General Coach Candidate News

[rcbowla 7,558]

Brownell, McCollum, Alford and Collins would be "we struck the **** out" hires imo. There are so many good candidates that it should never get to these guys. I could get behind a Schertz if we got down that far though.

I should ammend my comment putting McCollum in with those guys. He'd just be scary as hell with the possibility of being good or making it 12 years of inept basketball.

I can see that perspective, but personally think Collins wouldn’t be a whiff.  Is he a grand slam?  Probably not on paper, but his middle name is X & O.

As a proud member of HooAnon and a Brad Stevens truther I am having a blast on this board the last few weeks. So glad I left Peegs, that place is all doom and gloom and the info has been nothing short of underwhelming at best.

He's never lost a game in D1.

Gentlemen, nothing is 0% in life.  There is a non-zero chance that I will have sex with Ana de Armas.  It's this non-zero chance that makes me get out of bed every day.

And gentlemen.....the most erotic thing in life is simply Ana de Armas saying her own name.

 

would do...

SIAP, but why would TJ want out of Iowa Stare?  Do they have NIL issues?

Just a guess but Iowa St is in the Big 12 and any coach outside of the B1G or SEC might try to jump to one of those 2 conferences because of the money difference those 2 make compared to others

Yeah I want some of that action.

Me too. What Venmo we sending to? I’ll put $25 on BTB.

And if Brad comes to fruition? BTB gets to keep the money. Worth every dime.

Truth isn't wrong here. 

Well, yeah he is.

Do I think Brad Stevens is going to come? He may, he may not. But you call other people out for not providing proof when you’re not providing proof yourself? Isn’t that a little hypocritical?

[Juwan Moye 730]

People don’t understand probabilities when they say something is “0%”. I like playing poker against these types of people.

[OKHOOSIER 4,917]

Getting caught up this early AM and come to find a BTB gambling ring was established. What a ride that catch up session was lol

Do we really think Otz is more than a dart board option? Think I would prefer Drew, but if Otz's people are actually reaching out with interest that would be quite the coup of a hire. Saw the Big12 arguments, and while valid, I think it is more related to him peaking at ISU given their resources.

I spoke to someone yesterday tied into Ames and the NIL situation is average to poor. This guy also stated if IU made an aggressive offer, ISU would have trouble matching (they already raised football and basketball ticket prices specifically to fund coach and assistant coach salaries).

Apparently the general consensus there is they have generally avoided losing their best players because they want to play for Otz versus NIL being the factor, and Otz has stayed so far because he loves ISU and Ames. Take it with a grain of salt, but I thought it was interesting.

I do not know if the poster is just not as bright as the average rock.  Or, if the poster is just trolling.  Or both.

Could just be sloppy in presenting a point.  That or the concept that some do not care about other people's opinions and thoughts and hopes.

I agree with Dale C.  And my favorite rule of thumb which is taught in some supervisor training:  Listen with the intent to understand.  Not with the intent to just respond.

Generally agree but there are nuances. The odds I will sprout wings and fly is literally 0%. The odds of Brad Stevens deciding he’d rather be the GM of IUBB rather than President of the Boston Celtics, IMO, is so low for all intents and purposes you could call it 0, though I admit it’s not 0% technically. I do think there is a very small, but non-zero chance Stevens could coach IU. The notion of betting on it really wouldn’t prove Truth Hurts correct though… just because that may not be the outcome, does not mean the chance was always 0. We really have no idea what’s going on - nobody does for real right now. We’re all just blowing different flavors of hot air. 

[Hoosier Guy 7,945]

I’m not going to entertain that guy because he’s clearly a troll.  Is there a chance that Stevens doesn’t come to IU?  Absolutely.  Though, that doesn’t mean there’s no chance he won’t come to IU.

I wish we had gambling odds on this hire.  I'd love to see how the lines move for each coach candidate.

I don't follow them at all, but I am shocked there is not any.  Heck, they had odds on what Taylor Swift was going to eat at the SB.
