Didn't Cignetti show us not to care about age? 

Yeah, but someone like Self has already had health problems.  Cignetti is like Pete Carroll who seems like a young 72, but you get a coach who is over 65 and overweight and that can change fast.

we all have opinions/preferences. I'm just here to tell you yours is wrong. (joking)

At this time:

The most acceptable: Brad Stevens

The most unwanted: Micah Shrewsberry (sorry Stuhoo)

The most meh: Dennis Gates (an argument could be made for Ben McCollum for this "honor")

But the point of the poll is whether you would approve of the hire. Not if you think he is coming or not. If the stars aligned and they were hired, would you be ok with it or disapprove of it. 

then I'd change my vote...

I'm 100% sold on Ben McCollum. He's coming to my neck of the woods in a couple of weeks. I'll be there to watch his rag tag bunch put the beat down on UE. His first year in D1 and he's first in the Valley with four D2 transfers from his previous team not only on the team but starting. He' basically a point guard whisperer and if he's not coaching in Bloomington he'll be a thorn in our back. Because he'll end up in the Big Ten at Iowa or something. And he'll win multiple championships. His career winning percentage is .815 and his current D1 winning percentage is .916. The guy can flat out coach and coaching matters.

Doesn't everyone put a beat down on UE? LOL I went to SIU vs UE last year, and I am glad someone gave me those tickets.  It was not fun watching that beat down, and I have never seen so many jump passes before in my life.

LOLOLOL! Yes, pretty much. It's a dramatic change from the old days of Coach Crews Rockin' Roberts with the Purple Power Purple Pride.

Shrews has 100% coached himself out of consideration this season. Any credence I gave to Shrews was before ND decidedly slid again this year.

He very well could do well. I was talking about the fan reaction according to the poll above. He has the 2nd highest neutral vote count (1 less than the leader Gates) and his neutral percentage is higher than both yes and no.

I personally voted neutral.

He is joy to watch live. At least for me it was. Watched him more than the floor at ISU. Guy is a just a coach start to finish.

I want to proactively put all my "disapproves" on Pitino. I know it's very unlikely, but if somehow he was hired, I would actively cheer against IUBB. He is a flaming POS.

141 responses so far. I appreciate everyone taking a few minutes to do this. It has been refreshing to see it this way as opposed to the back and forth talk. 

[CrossboneIU22 1,425]

2 days to go to get your poll replies in. 

[BBTB 54]

Did the poll but didn't really know enough  on every coach listed ,all I want is a coach who will recruit and will actually coach the team  aka  a guy like our football coach only on basketball 

 

[CrossboneIU22 1,425]

Last day for you to answer the poll questions.

Why would 20 people not be content with Jay Wright? People are nuts is the answer to both of our questions
