Do you really mean that, or are you just trying to appease @Stuhoo???

LOL

I think he is a really good coach. I like him at Cleveland St.   he can relate with the younger generation and he has put his time in.  Hamilton isn’t a bad coach to learn from

Breaking an NCAA rule isn’t a crime. I thought you were a lawyer? Ouch.

1. If a guy is guilty of breaking the rules to the point that he gets fired and has a show cause, you really think he won’t find a way to break whatever rules exist now?

2. For a guy you claim is so smart, he was really dumb to allow himself to have conversations recorded that led to his demise.

3. For a university that has consistently shown that optics are important, your pushing Wade down everyone’s throats shows you aren’t reading the situation correctly.

4. For a poster who has pretty much alienated himself from almost everyone on this board, you certainly don’t know how to read the room. Either that, or your comment that Wade doesn’t care what people think of him applies to you as well…

Wait a minute. Are you Will Wade?

At least McCollum has won national championships. Also most of the all time greats started at a low level and then got their power conference program 

I’m not doubting McCollum’s ability to draw up a play or execute X’s and O’s.

I want IU to hire someone who will succeed here. I thought that’s what we all universally want?

Will Wade is one of the few coaches capable of succeeding here that would actual take the IU job.

You have no basis for saying that about McCollum. Shame on you for the character assassination. Grow up. LoL

By the way @AH1971, when @Home Jersey quotes your “Grow up” personal attack and follows it with an lol? That is not a rules violation; that is simply echoing that you are acting inappropriately. @Home Jersey is a class act.

On the other hand… say you just tried to report @Home Jersey to me for violating board rules? That would have been a baaaad thing to do.

So there’s a different set of rules for different posters?

Interesting and noted.

There is one set of rules.

Every poster reacts to them differently and every situation is different. The mods collectively interpret the rules.

Curious  if you could choose a basketball coach  anyone that is currently alive shall we say ,who would it be and why ?Right now I have no idea who every time I think of someone ,they are either kind of old or have problems or are no good

I'm going with Beard!  I don't know why, just feel he would do what he did at Tech and more!

Also an RMK disciple, which to me is kind of a big deal.

Beard, Brad, Drew and May have gotten over the hump. 

[Muskie plays the four 404]

Ben or Bucky for me and of course the guy in Boston at the moment.

My Stuhoo-Dennis Gates 

is Grant Mccasland.  That guy is a passionate winner.  Masterclass of an ejection in tonight’s game.  He’s got some fire.

I would take McCasland over Gates. He seems like he might be a decent hire.

Due just to how he's doing this year, I'd take Gates over the other Stuhoo favorite, Shrewsberry. I don't really want either one, though.

MCcasland has the best odds to be the next Oats type guy with the right resources imo.

Depending on what happens with Hubert Davis, Indiana could be in a battle with UNC for the same candidates.

I haven't watched TT and have seen only a bit of UM but comparing his resume to May's, I'd take him over May. He doesn't have the FF run that May has but he has a much longer resume as HC and has done a good job everywhere he's gone with success in other tournaments. CBI and NIT Championships at North Texas, 2 D2 E8 in 2 years, as well as NJCAA runner-up and champion.

I wouldn't be upset if he was hired. I'm still not 100% sold on May.

Nothing against his coaching, but when I see him, I can't unsee Squeek from BASEketball! LOL
