Next coach who has not been mentioned… Avery Johnson!

-Available immediately, so checks that box.

-Coaching experience in a major college conference, although with lackluster results. Did go to one NCAA tournament, so checks that box.

-Was a better NBA coach, with 3 seasons of 50+ wins, so can relate to recruits what it takes to get to the league. Checks that box.

-Would make Crean look like he was in quicksand on the sidelines. So there’s that.

-And most importantly, was known as “The Little General “ as a player. That’s almost destiny, would bring the program full circle, and harken it back to its glory days!

Only acceptable if they play a clip of him saying "pecan roll" every time we execute a pick and roll on offense.

Also, this post made me even more excited for March Madness as it's typically the only I get hear Avery call a game - which is always fantastic.

I would say he knows more about what’s going on than anyone on this site. I’m sure when this is all over he will have some great stories.JMO

Alternate take: he knows a ton but doesn’t want to be bludgeoned with questions.

The new Utah coach says he plans on finishing the season with the Mavs before going to Utah.  That's in mid April.  Seems like a terrible decision when the portal opens March 24th.  I think I'd want a refund if I was Utah. 

What would the team do without him? Doesn't want to give up on a (checks standings) last place season?

Someone has kept a low profile since stepping down.  Maybe he's been talking with Scott. 

No please. A good coach, but can't stand pace of play!!

Tom Crean says hello.

Who would've ever guessed Syracuse was gonna run a zone defense?

What HAVEN'T we argued about yet? History!!  How about this- Vicksburg was more important to ending the war than Gettysburg. Discuss. 

Here's some trivia for you: John Tyler was the 10th President, born in 1790. He has 2 grandsons that are still living! He had children late in life and so did his son. Remarkable.

What does this have to do with IU's coaching search? You know what John Tyler did not have? A beard.....make of that what you will.

Of course, if Meade would have pursued Lee after the 3rd Day at Gettysburg,  it might be a different argument.

Interesting quote from Rabs: “It’s always possible, but Beard wasn’t a major player in Mullins’ recruitment, so that would be a surprise flip. If the new IU coach was Stevens or May, you’d be looking at very different odds.”

"Doing more for the coaching profession since 1970, than Mike Woodson".

Wow. We’re really digging deep for the next coach.

Thought…..if he had the NIL, he might increase the pace if he had the horses.

I see the thread has slowed. I'm glad everyone has decided to accept Brad as the next coach.

Wow a MCDAA wasn't interested in playing at Mississippi? Hard hitting insight from Rabby.

Reminds me of that calm, heavy, still, quiet air, right before a tornado.

Rabjohns knows nothing. He's just regurgitating the names message board posters are discussing the most.
