Here is the twist that IU fans will get.

1.  IU fires Woodson.

2.  IU hires May.

 

 

 

 

 

 

3.  But it's not Dusty, it's Scott.

DOH GOD

Never a good thing when your custodial staff is better than any potential candidate you could hope to hire.

Yet you have quite literally zero knowledge of what candidate IU could hope to hire, amirite?

For instance, they'd have a helluva chance of hiring Brownell, Devries, McCasland, or Micah. Any of them would give the program a much higher ceiling than Woodson and without the odious smugness of Wade.

Long enough.

-42 years old

-.700 career winning %

-Won regular season championships in three different conferences

-Taken three different schools to the NCAAT

Evidently not long enough to have fun with a running joke on BTB.   Yep Wade would probably kill it here and when he was at VCU in the college basketball thread I probably pointed out how much at the time I liked him and keep an eye on him.   Ran good stuff and won some games because of his coaching.   And then he went to LSU and his personality changed and he got cockier and got caught on tape offering big a.. offers.  Became a total slime ball and from that point on I hope he loses every single game and when he does lose he has a nice Crean Gif waiting for him

1. At least now you're not justifying Wade by saying he's better than what you said were the people's choices, Schertz and McMillan. So that's good.
2. Wade is a complete untrustworthy scumbag. So yes, Brownell, while not my first choice, is a pro's pro of a college coach, a good, serious guy, and is therefore an infinitely better choice than Will freaking Wade.

1. My comment was in reference to the potential pool of candidates once May and Stevens inevitably say no. Pearl, Drew, Wright, Donovan, McDermott, Buzz pick any other delusional candidate that isn't coming to IU. Will Wade is better than any realistic candidate that IU is likely going to hire.

2. We're looking for the next basketball coach, not your future son in-law

Hey guys, this is what Scott gets paid to do.  I suggest we let him do it!  *** the Boilers!

None of those guys are better basketball coaches than Will Wade lol.

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 

Why?

If we are looking at coaches who have broken the rules and were sanctioned, can we just bring back Sampson?

(to save people from jumping on this...I know that won't happen)

I'll just say this.  Any coach who has been accused/guilty of breaking NCAA rules (especially under the table payments) should now get a pass for that transgression -- as there are no longer any NCAA rules.  Other legal and/or women issues, not so much -- don't need the headaches.

Coach incorporates more than just win/loss record, although that's a major component.

If you really think that Will Wade is a better choice to lead this program than McCasland, Devries, Brownell, or Micah? You are absolutely entitled to that opinion but I couldn't disagree more.

A look at this season considering the NIL

[monskisprodigy]

I have seen his name a couple times, and commented a billion pages back on this. But Chris Mack would worry me...He flamed out very quickly at Louisville, and I  wouldn't want him in the top 5 names that we would run down.

I could be wrong, and only time would tell, but I think that would be a disaster hire.

If we had gotten  Luke Brown  we wouldn't be in this mess. 

[Home Jersey]

So during this week without any games leading up to Purdue, we've added I think over 100 pages to this thread and 4 in the game thread, lol. Program is doing great.

He won damn near 70% of his games there including the SEC championship and finished 2nd and 3rd as well. All in a 5 year span. We're talking about LSU.

Wow, that's great.  Wonder how with all that coaching accumon how he ended up at McNeese State.

Would succeed damn near anywhere. And he's 52 years old. 

If we could get Buzz Williams at IU I would be completely satisfied, elated, optimistic, sky-high happy. Yay Buzz!! only downside is that he would be really expensive - would take $7-8 million a year salary and has a $13.4 million buyout.

Would be a  very good day, but he's kinda sorta starting to age out of being a long-term solution.

he is 52 right?  Where you talking abut long-term solution in regards to age?

Not going to change anyone’s opinion I’m sure but big @$$ offers have been going on across CBB and CFB for decades, he was just unfortunate enough to get caught. Not sure why anyone cares about that, it essentially became legal a few years later but to think he was some rogue rule breaker isn’t true

If we're simply talking basketball acumen and potential ceilings at IU, Wade blows every single one of those guys out of the water. Brad Brownell? Seriously?

That's 15 years if it went well.

We might not be in this mess if we made a serious hire 4 years ago instead of seeing the lack if competition for Woodson as a green flag.
