Indiana - Archie Miller Out
Indiana State - Greg Lansing Out
Minnesota - Pitino Out

Ok, White Magic. Pull one quality transfer out of your hat.

 

[kenos]

Ok, it's petty, but as far as I'm concerned the best part of the Indiana job being open is that Steve Alford will not be a finalist for the position.

Are we actually sure about that?

I would assume both Minnesota and Indiana are checking to see if Beilein has any interest. Indiana fans have once again convinced themselves that it'll be Brad Stevens.

 

[kenos]

Why would you hire Alford at Indiana when he showed what he could(n't) do at UCLA? Three sweet sixteens, ok, but with teams that were largely expected to go much further, and he certainly wore out his welcome.

Of course, if Indiana hired him and he did his usual alienate-and-flame-out, that wouldn't be a bad result either.

At least it would be entertaining.

A bad imitation of his mentor.

All of the asshole. Half the results.

Plus that asshole would have to come back to Carver at least once as a result. Having gone to Iowa during the second half of his tenure, I for one relish the opportunity to boo his petulant ass.

Richard Pitino and Tim Miles are reportedly finalists for the New Mexico open position...Must be where Big 10 teams send refuse

Tim Miles is a better coach than iowa state will have on their bench next year

 

[CamelTones]

Alford finished in 4th place in the Big Ten his last year at Iowa and didn’t even make the fucking NIT.

 

[bigazzturkeylegs]

He was never a real option, but I'm going to pretend he turned them down.

 

[gable_guy]

Afford’s agent doing some work

 

[BBK]

No doubt Indiana is offering Beilein an absurd amount of money.

 

[nolookpass]

Indiana - Archie Miller Out
Indiana State - Greg Lansing Out
Minnesota - Pitino Out

that 7 foot center for Minny would look great in black and gold..

 

[douglasbader]

Thanks, Gus.

 

[Thomas Wolsey]

That would be great for them.

 

[thrawn]

Robbins will follow his uncle

 

[Stomper15]

Robbins will follow his uncle

Given the COVID rules, can Robbins replay his Jr. year at another school? Or does it have to be at the same school?

 

[CamelTones]

Was talking to an Indiana fan today and said I thought they would go hard after Beilein.

‘Don’t want him. Go hard after Stevens. If you can’t get him get Randy Whitman.’

I’m starting to figure out why they suck.

Beilein would stabilize them and get a 6 or better seed every year. Then go get the next big thing.

 

[Lee Beevers]

Beilein is 68. Not sure he’s interested in building a program again. It’s gonna take Indiana a year or two at least with great recruiting to get to the top echelon of the douche.

 

[TJones3312]

 

[Stomper15]

I love these top-tier coaches who are end of lifing themselves at smaller schools. Less media chaos, can fly under the radar, and recruit better players than you would typically be able to at those schools.

 

[Hawkstrat]

With the transfer free for all coming, it might be a good year for a well known coach to start over.

 

[DonJMiller]

These guys are delusional. Brad Stevens is “wasting his coaching talent in the NBA.” Yes, coaching the best basketball players, in the best league in the world, is a waste of his talents. What in the actual fuck?!

 

[L. Wade Childress]

IU has recruited damn well.

 

[Trey Kohn]

Yes..._Jay Wright would take a step down. GTFO

 

[Thomas Wolsey]

Jay Wright isn’t leaving for Indiana, but Indiana is unquestionably a better job than Nova

 

[Hawk&Balls]

Thankfully we've designated this is for men's coaches only

 

[Trey Kohn]

You don’t shit shit about Nova, guy.

 

[Hawkstrat]

I don't shit shit anything, pal

 

[BngHawk]

The ollll double shit. Veteran move.

 

[Trey Kohn]

I don't shit shit anything, pal

Pretty sure you shit shit on Fran 2 weeks ago. He wasn’t the man for the promise land or stupid farewell crap. I’m sure you will fit it for your narrative, but you are negative Nancy around here more times than not.

I don't think that's particularly fair. I was pretty pissy and embarrassed myself two seasons ago, but I've admitted as much. Outside of Az, most of these fucks have let it go.

On the other hand, I did worry that Fran was kind of going to be stuck in the weird position where he has done well enough that we should be happy, but for whatever reason he hasn't been embraced by a lot of the fans.

I still do, kind of. Hopefully a sweet 16 will go a long ways into chilling people out. Check the replies to the contract extension tweet, they don't appear to be fans of a top 10 team. Call them Wal-Mart, but there is an unusually large chunk of our fans that seem to take pride in shit (shiting) on the program. Media types as well.

But I never did any farewell.

Classy post, Strat.

 

[Hawkstrat]

I'll be rooting for you the rest of the way.

 

[CamelTones]

So is the new Penn State coach not coaching Purdue at all in the tournament?

 

[thrawn]

Dave Leiato out at DePaul, which means it’s time for a new round of “DePaul is a sleeping giant!!” takes.

(they should send a brinks truck to the porter moser residence)

 

[The Dad]

I have been lower on Iowa bball than I was after DePaul skull fucked us. Mostly because I was completely indifferent during the The Criminal years.

 

[Talkin' Goat]

He was never a real option, but I'm going to pretend he turned them down.

Narrator: They won’t.

 

[CamelTones]

They’re none too happy all the top talent is leaving the state. Basically said it in this release.

 

[HiawathaHawk]

He's finishing the season with them.

 

[Creed]

They should try Pitino’s dad.

 

[rodg12]

Prohm out at ISU. Where do they go from here? Devries? Otselberger? Try to woo Fred back?

 

[rodg12]

Oh, thread in the lounge. My apologies.

 

[thrawn]

Oh, thread in the lounge. My apologies.

the bow was for linking DeVries to another job, not thread policing

 

[rodg12]

That’s fair.

 

[douglasbader]

I might as well put it in here as well....

- Iowa State should be on the phone begging Archie Miller to take the job
- Same thing with Minnesota and Thad Matta
- Beilein would be a bad hire for Indiana, for them and him. If he takes anything it would be to go back to Michigan when Howard leaves for the NBA in a few months.
- Indiana should go all in on another cheater and hire Scott Drew. He would be scary as fuck there.
