Haven't heard anyone mention John Scheyer, so I'll throw that name out there as a contrarian option. He's been the primary recruiter at Duke since Capel left. Lead contact for guys like Tatum, Jones brothers, and Ingram. Coach K understudy. Young and energetic. X's and O's guy who knows how to run an offense. 

I've mentioned it before. It wasn't well received.

Might as well get Fife. Studied under Izzo. Has HC experience. IU guy.

I know. I don't want Fife. Not even a little. I don't see the argument for him. But if we're looking at understudies, I'd take Fife over a Dookie with no B1G experience.

As much as I would love Stevens, I don't see IU waiting until June.
If the hire is announced this week, it is Beilein or Matta. If announced after that, it is a coach currently in the NCAA or NIT.
My list is in other thread.

He won’t win until he is 72.  We don’t have any shooters for his offense. 

We do have shooters in Leal, Franklin, Stewart, and Lander. I think part of the problem was the coaching staff and having players play tight. Beilein has a history of player development and offensive fluidity. Plus he has scholarships to use to get a player he needs.

I think if Stevens wanted to come, and that's a huge IF, IU happily waits until whenever he's ready.

EDIT: ...and drives everyone on this board absolutely bonkers!

with that kind of money thrown out there... and so quickly... it has to be. YES!

My thoughts exactly bud. Donors aren't gonna flip the bill for a sideways move or another "take a chance hire."

He must be taking notes on here or he's one of the guys who sends me PM's

Do you know which poster that was? I can't get HSN to load

Unless the honeymoon deteriorated rapidly over the last 7 months, I don't see how it could possibly already be over. Maybe if they have an early exit in the playoffs?

Or we are going to pay him more money to be closer to family, coach half the games, and have a place to coach for the next 30 years. Nobody will argue that the Boston Celtics organization is more prestigious than the Indiana Basketball program. But there are a lot of factors outside of that. Stevens grew up idolizing Bobby Knight and dreamed of coaching IU. It may not happen but there are a lot of reasons for him to come here that may not meet the eye, at first. 
 

don’t be surprised if he doesn’t accept our offer.... bc it’s coming.

[kottke 919]

If the tournament comes and goes and we've yet to have a new coach named, wouldn't it be pretty safe to say there's a great chance it's Stevens? Who else would there be to wait on?

I'll gladly sit back and snack on pork rinds and beer until the NBA season is over. No rush here!

And?

I'd rather take Crean back than take a chance on Fife. Would you be cool with Isaiah getting the job too?

I really don't get the Fife love.
