Chances were here again in 3-4 years? I’ve got 50/50.

I'll be the heretic on this one and say that IF we hire Brad Stevens - and I'm highly skeptical - we will be doing this again in no more than 5 years.  IMO he's a man who needs a challenge and will get bored being back on the sidelines as a college coach.  In some respects, I view him as a turnaround specialist.  He's the guy that goes in and cleans up the last guys mess and then moves on and in Brad's case likely back to the NBA.

He was butler’s head coach for 6 years and has now been with Boston for 13.  Not sure how that is a guy that leaves quickly.

That would imply that he turned IU around. I could live with that.

I'd guess a 20% chance we have a coach search in 3-4 years.

1) Most of the factors that caused us to make bad hires over the last 25 years are not present this time around.  It's been pretty well sourced this is Scott's show and Trustees/Donors/Presidents that don't know what they are doing are not meddling this time around. 

2) Scott proved he can make a good hire 15 months ago.  I'm not sure what else can be more reassuring right now, he literally just successfully did what we need him to do right now.

3) We have never held a coach search when IUBB can offer top-5 player payroll resources.  Also, many athletic depts outside the B1G and SEC are struggling as the revenue share cost hits this year.  The IU job is more appealing than it has been historically.  Coaches can afford a materially better roster at IU than they can at many other schools.  This should help.
