Hoosierfan and Hoosier82 you both have the same profile picture.  No bueno.  Going to have to do rock paper scissors or something for it

Nah, we'll just ban both of them.

also Minnesota about to hire Niko Medved, soon. The cheap wins won’t be as cheap going forward.  
 

Fran has had Iowa very respectable over his stretch.  Seeing what McCollum can do will be interesting.  
 

he’s gonna win a lot I think. But the B1G will be a gauntlet with the level of athlete he’s used to.  Danny Sprinkle comes to mind.  

Just for some perspective:  Nico Medved went 17-17 in his sole season at Drake.  He was immediately followed by DeVries who averaged a 25-9 record over the next six years.

Iowa bound. 

Just remember he chose that school's basketball program over ours. He's the enemy and I hope DeVries beats his ars every single time we play him.

I would tend to believe that IU chose DeVries over him. DeVries had 26 more years of D1 experience, has utilized the transfer portal for big targets and showed the ability to translate from mid-major to P4. I just don't think Dolson wanted McCollum over DeVries.

From what I understand, McCollum didn't say yes.  @Chris007

McCollum takes ages to decide. And with his team in the tourney I think his schedule was way behind. DDV was all about IU and that’s that.

Not so fast on McCollum to Iowa…

Probably trying to make it look like he wasn't negotiating with them while he was still coaching Drake.

Exactly the 1st thought that went through my mind.

I’m glad that Clifford is a super senior and not coming with Medved to Minnesota lol. I assume tomorrow or Tuesday Medved to Minnesota will be announced then hopefully soon after Ostrom announces he’s going to Minnesota too

Speculation here in Cincinnati is that Xavier is going to rehire Chris Mack.

[WayneFleekHoosier 50,695]

Who has Villanova hired? They still going for Willard? Can they wait a week? Interesting.

Damn they love a good retread. Maybe they can hire Travis Steele or Thad Matta after Mack leaves.

Tbf, the coach before Medved averaged 9 wins per year and was still trending downward. Medveds sole season actually constituted a turnaround and the Devries took it from there.  Pretty good chance both can coach.

Big 10 adding another young coach ! Iowa lands Ben McCollum

Assuming he’s Minny’s guy, I imagine Medved would have enough leverage to get that cheap-a$$ administration to get in the game financially or he can just hang at the very good job he has now.
And I’m gonna keep an eye on Ben Johnson. I think that guy’s a pretty good coach who got a pretty bad deal there. Given his age he’s got a chance to rehab himself in some mid- major job somewhere and maybe get a swing at another power conference job down the road.

Richard Pitino Jr. and Ben Johnson are living examples that you can be a good coach, but if you're at a program that gives little support it won't go well.

Is it too early to project that Xavier will hire Sean Miller, in 2031?
