General Coach Candidate News

Hypothetically, If it’s between a 68 year old Pitino or a 68 year old Beilein, I’m voting Beilein every time

I've been off forums for a few years now...... Well bc IU hoops has been off for a few years now.  

I'm sure Michigan regrets their decision now, but when they wanted Harbaugh they basically took their A team and a dump truck full of money and wouldn't leave until they got their man.  IU needs to do this now with Stevens.  Just go get him for F#$%'s sake.  

Was comparing Archie going 0-9 against Purdue to Harbaugh w/ OSU this morning and am now seeing Harbaugh being compared to the lord and savior Stevens! What a world and hopefully Stevens turns out a little better than Harbaugh has.

I have it on good authority that one meeting has already occurred between Dolson and Penny Hardaway and another meeting to iron out the details of the deal is expected tomorrow. 

What are they meeting about?  I can’t imagine the deal they are making 

[Hoosier1984 1,571]

Celtics play tomorrow on National TV and I think a press conference follows so be interesting to see if he is asked about the IU opening.

We will know one way or another once woj tweets about it. I bet he tweets one way or another (ie yes it’s real or no he isn’t going)

Home run hires for me consist of 3 names. 

1) Brad Stevens

2) Jay Wright

3) Chris Beard

Apparently these are the Vegas odds on who will get the job. Lots of good names but a few duds.

I want the best X's and 0's guy. I'm not smart enough to know who that is, but that's who I want. I want IU's coach to out coach guys. That would be a breath of fresh air. 

[iubb 2,558]

I mean seriously. We all know woj is working the phones trying to get the scoop and beat shams to be the first one to tweet the scoop.

Stevens is the only name that gets me excited about Indiana Basketball.  I will not waste another minute on the Hoosiers again unless he is hired or we start winning again.  I have almost converted to being a Bellarmine Knights fan.  Scotty Davenport invites my son and his team to come watch games.  The Bellarmine players play hard nosed basketball, compete every possession and are fun to watch.

I don’t think there is anything to scoop

I kid, of course. 

It's just nice to be able to have fun thinking about the future of this team again. I've been miserable the last few years and it's refreshing to see a light at the end of the tunnel.

There is though. Either shooting the rumor down or adding fuel to the fire.

Being a Magic fan from back in the Penny Hardaway days,  this would make me smile.  Have no clue what kind of coach he is.

He was my favorite player as a kid.

He will be asked about it. And he will most likely deny any interest. Or he will say he's fully committed to the Celtics. 

And this will be how people react ... 


 

And while I think the chances of him leaving Boston for IU are extremely remote, whatever he says won't necessarily mean anything because ... What is he supposed to say?

And the fact that shams, or woj have not shot it down yet it a bit curious IMO. Seems like one of them would have shot the rumor down by now if it was a pipe dream by IU..

You think less than 12 hours from the initial announcement they are going to start shooting down Stevens rumors? These guys aren't IU beat reporters, although some of them are more interested in soccer these days.

Do they shoot down rumors like that normally? I know Woj breaks big news and all but do they spend time worrying about rumors.
