That doesn't make sense because Cronin's style is the same as the big ten brand

 

He has made some comments this year in a press conference where he hints at the physicality of the B1G is why they have struggled.   Earlier they had only won against teams they were familiar with out west and he pointed that out.   Now since he called out everyone of his kids they have been rolling.

Maybe he thought that style would (and largely has) work in the Pac12 since it is unlike most west coast programs..  
now it is just the same style as the rest of the B1G

Kind of sounds like Izzo who has won big in the big ten. I don't know if the ones complaining about how coaches act is to young to remember how coaches use to be. Go watch clips of coaches like Rollie Masimino, Lou Carnesacca, Bob Knight, Gene Keady, Jud Heathcote to just to name a few. What we see today from coaches is tame compared to these coaches 

If you think Cronin is similar to any of those guys, you haven't paid much attention to Cronin.

So as of today we are looking like this if things keep with trends of the program...

1. Stevens 

2. Cronin

3. Alford

This coaching search is like my divorce when I was in my early 30’s. I had to awkwardly live with my ex for 6 weeks while waiting to move into an apartment. I went out most nights and met some women, but I could never bring them home.

Always seem to keep one of our own in our back pocket! He hasn't has his turn yet! Haha!

Unfortunately he's the best coach of the ones that actually went to IU; remember that competition includes savants like Buckner, Wittman, Woodson and Thomas.

And on todays episode of As the World Turns, the rollercoaster of emotion continues as the IU fan base continues to react to the rumors, hints, and falsehoods of who maybe the next HC of their beloved basketball program. Stay tuned as the national pundits begin to inject their opinions on who would be a great replacement just like they did in the past 2 coaching searches even though they are out in left field and like to report on what they heard at the local B-dubs! And don't forget to tune in next week as the half retired, current coach tries to throw in another wrench to the fan bases' plans!

dissolves into a commercial-"Mom, do you ever get that "not so fresh" feeling?

Just make sure you ask the little miss to kindly step out so the big boys can talk. 

That's not funny... and way too soon... just keep Ferguson a million miles away from that.

Probably the most insulting thing I've ever heard of. 

Exactly... and a big part of why what happened then happened then.

Especially when that "little miss" is his wife and agent.  

The woman is a lawyer shouldn't she know if the money is worth the risk.

Technically, we'd probably want to permission just to ensure the Celtics didn't sue for contractual interference. But as a practical matter, I can't see them doing that, so I doubt it would matter.

Edit: But that would probably apply more to a finalized contract phase. We wouldn't be tampering just by engaging in preliminary talks, since that's just an NBA rule.

From everything that has been discussed on here, I’d say that the preliminary talks have already happened.

Our luck, the preliminary talks we've heard of probably consist of Scott calling Brad and having to leave voice-mails :(

If you’ve been around for the last couple coaching searches you should know not to believe much of what is posted on here until you start to see in media outlets too. The BS rumors that have been posted here over the years are completely false according to a star player on the Butler FF runs who is still well connected to Stevens.

Agree, I think PU and Illinois are operating near their cruising altitudes, UM has a good young coach who has the goods, Izzo MSU is Izzo MSU, but the open job at the sleeping giant of a program has obvious appeal. 

Everyone. I repeat, everyone, in the B1G fears who IU will get in bball coaching position. 

Also, everyone, I repeat, everyone, knows that IU has been whiffing on filling the bbal coaching position for the last 25 years. 

It's quite the paradox.

I'm sure a heck of a lot of coaches and fans breathed a big sigh of relief 4 years ago when Woodson was hired.

[IUHAHN81 3,309]

Scott: Uh, hey Brad it's Scott. Hope you and the family are doing good. Uh, hey listen, I'm over here sitting on $92 mil. If you are interested or something, uh, yeah, gimme a buzz. No hurry pal! Tell the kids I said hi."
