He would definitely take our one recruit with him if he got that job

I doubt that

Apparently the rabbit that peegs was referring to earlier was Jay Wright.

Hey, maybe we should hire Anthony Grant.  He's had a pretty good run at Dayton.

Just cycle through a few more Dayton coaches until we strike gold.

Is it still an option according to Peegs or no?

If that rabbit comes out of the IU hat drop all the other tricks. He's the one! Don't see it happening though. Ecstatic if it would.

Why would he do that? He makes a lot at Nova and obviously can win there.

Who wouldn’t? He’s just using us to get a raise.

Jay Wright makes no sense. Something off there

And they laughed at us for thinking we could get brad Stevens. At least he somewhat makes sense

This sounds less plausible than Stevens. 

[rcbowla 7,351]

The man makes $6m/yr and has clearly established himself at Nova. He's also an east coast guy. Zero chance imo. I would agree it could be a ploy to get a raise but damn......how greedy lol

Is anyone surprised at names being tossed around at this point? 
 

Peegs said it was just being discussed within the last 48 hours around the industry so who knows where that came from for sure. 
 

As for why Jay Wright may consider leaving. It would be a new challenge and some coaches like to find ways to challenge themselves. Not all but some.

Might as well say a reincarnated John Wooden

Feel like if he was looking for a new challenge he would’ve taken the 76ers job last year. If not though and he’d rather take the challenge of IUBB, I’ll take it!

These are arguably the best coaches in the BIG. The numbers listed = the number of years these coaches had at a power 6 conference before taking a head coaching job in the BIG.

Chris holtmann was at butler, which kinda counts. Other than that, not many examples of a BIG school hiring an established coach of another major conference. Turgeon was hired away from Texas A&M but he is pretty mediocre.

Another one for you Wayne, Bo Ryan never had a power 6 job and barely a D1 job for that matter before he took over Wisconsin.

Now do the number of titles this century. B1G is a deep conf, but not a top heavy one.
