I do wonder if Brad falls through if Dolson doesn’t make a hard push for Drew.  Would seem to be the obvious #2.  Goodman is tight with him and seems to think he’d be interested.  I get that he seems to love Waco but he’s a Butler grad and has deep ties to Indiana.  Lived in the state for over 25 years I think.  He seems to have peaked at Baylor as well and maybe wants a new challenge.  I can’t imagine that their NIL is much.

I would say I’ve heard his name and a few like him.

Dusty’s advanced numbers are so much better than Archie’s ever were. If you consistently put out teams with top 20 defense and offense you’ll win one eventually. Archie never had anything close to that

Currently 36 in defensive efficiency and 43 in offensive efficiency. As the competition has increased, the numbers aren’t as strong

I thinks we can all feel better that this time around, the quality and list of candidates are much better than that have been for a quite some time…. Would you agree Chris?

I would agree.

I feel bad for Leal. He has talent. His last 2 coaches were Archie and Woodson. So sad. 
 

Beard turns us into a national contender in 12 months if we can handle the extra risk 

Please Dusty may I’m praying you have a good tourney in March 

Beard will never be the coach of IU.  Never.  People need to stop.

It is kind of crazy to me that Steve Alford was never the choice in the last 25 years

With different timing he would have been. Looking at his time at ucla he wouldn’t have been worse than Crean. He also wouldn’t have been good enough to win big consistently.

True; but the biggest challenge for McCollum would not be on court coaching, or recruiting; it would be managing and being the face of a massive, high profile operation. He has zero experience with that. And a year at Drake with many of his carried-in players is very different.

So what do we have to give up to get Stevens?

[Stuhoo 82,496]

By the way—Jerrod Calhoun is younger, gives you all the unusual overperfomance winning (holy crap-he turned around Youngstown State), plays a modern offense style, and is also from the Midwest. And he played D1 ball and has had tons of mentoring and coaching in D1, including at the P5 level.

Why people get fired up about McCollum and not Calhoun is beyond me.

If we’re talking about Mountain West coaches, what about Little Pitino who just rolled Calhoun in his own gym last night? New Mexico on fire this year and made the tournament last year.

I think he would have a hard time convincing 4 and 5 star players to play in his system as it stands.

Speaking of "few"...

I saw his name mention related to UNC and that possible opening... is Few really in play? For a while now, he's been pretty much happy at Gonzaga... and he's in his early 60s... curious...

One game doesn’t make or break a coach, but that’s a hell of a good point!

Rick Pitino Jr. has done doing extremely well at New Mexico in a solid conference, he’s been mentored by the best, and he took his lumps and learned at Minnesota in the B1G (and had three 20 win seasons there). 

I have no reason to believe he’s being considered, but I’d get behind him in a heartbeat, and more so than McCollum.
