Popular Post Papacap Posted March 3 Popular Post Posted March 3 4 minutes ago, ceast11 said: 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! 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….. tkbbn, Ryno6284, Hornsby and 6 others 9

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. But wait - his wife played at Iowa State!

Popular Post str8baller Posted March 3 Popular Post Posted March 3 2 hours ago, MaynardaHoosier said: I looked at hires in the big ten over the last decade, paid attention to parameters like age, winning %, tournament success, conference titles, aked an AI software to list the coaches currently in college basketball who fit the trends, eliminated coaches who were not going to be hired by IU, and then made the list. It isn't the group I would put up if I was just emotionally making a decision. It could be extremely wrong. However, there aren't a ton of people trying to put these together for discussion. I mean…you led off with Holtmann—a complete nonstarter—in the second spot. AI or not, that’s not going to generate much discussion, only disgust. 52 minutes ago, Hoosierfan2017 said: 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. My excitement for IU basketball would be pretty low. Only Turgeron would have me less excited. I’m not a Brownell hater either. Very solid coach. But he would be a very meh hire that would probably finally put the IU fandom in its place as a middling program. CSP, tkbbn, thebigweave and 6 others 7 2
MrBBall Posted March 3 Posted March 3 12 minutes ago, Trish said: 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.

I kind of doubt random “insiders” have much info at this point. Any reasonable person could’ve made that list from reading this board. In fact, the inclusion of McCollum makes me think that’s likely where it came from. 17 minutes ago, JPCIVOP said: The amazing thing is that - with hindsight - hiring Alford instead of Sampson would have clearly been the better move. Alford likely would have done at least what he managed at UCLA, and would have been excellent at recruiting the state. Would have also started to wear out his welcome right when Stevens began his assent. A nice piece of alternate history! Interesting counterfactual. He also wouldn’t have had the timing of his son, who I thought dragged those UCLA teams down a little. Kid could shoot (duh) but couldn’t guard a lamppost. Lots of talent on those teams too, but it seems everyone can recruit to UCLA. JPCIVOP 1
