He should be the boss, but he has not been that on the bball side yet.

Indeed. Buckner neutered him with regard to the basketball hire.

I don't care if Stevens laughs and hangs up, he's always the 1st call imo. May #2. Mccollum #3. Not sure I can get excited beyond that point. Ya, I know, I need to be prepared for disappointment. I get it.

Yeah, prepare to be turned down, but you have to make the call. We could get turned down by #1 and #2... but you still have to call.

[AZ Hoosier 7,946]

Curious about Will Wade. I know he has some baggage between LSU and McNeese State... but what's the consensus here? He seems to be a winner... and his transgressions do not appear to be in the same vein as those of the bearded one who shall not be named... 

Are his transgressions enough to disqualify him?

Obviously I don't know if it's true.. just a theory.. but if Kathy is some sort of insider and she hinted at it in a response post.. it just makes me wonder if there's any validity..

Kathy may be an insider but she is nothing more than an IU board apologist.

Yes and RE #3 it will be interesting what his market is. That podcast linked earlier suggested he’d be a “perfect fit” at Virginia, then you have schools like Florida State and Miami coming open… and some seem to think he’s holding out for Iowa, which I personally don’t see other than him being from there and Drake being there. Not saying he is perfect but once you’re past the two home run swings, I think McCollum is worth taking the “risk” of a “relative” unknown. On paper, his pros seriously outweigh the cons and style is very enjoyable to watch. I’d be quite pleased to hire him… but he will likely have plenty of options too. Not sure who is on the “realistic” list and a clearly better option, though some probably exist I guess

I saw somewhere that the students plan to boycott the next home game against Maryland, so I guess we’ll see if that ends up happening or not. 

Wow!!! Can you find that and post it? That would be the final straw if that entire section was empty

Will Wade deserves a look. His teams win and the shady recruiting tactics he was doing are legal now

I don’t know much about Jerrod Calhoun, but he’s only 43, very experienced as a head coach, and he won consistently at Youngstown State, which is absolutely no small feat.

@Uspshoosier and @johnsoniu… care to weigh in on him?

Good coach, had some fun teams to watch at Youngstown. Great first year at Utah St, but they weren’t devoid of talent even tho they lost Osober.  
I’d need to see a lot more from him before turning the keys over to him. But I’d take him over Will Wade :)

Though this would no doubt be very powerful imagery/symbolically, sadly, I have very little trust in the ability of undergrads to organize anything on a semi-large scale lol. Kudos to whatever true fan students are leading the charge though.

I saw someone say on the Inside The Hall website board comments “there’s a student boycott coming for the Maryland home game…just FYI”.

We all know what needs to happen. Why are we delaying the inevitable?

Has anybody done the old school website that was around at the time but do firemikewoodson.com?

Extremely strong first post.

There are wine and cigars to still enjoy. Quinn is going to let him milk this til the end.

….as well as several season ticket holders too. 

[cbp4iu 1,670]

No way Wade, McCollum or Beard turns it down right?

[cbp4iu 1,670]

Also let it be known that Beard is not someone I would have wanted with his history but at this point. Phunk it I would take winning over seeing the last 8 years

That is the best thing fans can do. It’s better than booing/chanting/name calling. Express your disgust by not showing up

I hope that's true. Nobody should support the king anymore
