And the "determined to express opinions as facts" camp.
I love Cig. But that was a 1 in a million. I’m thrilled we have him. Assuming this works again with IU bball scares me a bit. We have been in the wilderness so long I want a proven commodity.
I used to be a hard no on him, but I wouldn’t complain if he was hired.
So it was your opinion and not a fact that BM is not a candidate? I thought maybe you had inside information.
We're gonna screw this hire up.
They won't hire Beard because of the alleged DV incident.
They can't hire McCollum because they can't afford to take a chance like that and we'll watch him make Iowa relevant after Francis is booted.
Pearl is a no-go because he's got Auburn rolling and his kid is the coach in waiting.
We'll end up with some Mick Cronin type who will be just a step above mediocrity.

I agree and he might end up being a great coach. He just doesn't have a good enough resume for IU currently.

So Alford comes home?
I liked the Star's methodology and could go with these, even Cronin.
I'm just saying the notion of that hire "uniting the state" isn't realistic.
Any coach that wins at a high level will unite the fan base, though. Including . . . gasp . . . Beard.
I want to hear from @mattndallas , seeing as how he and his wife are close personal friends with Dolson and family.

Hockey is way more exciting.
Son played in his division's state championship yesterday. They got smoked 6-1 but it was awesome. Rink was packed and people were going crazy. Some moms (other team had the better players and the better MILFS) on the other team screaming "flatten that kid!" to their sons. Good stuff.
My "unite the state" comment was poorly worded. What I was getting at was a coach who works the state hard, works the state's high schools, and reestablishes IU as the place where Indiana's best high school players want to come. We haven't totally lost our appeal, but it's not what it should be or what it once was.
I like how he looks in those tiny suits
Archie didn’t get it and didn’t know how to do it (work the state’s coaches). Woodson didn’t want to do it.
New guy has to get it. The top two or three guys should never leave the state. And one must be a killer 3-point artist.
After every win running down the sideline going NYUK NYUK NYUK in those tiny suits. Be great
IU will make the final four this year. Woodson will leave. Sit out a year. Go somewhere else and find success. And we’ll pass on Pearl beard etc and settle on the fans’ 5th choice
Yeah, schools are just beside themselves waiting to pay a guy who is 2 games over .500 in conference after 4 years to come run the 2 big stand around offense at their place.
The whole "lock down the state" thing has never worked. Knight couldn't even do it. There's plenty of talent outside the state of Indiana and they're all paid mercenaries now, anyway.
In fact, I think IU should go the way of some other schools and get a basketball and football GM to be the talent scout, negotiator, etc. to take some stuff off the coach's plate. Hell, let's have an analytics dept too!
I see no problem with this approach. Someone explain to me how having a basketball GM is bad.
Indiana already has all that. They don't call him a GM, but we've got a director of basketball operations. We also have a head for recruiting (Jordy Hulls) and a guy in charge of all the data.

If you're talking about that lame ass one or two question thing they do at time outs, I saw that. He looked totally nonplussed. I wouldn't be surprised if that was a new experience for him -- they only do that on the national network broadcasts.
LOL. I'm talking about a real one, Baller. You think this kid should be our basketball GM--the kid who put together summer camps? I have t-shirts older than him:Indiana already has all that.

What do you think a college basketball gm does?
It's not the same as a pro basketball team.
"Does?"
I'm saying we should change that, so what that young pup does now is irrelevant.
You'll never get a college coach in here that is worth a damn if he doesn't have complete control of the program, including the GM.
