If Brad wants to bring him along who are we to argue. 

All of these talking heads say it’s crazy that a president of basketball ops would step down to return to college. You just wait til they find out we convinced two to do it!

 

but actually would love it if Brad was there looking at Flemming or the other guy who hit a million threes for IU next year

If Brownell makes a final four this year do we still feel hesitant about wanting him? That would give him a better two year run that pretty much any coach we've hired this century.

I knew we were going to get the brad thing ramped back up! Please let's not go back again! Let's not post about it so brad won't have to come back out and publicly shame us again!

This just ignores reality. 
 

1) IN high school coaches are some of the best in the country and can sniff out frauds like Davis and Crean. 
 

2) IN is still one of the most fertile recruiting grounds in the country. Alienating that is plain dumb. 
 

3) piggybacking off #2, when IN kids are winning titles or making national championship game runs at other programs while you’re spinning your wheels at IU with “national “ recruits even the little ol’ grandmas in the stands know it is over for you. 
 

I have said it before and will repeat it again hundred more times: the Indiana job is hard. Huge upside, but hard. There’s too many needles to thread. You can’t just be an ol coach off the Div 1 street and automatically win because it’s Indiana.

This is pre-NIL mindset. High school and AAU coaches have about 1% the impact and influence today as they had 5 years ago.  High school recruiting hardly  matters anymore, and for the few guys ready to make an impact in year one, it’s all about the money now - not relationships.

Hate Brownwell all you want but maybe hiring a coach that respects the history of IU basketball and knows how important the state of Indiana can be to recruiting might not be a bad thing.   He isn’t going to be the first or even the 5th choice however there are plenty of other crappy routes IU could go.   Getting a sitting ACC coach wouldn’t be the end of the world.   Give me a lifer and grinder and I will give them a chance to prove me or anyone else wrong 

Sounds like Crean and his "It's Indiana" schtick... but he burned bridges with Indiana HS and AAU coaches... and recruited guys like Oladipo, Priller, Sheehey, Muniru, Cody, Hanner, Yogi, April, Anonuby, Gelon... he was all over the map... and for every really good recruit that he got, he managed to sign a bust or two...

Every coach misses on a recruit or two... but we need a guy who can do better than 50%... and then do the development

I know this is true, but I hate it.  Indiana high school coaches should have no bearing on IU basketball coaching.  Indiana high school recruits decisions should have no bearing on IU basketball.

We want a national program not a regional program.

I couldn't care less if a recruit is from Indiana or Uranus.

Rant over.

I would question the athleticism of kids from Uranus.

So lets say, It is Brad and he's signed pen to paper.... How long until press release / We find out?

 

at least 5 more games... maybe a few more if the Wizard of Broad Ripple gets hot.
