Jackal, I have been trying to prep the board for the inevitable this whole week. The Beard train is gaining major momentum each day. Those with previous concerns seem to be finding some grace within their hearts to open up to the idea of him leading the Hoosiers. It will be interesting to see how it all plays out. What once seemed as a long shot, seemingly doesn't seem so long anymore.

If we can't get stevens or drew I am all in on beard over guys like bronwell and the huss bus

Sorry, love ya Stu, but I'd rather be on a high horse than advocate for a coach from High Point that isn't going to be the coach.  And if you want to harp on his record as associate head coach, just go after the guy that was actually the head coach.

Oh; is it that easy?

As @Uspshoosier has clearly stated, the guy that is "actually the head coach" at Creighton is in charge of

• a better,
• more successful program with
• better attendance than IU, and
• in a better conference.
• And his team practices at a building named "The McDermott Center." And he's 60. 

AND PEOPLE TURN UP THEIR NOSES AT HIM TOO!

So yes, if we want to "Oumar Ballo/Bryson Tucker/Miles Rice Style" overpay for him? Then we've got a shot with McDermott; but that's the primary way it could happen.

I miss the old BTB where debate and info (right or wrong) was accepted or ignored. The hateful personal attacks always come from a subset of new posters

Shut up @realTomCrean !!

Kidding!

Why? I'm only here to read certain posts, especially not yours. I don't come her to read everyone's opinion. I come here for the info the "insiders" put out. Just skip over me. You comments are useless to me. Good day.

If you came here for inside info, well I feel sorry for you. At least you aren't paying for it on Peegs.

Please no threats like that!! I'd bet if we held a straw poll to see whose posts the board wants to see more, you or Ken Nunn the Injurt Lawyer, I'm guessing it'd be a landslide

.....and exactly how would we know whose sources are correct when you won't even say who the candidates are?  Pretty easy to say you aren't wrong when you never said what was right.

I shared the names I heard with a few posters on here via DM. not sharing here. sorry to be vague but tipped my hand a bit too much under my previous username with the archie info and my guy found out and wasn't thrilled. he's also a family member who gives me insane amount of access to IU athletics, not someone i'm trying to piss off. 

Correct, i haven't heard anything since last thursday. almost a week and a lot can change in that timeframe. heard Stevens wants nothing to do with CBB, and loves life in the NBA, but money talks i guess. The sale of the celtics isn't a big deal to him, he wants to stay in boston but will have several NBA offers if he doesn't 

Think i will withhold my info moving forward. understand the skepticism but i see why people with actual info choose not to overshare

Don’t you make me post Archie’s Dayton record. Don’t you put that evil on me!!

I just don't think the Archie argument is a very good one for discrediting, for lack of a better term, every midmajor coach. 

Jay Wright, Bill Self, Coach K, Bob Knight, Scott Drew, Pitino, Billy Donovan and a massive list past those individuals.... all came from a midmajor.

The huss bus sounds like archie. Archie finished in first both of his last two seasons in Dayton. We can't be messing around with flavors of the month anymore

Full disclosure: I did not count to verify this, but Chris does not post 2 million times a day on here. 

(And if you choose not to believe his posts, that's fine. But you have no call to get snippy here. Chris is just passing along what he he hears).

IU vetted and didn’t hire Beard last time, BEFORE the incident that cost him the Texas job. If someone you trust says it’s Beard, either you’re being strung among or your source is.

Not trying to start an argument but we don't know that they even got to the vetting process last hire. It could've been that Beard had a pretty strong inclination that UT was opening up and he told the search committee (I guess Dolson since no committee was hired) that he wasn't interested. Could also be that Dolson didn't even inquire about Beard. All of those could be true and not many of us will ever know the truth.

His incessant posting has caused me to sustain an injury to my F5 finger. Do you think we have a case?

[realTomCrean 2,136]

FTR, I have predicted Stevens, Beard, CTC all within the last month. Give me my flowers in a few weeks fellas
