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. 

Why remove Pearl for next year? There are rumors our people chatted with his people this year.

This is true. I don’t detest it much, I just wish we were good at it.  

Should have been doing it sooner I guess.Hell, everyone else was and left us in the dust.We respected the NCAA and thought they were an honest institution while all along they were money grubbing toothless whores who refused to punish their cash cows.

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.  

For starters, In 8 years at Iowa, Alford finished higher than 4th in the B10 once and made the NCAA 3 times, winning one NCAA tourney game.

Alford makes McCaffrey look like Knight.

For me, there are several things. First was the Pierre Pierce thing. Still can't believe that, and he only apologized to get the UCLA job.

He was pretty good at Manchester College, and good enough at SW Missouri State to get the Iowa gig. But his record since then has been a series of ups and downs.

He does recruit better than Woodson, but so do you and I.

The Pierre Pierce piece is the thing for me if you take out that piece or had it not happened I would say yes to him but that piece irks me.

That's just an excuse by the decision makers to keep Woodson.  They know that unicorn doesn't exist.  
(Never mind. Chris already made this comment.)

100% they would probably like to keep Woodson as long as they can.

All we need is a young man and a ball.  They grow on trees.

So who's he "begged to stay" exactly? What players told you that? Your gaslighting actually cracks me up.

Paying Leal $300K is pretty much begging.

I think he means we offered them far more money than any other school would have.

I keep thinking about IU telling the NIT that we wouldn't be interested in an invite.  This is really concerning to me.  I heard Calipari on the radio today. He was asked about if the players were playing for their NIL.  He gave an answer, which could be coach speak, about his team enjoys playing with one another and they want to keep the season going as long as possible.  Evidently, that wasn't the case with IU's players or the coaching staff.  Under Knight, our goals were to win a Big Ten Title, and if invited win an NCAA title or NIT title.  Under Woodson and Dolson, our program is such a mess that we wanted the season to end.  The program is being mismanaged.

The program has been mismanaged for around 25 years.

Just because at this point we’ve been in contact several times and never offered him the job. Why bother anymore. I mean we can always ask.

Three left. The others are all staying. We offered enough that they didn’t want to check out other schools. That’s just not lighting gas either.

Agreed. Mike Davis had a better Big Ten record than Steve.

Sure, they'd crawl here.....isn't that right, Archie. You've had 23 years of good coaches crawling, and none have reached Bloomington. Oh wait, I see Billy Donovan's plane just flew over. brb

That doesn't sound like they're even serious about a home run hire, because several times would mean he didn't say not interested. At least try to get a sure fire winner.

Alford is a human cancer, POS human

Well you would have to wait till he was done with the tournament and he’s not a guarantee.
