Juwan Moye Posted February 28 Posted February 28 9 minutes ago, HoosierHuddle said: I do not think Brad Stevens is going to be the new head coach but I don't know how that all is going to play out. Certainly not with any level of confidence. I would be VERY surprised if Bryson Tucker or Mackenzie Mgbako are on IU's roster next season. Tucker in particular looks checked out, at least for the little bits they showed of him during the Penn State game.
Chris007 Posted February 28 Posted February 28 48 minutes ago, TadQueasy said: @Chris007 do you remember a guy here telling you Archie was going to be the head coach like jackal says? I don't exactly but not saying he isn't right. He said it was a different username so that might be it. Also, I was on the Archie train from Christmas on so if someone told me that, I was already believing it myself. I was way wrong but I thought Archie was the guy for a while. There is a lot of info being thrown out right now because the search is the talk of the town. But if people were made to sign something to be quiet about a certain candidate, then people start talking about others. Smokescreens. But I honestly don't know what's real and what's not right now so I'm trying to listen to everyone. HoosierSadaseci, thebigweave, lillurk and 2 others 3 2
HinnyHoosier Posted February 28 Posted February 28 8 minutes ago, IU Prof said: Personally, I'd be kinda surprised if the new coach kept any of the three. Malik seems like a good kid, but as someone else put it, he's the type of player that gets you fired. Good enough you have to play him, but too many holes in his game to be a key cog in a championship level team. Mgbako needs a change of scenery. Rumor is that Tucker has been difficult behind the scenes (which is saying something with this crew). I think you need a full reset to fix the culture. I think Malik is the kind of player that gets you fired only because you have to play him but don't know how use him correctly nor develop him. With the right coaching staff he can be a key piece. As for the other two I agree. I think Tucker's dad also poses some difficulty if I remember. Happy trails to them. Hardwood83 and Hovadipo 2

A good coach would know that Malik either has to develop his game beyond 10-feet or needs to accept being a small ball 5 and really focus on being able to defend as a 5. Our roster construction did Malik no favors. thebigweave, HinnyHoosier and MikeRoberts 3

Popular Post tyappleg Posted February 28 Popular Post Posted February 28 From what I can tell, Otz signing that contract now, actually would benefit Indiana if we were interested.

tyappleg Posted February 28 Posted February 28 10 minutes ago, Hovadipo said: Otz contract is really odd. The two things we know (salary and buyout) are to his benefit, and you have to assume there are some financial support promises in there for him too. Contracts are a two way street but on the surface it looks like ISU is getting railroaded. Someone make it make sense. Possibly more financial commitment to the basketball program as a whole with NIL, but not sure if that would go into a coaches contract or not. lillurk and Hovadipo 2

But that is just my opinion. At the UCLA game, Tucker got taken out, gave Woodson and one of the assistants a death stare for like 5 minutes and then checked out the rest of the game. lillurk, JustWinBaby, IU Prof and 2 others 5
Hoosierfanyuh Posted February 28 Posted February 28 I like Malik as a back up big but I’m not Sure he’d be willing to take on that role. Programs like bama and auburn have had success having people take on secondary roles. Chris007 1

AZ Hoosier Posted February 28 Posted February 28 1 hour ago, DoctorP said: Makes sense. “Universally liked” and currently coaching leads me to think Drew. With Cronin and one more rounding out the top 3. McCollum as plan D or E. Could we call Cronin "universally liked"? What constitutes "universal"? I've seen plenty of dissenters around these parts, and I am one, as well... not a fan of his personality, coupled with a somewhat pedestrian record at Cincinnati and UCLA...

Cupps might be kept around for positive culture. on Tucker: sequence of events — when he got pulled after 5 minutes against UCLA, he was laughing as he went to the bench. I would assume that an assistant said something to him about his attitude (rightly so) and Tucker didn’t handle it well. thebigweave 1
