I think it would really help to have a separate Brad Stevens thread. 

Little late for that doncha think?

Trilly posted his hot board...I did not see it so I am relying on the information provided to be accurate. Likely all agents and other coaches speculating but for whatever it is worth, his list was as follows:

Tier One - Otzelberger/Drew

Tier Two - McCollum/Brownell/McDermott

 

Oooof. 
 

From what I’ve heard. TJ wants to stay at Iowa State. I highly doubt Drew has any interest in the Indiana job. 
 

Taking a risk on McCollum would be a choice, not a popular one. I don’t imagine the boosters would be happy with that. Could throw in the Clemson coach as well despite recent uptick in his career. 
 

Greg would be interesting. They have NIL and money over there at Creighton. Does he want to be in the Big Ten at Indiana? His name gets thrown around for every big opening but he has stayed put.

A Mike Woodson hire followed by a Brad Brownell hire would be a harder one-two punch to the gut than anything Muhammad Ali could ever dream of landing. 

But it's such an iu thing to do. Then wpe spend months gaslighting ourselves that it could work. Just like with woodson
Bronwell just needs 13 years to get this thing going.

Thread should be titled:

"General Coach Candidate News But Only the Candidates I Think Should Be Discussed"

Good idea, that's basically what this thread is now.

IU brass is coming around to the idea of Chris Beard in Bloomington. Lots of conversations by his agents behind the scenes this past weekend, trying to prove that he is a new man. Not a done deal, but it’s trending toward at least a possibility. 

Don’t shoot the messenger!

If that's truly the case, either hell has frozen over or Dolson has been taken behind the woodshed one too many times.

Don’t forget we also hired Archie right before Woodson.

But archie was a sure thing home run. I see guys on rwitter claiming the same thing about mccollum. He winsand he will win here they say. I guess they totally forgot about the archie hype.

I think you should make Stu go through all 1680 messages and hand pick out all the Brad Stevens post and move then to their own thread :-)

I'm not going to shoot you, but I'm afraid he might be a little late. But what do I know

It wouldn't surprise ANYONE in the least if Otz or Drew passed on the IU job (if they were actually offered). Both have non-basketball-related reasons that could keep them in their current conditions. 

Drew passed on the Kentucky job last year.He loves being at a Christian college. Of course he might pass on IU, as Kentucky has been a much better job over the past 25 years (at least) than the IU job.

And Otz's wife played at Iowa State, so who knows if he will ever leave Ames? 

I think it’s generally assumed within the coaching fraternity that Otz (among other coaches) would drop whatever he’s doing and run to Lawrence if Self retired. I suspect that is why his buyout was substantially reduced in his most recent extension-Kansas job, and maybe Texas job, more than the IU job.

Osterman will be the Twitter to watch

Osterman's Twitter doesn't have anything about a BBall coach, but they did sign the Olympic winning swimmer out of Carmel.  So there's that.

Why do people who complain about this thread continue posting in it...

You certainly have info but few are as connected as isaac tor

I just don’t see it but I’ll say this. I know a lot of IU fans who don’t frequent message boards who would be ecstatic about Beard. I totally get why some would not be and for that reason, don’t see it. But if it came down to Beard or Brownell…..

But wait - his wife played at Iowa State! DWS

Obviously Stevens is out, and Brownell, Turgeon, and Beard are in play...

I've just heard we are pretty far along with a candidate or two so I think Beard is just late to the game. Both of these would be bigger than him anyway
