How much Howard success can be attribute to Phil Martelli, especially since Howard’s recruiting impact hasn’t really come into play yet

Perfect set up and scenario.

Izzo, too long ago.  Not the same environment. 

Holtmann-3 years of success at Butler.  Moderate risk.  
 

Juwan Howard- is a good argument.  He’s got a special fame that has allowed amazing recruiting.  So far he has knocked it out of the park.  He’s unique.  Which up and coming coach can walk into Indiana and land the #1 recruiting class?  I’ll take that guy.  

 

Kids today still know who the Fab 5 is because it gets blasted ok Twitter and ESPN and whatever else at times. Plus Michigan is already a gigantic brand. The recruits know they'll be getting Jordan brand of whatever. It was a perfect situation I think. As for someone like Penny Hardaway... Guys just don't know Penny these days. He's just a guy that could have been great without the injuries.

Disagree 100%. Both were risks just as hiring an up and comer.

Didn’t say they weren’t risks. But to equate them as the same as hiring somebody brand new is just ridiculous.

Painter and Gard were both coach in waiting not the same at all 

Gard is still resting on the Grinch’s laurels - those kids r near 30 yrs old! Will be interesting to see how he does on his own.

Handpicked by a successful coach and able to step in and maintain a system instead of having to start from scratch 

It was a system that wasn't working and the talent was bad.  He was 9-19 in 3-13 in conference his first year.  The one thing it did allow was for him to get a year of recruiting in...when he landed Hummel, Martin, JuJuan Johnson, and  E'twan Moore.

At the point IU is at, I’m almost ready to get dirty!

Sounds like Cincinnati will be open by Monday. I could see Archie being a candidate for that one.

[AZ Hoosier 7,064]

In another response he said he “doesn’t write on good authority. I am the authority”

I hope he and Goodman are very happy together. Between them both there may be half a brain.

That’s actually a really good spot for him, IMO.

I dislike Doyel the way most of you all dislike Dakich.  For the record, I like Dakich. For the record, I’d like to kick Doyel in the shin.  

Not a fan of either. Don’t think that’s ever been a secret.

So you agree it’s not the same and has advantageous?
