I would honestly take Shaka Smart. But that's just me.

Because we have sucked for so long including a list of poor coaches since the 90’s...

I would too, tbh. Not a top choice, but over the candidates we’ve been discussing lately.

EVERY fan base: “The media despises (insert name of their team).”

I don't care what anyone else says. Media never shows Indiana love when they are good. But they love to trash it when they are bad.

Shaka didn’t succeed at Texas....but I have zero doubt he is going to succeed again.  While I don’t think he’d be hired at IU after just being fired (if he is fired) but we could do worse.

The media has the attention span of a 2-year old.  48-hours after our new coach is announced, we'll be off the front pages.

Loyola has a good chance to make the Final Four. If they do, I'd be surprised if Moser leaves for another job. Who was the last coach to make the Final Four and leave for another job the next season? Roy?

IF Moser does lead Loyola to another Final Four, I can get behind IU hiring him. My only point is that if they lost to Illinois we wouldn't be talking about him. That being said if he can get some wins this weekend (beat Oregon State and knock off Houston or Syracuse) that makes him a lot more attractive of a hire. It's hard to make a final four. Making two in four years is pretty good. 

The article said it puts him in the company of Tark and Stevens.

Not if he's the fallback.

So, looking back on ISP’s tweet about the trade deadline....Any ideas on the significance to IUBB? I know it was mentioned about possibly Brad Steven, but it seems so far fetched.

I don't see why people don't understand it's a good thing we haven't hired anybody yet. Sounds to me like he is waiting to go all in on the Quaker man(Oats).  Has to be him or one of the remaining coaches and the only others are Drew and Musselman.
