This should go without saying obviously, but there will be no press conference tomorrow. I’ll be able to take the lid off a bit later in the week. But will say this, anybody providing details right no

So I couldn’t get much from him unfortunately. But, to me that’s a good thing. There’s been pretty much zero chatter, nor leaks for a month about coaches. He said it doesn’t matter that the season is

At least three discussions relating to the job now, most recently with the search firm, not IU directly. 

I appreciate the specificity, even if I’m skeptical. 
 

Are you a Maryland fan? Have those fans had any remorse or self reflection for running Turgeon out to get worse results from Willard? I’ve always wondered that. (Not equating this to IU—Woodson has to go, though I guess you could draw a parallel to Crean.)

This is the insanity I come here for. Outstanding entertainment. I'm pulling for you, Issac. 

How do the naysayers not enjoy this? Even if it doesn't happen...so entertaining...

I'm one of the biggest Stevens naysayers on here, but have been hitting refresh on this thread non-stop. 

Peak entertainment!

Or....and hear me out

Running off a coach, and alum at that, who has taken his team to the tournament 3 times in 4 seasons relegates the candidate list to "mediocre P5 coaches" and hungry up and comers. 

C'mon - you know that's a very small part of the reason. Missing one tourney in 4 years would keep most coaches in place. It's not his losses that killed him - it's how he got some of them (too many) and how very ill prepared we looked when we did. 

The UofL and Gonzaga losses killed most of us - we had high hopes and really wanted to give CW one more chance - he won the offseason and we were pumped. But in those game we just looked like a mid major playing in the big leagues. Embarrassing.

We win a couple games (against much lower talent) then we run into a 'meh' Nebraska team and lose by almost 20. And it wasn't close - embarrassing again.

We go on a bit of a roll - win some good ones - Rutgers was a decent win.

Then we proceed to go 2-10 starting with a 20 point loss @ a bad Iowa team and 20 pt loss against a decent Illinois team at home - exposed and very ugly. A couple of those losses were very obviously Coaching mess ups in the last plays - embarrassing mess ups - like announcers being mystified on our own network kinda mess ups.

While most of us aren't Coaches but a lot of us have been watching basketball for most of our lives - we recognize when there aren't any adjustments of note - that we try to do the same things with the same results and put our selves one more in the loss column game after game.

 This coaching search I just want a decent X and Os guys who put a product on the floor I can be proud of - that fights and executes an identifiable game plan with consistency. If Crean didn't have such dramatic down years I would have been okay with him - I screamed and yelled every game in the stands his first 3 years cause I loved what those kids were trying to do and how much heart they put into it. While we may not be the most realistic fans - we aren't stupid - I go to games in different stadiums/arenas - you can hear the difference between a knowledgeable fan base and one who is not  i.e. if the fans are knowledgeable listen for when they boo calls - different then average fans imho.

Sorry I know I went off a bit - I'll bring it back on track - who do I want as coach? A solid human being with decent work ethic that realizes the advantages and disadvantages of a place like IU - plus with the TP I do expect to win by year 2. With our resources I don't think that's impossible.
