If your top choices say no hire Buzz Williams. Take the backlash from fans that will most definitely happen and enjoy watching an actual college basketball coach build a program that will compete for the upper tier of the conference and make the tournament most of the year.   He led Virginia Tech to 3 straight tourneys.  Virginia Tech.    IU hasn’t made 3 straight tourneys in 20 + years.    If your guys say no hire a college basketball lifer like Buzz. 

A&M could keep him if they wanted, I’m guessing. They have so much money they can even splash some at basketball. If they want…

Any chance with Tommy Lloyd?

Same age as Oats and teams have had better defensive ratings. 

Below is the top 15 coaches from the start of the 2021-2022 season until now according to torvik.

We have AT LEAST a month imo. I'll set the number at 1750.5 pages. We did almost 800 in 2021 and didn't have an in-season firing.

Absolutely serious, I think anywhere you turn and look at what we need to finally succeed after Knight success wise. He fits the mold

Checking in. Fully prepared for IU to rip my heart out again, though I don’t think anything could hurt more than the “IU is hiring Mike Woodson” notification did. 

[Redcamaro 292]

If we can't get one of our top picks, I would be fine with Buzz.

Mentored by the general, quotes him while whipping @$$ of team knight hated, passion fire teams play the same. And apparently redeemable

Ok I don't want to get too deep in the weeds on this. I am in no way denying Beard's coaching acumen. He is one of the best coaches in the game. 

BUT I find it very unlikely that a university that fired a historic coach due to multiple reports of physical violence would be ok bringing on a coach with a history of physical violence. Add in the alleged heavy  alcohol use (which Kevin Wilson also had and the university did not care for), and it seems like a very long shot.

I mean, plenty fair enough. Just be our loss

If the university is stick to some moral high ground then we deserve what we get. That’s been part of the problem the last 15 years.

Brad Stevens isn’t a done deal yet?
