If you know how to coach basketball, then you don't. Don't need a degree for it. Just stupid standards for no reason. 

Seriously? Sounds a lot like the Bob Knight conundrum... he was melting down at every turn, punching cops and throwing LSU fans in trash cans all while demanding that the players toe the line... If you want respect,  you have to show respect. If you expect disciplined players, the coach has to be disciplined... going through the process of earning a college degree is not difficult, but it does require some discipline.... It says that you submitted yourself to the process and, some would say, rigors of doing the work to earn something.

My wife is an admin at a local D-1 college... she needed a degree to get that job. Any monkey can type on a keyboard with/without a degree... but it shows that she submitted herself to something and followed it through to completion. It speaks volumes about character and commitment. It's not "just stupid standards for no reason".

It said Franklin met with Dolson before entering his name in the portal today which makes me think we might be some time away from getting a new coach. If someone was going to be hired in the next day or two think Dolson would have mentioned that to Franklin and let him speak to them before entering his name.

Snow just said he got a text from someone in the hoops world that said Moser hasn’t gained much traction with IU but there is growing chatter that Calbert will be the guy. He said he hasn’t vetted the information but it is interesting none the less. 

CALBERT?? no way

I don't know how much Snow knows. He said Archie was staying the day before he was fired.

I take anything said by Snow with a grain of salt.

He said it was a text and he hadn’t vetted it but things had been quiet and people want information.

I’d much rather it be him than Woodson.

So he just passed it along without checking in to it? Sounds pretty unprofessional if you ask me.

Wikipedia has named Woodson the coach just like it did Stevens last week lol

Anybody with a computer can edit any wikipedia article to say whatever they want... and it will "stick" until someone else comes along and changes it... Never trust Wikipedia.

That would sure as heck explain the Evansville guys being excited. It’s also somebody with coaching experience in college and the pros, and a guy who isn’t that old.

Compared to Alford or Beilein?

I see you Calbert

i would much rather neither

I know we all love Calbert but he'd be a huge risk. He hadn't even been a bench coach this year for the Pacers until one of the other assistants resigned. 

[Bowhunter 3,129]

I don’t believe that

When Calbert Cheaney was on Crean’s staff the players absolutely loved him.

[IUc2016 7,121]

@Chris007 guess he will have some convincing to do to get his wife on board (Calbert that is)
