I mean I felt really good and think I was agreeing with you here @Chris007until you said “horse”. Dang if that is a horse, or if there is some hidden meaning where a bull is a horse well I guess I will never get one of his posts. I was feeling all young and cool then you said horse. That has to be the ugliest horse out there. Ride her til she bucks you! Artie86, J34, JustWinBaby and 2 others 5
Home Jersey Posted March 10 Posted March 10 3 minutes ago, Hoosier987 said: It would be impossible because hundreds if not thousands have failed. What counts as failing though? Coaching is a complicated career path. Only one team wins it all/their conference every year. Should Greg McDermott be out because he failed during his time at Iowa State? I think of course not. Pitino Jr. stunk at Minnesota but now has New Mexico at 25-6 with a chance in March. Don't want him personally. Mick Cronin is certainly not a failure, he goes to the tournament every year, but he's not a world beater either per se. Chris Collins has a mediocre record at NW, which is probably impressive in itself considering it's NW. Bruce Weber flamed out at Illinois then went to Kansas State and went to an E8 and T-1st in the conference twice. Tom Crean had high highs and low lows at IU. He was hot garbage at UGA. IMO we are shopping in an aisle without any guarantees. You can take someone with a higher floor and accept their ceiling for what it is, knowing they're probably not going to start the next dynasty here but you're giving yourself a shot to win consistently and eventually have a handful of special teams. Or you can "gamble" on a guy who has won 80% of his career games, including the outright MVC title in his first year in D1. Who set the single season wins record at Drake (30-3 .909) and may have more upside potential at just 43 years old. He certainly could fail here, wouldn't be the first to... but it would be a first for him personally. There are no guarantees. Shoes_N_Shorts, Silat Player, go iu bb and 1 other 4

He certainly could fail here, wouldn't be the first to... but it would be a first for him personally. There are no guarantees. I don't think Mcdermott or Cronin have failed. They're not necessarily my first picks, but I would choose them over Mccollum and my guess is most people would. For a high major like Indiana, failing is not winning on a consistent level, not having us compete for Big Ten titles every couple of years and someone who doesn't have us competing for Final Fours every several years. I'm not placing my trust or bets on Mccollum to do any of that until he's got more experience other than D2 and 1 year at Drake with 2 quad 1 games (both of which weren't great teams either) under his belt...as you said, it's "no guarantees." I think we have some guarantees this time around. Home Jersey 1

Maybe I'm not getting it quite right. Coulda been wouldn't "sign" or give "verbal" or something like that. Just vaguely remember reading SOMETHING along those lines. Hell, maybe I just made it up in my optimistic head! Haha Chris007 1

Hoosier Guy Posted March 10 Posted March 10 46 minutes ago, 12345Brad said: As @Chris007 mentioned, talking to a handful of candidates is part of the process for a variety of reasons. I liken it to the Bears before they hired Ben Johnson. We all knew that Ben Johnson was going to be the head coach. Still, they interviewed everyone under the sun until the announcement was official. The same thing could be happening here. lillurk, JPCIVOP and Chris007 3

Trish Posted March 10 Posted March 10 3 hours ago, Motley's said: None of those teams hired an active CBB coach. So that's a good indication that IU will hire someone who's still coaching. It's a great opportunity to continue to study the candidates. Miami just hired Duke’s assistant coach. HoosierDevils 1
