I just heard it's Devries from an Illinois St U connection.

I really start questioning our fan base when people are mentioning Alford. Didn’t we just try this with Woodson?? Alford had every opportunity at UCLA and didn’t really do much. Again , great former player, but not a great coach or what IU needs. This why we get mediocre results - low expectations.
Can’t stand all this back and forth, this coach that coach, what a bad time to stop smoking and drinking!
It’s possible that Scott is in the know with who will be the next coach.
It will be interesting to see. Hopefully we aren’t widening the net now.
This isn’t about coaching, but I was surprised to read that Alford made 53% of his three point attempts his senior year. In his last college game against Syracuse, he drained 7-10 from deep. What a gem he was for IU, a gemologist might think, tweezers in hand.
His senior year was actually the first year the ncaa officially adopted the 3 point shot.
It’s been said a janitor found a jar of peach pomade left in his locker upon graduation. He used it to silence his squeaky doors in Elletsville.

It is.
Remember how pissed RMK was at him when he took the Iowa job and stole Recker? lol
I know they mended things later on, but Alford's relationship w us began on a bad trajectory and merely went from there.
Man, he was an awesome player for IU!! It was so much fun watching him play!
He’s an outstanding human being of exemplary character. Haters choose to focus on his defense of Pierre Pierce before his case went to trial. These are the same people today not giving Chris Beard a second chance, the holier than thou folks seen in the front pews on Sunday cheating on their income taxes on Monday.
Socks, shorts, 1,2,3… swish
Great free throw shooter.
I remember my Junior year/his senior year
during one of the home games, we/fans always said those words during his free throws. He missed one, and Bobby blew up. Told the crowd to be quiet.😂

I'm sure he is a good guy. The Pierce thing was bad, however.
But I don't think that's why Alford isn't a candidate.
What sane coach wouldn’t have taken Recker, the Iowa player who scored the winning “floater” at the buzzer to beat us in the 2001 BTT championship game. That one still stings.
At least we're getting our mileage out of Airplane, Dumb & Dumber and Caddyshack quotes!

I would hope the IU fan base wouldn’t use the term hate for the Alford and Woodson players. They are true legends of IU basketball. I would agree with using the word dislike for their coaching abilities.
Could really work the screens. Haven't seen anything like that since from anyone.
I'm "hearing" the opposite of that. Actually...hearing DeVries to IU...McCollum top and likely Iowa candidate.
I hope you're right though.
It's possible to appreciate Alford or Woodson as players and also realize that neither are great coaches and may even be flawed human beings. Alford a better coach than Woodson probably, but neither are the answer for IU. In fact unless he's already hung banners we should never consider hiring a former player ever again.
The idea that IU has some moral high ground while the abomination of the Kinsey Institute exists is perfect poetry.

The Kinsey Institute recently lost its funding, much to the disappointment of the campus’ burgeoning kinky sex crowd.
has it been posted that it looks like WVU turned down both the NIT and Crown, and their season is also over apparently?
I guess after their snub, I could see them turning down, but you'd think it would be a pretty easy sell to get your kids fired up about going to the NIT, winning and proving you belonged. More fodder for the fire that he's headed somewhere at least.

Is NIT seen as any kind of valid tournament by today's players? It used to have more prestige but my impression is that lately it's seen more as a consolation game.
I could care less, my point is that it's really odd for WVU not to be playing in either tourney. One could surmise their coach is thinking about a new job.
Or it could be big middle finger to the NCAA for the screwing they got on Sunday. 🤷♂️
