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

This message board is a blast during coaching searches. Rumors are fun. I love "insiders" whether they are wrong or right. It's just fun to talk basketball with fellow Hoosier fans who have been subjected to the same misery as myself. 

But some of you guys are so bipolar and need to chill. The mood goes up and down by the minute. 

"Yes, we are getting Brad Stevens."

*10 minutes later*

"Brad Stevens was never going to happen!" 

*5 minutes later*

"It was all a smoke screen. Brad Stevens is signing his contract Monday!"

*30 seconds later*

"Actually it's Brad Brownell who is signing the contract!! He is Dolsons "guy".  Our program is doomed. Panic!"

 

 

so pretty much like a marriage...

I sure wouldn't. Guy is an average coach. If thats the best we can do boy have we fallen as a program.

I don't want either one but I still have some standards I hope our coach displays

I wonder if it just means Barnwell is on his list of candidates and if others say no and it gets to him then that’s when he would be hired

I would say he has 10 candidates and he just throws a few names to this committee.

Just to be clear this isn’t a source. My son told me this at the game. Not sure where this student journalist got his info. But I know he knows the Goodman girl. I told my son tell that kid that being first isn’t important if you’re wrong.

I, for one, am having trouble keeping up with all the smokescreens. 
 

In all seriousness, it could still be possible just because Steven’s going to IU would be massive news across the NBA not just CBB. If there ever was news to keep quiet, it would be that. Not saying I think it’s likely, but possible.

Not sure that this will make sense to some people. Hell, a lot of stuff posted here doesn’t make sense. But here’s my take on Beard.

Yes, a good coach who can win big here 

Yes, he would be divisive.He might drive off some big donors, but if he starts winning like I think he can, they’d start coming back.

Yes he’s a big risk.

All that to say. Based on his stated love and respect of RMK. Based on him outwardly expressing that he wants the IU job. I think Chris Beard would turn a new leaf in Bloomington. I think he views IU as his church, and RMK his mentor. I believe that he would not do anything that would tarnish those things he holds as so important to him. For lack of better words, I think IU would be the salvation for Chris Beard.

Whether the opportunity exists for him will require some open minds who believe in the concept of redemption. Whether the opportunity exists is going to take leadership who believes that the IU brand is strong enough to take the initial hit it will undoubtedly take, and believe that the reward is worth the risk.

I have personally seen people who have been in as low or lower places than Beard, and have changed themselves to become well respected individuals who contribute to the greater good of society. All it takes is one person, one group of leaders, to give him the chance.

I agree with you 100%

There is some degree of risk and yes, the guy has made some mistakes. Some of those mistakes are inexcusable. But people change. 

He is #1 on my list. Always has been. I love the guy and think he would build a dynasty here.

Yeah I edited out that second paragraph cause it was too salty.  Awesome you gave him that advice.  People need to be able to trust him in his line of work.
