McCollum

Nice podcast and agree completely with their analysis of McCollum’s risk so of course I think it’s a good podcast.
If Cronin has a first or second round loss this year my bet is he will be on the hot seat. He didn’t even make the tourney last year and UCLA’s history doesn’t show they have a lot of tolerance for two consecutive down tournament seasons. Maybe different now if they are short on money and with his contract but at least there will be a lot of unhappy people.
They are a program that expects deep runs, a blue blood program.

Can't imagine its much of anything, since he's at Drake? And it shouldn't have any impact on NIL, good or bad, I wouldn't think.
Drake is a private university...but a guess would be he's making in the ball park of 1 million per year...with a buyout, at this point, in the 2 ish million range.
BINGO!! A real coach is going to keep a player in their seat if they don’t bring effort. I want a great coach as well as a challenging coach.
Yep, just like coach K, from what I’ve read about coach McCollum, he makes sure all the players play the right way… not just sometimes but ALL the time. Archie knew basketball, but it didn’t seem like he could get his players to have his enthusiasm about the game.
I only see 3 can't misses on our list. Brad, Pearl and Pitino. Sure fire winners. After that it's all a toss up. All are gambles to a certain degree.
All the Valley games are like that, though. A10, too. And then there will be a 30 point blowout.
Welp, we’ll be back here in four years. Dolson is a retard who had some blind luck finding Cignetti.
Beard, McCollum or bust.
Sign me up. I’m all in.
Hey….at least they are playing in the first round. IU will be lucky to be a play-in game.
He’s been a D1 coach for 1 yr. D2 to IU in about 16 months? That’s risky as hell. It might work out, it might not. We can’t get this wrong. Maybe we have no choice but to make a risky hire. I thought Archie was going to be a really good hire. Knew Woodson wasn’t. We’re too far into mediocrity to warrant a sure thing I guess.
If we hire McCollum and he wins like I think he will, half the people on this board will change their screen names out of embarrassment.
Another f***in' Goodman tweet that will spawn 1,000 articles. Ffs. I'd be happy with BM--and he may be on Dolson's radar--but JG's source is probably the AH janitor. I wouldn't get too high or too low, folks.
Remember that dingbat's earlier tweet where he wrote "As I expected" when he listed a bunch of guys who turned down IU? I call bullshit. He could tweet, "It's Brad Stevens, Done deal!" and I wouldn't flinch.
IU went cheap with the coaching search again and is scraping the mid major barrel. Welcome to 2017.
IU basketball is dead. **** you Myles Brand. **** you Pat Shoulders. **** you Fred Glass. **** you Michael McRobbie. **** you Quinn Buckner. **** you Scott Dolson.

We have a choice. IU about to give the middle finger to the fans once again. The choice ...
F***ing drama queens. "Archie 2.0," "see you in four years," "IU shit the bed again." Yeah yeah yeah, we get it.
Keep in mind that Scott Dolson has mentioned exactly zero candidates.

None of the bolded will have anything to do with it. Give Scott his chance.
I feel for you.
I think you should delete your account here, burn your IU stuff and become a hermit.
TIA from the rest of the board.
Dolson cannot afford to make a gamble with this hire. Cignetti was a much more sure thing in a sport with far less history and tradition.
They just need to pull the trigger on Beard. Too big of a jump from D2 to Drake to IU. At least if we truly want to be relevant againWe have a choice. IU about to give the middle finger to the fans once again. The choice ...
McCollum wins more than Beard ever has. Beard has way too much downside.
But still unproven in the big leage at this point - is he Archie 2.0? Experience favors Beard
Who actually thought that Jon Scheyer at Duke and Mark Pope at Kentucky were considered proven and home run hires? People who know basketball made those decisions. If IU were to hire Ben McCollum (which they won't as long as Brownell is a candidate)...is he inferior to those two? I don't think so.
This hire will show if Indiana’s admin gets it. This is the easiest decision ever for Dolson and Co! Chris Beard is possibly the best coach in the game. 🙏🏼
Sigh. Best coaches don’t have .500 conference records over 7-8 year spans. Good grief.
Pope was a successful coach in the B12. a Kentucky alumn, and and a former NBA guy.
Scheyer was Coach K’s chosen understudy that had been groomed for years.
These examples are not the D2 or MVC coaches.
Had to sit through 4 years of Woodson ball and you can't wait just a bit longer for Beard to be named?
Wait until Dolson makes the hire before you confirm his retardation.

Do research on his rosters and how much they have overachieved. His no middle defense is amazing at covering up for individual deficiencies. The mental preparation for his teams is also off the charts. Winning is more than just a quick glance of research.
He does more with the cards he has than BM. If BM can get 2-3 ncaa tournament wins as an underdog, then that would be a fair comparison.
He had an established program for 15 of those years. That is much different than raking over for bad programs that are hard to recruit. This year he took 4 guys from that established group and they were as good or better than MVC level players.
Do you expect BM to be over .500 in their ncaa tournament games?
We better grab coach Mac while we can. If we don't we'll rue the day.
