Yet Gates and Richard Pitino get mocked even though they overcame adversity and are irrefutably successful. Byington and Shaheen Holloway gonna be that guy too.

SMH.

By the way, Richard Pitino’s guys played USC and UCLA this year.

Beat USC by ten and UCLA by eight.

Other than this year he has not had great years there at New Mexico right?  In the BT seems he had 1 good year with several years in the bottom quartile. Probably one to watch but can’t see him make this jump this year.

Iowa also wants Matt Gatens and they are getting worried that some other BIG team (Indiana Minnesota??) will find out what a brilliant coach he is and steal him away.  

I think if Fran does go, they should get Shrews, and keep with the crazy.  Watching Frantrum was the high light of Big Ten basketball during the Woodson years.  At least for me.

Forgot all about Gatens. They’ve been talking about him as the next guy basically from the day they hired him, right?

Anyone else getting a callus on their finger tip from refreshing too much? My finger tip is starting to look like I play the guitar. 

when you've been married long enough, the callouses aren't from refreshing an internet sports website...

Inherited a New Mexico team that went 6-16 the year before he got there and has gone:

13-19, 22-12, 26-10, 22-4

He is absolutely crushing it at New Mexico

Beard vs Golden

I found the recent polling done to be very interesting.  The results showed that 66% of the voters would want Todd Golden as their next coach at IU and only 44% would want Beard.  Golden was accused of a University Title IX violation for sexually stalking, harassing, and sending unwanted di@k pics to women on social media.  The university investigated and said that he did not violate Title IX.  Because of privacy reasons around Title IX that is all the University of Florida said.  It did not say these things did not happen, just that he did not violate Title IX.  The University of Florida took several months to investigate and eventually backed Golden. 

Beard was accused and arrested for hitting and biting his girlfriend during an argument.  Beard said he was defending himself, and his girlfriend at the time claims that was true and she did not think Beard was trying to harm her.  Charges were not filed against Beard.  The University of Texas was reactionary and suspended and fired Beard rather quickly.  

I don't think IU would or should hire either one.  There are enough good coaches without hiring someone with this type of baggage.  I'm just interested why Golden is not being held to the same standards as Beard.  Were voters not familiar with the complaints?  

There are photos of what beard did to show he did do it regardless of charges. Golden got backed and a release by his lawyers said there was zero evidence that he did what was accused. Add in Florida backed him it appears that the allegations were not true. That’s my guess as to why there is a difference in peoples opinions.

His dad is arguably the best college coach in the last 30 years. Jr seems to be coming into his own

He is a dark horse in my opinion, and moving up my list of preferences. One of those guys that needs the right program...

Sounds like a good reason to cross Musselman and Cronin off the list.

 

Im starting to think you have a finders fee agreement with mini Pitino.

You're not crazy when  you talk to yourself, it's when you like your own posts.

Always going to be like this during coach search season.    Holtmann best example of this.   Came out of the gate at OSU and most talked about how he was up the road and IU should have got him.  Slowly his stock dropped and he ended up getting let go mid season last year.   Now he is at DePaul.
