Yeah. That is the problem with only look at the “record.”  Results matter, butt the real question is what foundation produced those results?  Was it just luck?  Crean’s foundation was crumbling.   Woodson never bothered to build a foundation.  You look at candidates who have success at multiple locations because they can build that foundation — May, Cronin, Pitino.  Archie only had success at one location.  

This is spot on.  Foundation of what you do has to be successful.  See Cignetti as he was at different schools.  His process and foundation worked at every stop.  This is what IU basketball needs.

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.

I must've missed it. What was the reason he gave for it not happening yesterday? Stevens' pen ran out of ink or something?

Wants to wait until the March 1st Waiver deadline

I would rather have Cronin. Lol

 

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

Also, Bryan Cranston as Dr. Tim Whalley was the best tv dentist ever.

He was pretty cool for a re-gifter

Coached at IU 200-2005 so yes 20 years ago. 

She coached for 1805 years? That has to be a record, right? /s

Ha yes, I remember that.

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.

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

 

I was pissed

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

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

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?
