Coaching candidates Non Stevens category

There. I did it.

Maybe the usual posters who have gone to the mattresses since Goodman post can come over here and feel safe to not be badgered and we can talk candidates other than Stevens

Back channel with Dusty now, see if we can make it happen. If not, move onto McDermott or McCasland if you can get him out of Texas. I’d probably think about Buzz after them and Cronin too (unpopular take here I guess). I assume a lot of the other more prominent names we talk about here are unattainable. If you can’t get a proven P5 commodity, don’t take no for an answer from McCollum. I’d prefer him over hiring any kind of assistant coach without previous HC experience, despite valid concerns about style of play.

I like it….

I am a little surprised that we don’t have more insiders around Dusty….i would have thought some friends or family might have leaked some insight by now…if not, I commend him for keeping a lid on things if he has been contacted

I like all these guys and would be happy with any of them. We’re in pretty good shape no matter what.

My updated preference list sans Stevens.

1. Oats
2. Wright 
3. Few
4. May
5. Bennett
6. Pearl
7. Beard
8. Otzelberger
9. McCasland
10. McCollum

I think all of these coaches would be successful at IU.

For everyone who is tired of hearing about Stevens you should post in this thread. This was a my oist

May

McCollum 

Cronin

McDermott 

Williams 

Who I would love to get but no chance of happening 

Oats

Few

Drew

Pearl

A no go for me is Beard 

[Home Jersey]

Byington and Devries are also interesting to me but doubt they leave after 1 year at their current spots

[Lebowski]

Whoever hires McCollum will be getting a guy that can flat out coach. Coaching matters.
