[IUgradman]

Wow, we are desperate.

Link?

 

[edub72]

Yep. Love Calbert but this screams desperation to me. Hopefully just going through the motions

Wow, we are desperate.

No way that's for the head coaching job.

 

[IU Hoops Fan]

Cheaney as HC, Beilein as assistant. Oh yeah.

His source/sources?

 

[Harpo Marxist]

as far as former players goes......this guy is at the top of my list. Xs and Os he knows.....recruiting is the real challenge...he offers probably the best opportunity to bring in higher level talent than his former player peers.

 

[Crayfish57]

Why? Are we hiring a coach based on being a great IU player? I loved watching him play but why are we even looking at him for head coach?

 

[Crazy8]

I call bullchit. Some here are wise enough to know. Others are suckers.

 

[rocketo]

Wow, we are desperate.

Really? What a stupid comment. If I’m Dolson, I at least want to talk to Cheaney and see where he stands and what he is for. Regardless if I hire him or not. What is the harm in speaking with him? Much more good there. Show him we are interested in him being involved with the team and respect him. That can only help us in the long run.

 

[Crazy8]

No way that's for the head coaching job.

Probably getting input for the search.

 

[turney333]

Wow, we are desperate.

Or just killing time until after this weekend when a few more candidates are no longer coaching

 

[iu2win]

This ^^^^^^^.

 

[IUHoopster]

Per local radio personality Jake Query via twitter.

Heard a quote today that I liked “we need the IU alumni to bail out the coaches, not be one”

 

[rocketo]

Probably getting input for the search.

Nobody but Cheaney and Dolson know for sure...

 

[MIS01]

I wouldn’t believe a word Query says. He swore Troy Williams was going to transfer two years straight

 

[BayernFan]

Donors will love him.

 

[UncleMark]

Donors will love him.

That's another consideration Dolson has that we website posters don't have to worry about. He needs to make sure the big money people find his choice acceptable.

 

[Birnk403]

No way that's for the head coaching job.

For what position would he be interviewed? If you say “assistant”, go stand in the corner.

 

[Crazy8]

Maybe interviewed to guide the search. Maybe not an interview. Maybe never happened. Do I need to stand in the corner?

 

[FloatingHooz]

Wow, we are desperate.

maybe. Or alum are getting their courtesy interviews.

 

[Birnk403]

Maybe interviewed to guide the search. Maybe not an interview. Maybe never happened. Do I need to stand in the corner?

If you have to ask you probably should already be there.

 

[Big Red Crimson Buffalo]

Cheaney as HC, Beilein as assistant. Oh yeah.

So, a guy with two college stints as an assistant is the head coach and the guy with

• 2× NCAA Regional – Final Four champion (2013, 2018)
• 2× Big Ten Tournament champion (2017, 2018)
• 2× Big Ten regular season champion (2012, 2014)
• 
  That guy will be his assistant? Mmmm-kkkayy!!

Flip it around, and stuff Dane Fife's 10 years of experience under Izzo into Calbert's brain, and it works

 

[Frosty83]

Wow, we are desperate.

Why are "we" desperate? It makes more sense that "you" may be disappointed because "you" want to see someone else hired.

 

[Courtsensetwo]

Per local radio personality Jake Query via twitter.

Query is not a credible source. More unsubstantiated rumors. When did he get a radio show?

If he wants to get back into coaching, sure. Marquette might take him.

Evansville passed on Calbert three years ago. I mean, c'mon!
