I would rather have Cronin. Lol

 

 although Gard has done better than I expected and is a pretty solid coach. 

I haven't given any thought to him.  However, I must have dreamed about him after watching Wisconsin beat Purdue.

Someone pulled the fire alarm at my college dorm at 2AM the morning I had my first final...

 

I was pissed 

What year? I pulled one circa 2002-03.

The guy looks like he could run a nice used Pontiac dealership in Sheboygan

I am really warming up to Cronin.  After looking at his record at Murry, Cincinnati and now UCLA he has proven he can win.  Assuming Brad ****** Stevens is off the table, I could get on board with this pick.  Pearl was high on my list but as I have read and listen, I don't think he is a long-term answer.  I don't want to be back in the coach search in 5 more years.  May is interesting, he does have the connection to IU, but can he win long term.  He is young in his career so to speak, and he only has a two really good season not counting this year at Michigan.   Nate Oats is another one that may fit the same level of winning as Cronin.

Who knows, I just hope we get a proven coach with a proven foundation for winning games.  

May took FAU to a final 4!  F ******* AU! That’s medal worthy

Now that Isaac made this March 2nd, 3pm announcement for Brad Stevens to IU, surely  there isn’t anyone else left on here that believes this nonsense?

Mike Davis took IU to the final Game and well.....

Not saying May is not a great coach, just can he do it year over year.  His sampling is small, but he is showing signs of a guy that can do it.  If we end up with him, I will support it and hope he can sustain the same culture at IU.

I had a dream we hired Greg Gard.  In my dream, Gard was so happy he cried.  He said I can finally get some great players that won't leave me...lol  

Very weird dream.

Funny, I had a dream we hired Cronin and I was his agent. We were standing on the tarmac waiting for Dolson to fly in with the contract to sign. Suddenly I heard a sound in the distance and then Cronin pointed at the sky and said, “da plane, da plane!”…..and then I woke up!

Just wanna say I think it’s unlikely Turgeon is a legit candidate, but also wanna point out that it’s hilarious everyone is quick to jump on someone and dismiss what they’re saying when it’s something they don’t want to believe, even though Turgeon rumor is way less outlandish than believing someone is gonna leave the Boston Celtics for a college job.

Is he in every dream? LOL

I just put $500 down on Stevens as our next coach because of that intel, should I not have done that?

Why do people keep using 4-5yrs with Pearl?   Pitino kicking butt at 72 going on 73.  Belicheck just hired in football at 73.  Absent a health issue , Pearl could easily be a 7-10yr solution and put IU on very solid ground.

Actually, the prospect of us hiring Turgeon is WAY MORE outlandish than us hiring Stevens. 

Either is unlikely, but while the chance of us hiring Stevens may be low, the chance of us hiring Turgeon is 0.000%

He most likely isn't right on this, but with that level of confidence, would you play poker with the guy? I sure wouldn't...

Do you think Brad’s current contract with the Celtics is 10yr/$100M?

Long term lurker here (look at my join date), What I'm wondering is Chris 007 is wrong more than he is right, then when he is called out he throughs a fit and threatens to quit posting and people kiss his a## till he comes back, then he posts stuff that is more wrong than right, but he is an "insider" that doesn't  know SH_T

 

I kind of think you should have waited a little longer.

That’s terrible news.

I have a 2:30 dental cleaning appointment that day.

Can we move this to 3:15 so that I can watch it live?

Please confirm- thanks.

How long can it take to clean 1 tooth?

Heck yea he could coach that long!  And after he tires of that he can run for President of the USA.  Only commenting on the age thing, not a political post!

You do realize that the time and date that you listed make absolutely zero sense right, but I do like the confidence. 

Time and date? What about the planned press conference scheduled with FoxSports? Speaking from over 20 years of experience on the later, there is zero chance that is set like that. Zero.

not saying it couldn’t happen, but that it would not be set this far in advance and if it was the network would have to know the context/why and validate it being important enough to break in or override a scheduled program. If they did, it would leak in about 1 second. 

if there is any shred of legitimacy to it I will text/dig into it a bit but too embarrassed to even ask anyone at this point

Very possible.  I have no issue, and he was high on my list for sure but after looking at some others I just like the longer-term possibility for the future.  

 

If IU hired Pearl, I would not be upset at all.  I would actually be very happy with that pick.
