Steubenhoosier Posted June 28, 2019 Report Share Posted June 28, 2019 So, we want an offensive minded, ex-IU player who is still hungry because he hasn’t made millions, and is young enough to relate to today’s teenagers. Bracey is just our guy 🤪 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DocHoosier Posted June 28, 2019 Report Share Posted June 28, 2019 Put me in the camp for finding the best coaching prospect Irregardless of Indiana ties. Some of the most impactful assistant coaches in the B1G recently: Purdue’s Greg Gary and Michigan’s Luke Yaklich. Coach Gary was a big reason why Purdue’s offense has been elite over the past two seasons, as he became in charge of calling/designing plays. Coach Yaklich brought the defensive principles which made Michigan a juggernaut on D. Both coaches graduated from schools NOT named Purdue and Michigan! Let’s just get the best assistant coach for the Hoosiers... and remember not to overreact if it’s not a household name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. Rick is from NWI. Remember Eamonn Brennon ? Started at IU. And moved on to ESPN. Helped Alex get his site started. As well as doing IU "Stuff". He dated Alex's sister, Maggie. Don't know how that turned out. Other than they were Journalism majors at IU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burton Guster Posted June 28, 2019 Report Share Posted June 28, 2019 Did anyone else see Brooke Martin from WISH tv had a picture on her Facebook tonight of her with Calbert? No idea where they are though, or if it relates to this topic (probably doesn't) but I wanted to mention it since his name has come up on this thread.

Really? FWIW Rick Bozich is a CBB Writers Hall of Fame journalist. An IU Alumni who has won numerous awards. Knows as much about IUBB as anyone who posts here. The only student writer that Coach Knight would let into practice. His opinions are well earned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you going to ask us to sleep on a pee stained couch? Ha, I wish I was still 50 :). My point was not that someone in their 50’s could not do the job but that rather someone that had achieved certain very high career heights (Smart and Wittman as NBA Coaches etc) might no longer be interested in running around recruiting 16,17 year olds. Who knows, maybe they would love it. I just know there were things I willingly did early in my career that I would not want to do now. That was the intent/point of my post.

I know his camps are doing really well and he for sure knows the game. He's 100% on the up n' up so there would be NO concern for anything shady. Probably a pipe dream, but it'd be kinda cool to have 2/3's of the Zeller family with IU ties. And a side note.....I think Luke has the pointiest elbows I've ever seen. I caught several of them with my face when he was in 8th grade and would work out with the varsity team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tdhoosier Posted June 28, 2019 Report Share Posted June 28, 2019 In the last 48 hours I've learned just how much assistant coach's successes go completely under the radar from a fans and even the media's perspective. I've come to this conclusion because: A). I haven't heard one assistant's name thrown out there who doesn't have ties to IU. I'm sure Archie knows who the good assistants are, but I have absolutely no clue of which guys are the most in demand. It doesn't seem like our beat writers know either. B). This just may be me, but I've never heard of Coach Gary (PU) and Coack Yaklich (UM) until last night. Yet, they were so instrumental to the success of Michigan and Purdue. All the while, as a fan, I attribute most of the credit to Beilein/Painter and the rosters. I'm not saying the head coaches don't deserve a good amount of the credit because they are the ones who made the hires, but man - these guy's value really goes unnoticed outside of their respective fan bases. ....just thinking out loud.

For those of with ties to Illinois have known about Yaklich. Will be a head coach in next few years after Texas. Known as a defensive guy. Little more information on him. Beilein also brought Yak to Michigan to get DJ Carton (former IU target and 5 star PG). Carton's family and Yak have been long time family friends....which made it even more of a shock that DJ chose Ohio St. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaSalle Peru, Sterling, Joliet stops before jumping to Illinois St. Success pretty much has followed him everywhere.Very, very well known throughout the Northern part of the state.

BGleas Posted June 28, 2019 Report Share Posted June 28, 2019 I'm surprised at how many names are being thrown out in this thread that have zero college coaching experience. My guess is that Archie is going to hire somehow that has been on a college bench before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
