I think had they both said yes right away it would be McCollum. However, there were concerns with him. Scott had concerns about his high-level recruiting.

Scott had concerns about his high-level recruiting. Credit to trilly on that nugget:) McCollum as much as I like him this would have been the biggest issue. Great coach. Question with him will be consistency at this level. If I was him I would be very choosy where I ended up. I wanted him here but I also don’t think it would have been the best fit for him. He is a great basketball mind though. I think DeVries if you think about it will be the better fit long term. JustWinBaby, 8bucks, cybergates and 2 others 5 Quote

Idk, but I want the coach who doesn’t need time to think about it.

It's been mentioned before that other coaches would crawl to Bloomington, whether that's true or not we will never know. We finally found one who would!

Lebowski Posted March 21 Posted March 21 35 minutes ago, Chris007 said: He didn't say no he just wanted time to think about it and DeVries said yes immediately. Ron Howard voice over, "McCollum said no." I've been offered a couple of jobs where this was my answer when I didn't really want the job but wanted to keep my door open just in case I didn't get the job I really wanted. Sounds like he's either content where he's at or he has his eyes on a bigger prize. raorIU, Chris007, IU Faithful and 2 others 4 1 Quote

Popular Post Class of '66 Old Fart Posted March 21 Popular Post Posted March 21 SIAP. From The Daily Hoosier - 4-star class of 2025 forward Trent Sisley tells me he spoke to Darian DeVries about 30 minutes after the news of the hire broke. There's no change of plans here, he's a Hoosier. Pretty amazing Trent didn't have to initiate the call! dws Pagoda, RaceToTheTop, HoosierAccipiter and 14 others 16 1 Quote

I think we got the better end of the deal IMO Yes, I think both will be successful, but DeVries’ system will be much more entertaining to watch (first 12 seconds priority) while McCollum had many worried about his pace of play and recruiting.

I don’t know, I think DD/BM are a couple of the best two up and coming coaches right now and last night was the first time I got to see a full game of Drake, and although I think they got bogged down a couple times, they were highly entertaining to watch and really had Missouri back on their heels for a lot of the game.

I get that, I just wondered iwhen the actual offer was actually made? I’m sure they asked if both wanted the job, I’m guessing when WVU missed Dolson jumped on cdd. Could be wrong. Maybe Scott prayed for a sign to show which one of the two was right choice? Chris007 1 Quote
