Odd way to ask the question but no, I’d take Patino. Honestly, at this point, I just want someone who can recruit the state and beat Purdue 10% of the time.
In our current situation, the only guy I'd get rid of Miller to hire is Nate Oats.
I'm not counting all the dream guys that won't come, like guys coaching NBA teams, and guys entrenched in their current job, like Beard, Bennett, and Few.
Ready to move on from Archie, but not to Pitino.
I'd rather bring Sampson back.
Rick is a million years old man.
Ten years ago, he's still old but you might get a decade.
You might get three years max out of Rick now.
I'm sure he would, but he's an old cheater.I think Rick would take the IU job tomorrow.
I think it was pretty direct. If Pitino was hired and we won, are you gonna have a problem with it.
would he be allowed in any of the local pizza/italian eateries?? Waitresses beware.
Serious note- he turned 68 this fall....This might have made sense 5-7 yrs ago but not now. And haven't we learned our lesson about hiring coaches with baggage??
I'm sure he would, but he's an old cheater.
While I’m anti Pitino, I would have been for sticking with Sampson. Big difference between too many phone calls (now legal) and paying players and providing them escorts.Ya the lesson is dont freaking turn yourself in or fire him.
I bet if I made the same poll and said if IU stuck with Sampson and he had got to a final 4 or 2 by now would that be ok with you.... 50/50 split is what we would see there as well.
I agree...but ironically, Rick is only 3 yrs old than Sampson.I'd rather bring Sampson back.

I'd rather bring back neither....we need a coach who isn't under the NCAA microscope for rules infractions.
I know that, but it’s different with Pitino. Not to mention he looks like he could peel over at any minute lol.FYI everyone will be paying players soon. You are gonna see IU bball players doin local adds for buffalouies in the next few years.
I'll give you that....that admin did the noble thing and fell on their sword, then got that sword stuck in them for good measure. Meanwhile, ole' Elmer Fudd Roy has kids taking phantom classes, CAM's big bro has the FBI all over him.....nuthin'. LIke Jimmy Conway told Henry Hill .."never rat on your friends...and ALWAYS keep your mouth shut".Ya the lesson is dont freaking turn yourself in or fire him.

I'm sooooo tempted to start a new post titled "Hire Brad" just to stir it up again for a good laugh. Golldamm does everything look so bleak right now.top 5 coach ever, no indication of losing a step. Id take him in a heart beat.
I would disagree with the top 5 ever statement, but it is what it is. The IU admin would never hire him.top 5 coach ever, no indication of losing a step. Id take him in a heart beat.

I’m iffy on Pearl... he was quick to get rid of his dirty assistant, but that could just mean he has no conscious and knew everything...what about Pearl? Bruce knows the Big Ten and would be a huge success here. Certainly would not lose 11 of 12 to Purdue.
different era. RMK style wouldn't work on kids today. too many paper thin psyches.Why did Bob Knight have to be so freaking good.
You better believe he would. Iona is not a destination job.I think Rick would take the IU job tomorrow.
Also a cheater. Look at the guy Alabama got. Plays fast...doesnt just talk about playing fast, he does it. Bring back the hurrying Hoosiers. He's 46, and his buffalo teams tore up the MAC for 4 years. Kids will want to play for him, like they do for Roy Williams. And he's got them playing better D than we are this year.what about Pearl? Bruce knows the Big Ten and would be a huge success here. Certainly would not lose 11 of 12 to Purdue.

Well, and to be fair ... he was exonerated of the NCAA claims and now back in college. If he did ignored matters to his detriment and let assistants run wild, I highly doubt he'd do it again, just for his own legacy. I mean, I don't think he wants another NC vacated because he had the wrong people around himI think it was pretty direct. If Pitino was hired and we won, are you gonna have a problem with it.
Slick Rick has no place in Btown.
I want to win as much as anyone but I also have academic and character standards that Rick will never be able to sniff.
That is the problem. 1/2 of the IU brass feels this way. Remember Zion got paid a ton of money, coach K does not have standards. Bill self does not have standards. Roy and his made up classes for sure dont have standards. Mark Few has a nice foreign trafficking ring going on.
Maybe 2-3 coaches that are elite do it "the right way" by your standards, but there is shady going on everywhere.
Crean cheated with Ahope Archie cheated with Romeo. We still cheat, and we suck.
BK had four impactful players from the Chicago area in 29 years. What pipeline?We started to suck when we lost the Chicago pipeline. Crean, at least for a while had a DC pipeline. MD, had a southern pipeline. AM has zero pipeline, ie, he doesn't care about getting actual talent, just making sure he gives the perception of getting IN talent first. That's all well and good if there is that talent in-state and you actually do that, and there was, but he hasn't landed it and that's why we suck
Archie cheated with Romeo? Do tell Sean.
Tim was the recipient. Allegedly. And he was known as a meddling parent with “aspirations”. I think most people have some insight into that deal. As I said earlier, it’s almost never the kids, it’s the parents.Adidas payed Romeo and he needed to go to KU or IU after Lou fell through. He and his family got paid a lot of money by Adidas, in turn he agreed to go to an Adidas school.
How is that statement about IU's elite 3p% D going? Not the problem? we are allowing over 40% from deep in conference and last by a mile. Take that coach title from your sn and throw it away you dope. You dont know shit about basketball.
