Rick Bozich with his thoughts regarding the ongoing Indiana coaching search and Penn State.

The dude quit right before the season! Said himself he is a square peg in a round hole with the new cbb. No thanks! New guy has to have a fire burning, a passion, able to connect w the fan base and hs coaches

I think it's Drew but if Kent says they have them locked up everybody is coaching so only Stevens, Bennett, Wright are available now.

No offense intended to him, I understand it gets people like you to watch, but he has/had no idea. If that were the case, do you not think that by now the information would have been confirmed, or at least suggested by a media outlet that actually covers Indiana, either locally or nationally? While I do expect a deal to be wrapped up and possibly announced following the 2nd weekend of NCAA play, there is "no way" they "had their guy" a week ago, or even today for that matter.

Joe Hillman tossed his name out the last time he was on with me. Obviously, he is a quality coach. But I don't know about a guy who quits as the season was about to start? Strikes me as fearful.

Speaking of Joe. I had a poster compare him to Leal.

Would love your take on that comment!

Thinking anyone would tell Kent Sterling that info is rich. I mean. Come on people.

Veteran reporter Rick Bozich talks about the Indiana coaching search; are there more names we can eliminate? Probably. Is anyone moving to the front? TJ Otzelberger had his buyout reduced to $4 million. Penn State in town as well.

And you know what Jim. You have really worked hard getting great guests. You have for sure earned my 100 bucks a year. I’m back on the premium train. Time to give those guys on the premium board some valuable information .

My take would be simple and brief. Joe Hillman averaged 44 points per game in HS at a high level, in California. He's a scrapper and gave up scoring for a role at IU as a starter for Bob Knight on a very talented national championship team by being mentally and defensively tough as nails. Anthony is a great kid and more valuable to this particular team than people might realize because of their lack of talent. Maybe he could have been a 'Joe Hillman' if he had not been coached by Archie Miller and Mike Woodson.

Good points also he hasn't had any more information since he said Indiana has there guy.
