 Bilas shouting out IUs DeVries as one of the best hires of the cycle along with Sean Miller and Will Wade.    Nice optics for the program 

I think we missed out big on McCollum.

It probably won't, but if it makes anyone feel better, it sure seemed like Ben didn't want the IU job.  And yea perhaps it's Scott's job to sell him on it, but not sure that was possible.  Also, yes, maybe Scott offered CDD first as his preferred candidate.

Anyways, it's water under the bridge now.  TBD if we add Ben to our long list of what-if hires: Coach K, Pitino, Beilein, Boy Wonder, Dusty, I can't even remember them all at this point there are so many.

I like CDD.  He wanted the IUBB job.  He's a good coach.

Might try Alice Cooper for solace.  He will welcome you, I’m sure.  LOL

If we hadn't just missed out on Dusty it wouldn't sting so much.  By far one of the dumbest mistakes I've ever seen a CBB program make.  Completely inexcusable.

Even worse is the other dumbest mistakes are probably also IUBB related lol.

But hey, Woody is gone and Scott somehow turned around football, so maybe he can fix bball.  Idk.

I don’t. Even Iowa preferred our coach

I fixed your post for you.

But for the year after, when we actually got a new coach? I betcha we did really well.

I absolutely love what Dusty is doing.  Results, recruiting success, play style.  Maybe Indiana would have eaten him up, but seeing the way DDV is getting lots of leeway, maybe the fishbowl isn’t what it used to be.

Throw me in with the guys that think if we missed out on anyone it was probably May. Looking to be one of the best hires of the last few years.  
 

With that said, there’s nothing stopping CDD from being better here. Time will tell.

Brad S.

Though apparently we did hire some kind of Wonder who is coaching our football team.

I don't ever want to see Brad Steven's name mentioned in connection with IU basketball again. Ever!!

Unless the Celtics draft a player or he attends a game there’s no reason
