General Coach Candidate News

[WayneFleekHoosier]

Because that would be absolutely as good a hire as Stevens and quite possibly even a better hire.
Goodman talking up Otz for IU really intrigued me.

I wouldn’t go that far at all. Has a system and gets guys to compete. But UNLV was rough. Iowa State has been really good for 2 years. He’s 47. That’s nice.

Could make the argument even Will Wade is the better candidate on paper.

Stevens with his clout and NBA/general basketball connections would be something else.

Is McCollum it?

Of course not, as long as they are actually looking at bringing in an elite coach. But if they just want to bring in a mediocre safe guy to finish in the upper third of the conference each year, why not take A shot at a guy like McCollum?

Anyway, I am officially going to stop rambling on about McCollum, I know people are getting tired of reading it. I like him, but only for the above reasons, I am all about going for an elite proven winner and I hope that is the direction we take!

Yeah I was joking. He’s not my first choice, but he’s a better option than some of the names being thrown out for sure.

Not what I call inside info but hearing suddenly from sone who were at one time connected not to discount Otz. Fingers crossed

Okay then. Forget about Pitino. What if I told you we could get a former B1G coach of the year who’s have a crazy good season in a really good conference, and this guy is young.

Would that guy interest you?

No on Holtman? I'm confused because he's not having a good year. Who you talking about? I'd say Groce but he didn't win B1G COY

You didn't ask me, but it's a trick question.

You're still referring to ...

How far would McCollum have to go in the NCAAT this year to assuage the concerns of those who think he can’t hack it?

[Iufan71]

Not sure all who is really wanting Cronin......definately not myself. He does get to the tourney regularly for the most part, but usually a game or two and out. 

Love reading all of you peoples and your sort of "insider" sources posts. Gonna be a long month to wait and find out who our next coach is. Hopefully Dolson makes the pick 100% on his own with only advice from others.

Not 1 pick with satisfy every fan. People still will complain, whoever it is..please give him a chance before you start the next "Fire the coach webpage"

Wade deserves more consideration.

Mullins dropped 52 tonight.  Thanks Woody. 

Not to put the cart before the horse or anything but I bet IF (and that's a big if) Brad Stevens is the hire, we got a shot at flipping Mullins. Dude really wanted to be a Hoosier and from all reports Woodson just failed to recruit him. Barely tried. Didn't show up to hardly any of his games, didn't return his coach's phone calls. Straight up didn't do his job.

What makes Otz a better candidate than Cronin?

I don’t think he can’t hack it but people’s concerns with McCollum will probably not be assuaged by an NCAAT run because their concerns have more to do with the fact he’s never been associated with a P5 program in any capacity.

Goodman pumping up Otzelberger in a video this week. 

Last week, I saw him on a YouTube video pimpin' Beard for the IU job. 

Wonder who it'll be next? 

Hard to put my finger on it, but I just don't care for that dude. I do think, however, his daughter does a pretty good job reporting on women's hoops.

He’s just trying to throw us off the Brad scent.

I don't think I could bring myself to root for us if we hired Will Wade.
