General Coach Candidate News

[Alford Bailey 12,250]

USC fans are upset Enfield cant squeeze in the tourney as a 8/9 seed and his teams are consistently bad free throw shooters.....

You can't tell me those candystripes are just coincidence.  It's a message to Dolson.  

So you're saying I'm frosty to the idea, but you find it hot and juicy?

[lillurk 3,668]

If anything contacting Enfield might mean someone has a good relationship with his agent and/or IU is casting a wide net. Might be taken as a good sign they’re doing a broad search and gauging interest.

Biggie size it.  We'd get every top recruit in the world

That FGCU vs Georgetown game in 2013 is one of my favorite games of all time. Dunk City was known after that. Super fun team to watch. Whooped up on Otto Porters Georgetown team and Jamal Franklin's San Diego State team.

I was told that IU has reached out to Andy Enfield. He doesn’t sound exciting to me.

If true and he gets hired, assembly hall may be torn down.

I will very literally take anyone over Archie. I really don't care who it is. 

Whether we like it or not, it'll cause for some new hope for the program. Archie would be walking to his death all of next season. The boos wouldn't be able to get louder.

I'm just sitting here in awww. That's all I got.

Out of the box hire.  Not sexy but could possibly succeed at IU.  At least he's not mid-major (I know PAC whatever is debatable).  Unfortunately, I don't think we are getting a guy with a ring, already in the HOF.  New coach is going to have to work for it.  

[Hoosier1984 1,533]

Reading some articles on him now and his teams...sounds like Archie 2.0. Doesn’t get the most out of his players, doesn’t make adjustments and fans say his teams are hard to watch even in a win.

What a buzz kill! I like it better when you talk about Stevens

Who else are we reaching out to? Surprised to hear that is the only name shared here I believe and he would likely be outside the top 15 coaches we have all been talking about.

This is the most dangerous thinking one could have. 
 

Are you okay, sir?

Time to quit IU basketball then! Looking forward to going full NBA!

• Was the shooting coach/consultant for the Bucks and the Celtics. Three point shooting coach god.
• Has successfully recruited five star players.
• Has some slime on him-assistant Coach Tony Bland was an FBI scandal target.
• Salary and buyout is completely doable.

 Could you look into the strength of schedule for the years he arrived and maybe in comparison? I’ll dig into it Monday I suppose. 
 

Trying to avoid too much depression today I suppose. At least it’s beautiful here in Bloomington!

I just wonder if a name like Andy Enfield is going to be one of many that are underwhelming being thrown out there as some smoke because we truly have a bigger fish on the line....my hopes at least. I’d just like to think Dolson wants to get this right and see IU basketball get back to where it’s supposed to be.

It’s important that IU make a good hire.

It’s also true that IU has many, many options that will be an improvement over the current situation and/or a lame duck

[Class of '66 Old Fart 80,958]

Enfield's name popping up today is like the zookeeper throwing fresh meat in the lion's cage.

Sure. 
 

But a no name hire.. there goes the fan base.
