We have less than a month to get this thread to 2k pages. To spark conversation, we need RTZ, Isaac, Chris, AP to speculate some based on known information. Remember, it's not about how many times you've been wrong, but only about the one time you're right. It's how legends are made. Gentlemen, the task is simple: speak Brad into existence, fall back on Dusty, and if all else fails we will settle for #BringTomHome to see some exciting Hurryin' Hoosier basketball

I'm not going to speak for the others but I will :-) but I don't think you will see them on here sharing info unless it's Isaac. When we do and then Goodman releases a flimsy statement we get called names, bashed, and everything else. I know AP has been hearing it on the discord, I heard it here every day since last Friday, and RTZ just seems like Jerry staying away till the season gets closer to being over. It's easier to just discuss amongst ourselves. 

I will continue on the coaching candidate posts because I enjoy it but that's about it. If we don't get our top 2 I like McDermott, OTZ, and McCollum. That's about it for me. I could get used to Drew but the church stuff loses me quickly. Cronin is OK, I think he would win but just not my cup of tea.

Must be all about defense becasue their offense is worse than woodsons

I agree!  Chris knows I’m going to win!

DM will be our next head coach!

OH MY!

I didn’t say that Dusty May would be the next coach; just that he’s the perfect match.

Very different.

If ever there was an absolutely perfect match for Indiana University basketball…

It is Dusty May.

I expect a Tweet from Goodman, Davis, etc any day now confirming that Dusty has signed a new deal with UM with a $15-20M buyout.  It’s coming.

Goodman's Tweet will be @The Field of 68 has learned Dusty May not a candidate.

  Dusty May quoted as saying " I like Ann Arbor's  Hola Seoul for the korean fried chicken."

More likely the tweet just says “May not a Candidate for the IU Job” since Dusty said that he is happy at Michigan!

Didn't someone write a nice "A Case for Dusty May" post? With a bunch of bullet points?

I need to find that.... to show my dad why this is a good idea :)

I did! 

The case is even stronger now that he’s leading a good B1G team that was very bad last year. Maybe some of us around here know ball :)

Careful, we’ve already established a round only counts if it’s the one you lose in lol. 

I thought a round only counted if you were the one buying

Maybe his actual coaching is exposed now that he's been forced to play on a level playing field when it comes to "acquiring" talent.

I think there's a pretty good chance this is playing a big role.

I'll definitely be curious to see if KU bounces back next year.

So now they had to have ncaa wins and coached in p4 conferences. See you didnt say that. 

Kelsey had 250+ wins 

Pope had 180+ wins 

Exactly, Knight was at Army

May was at FIU

McCollum has won everywhere he's been.

My Hometown has won the girls small school state title back to back with a coach named Hinton. They were absolutely horrible before with the previous coach.

You old guys probably recognize that name from years ago but it's his daughter who's the coach. She could win in any class.

I guess the point I'm trying to make is good coaching isn't just happening in power conferences and being gun shy because of the Miller debacle shouldn't stop us from looking at up and comers.I would be thrilled with McCollum. The dude wins.

Google him.

I challenge Someone make the case for May using only words that rhyme with May

Based on that logic, Coach Hinton would be just as appropriate choice for Indiana as McCollum would be. Because Coach Hinton wins. Therefore she can win in any class. Google her.

Just saying. There is a hell of a massive difference between winning and running a successful program in D2 versus at a top ten budget program.
