With all my middle aged medicines, if you get too close to me, you'll hear some leaks daily...

I bumped the profile photo size limit up. Should be a little easier now.

Wouldn't that be wild if we had a Catholic priest on the BTB board? Wonder what he'd think of all this religion talk 

Nah. That'd never happen. We're all heathens. Oh, wait, nevermind...LOL

As a preacher I would love for our next coach to genuinely love Jesus in such a way that he does NOT have to preach sermons to his team or demand they go to church with him, but RATHER that they see he walks with integrity, class, and respect… that he treats everyone (from the 5star recruit to the water boy) with compassion and kindness. That he has a reputation for looking out for the good of others BUT also works hard and is willing to model self-sacrifice for the benefit of others. A saint once said, “Preach the word and when necessary use words.”

It’s true we are hiring a coach, but there’s also more to life than basketball. So, I’d like a coach who will model the kind of values that make the world a better place.

"Mr. Unexpected: At least two basketball insiders told me this is where IU will find its coach. A guy that nobody is discussing. A veteran coach who is looking for a challenge. A guy eager to embrace the job of succeeding where Mike Woodson and Archie Miller failed."

Here are the names in the article:
Scott Drew
TJ Otzelberger
Mick Cronin
Brad Brownell
Ben McCollum
Greg McDermott
Chris Beard (unlikely)
Buzz Williams
Chris Collins
Will Wade (did say this wouldn't happen)
Tony Bennett (unlikely)

So who is everyone's "Mr. Unexpected"?  And if someone says Turgeon.......

Others have mentioned Few, Wright, Brad, and Self. I'd add Oats.

I'd be shocked if we hire someone who hasn't been at least mentioned on this board. And if so, that's probably not a good sign. I mean, we've seriously discussed Turgeon and Groce, for goodness sakes.

What scares is last year and out of nowhere Woodson is the next coach.

Have we talked about Dolson’s good buddy Mr Steve Alford?

The only reasonable takeaway is that we are hiring Brad Stevens or Big Turge

The answer is obvious.  Randy Wittman is Mr Unexpected…
