Boring name. At least Fife has potential and would be cheaper. Plus he knows the B1G. 

First time we differ, I kind of like Enfield

I totally understand. The possibility of winning three B1G titles in four years is not at all an entertaining prospect. 

He’s already said no and his family wasn’t happy with the way his sisters tenure ended at IU so I think there’s even less a chance he comes than Stevens.

Simple question for you:  how many times has Enfield's team been a first round exit in the tourney?

Hint:  it's less than two.

I know that. That's why I wrote there wasn't a snowball's chance he's coming here ...

Mack got schooled by Tony Bennett today -- third ACC regular-season title in the past four years for U.Va. 

Damn, that's boring. 

(P.S. -- I know there ain't a snowball's chance of Bennett coming here, but I still don't get the hate on here for him. IMO, if he's not the best in the biz, he's top 5). 

id be over the moon, as would many others. I think some get ptsd from someone who has a similar philosophy as CAM. Bennett is head and shoulders better than most coaches, let alone Archie Miller.

Agree with you though, I want to win and I don’t care how the hell it looks to outsiders.

Hasnt UCLA been in our shoes before with hiring a coach at a historic program? It hasn’t been in their favor in years.

 

We need a case study on their hires and do the complete opposite of them. 

Well, they hired Steve Alford.  What's the opposite of Steve Alford?

Oh, he absolutely is as good as anybody.  I also think there is zero chance he'd come here.  So if I want a dream scenario where we can have anybody, I want a guy with huge success and a style I like to watch.

Not saying he’s the guy, though boring means nothing to me. Just saying he beat the guy ya gotta beat. If Miller had beaten Painter twice and lost 2 other games this year he’d be here next year.

And Fife is not for me a remotely serious candidate. But the fun of msg boards is we can all think what we think with no accountability of any kind.

Four years ago I was wary of Mack for the same reason as Archie: I thought some nice tournament performances were propping up some middling results otherwise. I think Mack’s work at UL has proven I was wrong there.

I continue to be surprised how many are dismissive of Fife’s candidacy. Whether you think he’d be good or not, he checks a lot of the boxes we would imagine those making the hiring decision will look at. Where do y’all think head coaches come from? Except the very rare, they were all assistants

[HoosierTrav]

Does Indiana even make the call to Stevens?

Coaches at power schools were obviously almost all assistants at one point.  But more often than not, their first gig wasn't at a blue blood school.

Depends on how long the string is on our tin can phones.  Gotta save every penny.

I don’t think they did 4 years ago because he had just signed the extension.

[Stuhoo]

For me absent a Stevens no way miracle?

1. Enfield. 1A Mack
2. Gates

      3. Drew cause something about him and his brother bug the crap out of me.

      4. Fife
