We can come back to this later. 
 

Woodson isn’t leaving till end of year.

Stevens isn’t coming to IU in any fashion. 
 

My guess would be Dusty May or some hungry mid major coach.  I don’t know why we allow ourselves to believe the rumor mill each and every time 

What!!! This is what we do best. Believe and Hope.  Hope is an excellent antidote to the misery of being irrelevant on the national stage yet again.
 

Do not go gentle into that good night, no Dream and Hope!! Dream big for Brad.  We shall prevail good people of Hope. For we are the Hope, Hope Hoosiers !!

10 million 

If that is all it would — 10 million per year — then I would say he is coming to IU.  I don’t think money will be a hangup, just depends on what he wants to do.

Anthony Grant sucked at Alabama, so that’s not really relevant.  That being said, not only would they have made the tournament the COVID year, they probably would have been a #1 seed.  Dayton is a winning, well-established program.  Those who want to compare what a coach accomplished at Dayton to what a coach accomplished at Florida Atlantic, as if those two schools are in the same universe, just doesn’t make sense.

Definitely the team I felt for the most when Covid took the season.    Teams like Dayton do lot get many chances to be 1 seeds and they were definitely tracking to be a 1 seed.  That team was awesome to watch.  Penn St was the other team that got gutted by the shut down.   Lamar Stevens was a couple points away from being programs leader scorer.  What a gut punch 2020 was.   Took away my favorite 2 weeks of basketball.  Still not over missing out on all those games I should of been watching

If money's not an issue

• Brad Stevens (regardless of likelihood)
• TJ Otzelberger (gotta fight the Iowa State loyalty/buyout)
• Drew Scott (hearing that he could be interested in listening)
• Darian DeVries
• Dusty May

If we end up looking for a true "up and comer"

Chris Jans, Jerrod Calhoun, Ben McCollem, and look at Bryce Drew (the AZ connection at Grand Canyon).

I agree with 4 of the 5 and possibly Bryce Drew possibly making the top 5.  Call me ignorant but who the heck is Darian DeVries.  I am being honest, I’ve never heard of him and I’ve never seen him mentioned on this board until you!

I’m 3-1 coaching in my 4th grade league. Can I get a look?

Real wins or moral wins? Woodson is technically 7-4.

Strawman argument.  Nobody said FAU and Dayton are the same.  And now saying that their current coach sucks as a reason they aren’t making tournaments after saying ‘everyone wins there’ is an incredible pretzel bending backtrack.

in their school history, they’ve won their conference regular season title exactly three times….and two of those were Archie.  And from 2014-2017 Dayton won 102 games — more than any four year stretch they ever have had.

Drakes old coach that went to West Virginia.  Really good coach that is close to the top of my list

I didn't say they would be a candidate for here but saying they went from mid major to a power program and succeeded. And hell no with Bobby Hurley 

Just curious but why are you so adamant

Money isn’t the hang up. We’d go above 10 if need be. His wife and daughter would be the hang up I’d imagine….if there is to be one.

Stevens, May, Beard, McCollum, Pearl, Brownell, etc....

Anything has to be better than our current trajectory. I just want to be excited about watching IU basketball again. I want to be proud of the program again. I'm tired of seeing the Iowa States, Auburns and others excel while IU basketball will be fortunate to make the big ten tournament.

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

Actually, Steve Alford was the choice once.  What is kind of crazy is that he wasn't allowed to take the job.

We’ve gone from Brad Stevens or bust today to Richard Pitino Jr. What a ride.

People have been comparing Miller and May here as if they are the same person over and over and over.  Are you sure you know what “strawman argument” means?  And I said Grant sucked “at Alabama,” which is a fact.  He’s done a good job at Dayton.  So have a few other coaches who failed at P5.

I’ve watched probably half of drakes games. Ben’s a good coach. He’d have to change his offense though to win a title at this level. But he’s a smart guy as evidenced by all his wins so hopefully he would do that

What I saw live of him. I really liked dude coached the whole game. On the floor was pretty basketball to me. Seemed like with athletes it would work but it is slow.

About what. I just stating that just because Archie was a failure here doesn't mean every mid major coach will be a failure.

As for Hurley in his 10th year at ASI he is 167-140 and made 3 tournaments. Also he is a lunatic on the sidelines

#2 describes Dusty . That’s why there is a fair amount of skepticism about him being the best candidate 

It’s true that if the ONLY reason you hire a coach is one 3- or 4-game win streak in March, you’re not building a house on a solid foundation.

It’s simply not true that the reason(s) they May is a good candidate are that limited.

How many had Coach Cig on their bingo card to replace Tom Allen?  Next bball coach could be along the same line.  A true grinder who lives and breathes the sport and has a winning record at every stop.  Maybe someone who's only gotten a passing mention on btb among all the names that have been brought up.   IMO Dolson will get this hire right.

@Lebowski did.

Chris007... Where is that $10-$12 million coming from?.. boosters? B1G Conference payout?
