So you're saying we're right and old fart is wrong? Because that's what I'm hearing

That's pretty much always the right answer for everything.

Page counts vary because you can change how many posts show up per page in account settings.

I looked through my setting everywhere I can think to look and didn't see this as a setting anywhere?  Maybe bc you're a mod?

[Hornsby]

It's sounds like it's time to bring in the closer...

 

Ferguson LOL

Yeah bringing in that clown will do wonders. He is probably I mourning anyway since his boy won't be back.

So….old farts are magnified by 100 so he can read them? Probably only has 4 posts per page?

I wish this could be pinned to the top of every recruit/coaching search page. It's exactly right.

Aren’t you a mod?

Cliff seems like a great guy...but man oh man has our shooting sucked in the 8 years he's been here. 

I think part of the problem is he’s a football guy so he’s still truly not figured out what works for basketball guys.

I just noticed that a post I made yesterday was deleted. I just want to publicly apologize to @MikeRoberts if my post offended you. I assure you it was all done in fun, you are one of the best posters on here. Now back to finding our new coach!

Isiah Thomas for GM. Has NBA and college experience. Hoosier legend. Book it.

Correlation or Causation? Archie's teams at Rhode Island aren't shooting the lights out either. Woodson hasn't exactly recruited many known shooters beside Luke Goode, who is shooting 41% this season for 3 even after a terrible November.

100%. Shooting translates.  We only really recruit 1 shooter at a time.  And usually that shooter is fairly good on limited attempts.  

Now, shooting development is a whole another ball of wax and we've been bad at that from 3.  That's not a Cliff problem imo.

To clarify one thing on my end, I don’t think people are just making up rumors. At least not on here. I feel like pushback against “inside information” is often seen as an attack on the people posting it. I don’t think folks are coming onto btownbanners and posting fan fiction. I think they’re told things by people they know, and then they let us in on that information. Sometimes people get bad info. Other times good info becomes bad info because life happens and circumstances change. We’ll see how this all shakes out. 

I goes from we reached out to a certain coach to Billy Donovan is looking at horse farms in Bloomington within about 2-3 people.

I know I’m repeating what others have said, but I can’t imagine for one second that Dolson would talk to AAU coaches without:

A. Being extremely confident that the Stevens thing is a done deal.
B. Stevens knowledge/approval/direction

He isn’t stupid and it makes no sense to do it without both points A & B being in place.

The scheduling thing is also interesting to me because I asked a ways back how many people thought Stevens had a good working knowledge of IU’s roster and no one really responded. Getting games scheduled without a confirmed head coach indicates that we do have someone we expect and they seem to have a pretty good grip on what the program needs, what our personnel could look like,  and on the college landscape in general.

I would think (and I could be wayyy off base) that Brad Stevens said to Scott here is my list of things I want done if you want me to accept: 1. Beef up the non conference schedule 2. Talk to AAU coaches that bridges have been burned 3. Give me the GM I want and any assistant GM’s I want to bring on. I’m sure more things will come down the pipeline as the days go on and it will all lead to things Brad required. If he doesn’t accept then it’s ok because those things needed fixed anyways.

If you synthesize a few pieces of the info you can imagine that part of the point of the two weeks is negotiating, not simply “take this time to decide.”

So you tell your candidate we’ll do ANYTHING, stay in touch, but then you ALSO start doing the things he’s already mentioned:

1. In-region neutral site game vs. a good program: United Center vs. Marquette

2. Another high major home game: maybe that’s the Kansas State rumor? Haven’t seen anything about game site.

3. He says HS recruiting will be important, so you tell the regional AAU programs (and maybe HS coaches) that whoever’s next will want to rebuild the deteriorated relationships.

4. Maybe he has ideas about program admin structure, so you say we’ll hire a GM, let me go raise $ for the job. He wants some additional non-coaching staffers, yes, we have the money for that.

etc.
