There’s a guy named IU Scott over there who’s pretty plugged in…


 

 

when it comes to reporting on other IU forums. 

Seems like there are a lot of those! lol

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

I’ve had several PM’s so wanted to drop a quick line to the broader board. Love this group and fully intend to continue to contribute to the community, Im not going anywhere. (Sorry to a few of you) B

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

We went over this stat a few hundred pages back. 
 

Under this stat, Brad Brownell qualifies. Lots of small school coaches who couldn’t hack it in the big times would.  
 

I **kind of** like it as an “eliminator” stat, but it isn’t dispositive.  Under this stat you would have eliminated Coach K (the most prolific coach since Wooden) and Hurley and possibly Roy Williams (depending on your stance on ties). That’s a whole lot of championships missed to put a lot of weight in that heuristic.  
 

The stat kind of just tells you something you already know to be true: great coaches at the highest level were also really good coaches at a lower level. 

Yes. I don't think it's a predictive stat, more of an affirming one.

he won't get me! Are we seriously still on the Stevens to IU train AGAIN?  Weren't we due news shortly after the NBA All Star game regarding mister Stevens?  We all but certain got a rash of he's not coming and onto the next if I recall.  At this rate, IF and I am not certain why I am even considering putting this sentence in but here I am doing so IF Stevens becomes our HC, the expectations will be even higher if he becomes the HC then say any other individual not named Stevens how soon before our intense fan base runs him off if he delivers subpar or results similar to Woody?

"We"? There is no "we" as far as having an opinion on Stevens one way or another. Some people believe he'll be the next coach, some people believe that IU at least has a chance, and others believe he's not a legitimate possibility.

so multiple people having the same opinion on say Stevens cannot be considered "we"?

I guess Brownell did do it this year

Brownell will most likely set it again this year. But again…depending on what data set you use and whether or not ties count, he already has it at Clemson. 
 

Billy Gillispie had it at A&M when he was hired at UK. And Turgereon would’ve been second (just like Coach K and Hurley!!) when he left for Maryland. Shaka had it at TCU when he left for, and subsequently flamed out at, Texas.  
 

Just not a great stat for predictive value, imo. Otoh, if you’re candidate can’t muster up the best season in history at a lower school (or second best, at least) it seems like there won’t be any championships in your future. With that said, Crean was second on marquettes list when he left for Indiana.

Jerry said from the beginning that we wouldn't hear an announcement till after Selection Sunday. Hasn't waivered and he is probably the most plugged in so I am not getting off the train lol

Jerry as good as he is sometimes, has swung and missed on other coaching searches. I’ll be the first to apologize if I’m wrong, but it doesn’t feel right again this time.

You seemed to be using "we" as an all-encompassing opinion of the board. There is not one of those.

I think this is more the point that was being made. As you said previously it can be more of a disqualifying data point.

"we" as in those that don't think Stevens will be the HC at IU.

FWIW Brownell signed an extension last summer, he makes 3.5 with set raises. I seriously doubt we would give someone like BB a raise to leave. His current contract would have him in the upper half of the B1G as it stands. My guess is he is angling for more NIL funding for his program, not any actual desire to leave.

He has minimal pressure, Clemson is an absolutely gorgeous area to live with extremely low cost of living and nice lakes, nice weather, and has decent support for a non-basketball school. The Clemson campus reminds me of Bloomington more than any campus I have visited, but with the added advantage of mountains and mild winter. Great little town. I love Btown, and there are almost no college towns I would put ahead of it but Clemson is one of them in terms of livability. I would honestly be pretty surprised if he really wants to leave all that for IU. Smells like agent smoke to me. JMO

I can't speak to whether or not Brownell will be offered (doubt it) or if he would take it but I absolutely agree with you on the area. I live 20 minutes from campus and my family and I love it here. Yes, Clemson's campus reminds me a lot of Bloomington and we love walking with our dogs and kids and stopping for '55 Exchange ice cream...there's no Mother Bears but it definitely has a lot going for it!
