If you want to defend the actions of the kids Sampson recruited, by all means you're free to do so. Zero interest in seeing that caliber of character in Bloomington ever again. 

 

We also won’t ever have a coach close to Sampson’s caliber with IU’s holier than thou attitude.

No, I don't really care. But if we were looking at coaching candidates, and there were a big time winner who also happened to throw stuff in fits of rage, people here would be up in arms and prepared to burn their IU gear if IU even gave him an interview. Just pointing out the obvious hypocrisy.

If Will Wade won 25 games his first year here, not one single person would give a sh*t that Will Wade made a strong-@$$ offer 7 years ago on an FBI wiretap. And why would they? It's completely irrelevant in today's game. If our program isn't making strong-@$$ offers to recruits and transfers they aren't fit for the job.

Powerless in todays world.

Will Wade would absolutely kill it at IU in this climate. Thick-skinned, doesn't give a s*** what people think, flat-out winner. But yeah let's hire Brad Brownell because he's a pro's pro whose never won anything. If Brad Brownell was from across the river in Henderson KY instead of Evansville he'd be an after thought.

Will Wade's teams have finished in the top 25 exactly ONCE.  

Wait, what?!!? Willie Strong-@$$ has also NEVER WON ANYTHING?

Well, now AH has no choice but to apologize and change his tune.

Is that what you want? A guy who doesn’t care what people think?

Great way to ingratiate yourself with the high school coaches who you are recruiting from. IIRC, that was one of the reasons Crean lost his luster… he thought he was the smartest guy in every room.

Stevens or bust.

If Wade is hired the Hoosier in Uspshoosier will definitely come off on this forum.  It would be very hard for me to continue be invested in the program if he was ever hired 

That's how I feel about Coach Facial Hair. I would not be a IU basketball fan if he was hired. Luckily, I don't have to worry about that since it won't happen.

Will Wade has won 3 conference titles at 3 different schools and taken 3 different schools to the tournament. He's also 42.

Bud Mackey was and he was convicted of trafficking crack-cocaine...WHILE IN HIGH SCHOOL.

Eli Holman was and he missed his junior season for punching out a referee mid game and then most of his senior season after getting shot in the head at a gang affiliated party.

Sampson was here less than 24 months. 

A lot of kids on that team came from rough areas, and had rough upbringings...being a student athlete wasn't something they cared much about. All they wanted to do was hoop...and party. Kids were talented, but not the culture or atmosphere I wan't any future coach to build at Indiana. Even if it comes with winning...

But a minor detail to above - he wasn't shot in the head. He was shot in the upper back / shoulder. Per police, it was a case of mistaken identify, as the car he was in was shot at when they pulled up to a teenage girls birthday party at a hotel.

Brad Brownell has won 3 conference titles at 2 different schools and has taken 3 different schools to the tournament, including an Elite 8 and Sweet Sixteen. Unlike Wade, Brownell's teams have been ranked in the Top 20.

• Cons of Brownell: Quite a bit older.
• Cons of Wade: Show cause and known as one of the most corrupt coaches in NCAA history.

Nope. That's the Wizard of Broad Ripple...

None of those guys except for Brownell (who isn't better than Wade by a long shot) or Beard (who IU won't hire) are leaving their current jobs to come to IU. And why would they?

In my opinion, the three best coaches who would actually take the IU job if offered are (in this order): Beard, Wade, Mack

Do you even like IU? Honestly, most of your time is spent calling the fans delusional, reiterating that good coaches won’t leave jobs for IU, shilling for a bad coach (until recently), and putting forth candidates that shouldn’t be on the IU radar. 

IU would be dragged in the media for hiring Wade and we would deserve it. Do you want that? 

We don’t need someone to be the intellectual authority on what IU can do or what constitutes a “realistic” candidate in your view.  Everyone here knows Stevens is a long shot, but until it’s a NO, I see no harm in people on a forum having hope/fun with it. No one needs someone to come in and laugh and act like we are dumb for thinking it. If I wanted to be made fun of for have high hopes I’d find a Purdue board to post in. 
 

If being a wet blanket on fellow IU fans makes you happy I guess do you, but it makes no sense to anyone.

Brad Brownell hasn't won a conference title in almost 20 years. Are we seriously doing this? 

Brad Brownell has had one fluke tournament run in 15 years at a school with literally zero basketball expectations who would have been fired 3 or 4 times over by now if he coached anywhere that gave a damn.

The fact that we're talking about Brad Brownell just to spite Will Wade is flat out ludicrous.
