Maybe he's got business to take care of and not entertaining a new job until the work is done?
Ncaa Tournament thread:
- Thread starter GeorgeStrait IU
- Start date
It’s not a whiff, DeVries is a very good coach, he’s not an Archie or Woodson for sure, but perhaps McCollum might be better. Who knows? Time will tell, but IU did not hire a bad coach. WVU fans are livid because they know they lost a good one.
Very possible IMO but just as likely Dolson went with “safe” vs taking a risk.
Risk.
.945 winning percentage in last nine seasons.
Apparently they play a different sport in D2. Or whatever BS people are selling…
I’m mostly with ya. Hope McCollum lands anywhere but the B10.
I think CDD has a higher floor but BM has a potentially higher ceiling. That said, I’m just feeling good that IU has hired a good up and coming coach with plenty of experience.

The plus to me (who very much hoped for McCollum) on DeVries is he does have a lot of D1 experience as an assistant under a couple of very good coaches. Then on his own has showed a lot of ability as head man.
He can run a program I'm betting. We're good!
But, the McCollum detractors thinking dominating in DII year after year isn't also 'running a program'... Well, I just don't know what to say to that.

It’s very possible that both of them are very good/great. Time will tell.
I like our HC. I like CBM, too.
He definatelty was my #1 pick. He will produce Tony Bennett and Bo Ryan type regular seasons for years to come. Hopefully he kills it in March as well.. He IS a prodigy.
I agree. BM was and still is who I would've gone all in on. Far from a gamble as one poster stated, considering BM has almost 3 times as much HC experience than CDD.
The one thing that goes for CDD is that he turned Drake around after 50 years of garbage. Then made WV competitive in the Big 12 after just one season. The jury is certainly still out and maybe he shines but BM seemed like the more secure of the 2 options.
These WVU guys, who travelled with the team throughout the season, think you're an idiot.
Kansas vs. Arkansas was a tough one though. Nobody to like...
Maybe he is but who knows. Bo Ryan could keep guys in a system for five years and develop team. McCullom will have to compete with the big boys in the portal each year if he gets a P5 job. One day we will see what he can do at a higher level but its highly unlikely he will be able to keep most of his team around for four or five years like Ryan did.
That league is so bad it takes 3 refs who should be immediately arrested by the FBI following this contest for a 2 to beat a 15.
A huge coaching trait is the ability to punch above your weight: that takes strategy, wanting it more, discipline, and smarts.
Baylor & MS St was a great game and really enjoying Vandy right now. I think that dude may be building something and will end up getting a bigger job if he can string another couple of seasons together there.
My choices were members of the Church of Satan but I think they'll both be in the final four soon. One already has been. Not sure where he'll be next year. Definitely not Texas.
Vandy vs St Mary's is a good game. I have St Mary's in it. Randy Bennett sure has his system down every year.
