How is a guy connected to St Johns in the know on Indiana hire?

St. John’s = New York, New York = pizza, cheese pizza = btown banners, brown banners = indiana hire.

Would love it but no way.

Okay, so "Situs" mean Brad's in Bloomington, and this clip means they're discussing the contract right now.

 

Just having fun with it.

Ahhhhh... No.

You're entitled to your opinion, but while I'd be thrilled by Stevens, if we got Otz I'd be even "thrilled-er."

 

Really? Yeah, both would be great. Think Stevens would be one of the four great CBB coaching hires of the last 25 years.

All of these smokescreens so Dolson can get his guy, Lon Kruger. We missed out before!

But Norman told me it wasn’t a big name and his source is directly involved. 

I saw the list he was talking about. If it's one of those guys Dolson better enter witness protection

This is when he hires Charlie in the first season.

Can someone more wise in the ways of basketball please outline the positives of Otz? Not being familiar with him and just looking at his career record, honestly, I am not blown away. Yes, he is young and energetic but I am missing something else, potentially?

• Great accomplishments at a non-marquee school.
• Incredible culture and player retention.
• Defense.
• Toughness.
• Super-clean personal story.
• Young.
• Power 5 success.
• NCAA tournament success.

But is he the guy? Who the heck knows.

This is what happens when you all pressure me to post non anti-Stevens stuff. Lol!

[BehindTheBench 681]

This place is freaking awesome. In my opinion (which, who cares, right??) it's the best fan site in all of college sports. So many personalities, knowledgeable people, and IU fanatics. Was super hesitant to post and engage, but so happy I did. Brighter days are just around the corner and it's gonna be so fun seeing IU rolling again. Cheers fellas!

[Hoosierfan2017 23,528]

I just want my gut feeling when I hear the hire to be a good one. I don’t want a coach you have to talk yourself into.

Even if you are a Celtic fan, you are alright in my book!

Someone close to Scott said it's Brad

Some agent is calling other agents about the portal on behalf of TJ because he signed a 10 million contract for IU

One guy that's connected to St Johns is saying Otz to IU is done

Has it been discussed  what would happen if Cronin sues either of them for the job?

He gave a list and didn’t share with the class? I thought it was an only who’s NOT on the list.

As someone who is now too old and fat to dress like that, I begrudgingly give him a nod of respect and approval.

I do think these are probably my two ideal outcomes and I can definitely imagine a situation in which Otz is as good or better (or stays longer!) than BS.

[psst: add Drew and my best guess is it’s one of the three (*ducks for cover*)]

This is when he hires Charlie as his assistant. I am guessing that they are talking to assistant coaches for the job.

Crimson Cast has a nice profile starting at the 28 minute mark.
