thanks . . . i've spent last few minutes rewatching Hanner's HS highlights on youtube - if only we ran the open dunk system, would have been a legend

Saw him in AAU an event in Bloomington with my brother and he was dominated by a 6'3" guy from Bloomington North I believe.

My brother who did some high-school coaching, That kid can't play a lick.

LOL

I'd rather have Stevens but it'd be difficult to complain about Scott Drew. He's 54 so we could still have more than 10 good years.

I think Drew would be good for IU...

Why be more careful! We all know you think stevens. Say it loud proud and often. If it is what you are hearing. Who cares if people on here call you out because at this point they are going to anyhow

I will when I have heard from someone I trust that it is a done deal. Some others have heard things like that but I have not. 

Also I thought it was done last time, people believed me, I felt I let them down and I got some really nasty emails from people. Just trying to avoid that

Where do you get that he's fading off a bit?  He's still finished in the top 4 of the Big 12 (the best conference in basketball during that time) the last 6 years and hasn't finished worse than 7th since 2010-2011.  Sure it's a down year this year, but nothing tells me he is fading.   

Most proven coaches are going to have had really good years at previous stops. 

If Scott Drew says yes, you take him and run.

Thanks Chris. I have 100 percent faith!

I feel that's what posters did to IUWINS0708. I may be way off, jmo

Has he hired you to respond or is this volunteer work for you?

He's being sarcastic because RTZ said Harlanson would pick IU...but he picked Notre Dame instead...maybe he's right about Stevens though...

Had no idea. He always seems to have really good info as far as I know.

He used to post on HSN I believe then left after the Brad and BillyD to IU assurances fell through.  I think anyway.

Those email writers are unhappy-with-life tools.  Appreciate what you share and the sense of humor that you have about it.  If it works out great!  If not we will still get a damn good coach.

Here's the real question- who had worse hands Hanner or Justin Smith? I don't either ever caught a ball cleanly. I'm surprised they could even feed themselves as difunctional as their hands appeared to be.
Now back to General Coach Candidate News.....

That being said, I'm still on the Stevens train until it derails 

I think I remember unlocking that character in NBA Jam.

The posters are definitely going to do that. Most of the ones that will are huge a holes. The info that had came out even if you just take the sterling video clears all these insiders. They are posting what they are hearing. I respect all of them. Chris has been right about alot of stuff. Isaac may be a troll but I am not certain. If he is you would think he would post more often to get people more wound up imo

I think it’s mostly that I’m pinning my hopes on infusing something young and fresh into the program at this point instead of trying to go for instant winning success for a few years with an older coach. I think it’s great that he is religious, but I also feel that sometimes people at that age can start to have different priorities in life and other things become More important and the passion that he once had is not exactly there anymore and I would rather not take a chance on that. 
I also feel that he is most likely in a better environment, religiously speaking down there in Baylor than he would be here at Indiana so it doesn’t really make sense to me on that level.

It might be before your time but Ewe Blab had the worst hands in the history of IU.

He’d be a slam dunk for sure. And after a reading a couple threads their natives seem a little restless which is insane. Maybe he’s ready for a change of scenery (or any scenery after living in Waco), and a return home. 

May have missed it, and sorry if answered, but what’s the NIL situation at Baylor? He has continued to recruit well, so I am guessing probably better than say an Iowa State situation?

I don't know that I'd say he's fading off. This is a down year, sure, but the previous three are as follows:

27-7 (14-4), tied for 1st

23-11 (11-7), tied for 3rd

24-11 (11-7), tied for 3rd

Won a game in the tourney each year. He won the title the year in 2020-21. That'd be the best stretch we've had in a long time.
