Only in our dreams: Bringing in Tom Thibodeau as an assistant.

We have a spot still open. We need defense. That's the only thing Thibs knows. Can we not dream about it? Maybe even start a rumor? Why not right?

If I'm going to dream it's either going to be about a different NBA coach taking over as our head coach.....or Emma Watson.

A good rumor is one that is believable. Thibodeau would never work for Crean, ever!

Not a huge fan of Tibs personality anyway. Effective coach? Sure. Like able human being? Maybe.

As long as Brad Stevens exists, he gets my wishes.

Pssst: I heard me a little rumour that Bill Belichek wants to come work for Kevin Wilson as IU's defensive coordinator!

Believable rumors aren't as fun.

Bob Knight is taking over for Teri Moren.

I actually heard from a fine Panda Express (RIP) with glazed over eyes tell me that Tom Crean and Tom Thibidou once met for lunch at Panda (~2 years ago). Clearly this plan has been in the works for a while.

I don't know how well that would work out. Probably great for the defense though.

Thibidou as head coach. Crean as recruiter and pep talker

You want our starters to each play 38 minutes per game? He would be an awful head coach at the college level. Great defensive coordinator though.

[maharkn 1,736]

I would rather them play 38 then play an equal amount as everyone on the bench.

he'd be a great college coach. He wants absolute full control of the court. You know the players will be very well conditioned because they have to play the while game. Plus he doesn't know a thing in the world about offense and would play at a very slow pace. He'd fit it in perfect.

yall are tripping if you don't think thibs would do well in college. Caveat: he's not coming to college ever. but the dude has won 60% of the games he's coached in the NBA, with his superstar out for two seasons. And I'm not sure if it's he doesn't know offense, or the fact that he really hasn't had anyone that can be classified as a scorer on his rosters with the exception of derrick rose, out for 2 years, or jimmy butler this season.
