This is my first time posting on any so bear with me. First, I believe yesterday was the anniversary of one of my top five Hoosier basketball moments, A.J. Moye and the Boozer block. I watch a replay of that game every March. As far as a new coach, my completely uneducated opinion is that it comes down to two coaches that being Drew or Musselman. The program needs a jolt of energy and I think these two can provide that. Drew can obviously recruit and both run systems that have energy. You're not recruiting kids to come play defense. You sell them on an uptempo offense and then challenge them to pride themselves on playing lockdown defense. I think both can do this. I wasn't really sold on Musselman at all until after their last game and it was two things. The first was him jumping on the table after the win, that is exactly what this program needs, someone who brings energy and passion. The second was an interview I read about Justin Smith. I saw him as a guy with limitless potential who was just lazy and lacked motivation. Now it seems like he was just unhappy playing in a system that was basically boring and uninspiring. Great 1st post!

Pains me to not be able to wear my IU gear. Not worth the grief. Wear the damn gear who cares. I where mine to work 5 days a week. Only time I care is when my daughter asked me why I like them if they lose all the time. I could only say it wasn't always this way and hopefully won't be for long.

Popular Post RaceToTheTop Posted March 23, 2021 Popular Post Posted March 23, 2021 FWIW, I think guys who were probably in the know before -- like chris -- are pretty gun shy about sharing any information. Also think the sources they had are a little gun shy to share with them what they know. I believe the intel was good but it didn't work out with Stevens. I'm sure guys like Chris and sources he has are going to be playing it pretty close to the vest right now....which is going to lead to a little of the 'silly season' of rumors....guys coming out of the woodwork with no real information or solid sources. But I don't blame those who got burnt. Seems like they too tons of crap for doing nothing more than providing what they knew. My guess is Chris knows more than he is willing to let on -- and I don't blame him one bit. It's not going to change the hire and in the end, it's probably just going to mean we might know who it is a couple of days later than we would have otherwise. thebigweave, Chris007, johnsoniu and 9 others 12

HinnyHoosier Posted March 23, 2021 Posted March 23, 2021 Personally, I have my group of preferred candidates and that’s where I stopped. Guys who would get this program back to consistent winning. There isn’t just one. I haven’t ranked them in my mind, because as soon as they don’t hire my #1 there will be an element of disappointment. And I don’t know about you, but I’m sick of disappointment associated with IU basketball. I trust Dolson & Co to make a solid hire. We obviously know what he wants for this program, so I’m just going to let him do his work and quit worrying so much. He’s vetting and talking to these guys, not me. He knows more about how they operate and what will fit the program. Big picture: We moved on from Archie Miller. The next chapter starts regardless of the hire, so be on board for a new start.

woodenshoemanHoosierfan Posted March 23, 2021 Posted March 23, 2021 Been off the thread since about 3. Does this sum up the last few hours? unsubstantiated rumors that Matta agreed to a deal with Indiana and then failed a physical. Quickly shot down by the most reliable local reporters from our athletic department as untrue. No one actually has any reliable information that IU talked to Matta, much less went into contract talks or asked him to take alleged physical. Reaction even after this non proof assumes that all the rumors were true and that apparently he was the only guy we have talked and that we are an embarrassment. Then some Indiana sports guy with a twitter following smaller than my 12 year old nephew says it will be Belein, then intimates it will be someone from a multitude of former Indians guys. do I have it summed up?Exactly correctSent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk

Bowhunter Posted March 23, 2021 Posted March 23, 2021 I like the coaches still winning in the tournament. I would be really happy with Musselman, Oats, or Altman, maybe Drew. Beard would be good too. Nothing wrong with putting feelers out, but I’m hoping it’s one of the names I mentioned.Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners coonhounds, Jeff_Boy_Ardee, FightFor6 and 1 other 4

Popular Post Stuhoo Posted March 23, 2021 Popular Post Posted March 23, 2021 Enfield anyone? He won at a small school (FGCU), advanced to a football P5 school and levered that promotion into great recruiting and good results, especially this year. Charismatic program leader too. Admittedly, getting the Mobley brothers after hiring their dad helped immensely, but hey...he got em! I believe people underrate him because they’ve never see his team play. lillurk, iuthruandthru, HinnyHoosier and 6 others 9
