BA47591 Posted February 18 Posted February 18 Does anyone think it won't be Dusty? 7y-50m and incentives? I think he has a signing bonus of 1.5 ish to repay if he leaves before April 1.That shouldn't hold us back. Buyout is low. He's not everyone's #1 choice but probably in everyone's top 3. Then we can start the speculation about the roster. IUFAN1976 and Iufan93 2

But the shots they take they make. 50/70/37 on the season vs IU is at 46/72/32 I think I just got there before you did. I'd be interested in seeing how he'd do with a higher level of talent. I'd be fine with him but I'm starting to come around on Brad Brownell. High school team mate of Calbert Cheaney opens some doors for me.

The one thing I'd say is I don't know that Indiana is in a position (with this hire needing to hit and hit big) to give a guy his first D1 job. Especially after doing so with Mike Davis and watching that dumpster fire. 8bucks 1

You might say poor “optics.” Putting Woodson ahead of the program was an awful decision made for the same reason Mike Davis was given an extension. IU has to clean the slate and get serious. They have NOT been serious in a long time. Bowhunter, Class of '66 Old Fart, FWHoosier84 and 9 others 12

str8baller Posted February 18 Posted February 18 8 hours ago, Hoosierfan2017 said: Tony Bennett? Timing would seem to be wrong. He just retired less than 6mos ago, and I would assume he’d need at least a year off before someone could coax him back. I personally would love that hire and he’d be at the top, or near the top, of my list. He won the ACC 6x and Conf tourney twice in a league where Roy and K were rolling and he never had better than 3rd best talent. We would be looking at a next decade of conf titles, perennial top 4 finishes, top 5ish tourney seeds, and a great chance at hanging another banner. I don’t think Indiana could do much better, but so many things in life come down to timing and it’s hard to see how it would work out. Pagoda, Alford Bailey, tkbbn and 1 other 4

I think if they offered him an extension today, he would still put it off until the end of the season. As far as I know, there has been talks but nothing official. BS most like off the table, ;) ;), I think Dusty will be our coach. Old Friend 1
