One of the things I’ve read about BM that I like is that he adjusts his game plan to the talent he has available, as opposed to trying to get his players to fit a pre-conceived game plan. Some of his teams have been high-scoring, and some have been defense oriented. That shows me that he is adaptable, intuitive, and not stubborn. Bottom line, this year’s team’s pace is not necessarily hard-baked into his coaching approach. What’s consistent about his teams is not his game approach but that he wins, apparently regardless of the approach.
What would make a candidate a good fit?

It’s a new game. No ONE is becoming relevant ( for more than one year) without portal money, or buying them. If you happen to hit lightning, they will leave if you don’t have NIL. That’s the game today.
I think it’s much more interesting than Beards. And when you add the depth of knowledge on why he’s running it…it makes even more sense.
Who coached the NBA slam dunk championships the last few years? Google says Chuck Millan. Let's interview him. We'd have an exciting offense. And he'd be a recruiting monster, because everybody wants to play in the NBA. Can't miss.
Did I say anything about his winning? I said his style of offense is boring. Unlike you clowns that think Cignetti is so great, I don’t. He has to show me because I don’t give a shit about what he did at JMU. The same goes for McCollum. One year at Drake doesn’t impress me. If his offense is slow paced because of the players he has then I would put him on my list. I just don’t like slow paced games where the score is in the 50’s or 60’s.
Clowns?? Wow that really hurts. Sounds like there isn’t much in football or basketball that would impress you.
That ball control stuff is bullshit. I hate it when my team is in control… unlike your mouth… or typing
You’re too stupid. Having control of the ball is fine idiot, but running the shot clock down to a few seconds every possession is boring ass basketball. McCollum’s offenses average one of the fewest possessions per game due his slow paced crap.

He had a soft ass schedule and that’s the reason he even made the playoffs. When he starts beating good teams I’ll give him the respect he deserves.
You call the NCAAT the "playoffs"?
That tells me all I need to know about your basketball knowledge. This discussion is above your pay grade, pal.
Really? UConn does the exact same thing(half court). They do get out in transition more(better athletes) but when they do the half court stuff they work it under 10.
Well so did those SEC teams that made it. How about ND schedule that ranked in the 50s? Your arguments have as many holes as Swiss cheese.
Agreed. The discussion of "boring offenses" is way overblown. I see 2 actual legit concerns with that: 1) champions generally have top 10 level O/D efficiencies. That's not to be ignored. 2) will good players want to play in that system? Personally, I'm not as concerned about this, because good players are good players, and NBA types will sniff them out. If they're that concerned about getting to the NBA, then they might not be the guys that you can build a champion team around anyway.
Personally, Hoosier fans will get behind any coach who wins, and I think most Hoosier fans appreciate great D and effort.
