Sounds ideal for a bowl of oatmeal. Think I'd like the Hoosier's coach to garner a little more excitement.Dan Wolken's article stresses maximum competence and minimum drama:
Indiana men's basketball coaching search should focus on competence, not name fame
The Hoosiers’ coaching search should have a simple focus: Maximum competence, minimum drama. They should aspire to be more like Purdue.www.usatoday.com

A bit dramatic??? IU would kill for the results he has had at Clemson. Not saying he should be the coach either but it wouldn’t end the program.
Maybe a bit dramatic but I do think the next coach gets a shorter honeymoon than ever before. We're going to demand results in year one, or year two at the latest.
Never ever underestimate the stupidity of our admins. Remember we hired Woodson and archie
Again, if you know the situation and resources at Clemson, the fact that he's matched or exceeded what a program with all the resources of an IU, is actually pretty good. He's at a backwater school in the might ACC competing with the likes of UNC, Duke, UVA, and still has a better than 50% conference win % (assuming your stats are correct), is pretty good. If I were to pick a B10 equivalent to Clemson, I guess it would be MN or PSU. He may not be the guy, but he'd be on my list to talk to.
Clemson actually has an awesome campus and fan base. Do agree though that it was tough to crack the hierarchy of the ACC in his timeframe there
I visited it with my son and it's where I'd have gone, if I was choosing (looked at USC, Clemson, NC St, App St, etc...). But, I'm not a high level bball recruit likely black and from an urban area. If you are, it would feel like the sticks and redneck as hell. You can still get some recruits, but a bunch just aren't going to consider you because of reputation, history, and the locale, and the higher level the recruit, the less likely you are to get them. And, yes, they have great fans.... for football. Like I said, within their fanbase, basketball rates behind Football, spring football, intramural football and baseball. I'm only half kidding about intramurals.
