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

I am not saying it is a bad thing at all. Not my top option, but not bad.

I was mostly meaning his either/or situation wasn't really and either/or situation. 

[LamarCheeks 20,511]

Dakich is on the Dan Patrick Show prattling on that Alford should get the gig. 

Says he's against hiring the "hot" guy -- a-la Sampson, Crean, MIller. 

I know Alford is his buddy, but he's been very unremarkable as a coach. If he didn't play at IU, he wouldn't even be mentioned. Why do people like Dakich think Alford coming to Bloomington would all the sudden make him a great coach? That puzzles me to no end. 

Dakich also said  he called Glass after he hired Archie and told him he just made a huge mistake.

Agreed... if it's either/or, this is the way to go. Loved Woodson as a player, but not sold on him as OUR coach.

I think we are hearing names that IU isn’t worried about being floated around.

Confused... who called Glass? DD or Stevie Boy Wonder?

He's told the part about Glass every day for the last 4 years.

Man do I find him easy to dislike....he's a bully.

I refuse to believe any of the smoke about Woodson. Dolson is not going from throwing $7 million at Stevens to settling for an NBA assistant with a mediocre resume. Just ain’t happening.

Agree with this entirety. If it ends up being Beilein after we've kicked the tires on Beard, Musselman, Oats, etc., I could live with that. But if it's Beilein this week, then no.

The media will win if we settle on our 5th option. That part will suck. 

Looking for a new coach in four years will stink as well.

I'd like to join you in that refusal, however stranger things have happened in all the previous coaching hires after Davis. I'd be shocked but not fully surprised.

Both have head coaching experience

The reference there was not for Beilein & Woodson, but on whether we would take a NBA assistant vs. college assistant.

My point was that the NBA assistant in question has head coaching experience.

Edit: I am not opposed to a Beilein hire per se.

[woodenshoemanHoosierfan 6,380]

 

 

 

As of last night, there were two clear front runners in terms of likelihood to be the next coach - Belein and Woodson.

 

Really? Says who? Did Dolson come out and say or did someone with "sources" tweet it or post it on a message board?

It very well could be those 2, but no one knows except Dolson and maybe a couple others and they ain't saying anything.

Nothing tweeted out so far has turned out to be right, so why assume it is down to those two. There is still a Tournament being played.

The problem is nobody knows who options 2, 3, and 4 really are.

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.

 

Also, Woody 

VS Beilein:

 

 

NO CONTEST... FOR WOODSON  :)

I don't want Alford at all, but honestly if the administration is hellbent on picking an IU guy then he would be my choice. He's the only one with actual college head coaching experience. We'd know what we are getting, which admittedly isn't all that great, but I'd rather do it than take a flier on an assistant or Woodson.

Well the media was all on our side with the last hire and look where that got us. Looking for a new coach in four years. 

**** the media honestly

Dolson has done an excellent job of this.  All of the pundits who start tweeting it's "x" or "y" are probably nothing more than lurkers on btb and using our boards as their "sources".

Well at one point RMK told him it was his job when he was done......then it wasn't lol

I think that was before RMK thought he could bequeath it to Patrick like he later did At Texas Tech
