Why not Todd Golden?
- Thread starter ribbont
- Start date
Well they dismissed it because they said it did not fall under title 9, but they said nothing to the veracity of the claims.
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.
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.
As we know Dusty is now off the list, but since his contract extension, has 3 losses in last 5 games. Only wins by a combined 5 points vs Rutgers and Nebraska.
Meanwhile, Florida and Golden about to win at Bama. Already won at Auburn last month. Might have the most well rounded offense in the country. And a great offensive rebounding team. They should be a 1 seed now. Unlikely FL lets him get away though.
He would kill it here. Super high energy. My number one pick at this point.
I am hoping he wants to leave FL because of the false accusations.
Maybe. He may keep the momentum or he may not. Waiting til the tourney starts is a good idea for coaching searches.
I don't have anything against Golden I just see it as a great singular season and he may not be able to sustain it. Not sure. He has really high scoring players this year.
As far as why Indiana? Because Indiana will be paying probably $6 million/yr to be nationally competitive.
Not every coach will want to leave for money, but some good ones will. It's a question of how big a gamble IU wants to go.
I see Scott Drew as likely to stay where he is. He's been there 22 years and has a National Championship. And he makes a ton of money already. I'd be surprised if he'd want to go to Bloomington.
But I would not be surprised if Grant McCasland or Chris Beard wanted to go to Bloomington.
I don't think McCasland will come. Texas guy. Beard would but I doubt he will be offered. Golden's buyout is really high, so he's out. Agree on Drew.
That leaves McCullom, Brownell, and Cronin. Maybe Otzel, but I think he stays. Unless there's a mystery coach.
s
Scott's already proven buyouts aren't a problem. Hopefully he's taking a close look at Golden.
Florida basketball's Todd Golden under sexual harassment investigation. What is Title IX?
The Florida State basketball team hosts UF, whose coach, Todd Golden, is under a Title IX investigation after women said he stalked them over a year.

I don't see how he would pass muster if Beard can't. His allegations involved numerous women and were creepier.
My take is: 1) On the court, obviously he's qualified and desirable. 2) If there is any validity to the accusations, then I think he is more of a risk than Beard due to the "habituality" of his transgressions. 3) I wonder how many are "a few" or "several".
Not many details to go on here. If IU is interested, the buyout shouldn't be a factor, but there better be a thorough vetting of this young man. If it was all BS, then I'm in on this guy but if there is even a hint of these allegations being true, then walk away fast b/c he will do it again. Beard, it's questionable if his DV was a "one time" thing or if that is just who he is.

Quite possibly. Depends on the Administration at Florida and how they feel about the "strength" of said allegations.
Correct that is the number one criteria first and foremost. Pure as the driven snow. I saw beard take down tenn last night and we are going to pass on him even though he would come.
Normally I might agree with you here. But "ain't nobody payin' no $14 million buyout."
