Sounds like Nick Norton is coming with DDV to be on the staff as one of the five assistants.

Young, accomplished as a player, and trusted by CDD - sound great.

I’m looking forward to seeing what his vision of embracing past IU traditions, history and former IU players…..I believe he mentioned he will be a part of the IU history moving forward now. 
Who do you see as former IU players/player that Coach D could use on staff?

I think Mike Lewis and Sherron Wilkerson would bring a lot to the team. Mike has a job though. I'm not sure Calbert wants the grind of being a bench coach. I may be mistaken. Hulls may feel the same.

I have nothing against Lewis, Wilkerson, Hulls, Chaney but I'd prefer the bench not be loaded with IU guys.  Let's bring in some fresh blood and ideas.

Agree with this. Get the best staff possible. If that means any of those guys, great.

Exactly. And keeping someone associated with the program can have special value because of booster, administration, community, and high school/statewide connections.

Ultimately, it is part of CDD’s challenge to use outstanding judgment in assembling a staff that covers all aspects.

I'm assuming DeVries will bring in his culture. He will evaluate current coaches and staff to see if they fit with his culture.

DDV is bringing in his guys and dudes who can recruit. It’s going to be a brand new day and a lot different look come November. 

No more screwing around. If the coaches I am hearing come in, will get interesting.
