Indiana has already vetted him, the last coaching search, that's been covered by Chris007 here, Rabby, and just about anyone. Indiana found out they don't like what's behind the curtain.

As did Kentucky and Louisville last season

Interesting take - I agree Beard would be an incredible coach. That said, I get all the feedback on his personal issues. However, people can change and can rebound. We're not a perfect species. Maybe get the guy some help in his personal life (which he'd have to be willing to do) and make the role specific to his engagement/commitment to whatever the agreed to criteria is. I mean, we don't want someone who prays too much. We don't want someone who doesn't pray enough....we're a pretty selective bunch. Hate to tell you, but Brad Stevens spoke at length about his faith at my church. Should he no longer a candidate? Many say Woodson is complete lush and I have first hand stories about that part of his life....he just hasn't been caught. I can't defend Beard's domestic abuse, but know that most abusers were abused themselves and need help.

Indiana needs to inquire about Todd Golden from Florida.  He is only 39 and his teams play hard on both offense and defense.  The buyout is only $2 million and he's currently 2nd in the nation, probably should be 1st.  

He is my number 1 choice 

I know he had some off court issues but I´m surprised he´s not being mentioned more frequently

Doug Gottlieb. 

He's only 49, he's hungry, no baggage and has only lost 24 games in his ENTIRE COLLEGIATE COACHING CAREER

He's not leaving the South. He likes the "weather" as Trilly put it

Do some research.  And check your CC statements.

Rabjohns made a good point in his video. Why would Stevens set his buddy Goodman up to look like a fool? Tell him something that is false and then let Goodman's credibility take a hit for it? Doesn't make sense

Because it wasn’t false.  Words mean things.  He was no longer a candidate — he had accepted the job.  :)

And Goodman helped his buddy throw smoke to keep it quite until announcement time. :)

Pat has told the story a few times that he had to bail him out of jail a couple times. If you know Pat that’s saying something. 

A friend will bail you out of jail.  A great friend will be sitting next to you saying “that was freaking awesome.”  :)

I think everyone has missed the obvious: BehindTheBench is no other than Chris007. I mean instant love fest and posting back and forth.

Kevin Young is at BYU because of his connections to the Suns and he's getting tons of NIL money at BYU. He's not leaving

OK, I didn’t realize they have that much NIL there. I was surprised to see he makes over 4 mill/year, but I sure like the way they play.

As @WayneFleekHoosier has been saying this all sure seems to point to Dusty. The extension still looming, the buyout, the ties and the comments at the presser. The most intriguing of those comments was when he said he hasn't even talked about the job "besides with family" or something very close to that. So haven't talked about it except with the most important people in his life. I'm at about 90% certain it'll be May and I'm cool with that.

My dad and I talk IU hoops fairly often, and he asked me who I thought and I told him May. I think he’s the most possible and it seems like IU could have had him last year, but our good ole Quinn squashed it. My money is on May.
