Mike Woodson would be a strike out let's be serious.

Eddie Gaedel NEVER struck out.

Hot take: Mike Woodson is a tall basketball Eddie Gaedel.

Money I get, but IU's history didn't win a NC 23mos ago.

I'll be happy with Bennet, IU will win a lot more games, I just find it hard to believe he's looking to move on. Same with Drew. Guess we'll see. 

Probably a better chance Stevens leaving Boston then Bennett leaving Virginia

Mike Woodson would be the combination of striking out looking and a fastball to the crotch.

I just want 40 three point attempts a game and to have every player yell "Kobe!" every time they heave one up. Just hire whatever coach that can put this into motion!

More like one of those at bats were you swung and the ball still hit you

Here is what we did scoring wise under Knight along with how the season ended. Now I might be crazy with high standards, but we only missed the tourney once under Knight when we averaged 75+ and won two titles. Now the early 70's were obviously a bit different. I believe we won a share of the Big Ten in 73-74.

My lord, that triple overtime win (can't remember the year)-- that was fantastic! My friend (God rest his soul) gave up and went to bed. Couldn't wait to tell him the next day of our win.. good times

I believe it was 87.

Wisconsin had a great team and we're really starting to be a major pain in the @$$ under another guy named Bennett.

Not real high on Mack coming just because of sanctions at U OF L. I want a winner but I also want them to WANT to be here not because it's their bail out option. 

IF it were him, he would be leaving an area where he has huge ties.

And, FWIW......have to say that if Ohio State and Indiana had offered Bob Knight the job at the same time, he would have been a Buckeye.

Knight's teams won in different ways, not always track meets.  He's the best coach ever for a reason.

Knight was awesome! We can’t forget John Wooden, though.

What style is “IU basketball”?  Because from where I sit, it’s been losing.

guess I don’t get the thought that if the name doesn’t come from an individual’s personal list of top two or so, it’s a bad hire.

For the last 20+ years, it's been no ball movement, 3 man weave on offense, win a big game every now and again... get some really good recruits who take us all the way to the Sweet 16... beat a #1 team every now and again... and fail to make the NCAA dance and even the NIT.

I will say Woodson would be the most giffable coach since Crean.

I don't care what the average is. Not looking for average. No excuse to be below 75. 

Then go watch the NBA and stop complaining about college basketball.

It was 87, but Steve Yoder was the coach and they were 4-14 in B1G play...Bennett didn't go to Wisky until 1995...

Correct. I'll never change. Sorry for being consistent I guess? His style can stay in Wisconsin and Virginia. 

For me all you have to do is see what he did at Washington State.......yes Washington Freakin State.  That is a testament that shows he can win ANYWHERE.

I, and the rest of this board, have no consensus on who would be a home run other than Brad. Maybe the Woodson and Smart talk is just a way of addressing the complaints from previous searches that IU guys received zero consideration. I think there is some credibility to the conjecture that it was a purposeful leak to signal the aggressive overtures to Brad. However, I fear the result was merely to create inevitable disappointment with any other choice. Although several excellent coaches are being discussed, there is obvious no transformational hire that meets with universal approval. Still hoping for a left field choice that hasn’t been mentioned. Eric Spoelstra , anyone? He only makes 3m.
