So, a football school doesn't even wait for the season to end to fire its basketball coach, after firing the previous coach, who just happened to be the winningest coach they've ever had. It must be nice to have an athletic department managed by people who demand excellence, aren't interested in excuses, and don't give a damn about "optics," people's feelings or what anyone says about them on social media. They just expect greatness and they usually get it. Their athletic department puts ours to shame.

McDermott is actually kind of a fascinating deal. His name comes up on every job and the guy has seemingly never entertained actually leaving and he doesn’t leverage it into extension after extension. Dude just seems perfectly happy where he is.

Paris is from Ohio.  That is the guy I think they target.  But what the hell do I know....

After Holtmann turned them down the first time they went after McDermott and he turned the job down which made OSU offer more money to Holtmann who then took the job.   McDermott would be a great hire for any school.   His offense when it’s clicking is basketball porn 

I guess I forgot about that from before, makes sense though. Dude just wins.

Gamblers Anonymous meeting at 8 if anyone needs a ride.

 Taking IUPUI and the 5.5 points. Being an underdog to a winless team has to be some motivation, doesn’t it?!

Not getting a taste of the money line? It is Mike Davis on the other sideline…

Ohio St new AD is coming from A&M.   Buzz Williams probably going to get a look I would guess especially if they got a good relationship now 

[HoosierCoop]

OSU, Michigan, and Louisville.....

If we aren't careful, we are going to be left with the crust of the coaching pie.

Tom Crean to O$U?

 

He’s a multiple conference championship winner and multiple time S16 participant.

That is the guy we need in the portal right there....Thornton was interested in us.  He is a tough rugged guard....he can hit the 3...he is the kind of lead guard we need.

Ty Berry NW out for the season with a torn meniscus.

Excellent player and a shame. Increases IU's chances this weekend.

Certianly Ohio State will follow our lead and hire a former player ... 

Chris Jent (L.A. Lakers assistant -- been an NBA, G-League, European assistant for 30 years)

Scoonie Penn (Memphis Grizzlies assistant)

Andrew Dakich (Illinois State assistant and yes, Dan's boy)

Certainly, given the Hairless Nuts' rich tradition, their fan base will cry out for an alumnus to get the gig.

That's the path they'll follow -- I just know it. They'll look at our success and see that's the only way!!! 

LOL.  Interestingly enough I have seen Jent and Penn's names mentioned on Buckeye boards(yes, I follow other teams forums on occasion).

Solid point

Kind of a basketball obituary for Holtmann.

Don't get my hopes up, Penn St was missing their alleged top scorer too

They've played several teams this year missing a major starter, usually their lead scorer. I'm pretty sure they struggled in each one of those games.

Michigan State doing what they do.  Win enough games late to get off the bubble.
