rcbowla Posted February 10 Posted February 10 The more I think about this the more I want Beard. We're not hiring someone to teach a moral and ethics class. We're hiring someone to win basketball games. If he can keep his nose clean then it'll be 20 years of excellence. Imagine this time-line: we hire Dusty and in turn UM hires Beard. In the next 5 years IU continues to struggle and May is on the hot seat meanwhile UM has a final 4 and another 2nd weekend trip. P92, Iufan93, Juwan Moye and 1 other 4

We have already been set back 8 + years since Crean, we can’t afford 4 more years of mediocre, we will lose too many fans and supporters, IMO IF IU doesn't land Stevens, and hires someone other than McCollum, they will be kicking themselves 5 years from now. Risky is not hiring someone with 4 National Championships. Risky would be hiring someone with a history of Domestic Violence. SlammySammy and Scotty R 2

It lets him do his work behind the scenes without people paying attention. All I keep thinking Dolson is like Snidely Whiplash here…… lol IUHAHN81, Chris007 and SlammySammy 2 1

Risky is not hiring someone with 4 National Championships. Risky would be hiring someone with a history of Domestic Violence. Risky would be hiring someone with a history of domestic violence and alcohol abuse. Risky would also be hiring someone who has quite literally never played against a ranked team, and has never beaten a team in the NET top 40, and has coached less than 25 division one games. There are tons of coaches that have great success at lower levels. But there are very few that can manage an operation as complex, big money, and involved as Indiana basketball. That doesn’t mean that McCollum won’t succeed greatly somewhere, it just means that he would be extraordinarily risky for Indiana. There are a whole truckload of options that are neither Chris Beard nor Ben McCollum. AZ Hoosier, JF87, go iu bb and 1 other 3 1

The problem is he hasn’t proven he can recruit at a high level… yes he can coach but he also brought 4 players who he’s coached for years who are comfortable with him. If I knew he could successfully recruit then I totally agree. Winning in the MVC and getting players to buy into your offense is a lot easier to do in that conference… players in the P4 aren’t gonna be so easy to recruit because they know stats is what gets them to the league. cybergates 1

I doubt it’ll will be Beard but if it is, I’ll trust they did their due diligence. And then root like hell for IU. RoadRage, Iufan93 and jrvarner31 3
