General Coach Candidate News

[TrueHoosier62]

I don't have a clue who the next coach is going to be, but in contrast to many posts, I don't see anything out of the ordinary with how this is playing out. Regardless of whether or not IU "already has their man", nothing is likely to be announced until after the team's season is over. That nothing substantial or verifiable has been linked to a finalized deal, also doesn't surprise me. Nor do I think that the timing of any forthcoming announcement reflects their current employment status. If IU doesn't make the tournament, (in my opinion they aren't good enough and therefore shouldn't), I suspect things will move pretty fast. If instead they do make the tournament, I wouldn't expect an announcement until the week after their season concludes. Everything else I've read here about flight details, real estate ventures, family members, athletic insiders, fortune tellers, barometric pressure patterns, and the number of consonants in various acronyms that match Brad Stevens' mother's maiden name is a bit much.

I’m stuck in a basement due to tornado warnings now Ian of the time to slow down y’all. Let’s make it fun. Who do you think could be a left field hire that no one is expecting that hasn’t been talked about enough here? I’m gonna say Mark Few (I know he’s been discussed some but not in depth) and my curveball is Grant McCasland (money talks and he makes $4m)

Tommy Lloyd.  (Doubt he would leave Zona, but I can dream).

Tom Izzo!!!

Just kidding, but every time IU hires a BB coach there is a rumor that Izzo secretly has always desired to coach at IU. 

Kalvin Sampson!

Look at how good he's doing at Houston. How much more could he do at IU?       /s

I still think Pearl could be a possible left field hire

Well, now that it's only an hour drive to Ohio or Illinois to buy legal smoke, I would imagine that Bloomington is pretty smoky.

You can't drop a banger like that and dip.

Dip is what you do in Indiana when you don't want smoke...

Words or phrases that have recently lost their meaning:

*Insider

*Smoke

*"Bank on it"

*"Done deal"

*Any sentence that includes "Indy Star"

*Peegs, (alright, technically that has never carried much meaning, but I digress).
