If it’s indeed Ben, can we all agree that Indiana isn’t a powerhouse program? 

Who is arguing that it is? It has the potential to be one but it hasn’t been for 30 years. The right coach can have us flying again. Doesn’t have to be a big name. Just the right coach.

Absolutely. Would be a huge middle finger to the alumni who have given so much money throughout the years. What a small time, non serious, joke of a hire (if Goodman actually has any clue).

McCollum having been a college head coach since he was 28 is really making me question my life choices.

Sorry but I'm way more interested in giving McCullum a go than I am the likes of freakin' Brownell! There is quite a bit more possible upside to McCullum. Brownell is the equivalent of whiskey d*ck.

Haven't been a powerhouse program in 30+ years

Clean out all lockers, coaches' offices...get rid of absolutely everyone and start over and get rid of these entitled pros. We've had to watch these players for far too **** long. Get rid of all of them....tonight.

He ain’t wrong. Need a reset.

You are so wrong here.

Dude I would amputate parts of my own body for Brad Stevens to be our coach.  Very few truly have an idea how much a fan girl I would be for that dude.  People in the Boston area don’t feel too strongly for us lol.  But I am not here to rain on anyone’s parade.  I am not sitting in the room with that family.  Or any other.  Just happened to sit with a family more games this year than usual that would have a better idea than most.  And they are probably only sharing 10% of what they know.  So I will never pretend to know more than people that are around the program or office daily.  This was truly an odd coincidence that has happened twice in 25 years.

My right hand! Kinda sucked! But...anything for Brad! Lol

Hasn’t been one for a long time.

If we hire McCollum we can all agree that it could be again, but that there’s certainly risk with every hire.

The thing I like best about McCollum? I’ve now heard enough of his interviews and the thing I’ve learned about him is that he is an obsessive compulsive “details matter” coach.

This kinda stuff doesn't get leaked without it being close to a sure thing.  Ben McCollum will be the next basketball coach. 

Let’s hope!!!! :) lmao

Hasn’t been for at least 9 years.  Just some have held onto hope for way too long.  On court result matter and IU has been a middle of the pack B1G team.  People see what they want to see though

I think we should be in a category that does not yet exist. Legacy school. We are a legacy school currently. We have a deep and storied tradition with many game changing moments in our history. I’m sure someone more eloquent could add to that definition.

If that’s the same as saying the job isn’t that desirable then, yes, I agree.

100%.   With McCollum he could make himself one of the elite guys at Indiana.  Way better than a retread like Brownell. I know you could have said the same thing about Archie, but lets hope it works out in this case.

When it isn't Brad, I'm going to need a tell-all from some people about what happened the last month+. Not as a gotcha or to prove they know people, but to try to make sense of a whole heap of coincidences and not just from tracking random flights.

I am more interested in the other tell all book.  You know the one where it is Brad

If things go a certain way, IU could miss the tournament, and McCollum could coach them in the Crown! ;)

I can tell you it’s not. Indiana and McCollum have been talking since January.

Does Iowa fire Fran to keep Ben home quickly?
