Agreed.

But, for fun, let's say IU can have it's choice of the following (for equivalent money with salary/buyouts). Who do you pick?

Few - Proven winner, but no title. Would likely be hungry to get over the hump here. Probably only has 8-10 years left, max, though.

Drew - Proven, national championship coach. But recent results slipping a bit. Does he still have the hunger? At 54, could be the guy for ~15 years.

Otzelberger- Never advanced beyond the Sweet 16, but has had immediate, impressive success at Iowa State. Clearly still hungry. Could be here 20-25 years if all goes well.

 

Drew

Few

 

Otzelberger

Whoa...is there a disagreement on something and two people are being cordial and understanding that there can be differentiating opinions? Cheers you two.

There’s a good post from the athletic department guy on HSN that will probably get this thread humming today.

ok.. the Drew rumblings and then you think about the alleged meeting with Indiana Elite that Dolson had.... hmmmmmmmm lol... I am not a conspiracy guy, usually, that's kinda something though, right? What it means, I have no idea.

For those that care...apparently Trilly posted on his Discord (I am not a paying member for that) that Ben McCollum would choose Iowa over IU if he were offered both positions. This brought much gnashing of teeth and "woe is me" fatalism from many.

Meanwhile, on Peegs, Jeff Rabjohns posted that Ben McCollum is "one of the coaches IU has reached out to/about". He posted that McCollum is not the only one but he is one. What does any of it mean? That is for people smarter than me (there are many, many options that qualify) to figure out!

He was considered a home run hire by 99 percent of the national media and people in college basketball.   Most on here thought the same thing.   @Joshhowever from the very beginning hated the hire and said he would fail from the beginning.   Josh was right 

I'll take "Things you don't hear every day" for $1000.

That's been said for a while. He wants Iowa.

if the meeting happened at all lol 

[DSUMMITT 96]

Can someone please just when they announce the coach - post it - hack into the time/space continuum - backdate the post to now (or right when we announced the retirement) and let us know who it is?

If I have to do this for another 3 or 4 weeks my head may explode.

It did. I know who was in the meeting. Even Rabby confirmed it. Except it was over lunch

If I recall, Miller was considered an "ok" hire at the time due to his past runs with Dayton, but we all know how that worked out.  That's why most here are wary of going with the mid-major flavor of the month type for this hire.  Regardless, you make a good point.  The mismanagement of the IU Basketball brand has been atrocious through some of these past coaching hires and it can only go up from here.

A lot of people loved the Miller hire and thought it was a homerun. I thought it was a double at best, I wasn't at all surprised we had to move on.

Where is KathywithaC and her infinite wisdom? Are we cross-checking her predictions/knowledge with what's transpiring?

And you didn't share? For shame.

[Stuhoo 85,361]

Ya know who probably has a pretty good idea of who our next coach is going to be?

Trent Sisley and Harun Zrno.

I would have to do some digging but I believe my "grade" of the hire was a double as well.  It was evident early on with Miller that it wasn't going to work.

Trying to get the process back in order after Woodson voluntarily chose to retire and totally caught the brain trust off guard.

I'm on board with this...

I've mixed feeling. I looked at his record last night. He's really only had 3 or 4 great years. Most years are 20 plus wins but also double digit loses. Maybe he could do better with more resources.
