I love Calbert the player and I see him as a great ambassador, but I remember well how another IU star utterly failed as a coach and GM. I'd have to see a lot more from Calbert to vote for putting him on the bench and I think that was the position he was after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a head coach, has a former IU player or assistant ever won a championship at the college or pro level? Edit. Obviously Coach K, but I am looking for a more long term connection than one season.

Played at IU 1918-1921, head coach at IU 1924-1938, won a national title as the head coach of Stanford in 1942. Slick Leonard. Played at IU 1951-54, coached the Pacers to ABA championships in 1970/72/73. If you want to get technical, Branch McCracken. Played at IU 1928-30, coached IU to two national titles in 1940 and 1953. Edit: From what I can tell, closest that any IU-connected NBA coach has come to winning a title was Mike Woodson, when he made the conference semifinals with the Hawks and Knicks. Lawrence Frank equaled that with the Nets, but he wasn't a player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In his second year as HC at New Mexico, Steve Alford led the Lobos to their first conference championship in 15 years. If memory serves correctly, Steve led New Mexico to a second place conference finish in his first season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was not really commenting on the other posters post just thinking that a lot of experts said that if we offered he would commit right away. Also if he is always over on campus if it is obvious he is interested so I feel like he would already commit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The part about him always being on campus was the joke. Since many people consider "Bloomington" and "Indiana University" as synonymous, the humor/irony is derived from Anthony usually being "in Bloomington". I couldn't tell you if he is always in Bloomington and on campus a lot, but that's where the humor WAS derived from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wanted to meet with academics department and other things that you don’t see by just being on campus. Yes he is on campus pretty often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to be redundant for those in the know, but, Anthony has also been offered by Iowa, Xavier, Northwestern, and Butler. And just picked up an offer from Virginia Tech. Plse coach.

Indykev Posted June 4, 2019 Report Share Posted June 4, 2019 Leal added five points on just four field goal attempts. Jr. All Stars score 141 on Ky. Didn't play much in the 2nd half the article read. I have nothing good to say, so I won't say anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
