Candidate Thread: Chris Beard (Texas Tech)

[cleeter 2,118]

That was one bad last possession. 

I would have went 2 for 1 with 48 seconds left. And then last possession you have to shoot with around 7-10 seconds on the clock. Give yourself a shot at a rebound or a chance to foul and have another miracle chance.

All coming from a coach’s son, so I’m no where near as smart as the actual coach’s

Missed one and one and missed layup. Gotta make those.

I’m not over the moon with this option. We will need to pay him 6-7 per year. Is he worth that.

I know you all hate Scott Drew but that’s the best option all things considered.

You are half right- better options than Beard, but not necessarily Drew. I'm hoping they both quietly decline and IU moves on.

Kinda felt like I was watching IU there at the end tbh...

Why would Scott Drew leave Baylor?

[madmax 442]

IU would be lucky to get Chris Beard. I hope Dolson stops him before he gets to the airport.

I’m starting to align with you here. Drew or Mussleman.

Think we’ll know this week whether or not beard is the guy. If we make an offer I won’t be surprised if TT matches.

Beard’s a really good coach. IU would be lucky to hire him. You guys should really stop relying on a couple tournament games to evaluate a coach. 

[IU Scott 2,375]

I have watched a lot of TT games the last few years and never really like his offense.  What I do like is that his team plays hard and doesn't ever give up.  They are tenacious on defense and causes a lot of turnovers.

Is the 18-17 conference record over the last two years a better sample size? I like Beard's energy, but I don't see a successful offensive identity and the defense has dropped off. He is definitely better than Woodson/Fife/Alford, but I think there are other calls to make.

[Feathery 4,005]

I’d take Beard. His offense does struggle at times. He is on the list but his style doesn’t fit what Dolson said he is looking for in an attractive style.

I like offense and his team knows how to bank in three's....lol

Peep his kenpom numbers. Offense has been an issue. With that said, I wouldn’t be mad if he came. Solid candidate. 

[IU Scott 2,375]

Watching a lot of college games I have to wonder where these offensive coaches that Dolson is looking for.  I see most offenses in the country looking exactly the same and they are not good.  It is all  guys standing around waiting for someone to beat their man off the dribble.

[Golfman25 5,017]

If you want him, better not let him leave Indiana tonight.  

[Trish 11,505]

I think you offer him $6 million starting out.
