Uspshoosier Posted February 9 Posted February 9 Cronin is 9-4 in the B1G in his first year. Last time an IU coach was 5 games over in conference was? I would guess Crean would have been the last coach to be 5 games over .500 at any point during a season lillurk, kottke, thebigweave and 3 others 6
IU Prof Posted February 9 Posted February 9 I kind of feel like if Stevens was a non-starter, the administration would be trying to tamp that speculation down ASAP, to avoid setting the eventual hire up for a disappointing reception. Especially after last time around. thebigweave 1

For just a little while, I want to believe we'll hire someone that will actually make our enemies uncomfortable. Yeah if we hire Cronin I might be lost forever as a fan.

But I have to imagine that this go around, Dolson is controlling things. He certainly has earned that right, so hopefully, egos stay out of this. AZ Hoosier 1

TheWatShot Posted February 9 Posted February 9 33 minutes ago, Alford Bailey said: If you’ve been around for the last couple coaching searches you should know not to believe much of what is posted on here until you start to see in media outlets too. The BS rumors that have been posted here over the years are completely false according to a star player on the Butler FF runs who is still well connected to Stevens. So don't believe what you just posted? I haven't seen it in any media outlets anywhere. RoadRage, RaceToTheTop and Chris007 1 2
Home Jersey Posted February 9 Posted February 9 I will enjoy reading the rumors and conversation here but truthfully have no idea who the coach will be until it’s officially announced. Hopefully it’s at least by the time the portal opens on March 24. The sooner the better obviously. Curious to see how they build their staff. kottke, Napleshoosier, RoadRage and 1 other 4

But he doesn't win enough to justify his antics, and the fact he wins a lot and UC and UCLA still just want him to go away is proof we'd just do the same.

WRSMick55 Posted February 9 Posted February 9 30 minutes ago, JSHoosier said: People should prepare to be disappointed. The only legitimately good coach we've hired in the last quarter century was Sampson, and each one since has been progressively worse. Indiana has shown complete and utter incompetence at hiring basketball coaches, there's no reason to believe they'll get it right this time. It's kind of impressive how awful they've been at hiring, you'd almost have to try to be that bad. Don’t know who will end up being hired, and realize Dolson didn’t hire all, BUT seems they’ve not done bad in other sports besides men’s bb: football, soccer, women’s bb, baseball, swimming/diving, volleyball. No doubt men’s bb been terrible but willing to give Dolson benefit of doubt and a mulligan on Woodson due to possible political interference. kottke, go iu bb and T White 3
