OT, Calbert to IUPUI?

Hearing that former IU star Calbert Chaney, now a Saint Louis asst, and Memphis assistant Jason Gardner are frontrunners for IUPUI.

 

 

He's moving on quickly

Would be a GREAT hire for IUPUI

Could be a good situation for him with a nice new arena being built that could be appealing to the wealth of talent in the Indy area. Attractive job IMO.

I'll say it now. Calbert is the only former Hoosier player I would want to be our head coach. I think he's going to be REALLY good.

Agree, but not yet.

I'm interested to see his style of coaching, and what system he wants to employ on both ends. Crean and Crews don't exactly run very similar systems, and he has been on both staffs, though in different roles, I think.

great for Calbert and IUPUI...

can't wait to see how he does as head coach.

I kind of hope that Calbert holds off for something better. IUPUI is terrible right now. It could take awhile to build them back up.

Well he has the advantage that there are relatively zero die-hard IUPUI fans who won't be patient.

Calbert's role here was non-coaching.

I'm in the same boat. I read a lot about how things like admissions standards for IUPUI athletes really held back the former coach too, and that was a big part of Hunter leaving a few years ago.

I can't tell if this is sarcastic...

If he goes to IUPUI, he can turn the program around quick and look like a hero, then bounce to something bigger. If I were just getting into the coaching game id want to go to a place like IUPUI that I could put my stamp on and show a quick improvement and turn around. Makes you so much more marketable than a coach going to a 20-10 team and maintaining or maybe improving by a game or 2

Yeah, but that's only if he can get the recruits to turn IUPUI around. That won't be the easiest thing in the world to do.

AJ Guyton wanted that job, he is trying to get his foot in the door somewhere.

It's not. Rabjohns or Dopirak tweeted/wrote about it if I remember correctly. IUPUI increased admissions standards for athletes (I think the school has been in general for a while now as well) toward the end of Hunter's time there and it had an impact on recruiting. We're not talking about Stanford levels here, but enough to have an impact on a low D-1 school that has to live in the margins.

I have a vague memory of that being discussed.

I hope he gets the job, and I hope he absolutely kicks tail!
