I was told it is in June but not sure what date for sure. But you are correct that is what it could mean. But from the IU side people state he has said he misses the coaching aspect of it. But that could be slanted our way

To be fair, BS has publicly said that on a podcast. How he misses the feeling of being on the court, I need to find it, I think it was on a podcast last year.

I’ll never understand the McDermott love. I’m very confident he’d be an epic failure.  I can’t always spot success even if it’s right in front of me but I can almost always spot a train wreck a mile away.  We do not want McDermott.

Probably would be but might be one of the only options. No dui. No arrests

Care to Elaborate? Not necessarily disagreeing but I like a lot of his schemes. I’d prefer someone a bit younger personally.

Chris has every right to make stevens predictions and people on here can believe what they want regarding it. I just know he said stevens was coming four years ago. I don't think there is hardly any chance he comes but that my opinion.

I've said 3 times today I don't think he'll end up being the coach, but I also said he hasn't said no yet. But people hear what they want to hear

All I know is the next coach better not have even a parking ticket on his resume!

So you don’t differentiate between things people did or might do again? Many have said IU has to get this hire right but if you hire a guy who let’s has been fired for off court issues.  If I your the AD, and have to get this right, you are saying you don’t care if a guy you hire might have a higher propensity to not pan out because of off court issues?

If Stevens' contract ends in a few months (I don't have that confirmed), his lack of an extension is very likely linked to the impending sale and not his happiness with the franchise. I think we'll see an extension for him announced at the time the new ownership group is announced. That's assuming its his preferred group. 

Exactly my thoughts,  too...

In other words, you don't hire a guy that has been and still is an untreated alcoholic. If someone has prior problems and they have taken real steps to make sure they won't happen again? That could be acceptable.

If it’s not Stevens (sorry just can’t let go yet) or Drew, my prediction is McDermott

I'd certainly rather have McDermott than McCollum. IU has whiffed on too many hires to take that risk.

Be very careful — you’re not allowed to have Stevens insight that doesn’t align with the hopes and dreams and delusions of this board. 

Why are you even here? Good Grief!!! SMH!!!

IIRC, he said he misses the teaching aspect and sometimes the chess match.

I’m honestly not sure how many more ways you have to say this lol

I don't think that comparison is fair to Edwards.  He actually did some good things.  I have not seen anything from this guy but complaining and bad shots. 

Jay liked the extracurriculars a bit much I've been told.

He'd be 61 when the season starts and he's another Alford.  Good at small schools not cut out for a big job.  I promise you they'd regret that hire.  The fans would be rooting for his firing from the jump.  Much better to go with an up and comer if it got that far.  I highly doubt it does.

McDermott wouldn’t be my top choice, but I’d be stoked if we got him. Sure, someone younger would be nice but the man is a great coach and could elevate IU right away. I don’t think he’d be some “settle for” candidate at all.

Don't agree with this at all. He is a very good coach. Alford was a good recruiter. Wish he was younger but I just want to win. He is a winner in the big east. That isn't some tiny conference

I think McDermott is great, and think he would do very well at IU. Having said that, he isn't 1 of the 5 names i heard about yesterday. Other names I didn't hear: Brownell, Buzz, or Cronin (which surprised me)
