Note that I said "during the season", not if he stays at UM. He knows the IU job is open but if he's in such a hurry to sign the extension during the season, then I just don't think he was ever really interested in coaching at IU at all. 

If it's after the season, he listens to IU's pitch and then says no, then I could see how year 4 Woodson might have cost us May. But not a during the season extension. There was the report that May turned down UL because it was a fishbowl, so maybe he never would have ended up at IU.

Woodson still should not have gotten year 4, regardless. It's sad that we're arguing these hypotheticals because of that.

The "fishbowl" discussion is interesting. No way to know before we know... but the IU job > than the UL job (in my mind, and many around here)... and the fact that Dusty was an alum is also a factor that could tip the "fishbowl" discussion in our favor... we shall see...

Stevens to me is a pipe dream as much as I would love to have him. I was a little skeptical how Dusty would adjust to high D1 basketball, but he has done a great job and would be a home run hire. I hope we can still land him.

I'm at the point that if we miss out on these two, that we can still land a coach that can be successful here. We have the resources. What we have endured the past 8 years with Archie and Woodson, I can't fathom we can do much worse than that. It is fun to talk about Banner 6, but the reality is that we are further away from a title as we have ever been. I wasn't a Crean guy, but I do miss watching teams that were fun to watch and were nationally relevant.

I really don't care who we hire. I just want a coach that who has some fire to him, understands game management, values tough teams, can keep us consistently in the top 25, and someone who we believe has the opportunity to take us on a ran come March. Im tired of watching bad, disinterested teams. I'm ready to enjoy IU basketball again.

That’s terrible news.

I have a 2:30 dental cleaning appointment that day.

Can we move this to 3:15 so that I can watch it live?

Please confirm- thanks.

I'm convinced there's one weirdo, multiple-personality type troll on here who has like 20 different accounts.

Reminds me of an old poem ... 

Roses are red
Violets are blue
I'm a schizophrenic
And so am I

What kind of dentist is open on a Sunday? That's ridiculous.

Also I think given the trauma of Archie and Woodson people are forgetting how exhausting Crean was as a human being. This is something that the Wikipedia coaching records can never capture. What does it feel like for this person to be a character in our lives? Crean had some real positives. (Remember him taking McDonald’s to a person outside the restaurant?) But he was stubborn and defensive and awkward and honestly kinda manic. 
 

And he was inconsistent, and his trajectory was going down. Recruiting was tailing off locally and nationally. Juwan and OG were diamonds in the rough but we were all tired of an irritating coach who wouldn’t adjust his turnovers or defense and who also needed to find diamonds in the rough. 
 

Most days, I remember the good parts of the Crean era. But it was time to move on from him, and it’s worth reflecting on the legit bad parts too. 

Also, we were temporarily banned from the state of Hawaii due to his FT shooting display and abuse of the hawaiin shirt.

Busted!

Actually, my Sunday appointment at 2:30 pm is a lunch meeting inside Chick-fil-A.

I probably lurked for what seems like 10 years without posting. Every game, every off-season, coaching search etc. 

I had been for about 5 years, and I get a kick sometimes about what gets under people's skin on some stuff.

WHAT?!!?

How am I gonna properly feed those on duty US Postal Service employees?

Ah well; I guess I’ll just have to bring food for them to eat inside the post office.

Long term lurker here (look at my join date), What I'm wondering is Chris 007 is wrong more than he is right, then when he is called out he throughs a fit and threatens to quit posting and people kiss his a## till he comes back, then he posts stuff that is more wrong than right, but he is an "insider" that doesn't  know SH_T

 

Looks like the "sleeper cells" are waking up... not much of a "lurker" if you can try to sell that tripe... 

back to your cave, miner...

If that were true there never would have been a Goodman statement on Feb 14th with a long way to go in the season 

Really?  There was enough discussion on here and on twitter for that to have gotten to Goodman.  Given that we apparently went after him before and if Goodman knows him why not reach out to check for a comment.  Goodman may know that Stevens was not likely to go back to college and could have done this to laugh at IU or could have felt he was somewhat close last time and was looking for a story.  There was enough smoke for him to at least check it out

We have confirmed the appointment for Stuhoo.  Just answer one question:  Is it Brad?

Also, fwiw, Brad Brownell fits this criteria. 

Which school did he get the all time single season wins at?

It’s nuanced, but your tone could lead one to believe that the timing of Brad’s announcement feels off to you somehow?

Either his first year at Wright State 23-10 or 2017 at Cornell 25-10  or this year yet to come at Cornell.  

Attended some of his coached years at WSU here just 5 miles from my home.  And grew up on the east side of Evansville...I went to Bosse and he went to Harrison.  

[Hoosier Guy 8,333]

I’ll laugh so hard if Isaac turns out to be correct.  That would be beyond hysterical.
