Yes-without peeking I am 100 percent sure you are referring to Cronin and Beard.

Cronin is kind of a jerk (yet I would accept him), and Beard may be an alcoholic that does bad things when he drinks too much. I would say he’d be a terrible choice.

Why do people think beard has been to a billion tournaments. I said this the other day, his coaching record is good, not great.it certainly doesn’t warrant the weird hero worship he gets.  Beard has coached 5 tourney teams. Covid year he probably would have gotten in, and we’ll never know one because he got fired before the conference season started. If you don’t throw out the 30-5 at his one season at Little Rock and 7-1 before he got fired he’s basically a .680 head coach. .610 in conference. Throw out the one 30-5 year at Little Rock in conference and it’s .530 at the P5 level. 

For some reason everyone just assumes because of back to back EE with one FF at Texas Tech 7 years ago he’s been killing it his whole career and has a decade or more of experience.

Don't push it. You're gonna have to pay for that. Lol

Isaac is a complete and total troll IMO and the "March 2 3pm Foxsports" beyond confirms that for me. Personally put zero stock in him. Has helped rack up the page count though, I'll give him that. Unreal pace in this thread 

There are not people who still actually believe him I hope.

If you’re only two choices are Beard or Cronin, who you taking?

Beard, no question!

I would like to believe but it seems the day (2 weeks, Mar 1st then end of BTT) we will know keeps sliding back. Would love to have been on the AAU call or to know that we indeed scheduled games because we have our guy. But the changing date.

Unless Dolson knows for sure Stevens is coming I start ramping up my efforts for May. Can’t let second choice get away. Especially since I have May right there with Stevens. 

Any real coach would not want to be announced while the current coach is still on the job. That’s just respect to each other in the coaching fraternity. Jerry has always said before the NCAA Tournament to put the spotlight back on IU. I wouldn’t be surprised to see Jordy be the assistant GM for Brad. Hit the ground running.

Jerry is more connected than anyone that ever spoke about Billy Donovan. Don’t know if you’re new or just trying to be funny. Just giving you a heads up.

Sorry maybe I'm thinking of the Stevens fiasco in 21.

meh..get a sponsor to pay for it..

If Brad Stevens coaches at IU next year, I will tattoo "BS" on my a$$ cheek. 
Lol... happily too... upping the stakes on this speculation
(I have no tattoos) 

I would be stunned if he ends up at iu at this point. But I am waiting for Issac to change his signing date from March 2nd to march 28th

If you go back to last year and check Isaac post he knows someone. The Fox sports thing was ridiculous though.

Meh, that post does not convince me he knows anyone for real and the Fox sports thing undermines the idea he's not purely a troll. 

Just my opinion

It’s May!  I’m not on the BS train anymore, I would rather win my bet over Chris, lol!

Either is an A+ hire IMHO.

i keep thinking about actually feeling like IU has both good players and a good coach, going up against the other teams in the conference who can say the same. Would be nice after the last too many years.

For those of us too lazy to go back and check, can you share what this post from last year is about?  Did he make some prediction that happened?

I'm personally looking forward to his next update...I find it fairly entertaining.

Hello all,

I did not think I would end up in here but wanted to relay information.

1. No decision has been made. Decision will be made next week.

2. As of now I know of 4 votes who want Mike woodson replaced. And 2 votes who want him to stay. I do not know the other votes. 

3. There is a lot of respect on BoT and the BoT will not personally attack each other. If news gets out that it does then it is fake. 

4. At the end of the day we are all one family and let's support whoever is the coach next year.

 

Thanks

- IT

Coach 2 who only received 8% yes votes is Cronin.  Coach 1 is not Beard.
