Worked out better than our replacement strategy 

Absolutely... But we shouldn't strive for a Kevin Ollie. He was god awful. Couldn't coach and couldn't recruit.

I personally am a big fan of Nate Oats but I am confused by a lot of the talk on here around him. Am I missing something I was under the impression that there was no way we would get him?

We will get our man ........ or someone like him!!!

IU to the moon!!! Hold the line Dolson!!!

He literally says what the news will be. Players will be putting their names in the transfer portal or declaring.

Am I missing something?

Good point 

I thought no way in heck could Marquette compete financially with facilities and basketball stuff back when Garcia was down to IU and Marquette.  Then every National scout pointed out how their boosters just throw money at the program and how other basketball programs would kill for some of the stuff they have.   I dug a little myself and saw their facilities and they were impressive.  It will be interesting if he gets down to those 2 and it’s his choice what he ultimately does 

One thing they don't have a football program so all the boosters put their money to basketball.

Im on the muss bus so go oral roberts

So you want a coach who loses to Oral Roberts

[woodenshoemanHoosierfan 6,182]

Just caught Around the Horn bit on Porter Moser to Indiana.  
3 out of 4 panelists (the other didn't say either way) said he shouldn't leave for IU if offered and Loyola was a better job. 
Plaschke also said IU is no longer a blue blood and no one wants to go there anymore. lol
The barrage from national media continues
 

People still watch ESPN fir something other than games?

How often does a head coach in waiting work out anyways? I’m struggling to think of any examples in recent times. Izzo I think but that was before my times. If we got Beilein I’d rather him stabilize the job for 6-7 years when we’re in a good position to hire someone better if we can’t get anyone now.

Coach in waiting really only works if the guy is going to quickly take over.  With Painter it was a one year wait.  A guy in waiting can very easily find another head coaching job if the team is doing well.  And if they aren't, he might not want the job.

Hopkins at Syracuse was a coach in waiting for like 6 years and finally left to take the Washington job.

The most concerning thing to me in that article was the fact that multiple "industry sources" think Marquette is a better job now than Indiana. With all the other bad press we've been getting I'm starting to believe that IU really isn't a super desirable job.

Well their biggest issue is the supposed "fishbowl" that is IU.  I don't want a wuss @$$ coach afraid of the "fishbowl."  You want to be the best, you have to run with the big dogs.    

[HoosierKnight 182]

Guy on Twitter lol’s at the idea of Beard coming to IU. Beard supposedly was interested in IU earlier. 
 

NO ONE KNOWS ANYTHING!
