Very rarely though you win with freshmen. Look at Rutgers. So he might get it turned around but it's going to take some time

He’s going to have to go the Scheyer route and bring in some senior leadership through the portal. South Bend is going to be a tough sell tho.

To be clear... you want McDermott over Pearl? I'm not insinuating anything, I'm asking. 

Both of those guys are next level outstanding coaches. But I’m not a fan of 60 year old plus guys.

Pearl is a slightly better option for the here and now. But At least McDermott would potentially be with us for eight or nine years. Pearl is a four year and then go through this all over again hire. I truly believe that there are many, many options that would also be outstanding, but would not necessitate a redo in the near future.

I still like Micahs style of play, won't convince me otherwise. 

Wouldnt be bad to have this coming in... 

Whoever our new coach is should look into these kids… notably the top one…

I agree. I will say, the country will get "younger" moving forward, and thats all sports... Galloways and Leals will be gone from their Covid years 

That PSU team he had in year 2 is just how I envision basketball should be played.

Big East is a mid-major conference unless you expect Butler, Providence, etc., to compete in the 23 million dollar salary cap next year. 

 

In college basketball, the term "mid-major" is used to refer to teams that are members of a conference other than the "power conferences" of the Big Ten, Big 12, Big East, SEC, and ACC.[4] The Big East Conference does not sponsor football and thus is not considered a power conference in that sport[a], but is universally considered so in basketball, with the term "Power" sometimes used by media to describe the combination of the power football conferences and Big East.[4]The NCAA has officially recognized this distinction in the selection process for the National Invitation Tournament, as these conferences each receive automatic bids for their two highest-ranked teams not invited to the NCAA Tournament, as ranked by the NCAA Evaluation Tool (NET).[5]

Tomato Tomato. The general assumption is P4 (B12, ACC, B1G,SEC) vs Mid-Major. Big East is upper tier mid-major if you will. The fact is most of the schools in the Big East will not be able to compete with the 23 million dollar salary cap next year.

...I'm sitting in my classroom with zero students today, by choice. I just needed to get out of the house. lol

We got a virtual learning day because of the snow. Students have a shortened class schedule, including a required google meet with teachers. lol 

I chose to come to school so I can be at my desk, do my google meets and follow this board today in quiet. Let's keep the good news flowing today!

Go IU!

As a fellow teacher...I am completely down with that choice... great day to you sir!

Power 4 is football.  Power 5 is basketball.  Big East will always be considered a power conference in basketball.   UConn just won back to back national titles and has one of the highest nil for basketball.  It would be ridiculous to call them a mid major.  I get it though schools like  Butler and Seton Hall will have a tough time to compete however in Butlers case they wanted to move.  They should have stayed in the A-10 when they moved into that conference instead of jumping up again.   It’s why Butler has struggled because they are a mid major in a high major conference

For this year? Sure.

But for Indiana? He’d be 65 years old his first day on the job and we’d have maybe one recruiting cycle before he would leave.

I agree with this. However, with our resources and PearI’s fire I do think we would be competing for Final Fours right out of the gate.

Apparently an unnamed husband of a realtor said on a random social media post that Tracy Stevens was looking at horse farms off 37 this weekend. Hope this helps.

Beard vs Golden

I found the recent polling done to be very interesting.  The results showed that 66% of the voters would want Todd Golden as their next coach at IU and only 44% would want Beard.  Golden was accused of a University Title IX violation for sexually stalking, harassing, and sending unwanted di@k pics to women on social media.  The university investigated and said that he did not violate Title IX.  Because of privacy reasons around Title IX that is all the University of Florida said.  It did not say these things did not happen, just that he did not violate Title IX.  The University of Florida took several months to investigate and eventually backed Golden. 

Beard was accused and arrested for hitting and biting his girlfriend during an argument.  Beard said he was defending himself, and his girlfriend at the time claims that was true and she did not think Beard was trying to harm her.  Charges were not filed against Beard.  The University of Texas was reactionary and suspended and fired Beard rather quickly.  

I don't think IU would or should hire either one.  There are enough good coaches without hiring someone with this type of baggage.  I'm just interested why Golden is not being held to the same standards as Beard.  Were voters not familiar with the complaints?

I'm either warming up to Buzz or getting buzzed has me warm.  

Either way, wouldn't hate the hire.
