Buzz Williams getting constantly mentioned screams "please give me a raise" to his current job.

I also wonder at this point does Woody really want to win this one to prove a point, or does it not really matter that much to him?

We will know quick if he finally starts one big. But my guess, because Michigan plays two bigs we will too, never mind that their bigs can step outside and the one guy can put it on the deck. It’s a bad matchup for the Ballo/Malik tandem IMO. But I am certain Woody wants to win this game. I’d bet it’s been circled for a while, unless he’s completely disconnected and thinks their coach is named Rusty May.

Hoping for Dusty to jump ship to a conference opponent after only a year at Michigan feels alot like the NFL crowd that actually believes that an NFL team is going to trade for a sought after HC. Just not real likely folks

[SlammySammy 475]

I don’t want one of these guys that gets lucky every few years and makes it to the tournament….williams needs to show he can dominate his conference first….he can’t even win a conference title..I vote no….even though nobody cares about my vote

I mean Dusty negotiated his buyout to be very easy to do, but go off.

One name I'm happy to see isn't being thrown around is Shrewsberry.

Give it a couple pages, and somebody who doesn't see this post will pop in here with "what do you guys thing about Micah Shrewsberry?"

I’m not saying you (or anyone else is wrong about this) but is there any truth to this claim other than folks seeing the buyout as a little low? And it’s not really super low for a guy jumping to P4 from what I can research. I just don’t see anything to support this claim. 

[LamarCheeks 20,237]

Not seeing why Brownell is getting so many mentions. 

He's been to four NCAAs in 14 seasons at Clemson. 

If he weren't from Evansville, I can almost guarantee you he wouldn't be on anyone's list.

He'd probably be better than Woody, but much like we hired Woody only because he's an IU legend, Brownell is only a "candidate" because he's from Indiana.

Right?? I mean there was a reason behind that…..and hoping to get the IU job makes as much sense as anything I have heard

Thanks for your assurances and the photo of him in glasses. This totally reinforces that he is very much not alpha and not the coach for us. Thank you.

Kind of like this guy?

Well, in 2000 posts , I never saw it…my apologies

Lmao this guy was definitely not an alpha….he was a cheater, plain and simple….one thing never said about Wooden “alpha male”. He was a cheating enabler and rarely disciplined anyone….i refrained from using POS but it fits

 No worries I dropped a video of him with his Virginia tech days earlier.  Won’t be the first choice however all the guy does is wins and make the tourney at place like Virginia Tech and now at A&M.   Won’t win the press conference but he would have IU competing in the top half of the conference and making the tourney consistently.  Something they haven’t done in a very long time.  Better options? Sure but that guy will grind 

[SlammySammy 475]

I really believe this hire needs to be a home run or IU risks more apathy from the fans…..Brownell does not inspire excitement in anyone….nor do anyone else on that sporting news list…if that is a valid list of coaches Dolson is focused on, I guess we keep this thread on standby for 2029 for the next search

This is it in a nutshell for me and the reason I don't think Beard gets a call.

Yeah, I tend to agree, but as I mentioned in another thread, the RMK reference continues to make me go hmmm a little bit.
