If you think of hires as parallels of past ones, we’ve made the various Stevens comparisons: Cal to UK, Pitino to UL.

I think CrimsonCast made the best comparison I can think of for Otz: it’s roughly Self to Kansas. Established coach who’s done well at a good program moving to a blue blood.

That sounds true. Still think Self is underrated, with the work he did at Tulsa before Illinois.

I’d very much like another pop culture riddle please. His posts I’m enjoying more than envisioning a Turgeon coached team collapse in March.

I’d consider it legging out a triple. 

The only concern at all would be the offense.  Seems somewhat similar to Sampson in coaching style.  Is that accurate?

No, they say, "Purdue, Michigan, and Ohio State sucks, but so does Dunkin and Fenway Park!"

I see what you did there

That’s my impression after watching a handful of games. So I am nobody’s expert on Otz. I think he’d be successful. I think a guy like that could definitely pull something on the continuum Sampson to Jim Boheim and be here 20-30 yrs and maybe win one title with a handful of FFs.  If that’s even possible at IU.  
 

I do appreciate teams that play hard. Like 90th percentile of effort in D1.

Someone was saying a while ago you’d have to be in an alternate reality to believe Brad was coming here…(it was Jeffrey Bartholomew Rabjohns) 

 

or Brad is STILL undecided.

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

If we could actually be in a position where Brad is the ceiling and Otz is the floor for this search, then Dolson deserves a lifetime contract.

You know BuffaLouie's is chomping at the bit to add the "Otzel-Burger" to their menu

 

I just ate lunch at Buffalouies today. The Shroom and Swiss Burger was fantastic, but dont sleep on their Tater Tots.

Or should we say....... Otzel-Burger with OtzTotz ?

LOL. 

For the record I did not see Scott Dolson there with our mystery coach, but I did watch IUWBB kick Oregons Ducktails

He's waiting on the UNC job to open next cycle...

Good news everyone!

I have just invented a cloning machine, and have an amazing idea!
What if we clone  Brad and Otz into one super duper coach?

The actual ghost of Rick Majerus has a better chance of getting the job than Turgeon does
