Todd Golden anyone???.....seems like he could be similar to Brad Stevens trajectory down the road. Though he does only look like hes 12.

See in softly pro-Buzz from his tier of candidates; not my fav but I think a good choice.

This really speaks well of him. My two questions, one from what’s above and one lingering:

1. Can we get the guy a real offensive star to get those O #s into the top tier?

2. Is he gonna leave a pretty good spot at TAMU?

yes please, very much want him.... just got cleared of a stalking incident though and has an assistant being investigated, too... I'd have him higher than many names that have been shown. UF is ROLLING

Given that players were willing to come play in Mike Woodson’s system of all things, I think we could get players to play on the moon for enough NIL. 

If you look at big ten players and their athletic ability compared to most of the SEC teams it isn't even close so that is why I asked. To me these coaches style of play is better with long athletic wings and guards and you don't see much of that in the big ten

My #2 option, ol Pete...

He has a shelf life of about 5 or 6 years before he moves on to the next spot.   

[Kentuckysucks 4,332]

Buzz Williams is the type of guy you would expect IU to hire if there was no NIL or portal and Mike Woodson had just been caught cheating and the entire program had been blown up with no scholarship players left.  We will do better.

And I would gladly take 5 or 6 years of Buzz to get this program back to winning and competing for the conference titles  before he moved on

These are the numbers I know from the couple of contributors I know well. Ballo, Rice, Carlyle =2.5m. Leal, Galloway =900k.  (3.4m)

A conservative guess on the rest. Mgbako, Tucker, Reneau, Goode  (2.5m) Hatton, Cupps, Newton, James (500k) 

I'm confident it's not less 6m. 

 

One of the crazy things is that I'm pretty certain Mike let the money dictate who he played, at least to start the year. You will never be able to convince that Carlyle earned a starting role in practice.

But we could also do a lot worse. He wouldn't be in my top 3, but he isn't too far beyond that.

So how much of the revenue sharing does the basketball team get?

Buzz is a classic high floor low ceiling hire.  He will never keep the fans happy.  Would be better to go with an up and comer.  At least then we’d have hope.

$6M spent wisely by a real coach >>> $6M handed out like halloween candy by Woodson.

That didn't answer the question. But, yes, I have read your opinion. 

I would have hope with Buzz.

Getting hammered at a bar when you are one of the highest profile people not to mention best paid state employees is a problem. I suppose you can disagree that this is problem drinking but personally  I don’t want IU’s basketball coach intoxicated in public. 

Reads that Chris Beard gets drunk at local bars

Do you have proof in photos? Pretty damning accusations like these must have photos to back up. It’s not like the 80’s when cell phones weren’t around, and we all had Jay Edwards stories.

Asks for proof

Now states a video of a drunken slurring Chris Beard in a bar, on Christmas Day no less, is not proof that he gets drunk in public.

 

Getting plastered all alone in a bar on Christmas Day. 

I'm guessing that is a pretty good indicator of a drinking problem.

Stevens, May. Some guys that are really old like Pearl.

Then there's the much higher ceiling, slightly worse floor guy - McCasland (that's my favorite non-Stevens/May choice) and the likely unattainable but complete home run choices - Oats and Otzelberger.
