How can people find out next week? It would have to be one of two things….an NBA person or a person who is in the NIT or worse. 

so, we're getting either an NBA guy or a loser? :D

Do you consider Otz a big name?

I don’t think he is a finalist.

Based on that logic.  Power conferences start their tourneys next week and selection Sunday is the following Sunday.  It has to be someone not going to a tourney, an assistant coach or an NBA person with that logic.

Next week only works if it’s someone not coaching college hoops or not making the tourney lol

Why is that? Some conference tournaments start tomorrow.

Which would mean they aren’t making the tourney if something is announced next week.

Yeah, but the NCAA Tournament still doesn't start until the following week.  So his statement still stands.

Do you believe we’re getting a mid-major or lower coach who’s in danger of missing the tournament?

Otherwise next week implies 1. IU doesn’t make it— won’t know for 11 days, 2. Next guy either misses the tournament (Few(?), Collins, Drew(?), McCollum) OR isn’t a college coach.

I think the wind is blowing a different way on both fronts

I don’t know. It’s a different world now with a tight timeline to hire a staff and hit the portal. I guess think of it like college football bowl season and announcements.

It won’t be Drew.

Few will make it.  Drew will make it. McCollum should make it no matter what.

So you think a coach won’t coach the tourney?  That would be a first.

He got fired 2 years ago, and was hired at Ole Miss two months after that. I haven't seen anything in the news the last 2 years about him getting in trouble, or being found drunk at a bar. I see lots of posts that call him an alcoholic but I'm confused how people have such inside information about his medical condition.

I think it was ap on here that said there's things with Beard that haven't become public.

If IU wouldn't touch him before the arrest I'd be completely floored if they did now.

[spe317 823]

Hiring a non-big name and before the tournament starts would be disastrous imo. Means not even working on successful coach already in the tournament. Not a program ender but does NOT bode well for the future. Dunno.

I have no idea. I was surprised to hear that we could know something next week also. I mean, Miami just hired someone from Duke’s staff though.

An assistant coach.  That’s completely different than a head coach.

Also, I think if people are hoping for a big name, they may be disappointed. 

Party pooper.

Mark Byington? Bennett?

If Dolson isn’t swinging for Home Runs he’s just trolling the fanbase at this point. Hire Beard and let’s be done with it.
