With like half our team in the transfer portal though, whoever we hire is probably going to need to remake the roster for next season. Poor outside perception of the program could make the new guy’s job harder in that regard. 

Adding to the above...you can actually make some pretty compelling pitches regarding vision to guys looking for a new opportunity- it can be more attractive than a middling situation at a P5 school. 

Regarding the transfer portal, I only know of 2 leaving for sure. It doesn't mean what it always has, obviously.

Something to be said about a coach that failed early, went and worked under Majerus and changed his whole coaching outlook.  People want coaches to adapt and here is an example of a coach doing that.   If IU hired him they would be hiring the new version and not the fired Illinois St coach.   Not saying he is the top choice but I would be willing to give him a chance.  He definitely wouldn’t win the press conference I’m guessing but then again that might be a good thing in the long run 

Coaching a IL State and Loyola is hard.  Those really aren't places full of basketball prowess.  I'd give him points for the success he's had at Loyola.  Not saying he's the guy, but a place like IU is a much easier place to attract talent.

Pretty good chance Celtics miss playoffs now. Levert back for Pacers and Bulls with a nice pickup on the trade. Potential for Celtics to finish 9th or 10th. 

So basically Brad sux as a coach.  Let's move down the list.  :)

All those years the Celtics had the Nets' lottery pick, and the Nets are above them now. Celtics fans can't be too happy with that. Not to mention they gave up the last pick for a player who's now playing for the Nets (Irving).

I'm seeing 2 different train of thought in this thread.
1 we need a home run
2 we need to hire now because 4 players are in the transfer portal

If #1 the names mentioned are still coaching in the Tournament. If #2 we are not getting the homerun hires. We would be getting either a retired coach or a coach whose team is done for the season.

What do you want

I want the stupid tournament to be playing today, tomorrow and Sat/Sun so we can go after those coaches still on the list (unlikely they all make the finals).

Probably the most counterproductive thing you can do is believe everything you read on the internet

Why would anyone do that?

Because on the internet, Brad Stevens actually likes us.

That’s not the Indianapolis. That’s actually a ship called the USS Indiana.  My guess it’s the same class as the Arizona and Missouri but honestly don’t know

Ok. I will be THAT guy.

We finally fixed the Isaiah/Isiah thing... and now we've got "Cheney" instead of Cheaney?

Helluva fan base we got here, folks!

And people here commenting on James "Blackman" when he was with the team.

You are correct that is a battleship in the same class as the Arizona.

Well that should pi$$ a bunch of guys off based on recent comments. But that's OK, we all have our own viewpoints, and that's what makes the world go 'round.

Norlander just published an article basically saying he should take the Marquette job over Indiana.

I thought we all agreed to forego the cheesy tag lines ("Miller Time", "Crean & Crimson", etc).

It's an underrated element of what may be Porter Moser's decision making process.

Moser is a very observant Catholic, and Marquette is a Jesuit school.

It's a really good P5 fit for him.

If you google IU basketball coach, it tells you Dane Fife.  Is that a source?

I am pretty sure that he's nowhere near the top of Dolson's board... tired of jumping on the "flavor of the month" - whatever mid-major coach manages an upset or good run in the tourney goes to the head of the class... and four years later we're right back where we started.

Just get a quality coach with a solid resume that shows results and lock him in.
