General Coach Candidate News

Recommended Posts

After listening to this, I want TJ Otzelberger even more. Already had great defense on his teams and now the offense is getting there. Doesn't just concentrate on just on side of the court.

They talk about Otzelberger, McDermott, Buzz Williams, and Tommy Lloyd. Candidate talk starts at about 28 minutes. Before that is the Purdue game and a bit about May's extension.

I could easily think of some where the pitfchforks should come out. Fortunately I don't think IU is dumb enough to hire any of them.

I say that realizing we're replacing a guy no one thought we would be dumb enough to hire.

I think it'll be ok as long as it's not Mike Davis, Tom Crean, Archie Miller, or Mike Woodson

EDIT: or Dan Dakich or Steve Alford

EDIT #2:  Sorry @realTomCrean

I’ve done some digging on RTZ. Zion is a reference to the national park in Southern Utah. If RTZ is meeting with a source who is an AP pollster that means it’s a smaller list of people. He said the pollster is northeast-focused. Of course, the northeast is relative. And what’s northeast of Southern Utah? Indiana. Know who’s an AP pollster? One Jeffrey Rabjohns. Boom. 
 

RTZ is having lunch with Rabby discussing Brad Steven’s coaching staff.

I’m just worried about this scenario and it’ll sting more than anything…..

Brad wants to coach again. Loves IU. Would love to coach IU. IU has the money, the years, the NIL budget, etc etc

BUT

His daughter doesn’t want to relocate and wants to finish high school where she calls home (and I wouldn’t blame her) and at the end of the day, Brad doesn’t come.

I’d be more worried about that guy getting the job. 
 

Big 5 star recruit is playing in Indianapolis…oops, sorry can’t go recruit, the daughter has a dance recital. 
 

Purdue coming to town mid February for the conference standings lead…too bad, need to take the wife Valentines Day shopping instead of scout.  
 

You have to be married to this job to succeed. Anyone that tenuous about accepting the job is setting themselves up for failure no matter how talented they are as a coach. Stevens would be awesome here, but if he doesn’t want to be here no amount of money you could throw at him would make him successful here. He’d fail like everyone else.
