NVFalcons1990 Posted March 21, 2021 Posted March 21, 2021 I would love to see what Mark Few could do in a real conference. His worst season ever: 23-11........just WOW WayneFleekHoosier and JaybobHoosier 2 Quote
Hoosierfan2017 Posted March 21, 2021 Posted March 21, 2021 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. IU Scott, Hippopotamo, HoosierKnight and 3 others 6 Quote
coonhounds Posted March 21, 2021 Posted March 21, 2021 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. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk taco corp, 323SGrant, pumpfake and 3 others 6 Quote

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. Quote

Maybe Scott did that this time but some coaches would probably not like that with a head coach already in place.. Quote

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) jonz44 1 Quote

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. Quote

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! Alford Bailey, kottke and NVFalcons1990 3 Quote
P92 Posted March 21, 2021 Posted March 21, 2021 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. Quote
darB s'tI Posted March 21, 2021 Posted March 21, 2021 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. Quote
Trish Posted March 21, 2021 Posted March 21, 2021 I could be talked into another mid major guy.. Quote

I have two UF grad sons and watch them fairly often. He recruits well, but his offense is dribble a hole in the floor and chuck up a bad look 3. He is middle of the road in a conference that tends to be very top heavy Edited March 21, 2021 by iu eyedoc IU Scott, bobbyhull, Hippopotamo and 1 other 4 Quote
