After listening to Michael Lewis this morning I think it’s going to be him.  He is offensive minded like Dolson stated he wanted (or something to that effect) He is also an IU guy that couldn’t have been hired yet due to being in the tourney still.  

I want him badly as an assistant. That would be an underwhelming head coaching hire.

Perfect to be back in Bloomington on the 27th for his press conference announcing him as coach.

And he is just in time to meet the mythical "3 PM" announcement that was posted a few days ago!

They should bring back Sampson.

He likes to have meetings in between two-day same city road trips like he did in Indy back in December. 27 Pacers, 28th St. Elmo's, 29th Pacers

Being an ASSISTANT coach, would one have to wait until eliminated like you would a HEAD coach? Just asking.

Def not that way in football. 

I remember Kevin Wilson coaching Oklahomas bowl game like the day after he was announced as our HC.

Pinch runner would be an understatement. Beilein is a really good coach. 

I meant that Beilein would need a pinch runner after hitting a double. I agree he is better than any IU former players.

Trade deadline in 10 mins

I’d put my money on Mark Turgeon to Oklahoma. Fits what he wants and I don’t think Oklahoma will get a much more “established” coach.
