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

My theory is that lack of money can keep you awake at night, but beyond that money doesn’t help all that much.

Research has shown that the extemes of wealth -- high poverty or high wealth -- are the most prone to suicide.

That individual didn't seem to think Beard is untouchable

I think it was Stuhoo who had said he's a Texas guy and wouldn't leave the state as he and his ex-wife share custody of their kids. Doubtful he'd uproot for Bloomington, IN if the financials are as dire as they are made to be here and we couldn't afford a top flight salary.

“I don’t get involved in it at all. I’m here for Coach Miller to help him, not replace him,” said Cuban, who graduated from IU in 1981. “This is a crazy year across the board and I love IU and IU Basketball, but I also am not one to panic.”

If Indiana wants to replace Archie Miller, it won’t be because of Cuban.

He might not be untouchable......but his annual salary makes him the fourth highest paid in college basketball at about $4.5 million per year.  Have to imagine that if her to become available that suitors could be pushing that number in 6 range.

Cuban has been consistent in that he does not want to be the guy whose money is used to hire and fire coaches at Indiana.

Forget him.....who is Dan Fife?

Very accomplished high school coach in Michigan. Has a couple boys (Dugan, Michigan and Dane, IU) who played Big Ten ball. Dan is in the Michigan Sports Hall of Fame. A fine resume, but I don't think we'd want to hire him as our next basketball coach!

Yeah I think if IU is wanting the established low risk very high reward type then it's going to have to be close to that number of not a little above.

Cuban has said he wants to help all students, not student-athletes.

Wes Miller is waiting for UNC to open up, which could be anytime.

Seems like a silly move to jump to a sinking ship for a couple years and then take the UNC job. 

Almost certainly true. DM’d with Mike DeCourcy, and if you follow him on Twitter he’s a good dude and great about answering DM’s, when the Wake Forest job  opened up and asked why they wouldn’t just hire Miller. His response was that he was looking bigger.

I'll always support IU athletics and especially the basketball program.  However, with that stated, if IU hires Fife it's just another signal where we are as a program and what the administration thinks of it.  Fun times!

And what other coaches think as well.  If we are bottom of the barrel and nobody wants to come,  Fife might be the only legitimate choice.

But unlike Fife Shrewsbury has never been a head coach ANYWHERE. 

I listed a bunch of 'high-upside' candidates, but for me right now? I'd take Dennis Gates over the whole lot of 'em.

 

So Belmont is now 24-2 instead of 24-1 and you're just throwing Alexander out the window? Tough crowd you are, Stu.

Hahaha.

I'm evolving and believe that experience at a P5 program is an important item.

Wes Miller, Dane Fife, and Dennis Gates all have D1 coaching and top 20 program asst coaching experience.
