The last 2 searches I would've been ecstatic over Stevens. Not so much this time.

Dusty May be the coach. There is certainly a Buzz.

Sounds like a Pearl of wisdom. Now we're even Steven/s.

I’ll say this- Grant McCasland’s record as a basketball coach suggests that he’s a winner. Same as Josh Schertz. I know few of us want IU to take a flyer on a guy who hasn’t won much against the big boys but…if none of the home run guys are interested I’d hope we try for one of those guys.

With his coaching background, and his experience handling multi-million dollar contracts and free agents with the Celtics, the NIL experience would be something "easy" for him at IU.

The problem with McCasland, born in Irving, Texas....his wife same thing.  Played in Texas at Baylor, then you look at all his coaching stops: Texas Tech (Director of Ops), Midland College, TX; Baylor Assistant, North Texas, and now Texas Tech. 

I don't know about you, but it sounds like he is a Texas guy and the same thing goes for his wife.
