That's just it many who claim they want no part of beard I bet were huge knight supporters. Hypocrisy.at its finest. But I'm sure the comeback will be but knight never laid his hands on anyone. But wait he actually did at least twice. And I've seen that clip about the rape comment.

I don't want Beard because I think there are better options.  

Also, society is a lot different now than in the 70-90's. Most of RMK's antics wouldn't go over nowdays either.  

IU should get the best HC available, if that is Beard, ok, but I sure hope not.

This should go without saying obviously, but there will be no press conference tomorrow. I’ll be able to take the lid off a bit later in the week. But will say this, anybody providing details right no

I’ve had several PM’s so wanted to drop a quick line to the broader board. Love this group and fully intend to continue to contribute to the community, Im not going anywhere. (Sorry to a few of you) B

So I couldn’t get much from him unfortunately. But, to me that’s a good thing. There’s been pretty much zero chatter, nor leaks for a month about coaches. He said it doesn’t matter that the season is

True if your supposition is true.

I read an article that said the big buyout for Cronin has a loophole that could negate it. The article didn't go into more specifics, but it was from a legit sports reporter, not some mama's basement Yardbarker type guy, last year when he was reportedly a candidate for the UL job.

I believe if Cronin wanted to move on, the buyout wouldn't be an issue.  I think it would be more of a mutual parting -- UCLA doesn't tend to have coaches with long tenures since Wooden retired.  Bartow 3 years, Cunningham 3 years, Brown 2 years, Farmer 4 years, Hazzard 4 years, Harrick 8 years, Lavin 7 years, Howland 10 years, Alford 5.  Cronin is in his sixth which is pretty par for the course at UCLA as to when they move on.

I don't really want him either but I don't take upon myself to morally judge others. So I just call out hypocrisy when I see. There is no way some of those who claim beard is the worst thing since the devil refused to support iu when knight was the coach. I bet they watched every game under knight. Throws chairs. Assauting cops. No big deal I guess. 

 

 University basketball coach Bobby Knight was charged with assaulting a police officer in Puerto Rico during the Pan American Games. He was tried in absentia and sentenced to six months in jail and a $500 fine.

If we get into the second tier options, how would people rate the following:

Buzz Williams

Mick Cronin

Ben McCollum 

Personally, I would rate them on a scale from one to ten.  I don't know how other people would rate them.

I feel like Cronin's agent is a huge IU fan and likes to post on this board. I have never heard more pumping up of a more mediocre candidate than Cronin....while also being so dismissive of every other candidate as bring "unrealistic". The only people that know if a coach is realistic or not is their respective agents and families.

FWIW at this point I would be more shocked if Brad isn’t the next coach than I would be if he is. Still a lot of ways to go but looking good. IU basketball is back!

Appreciate your perspective from the end of the bench.  Hopefully you can slide up a few spots, keep those ears peeled and bring good updates.

He crushed it at texas tech, texas, and now ole miss....

Yeah, I guess his record is better than I remembered, I wouldn't call that 'crushing it.' Improvement for IU obviously, but I'm not convinced he's the best option on the court. Off the court is another issue.

Cronin and Buzz Williams are top of the WTF hires to me. They will win enough not to get fired but not take us where we want to be. Those hires are for schools that want to win some in Basketball but not really compete for anything. If you can't get Stevens, May, or we aren't touching Beard, I would rather go for an up and comer like McCollum. At least there may be a higher ceiling.

Anyone arguing for Cronin and wondering why people wouldn't be thrilled.....go look at the poll. He is the 18th most favorable hire out of 20. Only ahead of Brownell and Shrews. So there's a reason most don't want to see him hired. I'd support him and think he'd do "fine" but I think we all want more than "fine".

After @Uspshoosier post, I went back and looked at Cronin's coaching history.  While I would not put him at the top of my list, I certainly came back more impressed than I initially was.  He was one I did actually put a yes on, even though he was a tepid one.

I put this on the Poll thread on Beard, and would he actually go to the lengths he would have to go to get the job?  On the flip side, would IU want to monitor what he does or acts in his off to actually keep the job?  

Beard, I put Neutral because I think he would do great in Bloomington, but he would really have to go to AA or something to stay off the booze.  He would also have to do some charity work for battered wives or something to show that he is truly regretful of his past mistakes and the like.  He would just have to prove that those incidents are behind him, and can he truly do it?
