I don’t think it really matters, just throwing out some names to help the flow of the board and get more pages. We both know who it’s going to be. Say it for me.

My reactions to potential candidates:

Cronin: Meh (Good coach, but I don't like him)

McCollum: Meh (Great success at lower level, but not proven)

Buzz: Mildly happy (only an above average coach, but I like him)

McDermott: Very happy

T.J. Otz: Dancing in my living room

Drew: Dancing in my living room

Stevens: Running through the street naked

Brownell: **** you, Scott Dolson

 

 

No McCasland? Id put him between Buzz and McDermott i think.

IMHO, that "treatment" was warranted. Light reveals truth.

Warranted or not, it pretty much guaranteed rabby losing access.

Year 1 took final four UCLA to the wire in the round of 32 . 
 

flipped generational in state talent Eric Gordon 

was a stellar 22-4 (despite the fact that supposedly every player besides Gordon and White were on drugs) . When he was fired . Whipped Purdue. Everything you could want in a ball coach ! Haha 
 

all other violations are now legal . Probably less controversial of a hire than Beard lol SD had an Ace up his sleeve this whole time boys !

@Loaded Chicken Sandwichmade a great list of games to watch in the college basketball thread but from an IU coach standpoint these would be the games to watch

Lies spewed?  Come on.  Message board comments are almost always speculative. What we think or what this “expert” said.  Even people saying it will be this guy aren’t lying if wrong.  It should go without saying that every post is someone’s opinion. 

It's annoying when you're having an argument/discussion and someone portrays their opinion as fact.  "He choked is fiancé unconscious". False.  "Kentucky and Louisville passed on beard after back ground checks" -unsubstantiated.

He would probably be in the McDermott tier for me.  Doesn't have a ton of history at this level; but him having TT up and running by year 2 is a major green flag.

I think @loadedchickensandwich put one on the college basketball thread earlier.

@Trish do you think it’s strange that Dolson is scheduling games and there’s rumors floating about potential GM’s/support staff retention without a HC?

Michigan makes exceptions for athletes.  NW not so much.  Fitz was able to negotiate some relief years ago which is why football could sometimes compete.  Collins probably did as well.  But the are still very stingy on whom the let in.  

Michigan doesn’t make exceptions for transfers unless they are grad transfers.  Not the same as northwestern but there are limits.  If Danny Wolf had been Joe Schmoe from Auburn instead of an Ivy League guy, it might have been an issue.

Do I think Brownell ultimately gets the job? No. But he’s more than a non-zero candidate. 

If guys like Brownell and Turgeon are really being considered then just shut down our basketball program and put the money into football, soccer, and baseball.

Not too strange with the scheduling. Indiana wants to be in big games, on TV, in large crowds when they can. Especially with the new era of college athletics starting this July, Indiana wants to be a national brand. 
 

I could see Hulls and Calbert being retained. Everyone else though, I’m not buying it. The GM role is becoming popular in MBB and WBB. It’s basically what Sleepy Armond Hill is. A fancy title for an advisor to the program.
