Checks all the boxes (except for buyout?) I know his name has been bandied around here for a while. Will need to find him a mini-farm for his miniature donkeys.
Grant McCasland.

I heard he likes to drink beer after wins.
I also heard he gets angry after losing.
No thanks! Indiana University is better than that!

Drinking beer is a big big no no. Woodson drinks wine which i guess is ok. But no beer!!!
I do.
If Self retired tomorrow I think McCasland would probably crawl on his hands and knees from Lubbock to Lawrence. Maybe to Chapel Hill as well if UNC hadn’t extended Davis.
The last thing IU should be doing is to artificially limit itself in terms of the candidate pool for its next BB coach.
I don't get why anyone would give a flying f*ck what he does anywhere except the gym and the arena? What do you want him to do, cry like you lil B's or publicly flagellate himself ..
Seriously, some of you are really strange ..
Great coaches would have been in the office watching film and figuring out what went wrong.
Someone too lazy to make the required effort to recruit Mullins go to the mancave to drink and smoke cigars with buddies.
And you shouldn’t be calling someone else strange.
Not sure why people say this. It may be a factor, who knows? I'm a native Hoosier and have lived in OH, NC and SC and I have many friends here from out of state. What's the top reason people move out of state? Careers. Now, Bob McKillop was a native NJite and he decided he loved Davidson and never left, despite many opportunities, but being from a state can be, but is rarely a draw big enough to turn away career opportunities.
Fair point, but as a 48 year old, he's either been in Texas or gravitated back to it very quickly, his entire life. In the past 20 years, he's spent exactly one year outside of Texas, and that was in Arkansas.
Fair point, but has he ever been presented with the opportunity to coach at a school like IU?
Honestly though...another variable that we have no way of knowing...how does he even view IU, and the IU job? Most of us assume IU is universally viewed as some "Blue Blood", ultimate destination level job? I think it probably is for some, but probably isn't for some. How he feels about IU, more so than what everyone else writes or says about IU, would probably have a lot to do with whether he'd leave his home area for IU.
Same question for any of the candidates that don't have IU ties or connections.
What kind of options outside Texas has he had that were better along his path. TT has a really good bball environment so maybe he likes it there. I can't see the attraction to being in Lubbock though from it being an at home scenario. Texas is big so Lubbock is ways from Dallas to Waco corridor where he grew up then went to college. UNT is in Dallas area and he left there to go to middle of nowhere Lubbock. I'd bet he would at least listen. Pretty easy to get in and out of Dallas airport.
