What other job could Indiana be "competing with?"

Indiana will be open.

Florida State will be open.

Miami will be open.

Virginia will be open.

I don't see any other Big Ten jobs opening unless someone like Hoiberg or Collins were poached.

Villanova? Syracuse?

If UNC pulls the trigger, damn near half the ACC is going to be open.

Would love pitino. He wins.

I'll share a spot of common ground with you here. And I don't think you worry as much about age with him because I think he coaches until he can't. Theoretically he's a guy that you can hire with an estimated expiration date but is guaranteed to leave the program top tier and attractive to the next crop of premier Coaches for hire.

Additional thought: I'm not worried about his indiscretions at U6. Now that he can just throw cash at players he can leave the hookers out of it.

I don't see Oklahoma or Minnesota moving on. Oklahoma is still a tourney team and their coach is in year 2. Minnesota is pretty welhere they'll always be in basketball. And right now Minnesota is actually 13th, a spot behind Indiana.

Oddly written story. "Indiana Hoosiers linked to Rick Pitino as head coaching candidate ...Trevor Andershock of 247 Sports has suggested that the Hoosiers could take a look at Rick Pitino....While he does make it clear that he doesn't see a likely fit between the two sides, Pitino would be a very interesting option....Andershock shared some of the reasoning why the two sides won't come together...Pitino is looking at other options, and Indiana has many concerns about his past," he wrote....All of that being said, the idea that Pitino would be a great fit with Indiana is likely never going to turn into a reality. But, it's a fun idea to think about." 

So they are linked, but not really and actually they don't want him at all and he's looking at other options? Great insight.

Porter was hired same year as Woody.

Fran could get a nudge to retire at Iowa.  I'd imagine Iowa would have McCollum and Otz fight in a cage match to determine who would take over.

Clickbait headlines are so annoying.

Most of Peegs' connections these days are in the agent world. That explains it. I wouldn't put too much thought into this possibility.

He was SEC coach of year last season. They’ve lost a lot of close games. He gets another year

I think Neptune is stone dead  at Nova. Imagine Autry and Hubert get another year. Terry’s an interesting deal. He’s got the Mike Davis thing going on where he never gets that job under normal circumstances and it’s clearly deteriorating. But surely he gets 1 more year.

Have you noticed the people calling out IsaacTor now for being a troll and asking for him to be banned. The people that realized he was a troll and called him out a week ago got crucified for it. **** cracks me up! 

Isn't this calling troll calling the troll troll.

Why would Otz be interested in Iowa??  Don’t recall any connection there and he has a better job at Iowa St.

maybe Devries and McCollum.

Quite a misleading headline.  Should have read 'one writer makes an off the wall suggestion meant for clicks but there hasn't been any reason to believe it's real'.

Otz is a long time assistant at Iowa State before being the coach and I believe met his wife when she was a student there.
