General Coach Candidate News

I've got to give several long time insiders their due...they're either right about Brad, or intent on going down with the ship this time. Hope it's the former!

I still don't think it will happen but you gotta give them credit for sticking with the prediction.

Is this based on any real info or just your opinion, regarding Stevens?  You are presenting as knowing with certainty rather than speculating as others make clear.

he's being sarcastic lol

As long as his head isn't grotesquely large in his time at IU like in that picture. Yikes.

I personally do not like the idea of Scott Drew as the next coach simply because I think he’s fading off a bit and would rather not have a coach that has spent his better years at another school.

Only 31 pages to 1500, can one of the Insiders post a cryptic message so all can go crazy for a bit.

I'm trying to be a lot more careful this time than I was last time. But I will say if I find out that IU has moved on, I will be the first one on here saying McDermott or whoever is my guy.

Has he hired you to respond or is this volunteer work for you?

I'd rather have Stevens but it'd be difficult to complain about Scott Drew. He's 54 so we could still have more than 10 good years.

Why be more careful! We all know you think stevens. Say it loud proud and often. If it is what you are hearing. Who cares if people on here call you out because at this point they are going to anyhow

Hiring Drew would be pretty funny after Kentucky wined and dined him and got turned down. Aside from him being a great coach, that would be worth its weight in UK salt.

The UK tears alone with be worth the cost of the contract.

thanks . . . i've spent last few minutes rewatching Hanner's HS highlights on youtube - if only we ran the open dunk system, would have been a legend

Saw him in AAU an event in Bloomington with my brother and he was dominated by a 6'3" guy from Bloomington North I believe.

My brother who did some high-school coaching, That kid can't play a lick.

LOL

I think Drew would be good for IU...

I will when I have heard from someone I trust that it is a done deal. Some others have heard things like that but I have not. 

Also I thought it was done last time, people believed me, I felt I let them down and I got some really nasty emails from people. Just trying to avoid that

Where do you get that he's fading off a bit?  He's still finished in the top 4 of the Big 12 (the best conference in basketball during that time) the last 6 years and hasn't finished worse than 7th since 2010-2011.  Sure it's a down year this year, but nothing tells me he is fading.   

Most proven coaches are going to have had really good years at previous stops. 

If Scott Drew says yes, you take him and run.
