybe, but whatever happened today was an embarrassment. Where does the truth lie? I doubt it’s 100% fabrication. Maybe it’s all 100% true. We need to get our stuff together.
