cleeter Posted February 14 Posted February 14 FWIW I would still be shocked if anyone other than Brad is the coach next year. FWIW….i love when you say that. Please be right. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk IUHAHN81, Chris007, tkbbn and 1 other 2 2

Just thought going by the schedule it was that time for a new name to pop up. Even if we hired this 66 year old we would still be in better shape than the last 4 years. He has lost his fast ball but he can coach. If I’m remembering right his agents out his name out there last cycle and he probably got a nice little raise Hovadipo and thebigweave 2

I can’t sing its praises enough at the price point. Thinking pass on $60 for 100 proof, which is Barrell Foundation's lower offering instead of cask strength. I will get 4 Roses Single Barrell. Thanks, though.
jumpshot53 Posted February 14 Posted February 14 Dusty grew up hating UK and UL. Could be a reason why he wouldn't want to coach at either of those places. Michigan and Indiana's rivalry isn't that big of a deal. Michigan hates Ohio State and MSU, so the Wolverines were a good choice if he plans to leave them one day and return to.

Saying Brad can get a title or two in 25 years isn’t that crazy. Less crazy than saying he will be out catch in 2025 lolSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk lillurk 1

Ranked every year and sweet 16 every year or banner year every year. I'd say expectation for the next coach, Brad or someone else, should be ranked in the top 25 and competing for the conference title every year. Wouldn't say top 3, top 4, etc. Too many variables to be that prescriptive IMO. Understand there will be good years - where you win the conference and make a run in March - and other years where you're building or "down" and maybe bounce early in March or underachieve in B10 play. Over a 4 year period, you're probably entitled to one down year and should have one "good" year. Context is important though... if there are obvious red flags, cut bait when it's clear it won't work out. Equally, with as big of an NIL budget as IU provides, etc. fans should expect to see results quickly from the next coach IMO. Year 1 or year 2 need to be good as in competing for the B10 title and ideally a second weekend in March. OKHOOSIER 1
realTomCrean Posted February 14 Posted February 14 We all know it's Brad, so why are we contemplating other choices? Wish ya the best Dusty! lillurk and ClarkCoHoosier 2

Buzz would come in and compete for conference titles and make the tourney. He has done it at every stop. 3 straight tourneys at Virginia tech is impressive. The dude is a grinder and has a love for the history of college basketball Even if he isn’t the guy to get national titles he would be the guy to make this program an actual basketball program and leave it better for the next person who could take them to the next step if Buzz couldn’t. I personally think if he was at IU that he would be able to lead IU far in the tourney Muskie plays the four, Parakeet Jones, Home Jersey and 1 other 4
