I have zero clue who the next coach will be. But what I do know is if Indiana gets the right hire, the new coach could easily be the 2nd best coach in the Big Ten and soon maybe the best. Right now Izzo is the top guy (I think we'd all say he's a top 5 coach in college basketball). I'd put Howard at number 2 right now but the jury is still out on him I think. Painter is probably top 25. After that you have a bunch of decent coaches, but none that can lead you to the second weekend and beyond (Holtmann, Gard, Turgeon, Underwood, the Franimal). Piekiel is probably in that group too. I'm stunned the B1G has only one team left but I really thought only Michigan and Illinois had a shot at the Final Four. A lot of overrated coaches. IF Indiana hires one of these guys, they easily become I think a top 3 coach in the B1G (Beard, Beilein, Musselman, Oats, Altman, Drew, Matta, Enfield)

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

Right, but Dakich stayed on even after the season ended until Crean was hired. They need to do this so the program can continue to run for the players. 

But I believe Dan did that because he thought he had a shot at the job, which he did an interview for.

As of last night, there were two clear front runners in terms of likelihood to be the next coach - Belein and Woodson. I don’t know in what order, I just know it’s more likely it’s one of them than not them. It’s very unlikely at this point that the next coach is a current college assistant. 

If this stretches past this weekend, maybe they get involved with the coach of a team currently still in the tournament. Not sure on that. But don’t be surprised if JB or MW is announced in the next few days even though nothing is decided right now (or at least as of last night).

One could get us to the final four in 4 years.

The other will cause a new coaching search in 4 years.

Beilein is a great coach but... am I crazy for wanting Woodson instead? He’s 5 years years younger and doesn’t have that “thugs” comment hanging over him...

I have MAJOR concerns over Beilein’s ability to recruit given how much hate he got from that and basically got ran out of the NBA.

Woodson has coached some of the best players in the NBA and I wonder if he could parlay that experience into getting kids to come.... I don’t know, Beilein is obviously a good hire but his age + recent controversies scare me.

Neither are exactly the top of my list.

But we'll take an NBA assistant?

I can't imagine they go this route. Beilein possibly but no chance on Woodson. At least I hope not. I can't see how they don't get one of the top 4 I mentioned with the money they're throwing around.

Beilein could get us to the final four in four years and then retire. Which would mean we are still looking for a new coach in four years.

I guess I'm confused, if all the rumors are to be believed, why Dolson started with his A-list candidate, and when that supposedly fell through he pulled out his D-list instead of waiting for the Bs to finish the tournament.

If they get a top assistant with the HC aspirations as the plan (looking at you, Michael Lewis), Beilein would not be a bad thing, IMO.

One with head coaching experience. This also would fit more with the vision that Dolson outlined of NBA prep...

Both have head coaching experience

Woodson has the potential (mind you...potential) to be a GREAT recruiter--he has so so many recently retired NBA names that could be on staff. Also, he has been the 'offensive coordinator' for some very fast-paced, efficient, modern-era, three point friendly NBA teams. It's contrary to expectations from an old-school Knight-era guy, but Woody is a guy that really gets an offense humming.

Beilein? Great coach...great coach. Great guy. I worry a lot about recruiting with him too--not because of the 'thugs' comment--a good man like Beilein will have plenty of people to vouch for his character. However, it WILL be used against a 68+ year old coach that his shelf life is short. If not this year, then  a year or two from now for sure.

If those are my choices give me Woody every time.
