If we're talking coaches with a past, what are everyone's thoughts on Will Wade?

I think he's a very good coach, but someone who so openly and provenly cheated is a turnoff for me. But that seems to bother many less than Beard's background. How would you feel about Wade as our coach and where does he rank on your personal hiearchy of coaches who are realistic options?

The blatant disregard for the rules he showed would worry me with him. Sampson vibes.

He's quite obviously a very good basketball coach though. And probably the exact type of coach that could fully maximize what IU could be.

But while the transgressions are very different than Beards, I personally wouldn't take on the risks if I were Dolson, similar to Beard.
