I'm vehemently opposed to Steve Alford coaching at IU -- for myriad reasons. But I'd take him six days a week and seven times on Sunday before I'd hire Andy Enfield.

If Andy Enfield is the best we can do, I'd just as soon stick with Archie.

That sounds just like the kind of boring, low-key hire our administration would prefer.

Hopefully it’s just because Dolson wants to meet Enfield’s wife.

Wow. That one had not even occurred to me. His roster profile couldn’t look less like this IU team. He recruits pretty much nothing but long run/jump athletes. Gonna need to chew on this one a little bit.

Okay folks--before we trash a guy because he is a relatively unfamiliar name, let's get 'truthy': Enfield as a head coach--Very impressive results at two college stops:

Florida Gulf Coast (Two seasons preceding Enfield and the two seasons he was there):

Total: 18-41

ENFIELD ARRIVES

2011: 15-17

2012: 26-11

Total: 41-18

USC (Seven Seasons preceding Enfield and the seven seasons he has been there):

2007: 21-12

2008: 21-13

2009: 16-14

2010: 19-15

Total: 122-110

ENFIELD ARRIVES:

2019: 22-9

2020: 20-6

• Was the shooting coach/consultant for the Bucks and the Celtics. Three point shooting coach god.
• Has successfully recruited five star players.
• Has some slime on him-assistant Coach Tony Bland was an FBI scandal target.
• Salary and buyout is completely doable.

[Parakeet Jones]

Not sure what I think about Enfield, but I take encouragement in the fact they are reaching out to someone.  

[Class of '66 Old Fart]

Could we just hire Enfield's wife and leave Andy in California?  Not exactly making this old man do cartwheels -- not that I could if I wanted to.

[Josh]

Let's try something crazy.  Reggie Miller looks good in those candystripes on that Wendy's commercial.  We need to make him assistant coach/lead recruiter

[IUrocker]

If they are reaching out, would that cause more believe and proof that a move is going to be made after this season, or not necessarily?

He most certainly does NOT want that job. You right--is crazy

[Unexpectedflash]

Just keep Archie if Enfield is the best we do. Only reason USC is good this year is because they hired Evan Mobley’s dad as coach and the PAC 12 is terrible.

[Hoosierfan2017]

Well that’s underwhelming but not at all surprising.

You can't tell me those candystripes are just coincidence.  It's a message to Dolson.

• Salary and buyout is completely doable.

For these reasons I think Enfield is both a good “check in to keep a backup plan in mind” coach AND surprising, given the Tony Bland stuff.

In other words, it isn’t exciting and I’d be shocked if it went this way...but you do your due diligence and he’s done more with less.

[Alford Bailey]

USC fans are upset Enfield cant squeeze in the tourney as a 8/9 seed and his teams are consistently bad free throw shooters.....

So you're saying I'm frosty to the idea, but you find it hot and juicy?

[lillurk]

If anything contacting Enfield might mean someone has a good relationship with his agent and/or IU is casting a wide net. Might be taken as a good sign they’re doing a broad search and gauging interest.

Biggie size it.  We'd get every top recruit in the world

[Loaded Chicken Sandwich]

That FGCU vs Georgetown game in 2013 is one of my favorite games of all time. Dunk City was known after that. Super fun team to watch. Whooped up on Otto Porters Georgetown team and Jamal Franklin's San Diego State team.

I was told that IU has reached out to Andy Enfield. He doesn’t sound exciting to me.

If true and he gets hired, assembly hall may be torn down.
