At this point i would take Alford.  At least he knows the college game and has proven he can get teams to tourney.

They'd have a choice to fire or extend considering how close the end of his contract would be. No reason to think IU would suddenly get a clue and make the right decision.
And with Woods's ego he wouldn't retire.

100% correct hs will not retire and they won't fire him if he makes the tourney. We could bs stuck with him another four or five years.

I would remove Tony Bennett and Bruce Pearl from the list for next year. Probably even Scott Drew just because it sounds like Louisville made him a generous offer and he said no if Dusty gets the job.

No way IU goes after Will Wade even though everything he did is legal now. 

Just not sure what are choices are. 

Considering the past of the coach and the school, I cannot believe Louisville is not looking at Wade. 

Everything's legal now -- more or less -- but both have histories of skirting the rules. I think that'd be a perfect match.

It sure would be entertaining wouldn't it?

I can't agree more. It must be their new AD

Since it’s basically an open secret that Dusty’s close to going to UL, why couldn’t Scotty just swoop in and match their offer? Let’s quit goofin’ around.

And I guarantee you Woodson had way more talent than any of those other teams.  Tells you how bad of a coach he is

He probably has till Friday around 3 pm or maybe better Sunday till whenever they might play UCONN. Time is a ticking

As depressing as it is to miss on Dusty, it's even more depressing that Woodson will be coaching us. I could stand losing Dusty if we had hope in another candidate.

Absolutely not. I'm not the least bit interested in bringing Alford here. Just no.

So let’s fast forward. Assuming May takes a new gig and wouldn’t want to leave after a year at a big program. Who is on your list in 12 months? Any guys that continue to build their resume? I’ll give my list. 2 tiers

Tier 1(make it a point not to get past this list) no particular order

Bruce Pearl, TJ Otzelberger, Shaka Smart, Tony Bennett, Scott Drew

Tier 2 - this group would need to prove themselves again next year with consistency, but could make the discussion 

Micah Shrewsberry, Josh Schertz, and a wild card for me is Will Wade. Don’t think IU would ever touch him but same stuff Sean Miller and Self were involved in. And he’s still very young at 41. He’s going to get another chance somewhere. 

I'm not really sure how anyone watches UVA last night and thinks "yup, that's what I want to watch for the foreseeable future".

Other than that, good list.

Please god no….no no no no no no….

Keep Woodson instead. 

Alford is a way better coach and basketball program manager than Woodson, I’ll take him any day over Woodson

Because we still have "the hump".

Why?  If we only had choice between Alford and Woodson then who would you pick?  That maybe where we are at when we finally get rid of mediocre Mike

What is the overall feeling on why several do not want Alford.  What has he done or not done to make him not desirable?  Serious question since we have been horrible the past several years with other coaches.

We could do worse.  The main thing I think you would want with Alford is a defensive specialist as an assistant.  Assume Neal Craig comes with him and then you would want a recruiter.

And I also would not be surprised to see something like that.  The chances that this program is a smoldering pile of ash next year aren't low.

Agreed.

You know we've just about hit rock bottom as fans when we are trying to do the mental gymnastics necessary to convince ourselves "Alford" isn't that bad.
