Yeah, I can't stand a coaching style that results in a team which is much more than the sum of its parts. Winning games in the tournament are also something I don't like.

I understand the satire but you know what I’m getting at lol

I’ll be honest our fan base wouldn’t jive with McCollums style imo 

If he generally had us in the top 4 of the BT, got us to Saturday generally in the BTT and had good to really good results in the NCAA fans would worry much about style?

At McCollum's current pace and if he continues to succeed like he is, every point guard on the planet will consider playing for him. He already coached a point guard that was fortunate enough to play in the NBA for one season and is currently professionally playing in France. His current point guard is a junior D2 transfer and folks will learn about him in the tournament. His system is centered around the point guard. The last three national titles (76, 81, 87) IU won had arguably the best point guards in the country on the court. All three of those point guards were smart, played solid defense, made free throws, and came to play every single game. Also, it's safe to say every national champion had one of the best point guards in the country on the team. This dates as far back to Wooden to Izzo to Coach K to Wright etc. College basketball is a point guard game and has been for decades. If he were at a school like IU he will have his fair share of choices on who he wants to run his system. Because folks like Isiah Thomas call these recruits. NIL will help along the way. IU has resources college coaches desire. Recruiting players will not be an issue for this coach if he were at IU. 

Bennett Stirtz.  His name is Bennett Stirtz.  Y'all probably know his name now.

If Stirtz doesn't have an agent, he should get one and D-ROCK should call him.

Saw a tweet I thought was funny ... 

If Ryan Odom gets/takes the UVA gig, he will go to Charlottesville with exactly one NCAA tourney victory ... over UVA.

I hope McCollum doesn't end up at Iowa.

Other than Dr. Tom nobody has really had much success at Iowa. Less likely in the NIL era. Not too worried about it.

In addition to Will Wade, NC State is hiring Andrew Slater of the Oklahoma City Thunder for their GM role. Former recruiting Analyst.

Indiana doing things the hard way.  This is splashy work by NC State.  Our way will feel better if it works, but if it doesn’t, this is the clearest path to winning.  Not only that, Wade is single handily changing his reputation with how he is doing things this post season.  Almost becoming a media darling in the process. lol.

No surprise -- Odom to UVA. 

 

[woodenshoemanHoosierfan 6,630]

Wow. That is big. Seems like a lateral move on the surface. 

I was listening to Big Ten Radio on Sirius/xm this morning. They mentioned Willard wants more money for NIL from Maryland. So maybe leaning toward a basketball school

How about this one.....Coaching Changes alluding to the possibility that Shaka Smart could be headed to.....South Florida.

I know that Smart has lately been open about being tired of dealing with player agents, but man would him going to South Florida would be a real Shaka.

Called that one multiple times on here.

Remember how we all were trying to convince @Stuhoo that little Pitino was a good coach but he wouldn’t buy it.

Illinois fans would rage if another coach left them for a Big 12 school again.
