Hard not to be impressed seeing Bates production there. 

It’s Gates. He’s not an innovator; he’s a very smart motivator that players would run through a brick wall for.

Bill Self has been slacking. Top 3 Nil in the Country and he’s floundering. Maybe our next coach might want Kory Bidunga?

2 years in a row really struggling with a top roster on paper. With his heart and results, I wonder how much longer he stays with it.

Word around my neck of the woods is Flory is going to play one more year of college and with his host family still here, maybe the next IU coach takes a shot?...

Would seem like a great target to me. If so, we better get some shooters to surround him with.

Clearly he knows how to set them up for success and get the best out of them. Being a good motivator is one of the most important things for a college coach. The Pitino clip you shared in the other thread was excellent. 

I think being a motivator is probably Dan Hurley's biggest strength. They are struggling this year but every game is close. They never get blown out. Their perimeter defense is not as good as it has been and their bigs are not Sanogo or Clingan. But that staff sets them up to succeed and gets every ounce of effort out of their teams. I'm excited to watch a coach with some fire at IU.

Saying he is not an innovator seems inconsistent with your earlier comment about being a great coach.

It’s been talked about many other places besides this board.  If not, why the need for Goodman’s tweet?

There is little doubt that IU has been in communication with Stevens. There has been for 13 years. That’s not new. Why did Stevens do the whole masshole thing 4 years ago? Why did Goodman ask him for an interview? Because people are talking about him and Indiana just like they have each cycle.

This whole done deal thing has been done before without it being done. Hopefully Dolson has learned from last time and isn’t doing things to our schedule and with recruiting until it is signed sealed and delivered.

Nate Oats is really trying to remove himself from our list of desired candidates tonight isnt he

Let me add, if Dolson was in fact doing things externally with schedules and AAU coaches at the request of Stevens without a signed contract in place, especially given what transpired 4 years ago we’re screwed. 

all the stories that keep getting shared that is intended to prop Dolson makes me less and less confident he’s not screwing it up again.

i sincerely hope he was not building a schedule and speaking to AAU coaches on behalf of a non candidate. That’s really really stupid

Please tell me more... when did he screw up previously?

I think great coaches steal sets from each other all the time. Don't have to be innovative to do that IMO.

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.

So perhaps as early as when our season ends?  How likely is it we make the BT tournament?  Limited space right?

Ask Jim Harbaugh about coaxes stealing stuff

Only top 15 make it.  3 teams get left out.   They project to make it but still a path where they don’t even make the B1G tourney

It was so interesting from a basketball fan standpoint to see him develop as a player- from thinking about what to do/how to react to just instinctively doing it ...many games it was an alley oop festival and shot blocking clinic for sure...

Who is that?  Tijan Jobe, Bawa Munuri, Peter Jurkin, Guy Marchel, Daryl Pegram?

We’ve had so many big man studs the past 25 years it’s hard to keep track.

Peter Jurkin. Went on to average a whole 4 points and 3 boards for his career.
