Not for nothing, but Anthony Leal would be a freaking superstar playing for Porter Moser.

And Braden Smith.

I would love to see what Mark Few could do in a real conference.

  His worst season ever:    23-11........just WOW

[Hoosierfan2017 19,915]

No mid-major coaches. No assistant coaches. Here’s a list. I tried to avoid any home runs that are basically impossible gets (Bennett/Wright, for example).

Scott Drew

Eric Musselman

Chris Beard

Nate Oats

Chris Mack

Thad Matta

John Beilein

Seven coaches. None of them are impossible gets. Some would be tougher than others, but all are in the realm of possibility. Open up the check book and land one of them. If we can’t do that then we’re in big trouble and it won’t really matter who we get.

Give it up Treesh.
Do you really think waiting one year, five years, or 25 years will all of the sudden make Brad Stevens or Billy Donovan want to coach at IU? If you do, tell me what will be different next March.
We need a coach...now.

Yes and one more year of archie would have been a disaster for indiana basketball.

To me you go all out on our dream coaches then go down a tier:

Tier 1: Brad Stevens, Billy Donovan, Jay Wright, Tony Bennett, Mark Few, Bill Self

Tier 2: Chris Beard, Nate Oates, Scott Drew, Eric Musselman, Mike White, Andy Enfield, Mick Cronin, Mike Boynton, Porter Moser, Chris Mack 

Tier 3: Thad Matta, John Beilein, Rick Pitino, Steve Alford, Steve Lavin, Mark Pope, Dane Fife, Calbert Cheaney, Scott Skikes, Mike Woodson

I like this list but feel like Matta's a proven 2 and is still young. His track record is very strong. Do you think Self could get away with the same crap he does at Kansas in Bloomington? The wind blows wrong and we're in trouble. His kids show up in Lambo/Ferrari/whatever luxury sportscar it was and nada.

For me, take away Chris Mack and replace with Mike White from Florida

He was my #1 when we hired Crean. Man, I would have loved to see that.

Could’ve fired Archie after the third game and name an interim. 
 

Research and back channel for an entire season. Boom! Maybe Scott did that this time but some coaches would probably not like that with a head coach already in place..

I think one of those names is legit possible. The others? Not so much.

I agree with you.....I think hiring Matta makes sense, but was just trying to take the "feel of this room".  No one has a better winning percentage than Matta (.740) except for Mark Few (.834), hell even Pitino is only (.702), Musselman (.705), Tony Bennett (.728), Chris Beard (.711), Matt Painter as a companion is (.661)

I am not sure what he did or had done but will wait till a decision is made before I start complaining. Hopefully dolson has a good coach in mind but we don't know what is really going on so we have to wait

I think John is the most realistic from that list. I think he could be our next coach. Although I’m hearing he’s been having some health issues or memory issues? 
 

Could explain the erratic decision of leaving Michigan and having a meltdown with the Cavs. I don’t know. Scott will have to see how his health is in multiple interviews. 

[Choopy 676]

Give me Porter Moser

Why 2025...he's only 53?  Look at his Wikipedia and tell me he isn't a winner.  His winning percentage is .740 and that includes his last 2 years where he could barely stand or walk. 

Rumor is he is healthy now after his last back surgery. I will take a coach with Indiana ties with a .740 winning % all day long!

His health would be his biggest question mark. Otherwise, he produced great results at several stops and lord knows he recruited Indiana strong! 

[P92 120]

Shoot, maybe we should hire this Loyola guy...or maybe just recruit that 100+ year old nun of theirs to come and pray for us.

[EvilleWays1973 6]

Porter Moser

[iu-dl 1,418]

I’m willing to take my lumps for introducing this but Robbie Hummel knows basketball. No experience and wrong side of the fence, I know, but he gets the game. 

[Trish 11,414]

I could be talked into another mid major guy..

[Bowhunter 2,667]

Porter looks solid. I wouldn’t be upset if we ended up with him
