Are they keeping secrets or are we just not hearing about it. I’ve said a couple times I’ve heard one person saying they’re on the next staff. 

I must have missed that...

This should go without saying obviously, but there will be no press conference tomorrow. I’ll be able to take the lid off a bit later in the week. But will say this, anybody providing details right no

I’ve had several PM’s so wanted to drop a quick line to the broader board. Love this group and fully intend to continue to contribute to the community, Im not going anywhere. (Sorry to a few of you) B

So I couldn’t get much from him unfortunately. But, to me that’s a good thing. There’s been pretty much zero chatter, nor leaks for a month about coaches. He said it doesn’t matter that the season is

Zeller went to a basketball game so some leaped to the only reasonable explanation, I.e., that Brad Stevens is our new coach and Cody Zeller was scouting in his capacity as Brad’s soon to be GM.. Lol 

This post pretty much sums up the IU fanbase during a coaching search. LOL

I can you a quick ‘top of my head’ list of 15 that are more qualified than McCollum. And even better, I’ll leave the Stevens, Pearl, Drew, Few, etc types out- so guys that IU have a legit chance with:

Schertz, McDermott, Byington, McCasland, Buzz, Calhoun, Gates, Pitino jr, DeVries, Luke Murray, Collins, Brownell, McMillan, McDermott And the best of all… Otz! That’s 15 off the top of my head and 13 of them are 52 or under.

 

and I even left Cronin off for you

 

 

Yeah, but you dropped some other names, too.  I've made my comments about Buzz.  Not one bit interested.  He and platitudes are good friends.

Calhoun is on same level as McCollum and Schertz to me and 3rd on that list

Byington is only okay. Same w DeVries and Murray.  Just "guys."

Gates?  You're more interested in a guy with an overall .570 winning % and who in year 2 at Missouri had a winless conference season over a guy who's won 81% of his games overall and won 24 games this season?

Pitino, Jr. - over who?  He's not even been "good."   His record is very mediocre and we beat him regularly with very average teams.

I like Brownell, too.   Collins is interesting.  I'd love to see what he can do with more and better resources.

I don't see any of these guys as more sure things at IU than McCollum is.  I like Schertz better and I think I'd be happy with Brownell; but Buzz is all Texas and doesn't fit here.  His brand of basketball is solely "be more athletic."  His offense is 100% ball centric and stands around way too much.  Watched them yesterday.

TJ Otz....   I'm not sure on him.  I think he's okay....but I also think we've seen his ceiling.  I'd support him but I question whether or not he can be a 20-year "great" coach.    I think Schertz and McCollum offer that chance more than he does.  The danger I see is fans judging next season because of the precedent set by the football program.

Again, one man's opinion.  I like Schertz.... and the only case against McCollum I've seen is "not enough experience yet."   But....he wins.  Like I said, I'd rather have the next great coach and give him a season or two if his next 20 will be great than watch him succeed elsewhere and have our ceiling be the Sweet 16 once in a while because we missed the timing again and settled for "someone with more experience" even if his record isn't nearly as good.

It does make sense why people would think it’s one of those two.  Beard has been saying PRO IU stuff and mentioning Bobby Knight for awhile now. So obviously Dolson has that avenue covered.   Stevens isn’t coaching and could easily give the nod behind closed doors.  I’m no insider, but be prepared for Chris Beard.  I’ll be hoping for Brad Stevens.

Feel free to go to another board if you are unsatisfied with management on this board with how they run things  

Nice deflection.

So the message from moderators is, if you have a concern that doesn’t jive with the majority of, we won’t consider your concerns, just go away.

Understand more every day how this place works

I would be thrilled with Beard! As someone noted, we might lose a few fans but we would gain a new generation of rabid fans as he would win big here

Don’t go anywhere. I never agreed with your unwavering support of Woodson but appreciate your fandom. Stick around, hopefully good times are ahead!

This is my personal head canon and I cannot be persuaded otherwise. lmao

Got an idea!

Let’s agree that Chris Collins is a real option under consideration (he is), is still surprisingly young, is a really quality guy whose teams play incredibly hard, and who would be guy that might not win the press release, but could be a helluva good choice.
