Cronin is a real solid coach who would win a lot of games here. He just has an abrasive personality that turns a lot of fans off. 

Feel like I’ve been taking crazy pills that no one wants a coach who has won nearly 70% of his games and March success at the P4 level. People are really hand waving Beards baggage then saying Cronin is an ******* so I don’t want him. Cronin would never miss the tournament and have us in the hunt for the B1G every year. It’s crazy to me how much of a sure thing he is if the goal is to win a bunch of basketball games.

He is high on the Peegs hot board so there is some smoke there for him to jump onto the top when he wasn’t even on the first 2 posted.  Once he was high on the hot board I started posting about him more.   I’ve always liked him.  His offense is fun to watch 

He gets shooters and keeps them shooting. Sign me up.

The rumors are fun but this is why I said I would believe it when I see it happen, concerning Stevens. 
 

Now on to the real search. That’s the benefit of BS saying no so quickly. Michigan is trying to give May more money. Now Dolson can zero in and work a deal with his agent being the top candidate. Michigan has deep pockets, but will they spend what it takes to keep him if IU spends like a top basketball school?

I am hearing same thing as Chris and yeagley. Look for brad Stevens to sign Monday. He is looking to just get through all star break and is using this as a smokescreen. This is last time I will post until Monday. You will see

Kind of strange to me but whatever floats your boat, I guess.

Correct. Nothing has changed just because he is gone.

You and I have been on the same page when it comes to how we feel about MW!  He sucks!

He’s a fine coach. He isn’t leaving ucla for Indiana.  
 

Need to start looking at mid major coaches if it’s true we took a big swing on stevens and whiffed. You can’t poach high level guys with the pitch “you were our 3rd choice!”

@Uspshoosier what do Cronin’s worst years look like? One half in and I’m not totally turned off yet. I’m just sick of not being a consistently solid team :( 

His first couple seasons at Cincy were rough but other than that with Cronin you are going to make the tourney pretty much every year and your team is going to play really hard and good defense.   He is considered a top 20 coach in today’s game by some outlets.   He is a good coach he just rubs people the wrong way.   He has a Martinsville native that has been on his staff since his Cincy days.  TJ Wolf started out as a video coordinator back in the day and his on Cronins staff in some capacity

Sure buddy.  Just like the other "insiders" with all of their information.  Hopefully people don't believe these rumors from the "insiders."  They are awfully quiet after their news got debunked.  You won't hear from them all night.  Take what they say as fun "maybes."

Not again!   I’m not believing it until it actually happens.

Add another.   Better get on  now. Train is going to get full 

[iubb 3,318]

Lets hire this thing as coach. We will scare the opposition into forfeiting

I agree.  Since Stevens is out of the way, 1) May and 2) Beard.
I honestly think it will be May, I said that about 2 weeks ago before this BS smoke got me side tracked 

I will take him. I feel longer odds than stevens. I mean if we do get dusty what a horrible way to go about it. Waiting a year? If you are may huge gamble leaving

Agree with you on the first point, I don’t really think he is realistic, but I’d disagree with the second. No one is gonna fault us for going after Brad Stevens and Dusty if they don’t happen and we move on. It’s a huge job no matter what some of the national media types would like to make people believe.
