Would Duke hire Christian Laetner?

If they though between him and his future staff he could get the job done? I'm sure they would.

I would hope if this has legs that would be IU's standard.

No they would develop him as a coach and recruiter first. Like they’re doing with Scheyer...

Hate to be that guy but Fournier has been pretty good this year. 20/3/4 with a few 3s a game. Not exactly a blockbuster but it’s a decent sized move

It is.....if that's what they needed. I guess I don't look at the Celtics roster and think "you know what they really need?  Another wing."

No I’m sure they’d hire Jon Scheyer though.

The Wikipedia IU coach of the day is Pete Bell

Scott Drew is eliminated.

I'm pretty sure Mussleman has some questionable stuff... 

You know the only one who I stated several posts back is “squeaky clean “....

People really wanted Aaron Gordon instead, too bad he is off to the Nuggets

So you're believing all these guesses?

At this point, yes. The only rumors we're hearing are bad rumors. Given how little faith I had in the IU administration heading into this thing, rumors that we aren't interested in established, great college coaches (who have interest in us!) but are interested in unqualified IU guys are demoralizing.

This is a message board so I am just talking about candidates...I still find it hard to believe that Indiana bought Archie out for that price for a lateral move (to be fair, I'll put Moser a notch above Arch). I just don't buy it. IF, again this is just a discussion, IU hires a Moser, a Woodson, or a Cheaney, spare me with the "we want to annually contend in the B1G and the NCAA" that Glass and Dolson have said in the past. If you do, you don't hire these guys. Period. And outside of Moser, these other IU guys would've been hired by now.

No thanks!  Too much shady recruiting stuff going on under his watch.

[IUc2016]

From our favorite boys, but actually some pretty good stuff in here.

Goodman is with us, he thinks the IU guy interviews are just to check boxes

This hire is going to end up being a complete disaster. If we're not even interested in talking to Beard or Drew, we are doomed. We should start preparing ourselves now. 

Wouldn't Beard be a "hot name" too considering he hasn't replicated his success from the national championship run yet?

Agree somewhat that Crean might have been better at talent development than Archie, however, I think that could be that Crean had a better eye for underdeveloped talent and/or took more risks with recruiting

He took way more risks... for every Vic or Will he would drag in 3 or 4 Tijan Jobes, Grant Gelons, Jeremiah Aprils, Peter Jurkins, Bawa Munirus, etc...

At least this hire will tell us how seriously our administration takes the basketball program. Hiring one of those guys would send a clear signal to IU nation that they don't care about competing for conference and national titles. You don't hire Calbert Cheaney or Mike Woodson to be your head coach if you do. That's their choice, but I would adjust my fandom accordingly. I'd watch a game here and there, but there would be no point in agonizing over a program that doesn't care about winning.

To be fair, there has only been one tournament since that run. I agree he has a small sample size but I like his sample size. He upset Purdue at Little Rock in 2016. He took Tech out of nowhere in 2018 to the Elite 8. National Championship in 2019. Last year probably would have won a game in the tournament. This year they made the second round and lost to Arkansas but could have gone either way.
