This should go without saying obviously, but there will be no press conference tomorrow. I’ll be able to take the lid off a bit later in the week. But will say this, anybody providing details right no

I’ve had several PM’s so wanted to drop a quick line to the broader board. Love this group and fully intend to continue to contribute to the community, Im not going anywhere. (Sorry to a few of you) B

So I couldn’t get much from him unfortunately. But, to me that’s a good thing. There’s been pretty much zero chatter, nor leaks for a month about coaches. He said it doesn’t matter that the season is

Thanks Vauxhall. I did know about this but just didn't know that was the primary driver.

It is the primary driver, but it's compounded by the fact that he's also a mediocre coach. If he was a great coach, I could understand there might be fans with the "win at all costs" mentality, even if I wasn't one of them. But he's not even very good! To me, he'll always be the guy whose team scored 7 points in a half against pUKe. 

On top of that, it would conform to every single accusation of our fanbase being stuck in the past and not being able to move on from Knight. He has literally less than zero upside. But none of that would bother me THAT much if not for the Pierce stuff. That's beyond the pale. I'll get behind a mediocre coach, if that's our coach, but I won't get behind someone who does something like that.

Not much. Mosier, Cheaney, Woodson are all options, maybe Fife, Lewis, maybe someone still in the tourney. Players should be in the portal. Some people think that IU might pull a rabbit out of our hat in the next 24-48 hours. I think that is everything

So, looking at the guys left in the tournament and adding Beard, Matta, and Beilein AND assuming it's not going to be any Indiana guys because that hire could've been announced by now .....

Oats (too expensive of a buyout)

Muss (Arkansas will match any offer)

Enfield ("dirty")

Altman ("dirty")

Scott ("dirty")

Mike Lewis (probably not ready at this critical juncture)

Beard (Texas)

Matta (passed)

Beilein (not long term)

it only leaves one name ......

I still say Oats and Muss are in play and money will not be the deciding factor BUT assuming it is this is where we're at: 

Porter Moser will be the next coach at IU

...... and that settles any Marquette is a better job than Indiana argument. Moser obviously declined to talk to Marquette or they wouldn't have jumped on Shaka so fast. Why did he decline to talk to Marquette?? Because he already has a job waiting for him.

So basically he doesn’t know....and he’s giving the 27th guy a chance lol

The same people.

And say Miller pulled a rabbit out of hat and got a 10 seed in the tournament.  We wouldn't get the Texas treatment if we decided to let him go then, we would get the Indiana "your expectations are just too high" treatment on steroids.  "He showed improvement, that fan base is just not patient enough.  They really need to realize where they are at in the pecking order these days."

Texas though...fire a coach that gets you to first Final Four since before the Korean War and has 2 more Elite 8 appearances along with making the tournament like 17 times and then turn around and fire his replacement after a tournament run and not a peep.   The national guys suck @$$.  Someone posted somewhere about Indiana just needing to embrace our role as the bad guy again and I agree.  They will not like us, time to get a guy to give them a really good reason to hate us.

That's why we need Oats ......

Even by that logic, Fife is the presumptive choice then unless he turns us down.

The crazier thing is that keeping Archie around would have been even worse. Indiana fans are actually paying attention to being involved at the moment. Archie already murdered the brand. I know everyone wants to be all "professional" and "nice" with him leaving, but he was absolutely awful in every aspect. He very literally killed the brand of Indiana basketball in just 4 years. There was no option of keeping him unless everyone was just accepting that Indiana basketball should suck. 

PS: Stevens is NEVER coming to IU. Indiana had a window and passed on it. Move on. We need to go after Oats and Shaka.

Shaka took another job about an hour ago. He's off the board. So now we need to find someone to come up with 12 million to buy out Oats, then we can only offer 3.5 million in salary so we will need another donor to add money so we can pay him a proper salary. Sounds easy.

I haven't been paying attention to the news. But that sucks. Always liked Shaka.
