I got the same takeaway from this article. He is hearing from insiders that they think our coach will be someone not on these lists? If there was any realistic name he was hearing he would print it. The truth is, anyone outside the very comprehensive list he has in his article would be completely out of left field. There are no “veterans wanting a challenge” that IU would want that are not already on that list.

I think Bozich and probably some others are hearing some variation of “Scott’s got his guy, and I’m not telling you who it is”. 

Is he implying that he (Bozich) knows? Doubtful... but never say never (except Beard).

"Mr. Unexpected: At least two basketball insiders told me this is where IU will find its coach. A guy that nobody is discussing. A veteran coach who is looking for a challenge. A guy eager to embrace the job of succeeding where Mike Woodson and Archie Miller failed."

Here are the names in the article:
Scott Drew
TJ Otzelberger
Mick Cronin
Brad Brownell
Ben McCollum
Greg McDermott
Chris Beard (unlikely)
Buzz Williams
Chris Collins
Will Wade (did say this wouldn't happen)
Tony Bennett (unlikely)

So who is everyone's "Mr. Unexpected"?  And if someone says Turgeon.......

Find a picture u like then shrink it (resize in paint) to like 100 pixels by 100 pixels - or smaller if necessary) then upload - should be around 100k

I’ve been resizing with apps and it just says file size over 50 every time

This MF said a guy nobody is discussing then named all the guys being discussed. Seems legit.

Let's get off this religious debate, it's too divisive. Let's get back to something we can all agree on....Chris Beard........

Thoughts on him?

Does he have any experience in college Bball?

He had a word quota he needed to meet for his articles and dammit if he was not going to get it! :)

The only reasonable takeaway is that we are hiring Brad Stevens or Big Turge

Mark Few?

Dear Satan, please let IU hire Jay Bilas so he can bring us back to CBB relevance. He spent three years on the bench with Coach K and has watched more high quality college hoops than just about anyone the past two decades… worth considering if Dick Vitale turns us down.

Dicky V....   He is top target now.

Lloyd, and I’d love it. Would think it’s highly unlikely but Arizona’s financial situation makes me wonder… not sure if he has regional ties

Weird - just changed mine to DJ - no issues. Are you sure you resized the canvas? Otherwise it may retain white space that takes size.

Back-to-topic: I'll submit to any baptism if we start winning games.

Few would be my guess as well. I do remember JYs post a while back where he capitalized Few when referring to Dolson and his guy. Still don't see it happening but that's my guess.

we need a guy with a very particular set of skills. Skills that he has acquired over a very long career. Skills that make him a nightmare for people in college basketball.
