Pretty sure he’d be walking the sideline in Lexington or Louisville if he wasn’t radioactive.  Getting “vetted” by Ole Miss is laughable.

Getting our ***** kicked by Ole Miss is more than laughable, it’s reality. That’s Indiana basketball 2025.

Not even a former student manager for Knights team wants to coach here.

I will continue to scream McCollum’s name from the mountaintop. 
 

He’s elite! 
 

When’s the last time Indiana has had the best tactician on the sideline? Prime Knight? McCollum would be the very best X’s & O’s coach 9.9 times out of 10. 
 

He’s got a chance to tie Drake’s single season wins record, in year 1 of Division 1, with FOUR D2 transfers starting. 

He’s not a flash in the pan. He dominates everywhere he goes. Why would that change at all place where he will have no problems getting talent? 
 

We missed on Stevens and May? Don’t miss on this no brainer. And he is a no brainer. We are all going to find out in short order. 
 

What would everyone’s position have been in TJ Otz prior to his immediate succes at ISU? 

Not the flashiest of names but if he gets chosen , I’ll give him a fair shake.

There is only 1 like to your post and I am not going to get into a debate with you on this because that is not who I am, but please make your comments to the thread that’s dedicated to him.  IU is not going to hire the next Archie Miller and Scott Dolson and company are the only ones who will make that decision and they don’t read this message board.  Thanks!

Beard or Will Wade or we’re completely screwed.

Boycott everything IU including the football program until this is fixed.  People keep supporting IU and then are surprised that things never change.

FWIW, the ball-knowing high schoolers I teach are all of the opinion that Will Wade would be a big win.

Will he play Closing Time by Semisonic after games as some might at the end of parties? If so, I’m in

Brad Brownell has tons of experience at another football school... 

It doesn't have to be Brownell since I'm sure Alford would take the job if offered. There are plenty of other bad options still available. lol

Just so I have this straight if we don’t get Chris Beard or Will Wade you are boycotting everything IU?

For those wondering if it really takes him off the board since the buyout went to only $7.5M, after reading this article I'd say yes.

https://www.cbssports.com/college-basketball/news/dusty-may-michigan-agree-to-contract-extension-amid-indiana-basketball-coaching-search/

"I think it makes it obvious: I'm staying at Michigan," May told CBS Sports, adding, "I really wasn't interested in leveraging in negotiating" 

Other info from the article:

CBS Sports can exclusively report on the details of May's new contract terms:

• A one-year extension on the deal, which now runs through the spring of 2030
• An increase of $1 million annually in salary
• A pay bump across the board for the Michigan men's basketball staff
• A big increase investment for program resources, including Michigan's NIL war chest
• A buyout that will rise to $7.5 million

We knew this would happen. Only 4 left from my top 5 of Beard, Drew, Pearl or Billy D. Who’s it gonna be?

Hoping the Paint Crew can get it done... Buckner, Woodson and the program deserves to be embarrassed at home.

Yep. Told my wife the other day, love the Hoosiers but I don’t want a run, don’t want the B1G tourney, don’t want the NCAA tourney bid and don’t want an NIT invite. Just want this season done and over with as fast as possible so we can turn the page and move on. Anything else just delays the inevitable. Stick a fork in it and be done already so everybody can move on.

Has to be someone really good.  Yes.  Beard or Wade or someone I believe is extremely unlikely.  Yes.

Yeah that’s absolutely not a risk that IU can afford to take.
