I was told that in the past, but I think he changed his mind recently. I think IU was just checking their boxes with him yesterday but I think he really wanted it. IU - Kaulie and IUc2016 2

Hoosierfan222 Posted March 24, 2021 Posted March 24, 2021 Is that a second interview, Chris? I know he said he had a call last night?

HoosierTrav Posted March 24, 2021 Posted March 24, 2021 I’m open minded to Calbert too. The more time I have to gather my emotions, I realize that if we are gonna be a struggling program, I’d at least be able to root for the Indiana guys who gave a **** enough to try and get the ship righted.

ALASKA HOOSIER Posted March 25, 2021 Posted March 25, 2021 my only hang-up with CC as our coach is that i would be super-protective of him. Any smack talk would piss me off since he has this GOAT, as a player image in my mind. Does that make any sense? I just dont want to lose that image. He is the GOAT at Indiana and i want it to stay that way.
IUc2016 Posted March 25, 2021 Author Posted March 25, 2021 So was there actually a second interview yesterday?
IUc2016 Posted March 25, 2021 Author Posted March 25, 2021 @Chris007 if Calbert is the guy, is it safe to say your "inside knowledge" will be much easier to come by?

Yes I would hope so. Let's wait and see what happens. Would be scared since he has really never recruited. I couple of years at St. Louis and never been a head coach. He just recently moved to on the bench for the Pacers. IUc2016 1

I know you just said “let’s wait and see”, but through your close friendship, any idea on who/what he would like in a staff?

If Calbert, then pay Beilein whatever it takes to be his top assistant, and to be the equivalent of Martelli for Howard at Mich
Trish Posted March 25, 2021 Posted March 25, 2021 I might be able to get behind a Calbert hire. Someone talk me into it. IUc2016 1

Have you ever had discussions in the past about him becoming a D1 HC? Not necessarily at IU, just in general.

No idea. I know he and Kenny Johnson were close when he was here but I don't think he would bring him in.
TadQueasy Posted March 25, 2021 Posted March 25, 2021 I love Calbert, he is one of my all time favorite players. I just worry about his lack of experience coaching and the possibilty of things going bad for him and hurting his legacy at IU. Too good of a guy and player for that to happen. But I would still take him over Woodson! IUc2016, Chris007 and ALASKA HOOSIER 3
