Some interesting info from Rabjohns. He said that he doesn't think any school paid more than $2M buyout to hire a coach in the last 5 cycles.

I hope IU doesn't go cheap and rule out a really good coach that they have a chance of hiring because the buyout is, say, $4M instead of $2M or less.

Interesting.  Kentucky tried with Drew and Hurley, but they said no.  I suspect paying larger buyouts is just naturally rare because only 10 to 20 schools would pay a big buyout, and those schools usually aren’t hiring coaches, and when they are hiring they may be internal hires (Duke) or just get No’s (UK).

Personally I don’t worry that we will go cheap.  I worry more about getting a “Yes.”  Just my $0.02.

nopeeeee. stay consistent.... Beards out, Fews out, Drew is out too... 

 

F*** I just backed myself into Cronin's corner. 

Has Few ever laid hands on a woman before? Generally asking as I haven't heard that. If he has, yes absolute non-starter.

It amazes me game after game that teams allowed Malik to beat them inside.  He does the same things constantly.  Teams seem content on letting him get his at the rim.  

I don’t think teams let him he’s just really good at it lol

I was sitting in row 2 behind the bench and my wife literally thought Tucker was going to attack someone. He had that look in his eye

I think Tucker is a good kid but he’s surrounded by some less than helpful noise. Unfortunately that noise may be never too far away.

Do have to give Reneau some credit — he plays through contact and finishes well for a mostly below rim big.

If you let him do his thing he is good at it.  But no one ever seems to make adjustments and it is really good coaches.  Izzo and painter both just let him score.  Never changed anything.  And it isn't like Indiana can just kill you from the 3 pt line.  THen I would understand it more.

Has he ever been engaged to a crazy woman? That's the question

I'm not here to measure sin. If Beard is a no-go because he is untrustworthy, the same should be applied to Few (I thought he had multiple DUIs?)... as far as I know, Few has not had an altercation with a woman that resulted in charges being dropped.

I do not think Brad Stevens is going to be the new head coach but I don't know how that all is going to play out. Certainly not with any level of confidence. I would be VERY surprised if Bryson Tucker or Mackenzie Mgbako are on IU's roster next season. 

Tucker's dad is allegedly shopping him around for more PT... but not sure if his beef is with Woodson or with IU... And agree, I don't see Mgbako back next year.

[Hornsby 3,117]

So ir seems after doing the morality test the only options left are..

Bronwell
Cronin??
Michael Lewis
Ben mccollum
Josh Schertz


Pretty crappy list imo but given we can't touch anyone with a skeleton that's what's left. May is gone. Thanks quinn.

I'm pretty convinced at this point it won't be a big name.

I have no idea why, but I like Malik.

I’d guess he feels his path to the NBA got seriously derailed this year and he and his family are worried.  He’s so gone.

It’s too bad.  He seemed like a nice kid and I liked his academic strengths.  He appears to have been chewed up by Woody’s bad program from what I can tell.

Then at the very worst he would be considered for the job although no chance he takes it.

Has a single person other than you suggested Michael Lewis?

this post will be met with skepticism, which is understandable. but it won't be Stevens. 100% confident on that. Dolson's current list is 3, he doesn't have his "man", but any of those 3 would be really strong hires. has plans D and E as well, names we've all heard but hope it doesn't get to them. Nothing announced until late march at the earliest. deep talks with 1 candidate in particular, a name i think would be just about universally liked, but nothing signed and won't be until his team is done

Be very careful — you’re not allowed to have Stevens insight that doesn’t align with the hopes and dreams and delusions of this board.

We don’t want Beard and we’re going to end up with Brad Brownell…

Yikes

From what I have heard he hasn't done himself any favors by showing up late to workouts, if at all, and different things like that.
