There’s a good post from the athletic department guy on HSN that will probably get this thread humming today.

And you didn't share? For shame.

Ya know who probably has a pretty good idea of who our next coach is going to be?

Trent Sisley and Harun Zrno.

A lot of people loved the Miller hire and thought it was a homerun. I thought it was a double at best, I wasn't at all surprised we had to move on.

 

I would have to do some digging but I believe my "grade" of the hire was a double as well.  It was evident early on with Miller that it wasn't going to work.

Trying to get the process back in order after Woodson voluntarily chose to retire and totally caught the brain trust off guard.

I'm on board with this...

I've mixed feeling. I looked at his record last night. He's really only had 3 or 4 great years. Most years are 20 plus wins but also double digit loses. Maybe he could do better with more resources.

He also hasn't had a top-75 defense in three years. This is his best of the three; Indiana is currently 17 spots above Baylor on defensive efficiency according to Torvik. Think we can be honest about there being a legitimate defensive fall-off over the last three years, and still entertain the idea that IU would give the support to turn that around.

Could be “slippage.” Could just be variance. Not enough data points to know. He’s an offensive minded coach and when they have down years it’s often the defense that goes down.  
 

And if we’re being honest, we should also point out all those teams were top 3 seeds in the tourney. So even is it is “slippage” they only slid from 1 seeds to 3 seeds.

She's reworking the process and trying not to display any knee-jerk reactions.

I could atleast see a possibility if I tried, hence the double. Little did I know we'd follow it up with "wait, what, is this a joke"

His Athletic AD he works for thinks it will be Stevens, since it makes sense judging by Dolson’s quietness. And of course, the May Extension saying he probably wasn’t offer the job yet.

If we look at all the data points in Scott Drew's career, this stands out: he's only had three top-25 defenses his entire career at Baylor. Half of his teams since 2008, once they had been rebuilt, finished outside the top-75. Even his title team was one of the three least efficient defenses to win a title in the last 18 years; the other two teams were the generational UNC offense from 2008 and the Kemba Walker UConn run from 2011. 

Think Drew coming to IU is basically a Tom Crean redux without the baggage of the first three years, and the oddities. Think people would generally be happy about the offense, and think teams would generally end up with protected seeds in the tournament.

Do better? He's won 69% of his games for 18 years at Baylor and he's 20-11 in the NCAAT. 

Who has won more games the past 18 years? Kansas? Duke?

He's 20-11 in the NCAAT..... honestly, we deserve basketball purgatory for dismissing him, which you aren't necessarily, but.... idk. This is wild to me. 

Trying to respect everyone else's opinion, but.... holy smokes guys.
