I'm certainly not vehemently opposed to Mccollum.  For those of you really pushing him, can you tell me why you see his success at Drake differently from Archie's success at Dayton.  I see similarities that are my only concern with going that route again.  

I would compare his backgroud to Bruce Pearl. I think it’s disingenuous to compare him to Archie.  

While in D2 he had established D1 P5 coaches call him for coaching suggestions and guidance. Every coach you talk to says nothing but praise about him.  The last time he didn't win a conference was 12 years ago.  He has/had multiple point guards play professionally in Europe. In D2 he is known for point guard production and having the best in the division every single year.  IUBB in 1976, 1981, and 1987 all had excellent point guards. The PG is basically the QB on the court and he's a PG coach. He has a process driven philosophy (Nick Sabanesque) and makes sure his players on his team are unselfish. He won't bother bringing in a player if there's any questions about the player's poise. There's a lot of information about him in the thread created just for him.  I've learned a ton there, and I'm completely sold on this guy. He's a unicorn. Wherever he ends up, he's going to win, a lot.  

 

So, basically, he wins, man.

Monday, March 17 makes a lot of sense from a PR perspective.

Announce it after the selection news cycle and before the games begin. That way you aren't stepping on egos during the regular season and aren't distracting the program as they attempt to make the tournament, but then ensure that every one of the NCAA tournament game broadcasts mentions the hire. 

Obviously the time is good for portal season, lining up NIL funds before the vetting committee is established, etc. 

I don't know that I believe an announcement will be made March 17, but the timing would be great.

This thread feels like the sequel to…”Lost”…or my senility has become very apparent.  lol

I LOVED that show…until I didn’t. Complete cop out by the writers in the end. My greatest fear is that George R.R. Martin follows the same route and cannot possibly tie up all of the loose ends of ASOFAI.
