I’ll just say I’m encouraged by Chris’ tone today

Groce being posted as a candidate is humorous. But he was responsible for this. Still pisses me off ... 

Although Crean getting schooled, or Cody and/or Watford falling asleep and getting lost might actually have been more to blame! 
 

 

Watford got picked and Cody didn't switch, had nightmares about that for weeks, hated Ill in those days, like today, lol

Think I've solved it -- Isaac is IU Hoosier 41 reappearing to drive engagement, clicks, and ad revenue.

I know all of that already.

That optics of running off a coach who has made the tournament 3/4 years isn't appealing to a well-established coach currently in a good situation. This is a huge reason why Dusty May wasn't interested in the IU job. 

Imaging Dusty May being like, "Hey we've been a perennial underachieving bubble team.  I've done my job. " LMAO

Reached out too or been turned down? May and Stevens aren't coming to IU. Neither is Pearl, neither is Oats, neither are a bunch of these other names being floated. And if we aren't going to go after Cronin and refuse to talk to guys like Wade/Beard, this is what your candidate list most likely appears as of today

Tier A

Drew/Otzelberger (don't see him leaving Ames)

Tier B

Brad Brownell

Tier C

McCollum/Byington

You're vastly overestimating the IU job and how it pertains to certain candidates.

For sure , also (knock on wood) the lack of Stevens contract renewal or news with the Celtics . That would be the straw that broke the camels back for me . 
 

even with the hoops team playIng better and if they make a little run next week and make the tourney 3 more weeks of this ugh it’s tough .

For having a realistic perspective? 

Otzelberger would be a home run and Drew would be a very solid hire. I wouldn't be thrilled with Brownell but would be interesting if given the right resources and support, his honey-moon would last about 2 weeks however.

McCollum/Byington are a flip of the coin. 

Who do you think IU is hiring?

I understand what you're saying and that might be the key to all of this and hoping you are right...there have been at least some whispers and discussions going around and if he gets key backing of some boosters again. It's not necessarily a foregone conclusion. 

Mike Woodson will not be Indiana’s coach next year. Period.

The lack of Stevens + Celtic News can be encouraging, however I don't know that there's necessarily a rush to do anything with front office contracts at all before they get the ownership all figured out.

Here's the real question, when they do announce a new coach in a few weeks, do they wake Hill up for the announcement or just roll him out the door chair and all?

I think he's already packed up his home in Bloomington. He's ready for the Florida sunshine!

Good morning BTB, March 2nd came and went with no Fox Sports announcement. I move to officially ban @IsaacTor. 

I’m only half joking.

Looks like he banned himself

A solid college basketball coach that has grinded his way up the ranks.  Don’t really care about the name just a breath of fresh air knowing an actual college basketball coach will be leading the program instead of a coach that had 0 college basketball coaching experience before he was hired

Mike Woodson will not be Indiana’s coach next year. Period. 

But right now he is just doing his job.

I believe he will leave on his own volition and will walk away carrying...
