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

If you actually read the article, he listed all those guys and then listed "Mr Unexpected" so those names were in addition to whoever he is referring to here.

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

Well his WIki page makes it look like the guy has barely ever been east of the mountain time zone lol, but I agree Lloyd would be a home run. Few being the other that raises an eyebrow in the "not being talked about" group.

Man went to lunch and this board got real interesting lol.

Just want to say I personally work for a church in Savannah, GA and respected and appreciated a lot of the points you guys made in that conversation. Good group of guys and gals in here with different perspectives. Love that and some of the jokes had me laughing lol

Go Hoosiers!!

I'll say this about this thread.... we certainly turn every stone and get the takiest of takes. The national media might have been right all along about us being lunatics.

Born in Washington state... only jobs are Gonzaga (asst) and Arizona (HC) ... so yeah, west of the rockies... but not sure there's anything magical about it...

From his wikipedia page:

Coaching career
Gonzaga
According to a 2020 story by ESPN journalist Jeff Borzello, Lloyd's journey to his assistant coach position at Gonzaga actually began while he was playing in junior college. At the time, Gonzaga was still recruiting in Walla Walla's conference. After watching Lloyd, Gonzaga coach Dan Monson told him that he would not be offered a scholarship, but that if he ever wanted to go into coaching, he should give Monson a call. He made the call to Monson after his Whitman career, but had to back out once receiving an opportunity to play overseas. After his playing career, he and his wife Chanelle spent several months backpacking on several continents before he decided to begin a coaching career. By that time, Monson had left for Minnesota immediately after Gonzaga's 1999 Elite Eight run, and his top assistant Mark Few had replaced him as the Zags' head coach. Few honored the tacit agreement Monson had made with Lloyd, and Lloyd joined the men's basketball staff as a volunteer administrative assistant in 2000, becoming a full-time assistant the next year.

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

Some apps, like paint.net, let you adjust the quality when you go to save, lowering quality means smaller file. In that app, it shows you what size the resulting file will be.

"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.......

Mark Few but he once said the IU fan base was nuts

Jay Wright

The Arizona coach

Brad Stevens 

[realTomCrean 2,037]

Chris Beard’s X following/follower list is very interesting

Wouldn't that be wild if we had a Catholic priest on the BTB board? Wonder what he'd think of all this religion talk 

Nah. That'd never happen. We're all heathens. Oh, wait, nevermind...LOL
