Why not Todd Golden?

Buyout too big? Baggage from harassment allegations?

Sounds good. Maybe we put monitoring software on his phone.

Who is thumping #1 Auburn on the road without a starter.

 

[trailrunner]

The complaints were dismissed by the school. He is obviously a good coach by results and observation. However the accusations are extremely serious and by multiple sources.

 

[nichlee]

Huge buy out, first "great" year, and baggage from sexual harassment complaints. He might be the next big thing but there's many other coaches I'd want coaching Cream and Crimson before him.

Florida was absolutely garbage when he took over

Better than average today

Does Auburn keep #1 if Duke loses?

Well they dismissed it because they said it did not fall under title 9, but they said nothing to the veracity of the claims.

That is my understanding as well.

How about because he's never won an NCAA tournament game?

What's the soup du jouer for 200 Alex.

I am intrigued. Definitely a young, up and comer. His couple years at U of San Francisco, which has been a coach’s graveyard over the last 40 years, landed him an SEC program that’s had more National success than IU in the last 20 years. His recently being cleared of stalking and other charges may a be bit much to get past the IU admins though.

The dismantling his kids put to Auburn on the road yesterday might be the best performance I’ve seen a team have all year…LOL, well, unless you want to count Louisville, Iowa, Illinois and Wisconsin blowing out the same team that was once ranked number 13!!

I don't think there is any argument for this Golden guy ahead of Dusty May. I'm listening if anyone thinks they can make that case.

You're probably right. He's in sunny FL. He's in the best league. He's at a title winning school. And he has a top 5 team already. Zero reason to go to IU.

As for May, the ONLY reason to come to IU is it's his alma mater. UM gives him everything he needs to win.

And his players will be at least passably smart to get admitted there.

Buyout too big? Baggage from harassment allegations?

Not clean enough for the puritan crowd.

IU’s famous “baggage” problem.

We are the Stanford of the Midwest.

Didnt he cheat on a test in middle school as well?

OK, going all in on Todd Golden. OK. Let's see if you're right in a few years. I can't imagine having 3 1500 point scorers on the same team has anything to so with their success.

Well, he probably would be pretty good here, especially with your point of getting top scorers to set aside egos to work together to win. He has proven that at FL.

But, like I said, I doubt he wants to leave UF. Too many positives to leave.
