Awful lonely here on the Moser train.   I’m cool being solo.   More I’ve researched and listened to him in interviews I think he would do a good job.    Record isn’t impressive, oversell resume doesn’t stick out but something about him has gotten me excited to see what he could do at IU.   I got a good feeling about what he could accomplish at IU if he was to be the coach. 

You are not solo. But if we’re gonna be Butch and Sundance, you gotta be the one doing the thinking.

If our Hoosiers hire Moser, does Damezi transfer back?

[WayneFleekHoosier]

Please, no.

If Creighton opens up probably won’t have to worry about Moser to IU

I wondered about this too. Mostly because I thought if he doesn't go to IU not sure where he would go. Might be stuck at Loyola for another year as he seems like he will be pretty picky with his next gig (rightfully so)

[WayneFleekHoosier]

Please yes 

You honestly think he would have success in the B1G? With recruiting being what it is? He’d get eaten alive in the swamp.

Strong Chicago ties.   With his recent success might be easier to recruit players that would not go to Loyola but probably would to play in the B1G.   I honestly think he is a good coach.   As far as having success in the B1G who knows how any coach will be until they get here

Question then becomes if he went to Creighton would IU look at McDermott?

I would

[Hoosierfan2017]

Really need another school to ****** him up so we can't make this mistake. I would be very disappointed by hiring Moser.

I don't see it. That would be a tough sell so quickly. MAYBE if it were a few years removed from the incident but what do I know

I’d really like them to, but can’t see it after the plantation thing. (Although I think that was an unfortunate mistake and not some deep-seeded racism thing)

You aren't alone at all.  

Guys who are dead set against him aren't watching how he beats people.   He just punished Illinois and his team put on a clinic doing it with inferior athletes.    He is doing this with an entirely new group than went to the Final Four; but somehow he wouldn't succeed here?   He does everything Brad Stevens does.    I think he'd be terrific.   He's a basketball coach.  Not just a recruiter.

He actually went to Boston and talked with Stevens on how to maintain success after the first final 4 run.   I’m sure it’s online somewhere where he talked about it.  With any new coach no one will know for sure if they will ultimately succeed but I have no problem with him trying here at IU

He learned some lessons that allowed him to get better.
