Don't get why anyone would want Few.  He's old, has no ties to the Midwest, has never won anything outside of a mid major and frequently gets upset in the tourney.

They’ve made the Sweet Sixteen EVERY SINGLE YEAR since 2015. An absolutely ignorant statement.

Give it a listen. The Elf has chimed in.

I look at it as 1.5 million to 10 million. Also his love of coaching coming back. But I might be a IU homer.

I hope you are right; and like you said, it looked good last time as well.  Just not going to get my hopes up like last time.  (Who am I kidding; my Brad Stevens hype is already through the roof)

He’s not number 1 on my list but Few has consistently played a tough non conference schedule and usually fairs pretty well outside of this year. With NIL coming into play he needs to move on ASAP. He’s also been to the title game.

I wouldn’t take Cronin or Few over Pearl and May.
I also like Beard better than Cronin and Few. 

and even though I don’t truly believe we have a chance with Stevens,  I’m not sure he’s the best candidate now that he’s been out of college coaching. 
 

Pearl

May/Beard

Stevens

Good coach.  I would look elsewhere.

Meanwhile, the Celtics are on TNT and down 18 at home vs the Mavs minus Luka.  They must have been informed and are depressed.

Everyone has a price Chris.

WTF do you call this?  A "retirement?" LOL.  Go pee down someone else's leg.  

I literally said there was going to be an announcement that Mike Woodson would be stepping down at the conclusion of the season amidst all the rumors after the Illinois game that he was getting fired and not finishing the season. That’s exactly what is happening.

Girls game is over where is the additional info :)

He wouldn’t be my first choice either. Mainly because of age. But the Zags getting upset in the tourney thing just isn’t real at all. They are probably the most consistent tournament performers since Izzo in his heyday. They just never got over that final hump. I’ll see myself out.

Boston Celtics are up for sale, their window to win has been the current and past two years, their “dynasty” will likely end here in the next 2 years with all those contracts coming to a head. 
 

Brad is a Hoosier, you don’t just quit coaching basketball at a young age. He misses it. It’s time to come home.

Few has 41 wins in the tournament, good for 5th of all current coaches. The current IU players were children when this take was valid.

I had this exact interaction with someone on here during the post-Crean hiring cycle, minus the age part. It was dumb then, too.

I have a hard time getting excited for a coach in their 60's. But whatever we get will be better than Woodson. 

My dog is better than Woodson!

New ownership also. Might not have the same bond with the new guys.

I'll stick my neck out and say Chris and Jerry know this, they're itching to tell us but obviously can't...

Woodson is thinking if the fans know he is considering retiring then they won’t boo him out of the gym.  Then all he has to do is finish strong and save his job.

Do you really think that he's capable of putting that whole thought together all by himself? I honestly don't. IMO, he still thinks that he's doing his job and this whole "retirement" thing is him being railroaded.
