Not a lot of quality coaches are going to want to be sloppy seconds to that guy who isn't coaching anymore. 

Can you imagine the call: 

Hey _____ (fill in your guy), how would you like to coach IU.  

I heard you were going with Stevens.

No, the media lies.  You were our "first" choice all along.  We love you. 

If I was your first choice, why did it take so long to call?  

Phones were down in B-town.   Small town and all -- you know technology isn't all it's cracked up to be. 

Call me when you get your chit together.  Click.  

 

“Hey we want to give you a $2 million raise and make you the next IU basketball coach.”

”Ew, no, yucky. You guys flirted with Brad Stevens first.”

Cmon. We’re not talking about the high school prom. “Sloppy seconds” isn’t a thing.

It is to successful coaches and their big egos.  So who was going to come with that $2mil raise.  I’m talking about guys who you would “accept.”

Yeah, the thought that coaches turn down higher paying gigs because someone else was offered first is ridiculous.  .

Being the "2nd most productive" means literally nothing when the team is bad. He was bad. Period.

Nothing is that black and white.  Teams aren’t separated into tiers of ‘good’ and ‘bad’.

The Quad system does literally just that.

So name names.  Show me one high level coach who took a job another high level coach turned down.  
 

You guys think it’s all about money.  Like we can just pay someone great.  For the great ones it’s about more than money.

I Mick Cronin wasn't exactly some slouch at Cincinnati before going to UCLA.

While the quad system certainly had its flaws (I’m not a fan of it), even it doesn’t attempt to split teams into just two buckets.

2, no. 4, yes. Good, decent, bad, really bad.

Not really.    It sorts wins and losses into 4 groups but not really teams.   Team with 76 NET by your definition can be a decent team or a bad team depending on where the game was played.   Quads don’t determine which teams are good or bad it just sorts the wins and losses into 4 categories.

There isn't a Q3 or Q4 team that could be considered good.

Edit: home or away. By either category. Those are bad teams.

By fans probably but not the committee     Any road win against the top 3 quads will be considered a good win doesn’t really matter if people think they are a good team or not.     You are oversimplifying things which is fine for fans to do but there isn’t some sort of imaginary cut line that says which team is good and bad.

Because every single year, without exception the entirety of college basketball wins at a .500 rate. So it’s pretty unlikely that there are “good” and “bad” years.

You talking about 10-11 UCLA?  :)  This place would be beside itself.  

 

Not a bad choice, but he was still a non-power 5 coach at a small school.  Not really a "big name" but a guy with something to prove at the next level.

Depends... Just D1 teams.... Not ally more wins and losses because many schools play D2 schools.

What person on the committee tries to justify Q4 is anything more than bad?

I specifically mentioned top 3 Quads when i talked about road wins.  You said Q3 and Q4.   Changing it to just Q4 now?
