Dan Hurley?

Make the call! But he turned down the Lakers and UK last offseason so he likely will not be very interested.

I thought he handled a situation where a player was shot or shot somebody? Foggy memory

No, that was a former Baylor coach — Dave Bliss

I’d recommend today’s episode of Mind Your Banners if you’d like an optimistic look at why the job is attractive, and todays episode of CrimsonCast for Evan’s of Cronin, Drew, Brownell, and McCollum.

I can’t bring myself to imagine the reaction to a Brad Brownell hiring

I felt very good when they basically stated it would be a non-sensical hire based on resume unless they got turned down by everybody else they were after. 

Galen was also VERY down on McCollum, which I get the reasoning for.  I'd still be way higher on McCollum than I would be Brownell.

Pretty sure it was a murder, and Drew took over after the murder when the program was in shambles. 

It was.  Coach was Dave Bliss and he attempted to frame the victim after his death to make it look like the murdered player was a drug dealer.  try to avoid the press looking at Bliss’ actions of paying players.

The ones this year were an eye sore. Better than last year's but those were ugly as sin so it could get much worse.

Let’s hope not!

Not saying it did, but, if you don’t think Woodson would have had a great case for discrimination with what was laid out…..agree to disagree

Sorry not a snowballs chance in hell.  Doesn’t work that way.

Scott Drew is not going to like that. I’m kidding.

I could be wrong, but I thought someone said last year that Buckner didn't think there was anything special about Dusty as a coach (or something like that). 

Buckner strikes again!

It kind of looks like he’s lost his fastball this season.

Thanks.  Interesting ZO/MN report IU is going to allocate our rev share to bball to be 2x the conference average.  This is the first I've heard this.

Some schools may do something similar, but it sounds like we are getting aggressive with rev share to bball and we will be top or close to top of the conference.  That rev share commitment plus our already top-5 NIL is a lot of player payroll available, not exactly surprising for IUBB.  Coach candidates should find that enticing.

That said, I hope we give Cig plenty of the rev share too...

So I've seen people turning their nose up at Drew becasue he's too much of a man of faith. Good call. Lets do a little research on Drew and Baylor shall we:

In 20 seasons at Baylor:

-Has 171 more wins than next winningest coach Henderson who coached in '41-'43 and '45-'61 (18 seasons)

-Before Drew arrived Baylor had made the tournament exactly 4 times. 3 of those with the aforementioned coach Henderson (46, 48 and 50)

-Since Drew arrived they have made it 12 times. 3 times more than the history of the program

-He's made it to:

Rd32 9x

S16 5x

E8 3x

FF 1x

Title 1x

-This was all done after taking over a program left for dead, no pun intended, and already having no history or athletic support. Remember the team had just had a player murder another player before Drew took over.

But he likes Jesus too much so we can't be having that. Good grief people.

 

He was great for Baylor, (might be waning a bit) it’s where he should stay…just like BK, should’ve retired at IU.
