Great basketball minds, bring one of them home to mentor under Woodson and possibly take over the program in the future. Lewis and UCLA played well in the NCAA Tournament, and I like their offense. Lewis would be a great hire for IU.

Neither of these guys are NBA development guys or deeply connected to AAU, right? That’s what Woody needs so he can successfully recruit the kind of talent that will get us closer to elite status. We have enough nostalgia for IU’s past greatness with Woodson himself. He covers that quite well, thank you.Great basketball minds, bring one of them home to mentor under Woodson and possibly take over the program in the future.

Except Michael Lewis isn't interested in coming back. Besides, UCLA is a good job if he wants exposure to get a head coaching position. Why leave?Great basketball minds, bring one of them home to mentor under Woodson and possibly take over the program in the future.

Both of these guys are more than capable of being great assistants for IU. Not all 3 assistants have to be deeply rooted in the aau landscape. It is possible neither are interested given they are already in big time programs. I loved Calbert as a player, but these 2 have a better pedigree and have had a bigger role in the development of the teams they have been associated with. Former Hoosiers or not, I'd be thrilled if we landed one.
Money offer a pay raise to Mike Lewis. He is showing he is a future head coach. If I'm right he could be a head coach in waiting at some point..Why would either of those guys make a lateral move? Fife is in line to be hc and it appears Lewis has a pretty good gig now.
Key word might, he could be a head coach in waiting at Ucla which is a winning program. At this point being an assistant at UCLA would look better on ones resume than at IU.Money offer a pay raise to Mike Lewis. He is showing he is a future head coach.

He’s not hanging out 20 years to coach at UCLA. Cronin is 49.Lewis is coaching for a te

Lewis is making under 300 and Fife about 350. IU should be able to afford doubling both their pays and bringing both onto the staff. They saved money on the HC salary.Why would either of those guys make a lateral move? Fife is in line to be hc and it appears Lewis has a pretty good gig now.
High taxes in California. Maybe a pay raise plus a net increase would do it.Money offer a pay raise to Mike Lewis. He is showing he is a future head coach. If I'm right he could be a head coach in waiting at some point..
Have you been to east lansing?Is there a reason Fife would want to leave his home state to move to IN?
It takes pure idiots to think CMW would have Lewis or Fife as assistant coaches!Have you been to east lansing?

Lewis sounded like he'd consider it. At any rate, there's no shortage of IU people interested.It takes pure idiots to think CMW would have Lewis or Fife as assistant coaches!
AJ Moye wants a job on the staff.
I heard K.Smart in an interview the other day. He's really impressive.He and Keith Smart are the two guys who would appear to be immediately available...
Smart seems a really solid hire if he's interested... Teaching young players is supposed to be his strong point...
I don't know what Randy Wittman is doing these days but he's two years younger than Woodson and would be a solid addition if he'd consider an Assistant position...
With Hunter back aboard we have two slots to fill... If he keeps Roberts, there's still one opening (as an on the floor Assistant)...
Why? Because they like where they are or is there another reason.It takes pure idiots to think CMW would have Lewis or Fife as assistant coaches!
Neither one of knows if that is true, but AJ would be a guy who gets it. Smart or lewis might be better coaches.AJ Moye wants a job on the staff.
Moye has said it was advice he got from Woodson that led him to get into coaching. He does private player development. Or used to.. I haven't look it up recently.Neither one of knows if that is true, but AJ would be a guy who gets it. Smart or lewis might be better coaches.
AJ is awesome. One of my top 5 HoosiersMoye has said it was advice he got from Woodson that led him to get into coaching. He does private player development. Or used to.. I haven't look it up recently.
I do know it’s true. One of my good friends is pretty close with him and his wife. He has texted and called Archie the last 2 times a spot opened up and Archie completely blew him off. Just another thing Archie did that irked me.Neither one of knows if that is true, but AJ would be a guy who gets it. Smart or lewis might be better coaches.
They need another roller board recruiter, younger with existing connections. I still believe Fife or Lewis are that guy but I love AJ.I do know it’s true.

Pontoon “poontang” on Lake Monroe free of no rocket’s science tree here?Is there a reason Fife would want to leave his home state to move to IN?
Here's a decent article listing some possible hires:
IU basketball: Assistant coach names to know for the final two openings
The focus has been on the roster during new head coach Mike Woodson’s first few days on the job, and understandably so. But if that is job 1(a), assembling a new staff of assistant coaches is…www.thedailyhoosier.com
My personal favorites are Mike Lewis and Calbert Cheaney but I won't get a vote (and I don't know if the Pacers would release CC from his contract)... Keith Smart is next in line on my list and really it's a coin flip between he and CC...
The only reason Mike Lewis comes in at number 1 for me is his current college recruiting background, otherwise my whole top 3 could be reversed and they would still be a couple of solid Assistant Coaches (in my opinion)...
Let's hope MW is able to get his staff together quickly... Who's on it most likely be the key to how many of our guys decide to return from the Portal and who we may be able to recruit from it...

My two biggest take aways were that neither Lewis nor Fife were next in line as HC. The board here has always assumed they were.
The second was that I saw no one listed as east coast recruiting strength. All had Indiana and some midwest ties bit we need to compete in the east against Rutgers and MD and perhaps even Penn State.
