Wouldn’t Shaka Smart meet all the criteria?

I like Shaka, but IU may be too high stress for him.  He didn't seem to be comfortable at Texas.  I think Chris Collins would kill it with our resources.

Saw this on another IU forum. UK with Calipari vs. IU. Will UK fans be called toxic for wanting Calipari fired? 

UK tourney appearances: 12 IU: 6
UK Sweet 16s: 8 IU: 3
UK Elite 8's: 7 IU: 0
UK Final Fours: 4 IU: 0
UK Runner-ups: 1 IU: 0
UK Titles: 1 IU: 0

I just can’t imagine what social media will be like if IU is having a bad year and Dusty beats us his first try.

If Miller and Woodson were the only ones interviewed in our last 2 searches, yikes. I know Woodson was hired because his buddy Quinn made sure of it.

Won't matter. IU doesn't want the black eye of firing a program legend, no matter how deserved it is, they care way too much about optics.

Ironically it’s a black eye to keep him. They actually have their logic backwards.

He's only had 3 years and played here over 40 years ago, they'll look like a bunch of meanies.

I asked my high school AD if he would hire me as head coach since I played basketball there over 15 years ago. I said since I played there and my mom coached AAU basketball for decades, I’m qualified. He laughed and said where would that make you qualified. I said “how much time you got”. If only I played at IU, damn.

Why not a young Shaka Smart?

 375-171 record and now 10-10 in NCAA, Final 4 with VCU and is still in his 40’s.  Emotional, good X’s and O’s and his teams are always good shooters and love to turn teams over with speed!

He is underrated in my opinion, I know Texas didn’t work out but has demonstrated excellence at basketball first schools.

In the saddest way possible, it'll probably be a non-event. We're all "over" it already and we know what to expect. Choices are being made to ride the Mike Woodson submarine to the bottom of the ocean. Foolish.

I wouldn’t be upset with Shaka.

Hey everyone,

Lay off Woody today. It’s his birthday! LOL

 

 

 

Happy Birthday, please retire.

Who here would want Calipari if he became available?

Calipari might be as bad with the Xs and Os and Woody. He's just a much better recruiter...

Better than Woody no doubt, but he’s getting pretty old.

I'd take an almost guaranteed top 10 team every year.

Better yet, if Dusty wins will Mike Woodson even be on the floor to shake his hand?

Interesting option here. Hopefully it’s a better option than the last guy we got from Marquette.

Exactly and then replace him with a former manager. It would be “disrespectful” in some eyes. Won’t happen for a program with their nose in the air to everyone else.
