I've not once stated I know thay McCollum is separate from the midmajor bust group, lord. You literally did just that in the post I was responding to.

Hoosierfan2017 Posted March 10 Posted March 10 17 minutes ago, str8baller said: Cronin’s floor is way higher. Otoh, questions about his personality and offense may make it seem like his ceiling is below what IU ultimately wants. McCollum is the exact other end of that spectrum. Collins probably is somewhere in the middle. If those candidates are on the same “level” for Dolson to choose from a lot of it may boil down to how risk tolerant he is and what the behind the scenes politics look like. Why is McCollum’s ceiling higher, though? Cronin is in his sixth season at UCLA. It’s a comparable job to IU in some ways. The tournament got canceled his first season. He went to the sweet 16 each of the next three seasons, including a trip to the final 4. Last year was a bad year in large part to UCLA’s NIL issues. This year he finished 13-7 in the same conference we’re in. If we put Cronin’s ceiling at sweet 16s and competing for conference championships, what evidence at this point to say that McCollum has a higher ceiling than that other than his “ceiling” being a total unknown?

8bucks Posted March 10 Posted March 10 32 minutes ago, BA47591 said: He's a calculated guy. He had a lot of offeres to move up. He was hot after the 38-0 D2 champion and stayed. Again, jmo, but I think he'll build Drake in his own image and move to a spot of his choice with several of his own players. He doesn't seem to be in hurry to rush things. Could be but some of those opportunities could have been D1 but not really good options. Like maybe IPFW or some other place where winning was going to be hard. D2 to D1 is not a common pathway to great places and maybe his D2 gig was a great fit. If he is calculated, seeing as how we brought in a confident former D2 coach recently who did really well should be part of that calculation. I bet a conversation with Cig who could let him know how Scott and Pam kept promises made, gave him the support to win and how when you win here things are great. He can also address whether the other parts of the job are too much or not that big a deal. BannerVille 1
