Personally, none of those feel like they prove your point, but okay.

 

Genuine question, you think Brad is completely out (maybe he is, but I don't know that and neither do you) what candidates do you think are worth discussing or realistic options in your eyes?

Can I try that one? 

My current list of legitimate candidates:

• Drew
• Otz
• Collins
• Schertz
• McCasland
• Cronin
• Huss
• McCollum
• McDermott
• Brownell

I'm willing to state that I think it is likely we will have one of those ten guys as the next coach at IU. Based on what I have heard (including things not on the open board) and in no particular order, that's my list.

I like how you show up to argue with everyone about everything then act shocked everyone gangs up on you. Weren’t you the one saying nothing was getting announced on Woodson in the middle of the season and everyone who thought otherwise was dumb?

No.

It played out exactly like I said it would play out.

I'm not here for "inside" info. I'm here to discuss IU basketball, in this case, the next coach. Brad Stevens is not going to coach Indiana basketball regardless of what anybody hears.

Glad we cleared that up.

Well this just guarantees that he will because you are wrong way more than you’re right.

Brother...I've discussed ad nauseum who I think are realistic options and who I think we succeed/fail here.

Brah you're not even batting well enough to be AA when it comes to these things.

Sit this one out.

If you're exhausted with people asking who you would like as the coach or who you think will succeed/fail what do you truly want? The question led down the path to what you wanted to do...discuss your coaching ideas and options.

So what exactly are you looking to discuss?

He doesn't want to talk about Brad Stevens and also doesn't want to talk about anyone else. Otherwise he's all sunshine.

If we're not going to hire Will Wade, Mick Cronin is without a doubt my #1. You aren't going to get another candidate with the qualifications of Cronin to come take this job. I've been pushing Cronin...on this thread...for nearly a month.

If Otzelberger or Drew have a change of heart and want a change of scenery, I'd be thrilled. Will root for either to happen but not holding my breath.

But if you end up hiring Brownell, McCollum, etc....we'll be doing this in 4 years again.

You've literally lost your mind. I've pumped close to 200 posts, maybe more, in support of Cronin and I was suspended from posting for two weeks in February.

My stance on who I want as a coach has been clear since the end of January. And I've made it known. Multiple times.

Cronin is a high floor/low ceiling guy. He'd be fine. Better than we've had. But he won't make adjustments when things go wrong, his teams will be mediocre on offense, and he will wear on people.

I think the issue is it doesn’t feel like we’ve moved to oh crap it’s totally gonna be a mid major or low major swing yet. I don’t think (based on nothing but vibes) that we have moved on from the tier 1 P5 guys yet. I’m not convinced we’ve even really gotten to the tier 2 P5 guys yet (Brownell, Cronin types). 
 

That said, if we do get to the oh crap it’s totally gonna be a mid major guy, I don’t think 2 years at a low major will get a look (even if he maybe should). Had Creighton taken a step back without him, the assoc HC title might mean more to me personally, but GM doesn’t seem to have missed a beat without him. JMO. 

Why would Cronin and Brownell be in the same category? One guy goes to the tournament every year and the other one goes 33% of the time.

Ok? He makes the tournament and competes for conference titles nearly every year. If that's what the next 8-10 years look like, sign me up.

I know, and I understand the frustration, but not everyone is on here 24/7 and can't remember everyone takes on specific coaches. I remember now that you like Cronin but I had forgotten. When I saw you get all over someone for asking who you like it just seemed a little counterproductive to what you were asking for earlier...

Cronin is okay.

didnt take me 200 posts to give my opinion on him.  Took me one and I did it without telling everyone else what to post.

The funny thing is I didn't even name a name today. I just said I was hearing good things. Then the dude who was sending me DM's a couple of weeks ago telling me about Dusty May this and that tells me I don't know anything. Good Stuff!!

Nothing better then when the person calling you a troll then proceeds to give bad info :)

Let's say, hypothetically, that Brad Stevens is the coach. Will he succeed here? Elaborate!

6 years of elite head coaching experience at the mid-major level 12 years ago. Followed by 8 years of above average results as an NBA coach. Now a championship NBA executive. He's from Indiana.
