General Coach Candidate News

This is probably the goal but candidates play the game too and give all the right signals but often decide to stay when you need them to sign. UCLA even UNC had trouble until Roy changed his mind after they hired Daugherty. If you have followed other school hirings the last few years this happens a lot. 
 

 

Lots of agents will use an open spot to get their coach client a raise at their current spot. It’s an AD’s job to know the difference.  
 

UNC really only whiffed on Roy once with the Doherty hire. No AD will ever be able to side step the land mine of a retiring legend picking his replacement.
 

UCLA has had similar trouble to us but bouts of success. UK has mostly nailed theirs. KU definitely has. Duke is tbd. UConn seems to have finally landed the guy. L’ville is down bad, but we’ll see what they do after KP.  Out of all the conceivable “blue bloods” we have fared the worst, imo, with coaching decisions the last few decades.

Wooden from Indiana State to UCLA 

Knight from Army to IU 

Keady from Western Ky to Purdue 

Say again why not Josh Schertz from Indiana State to IU???

remember how likely it was we were a sure tourney team

After beating Nebraska on Wednesday that basically sealed it they were going to be a tourney team just a matter if they could have improved their seeding by beating Penn St on Thursday.     I would have to look back but I had them as a 10 or 11 seed I believe after they won.

Can't, he has to have a chance to completely screw things up instead of just showing why no one wanted him for HC for nearly a decade.

Proof once again IU men’s basketball gave a teaser game in Iowa win.  I have seen this time and time again even before Woodson era and after Knight era.

I didn't understand the excitement over barely beating iowa. I get it was a win but nothing had really changed we are still a bad team.

It’s been a common occurrence for the last 3 coaches. Each time half of everyone calls out that it’s a fluke and the other half ridicules those people for being negative after a win. Rinse repeat. We’re trapped in an endless time loop of ****.

Seriously. We’ve been bad for 3 decades. I’ll take winning over moral righteousness at this point.

Not just a bad team IU men’s basketball is a bad program with no positive Self Image, No direction, and out of shape.

Will be interesting to see if IU has the NIL bank this summer like they did last. 
 

That well might run dry quickly

Teams still had to win the conference to get in early in Coach Knight's tenure. IU played in a postseason tournament for conference runners-up in 1974 called something like the commissioner's tourney or something like that.

The 75-76 season was the first year that more than one team in a conference could be in the NCAA tourney.  And of course, in that first year, the Big Ten had both of the final two teams in the Final Four (IU vs UM).

Woodson will be retained, May will be hired by someone else and IU will consider the ship sailed.
