Cronins buyout is pretty big though. $16m prior to March, 31st. $10m after that.

Not sure he warrants that but will be curious to watch how it all plays out.

That’s where I am at. I’d be fine with him, I’d just be shocked if someone was willing to pony that for him. Oats I’d understand.

Offer McCastland 7 years 50 mil and make him  turn it down.

 

I’d hope we have our sights aimed higher for that much money.

And this is why you take a HUGE grain of salt with everything you hear. Even national reporters getting put in a trash can lol

Back the damn truck up for Oats. I may be happier with an Oats hire than a Stevens hire.

Nate Oats is a fantastic coach.  There’s just no way in hell he’s coming to IU.

On something like a seven year deal it’s an extra $1.5M/yr if you amortize it.  I know the buyout is paid shortly after hiring him just another way to look at it.  That hurts but it may be doable.

March can’t get here soon enough

Oats is the guy I’d throw a record deal at and make him say no.

I can only read your responses in the voice of The Dude. And I’m thankful for that.

I’d 100% be happier with Oats, I just have always thought he’s less realistic than even Brad.

Same. I don’t think we should pay 16 million buyout for Cronin or 18 million for Buzz Williams, but for Oats I say pay the 18 million.

How does it work?  I heard we are using a search firm to do background checks.  I assume like regular employment we have to get permission from any candidate to do a background check.  Do we wait until we are down to our final 1 or 2 candidates to do background checks or do coaches give these firms prior permission to do a background check in case a potential job upgrade becomes available?

Any fun rumors today?

Yes, we won’t hear anything official until Drake’s season is over. So it won’t be at least until the second weekend in the NCAAT.

And when he says “No”….?   Who do we go to next?

Vandy is up 44-31 at half against Tennessee…on the road.  Hmmm…let’s see how the second half goes.  :)
