Lets discuss Turgeon for a bit.....I see this as very realistic...He has said that he never gave up coaching, he was just burnt out. He is from the midwest....

 

Clarification....not in the Turgeon camp but I can see him as a possibility unless someone knows more than I do...

Exactly. And there are some on both sides who believe the intangibles/“fit” is there for both parties.

Yup. Dolson won't announce a hire till after the season. 

That's enough with the negative posts.  LOL

Are you his agent? Or are you Mark? Either way I understand. I'm just kidding welcome to the board

What’s Lon Kruger up to these days?

Dolson did us a disservice by firing Woodson too early. Now we have 3-6 weeks before we find out our head coach. Now what are we suppose to complain about the next several weeks!

If IU hires Turgeon I will commit seppuko at halfcourt of Assembly Hall

It is really slow when were bringing up Mark Turgeon. No way we can have a month of these types of discussions.

I can’t help but wonder what PJ Carlesimo would do in the NIL era at a place like IU… maybe worth a call…

It’s all psyops so when we hire Cronin, people will say, whew….least it wasn’t Turgeon.

I'm all for discussing candidates but can we at least stick with ones who have worked with NIL.

We had a coach who choked players, now let's get a coach who has been choked. Full circle

Do you have someone specific in mind to do the beheading or can Hoosier Connect use it for a fundraiser?

That’s a genius idea Demo. Hoosier Connect thanks you for your contribution.

And I am a psycho for merely suggesting we could do worse than Cronin. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you worse than Cronin.

If this was 4 years ago i would have wanted him over the coach they ended up hiring with 0 college basketball coaching experience before he was hired but this cycle no way.  Been out of coaching too long when IU will be in a position to get a sitting coach that has been coaching this whole time (minus the white whale) I would go with a mid major  coach over a coach that hasn’t coached in 4 + years

Which coach of Beard, Pearl, May, Cronin, Crean give IU the best shot to hang a banner in the next 5 years?
