He had however listened to offers and reportedly turned down Georgia. Serious question is if he could mentally handle us. Yes, us IU fans. “Probably haven’t felt like this in 10 years. I found out stress is real. It’s a legit disease. In retirement you sleep until you’re tired of sleeping, then you go about and start your day. It’s being able to sleep in the night, you wake up in a good mood. I hadn’t woke up in a good mood in like 18 years. That’s what coaching is. You can’t be happy.” Kinda what I said regarding CAM V Allen. Some people can handle the spotlight and some can’t Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After coach K and the other longtime coaches leave I doubt we see as many coaches staying long especially in one place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgambill Posted January 17, 2021 Report Share Posted January 17, 2021 32 minutes ago, IU Scott said: I think coaches think they have to over work to be successful but I don't you do. You use to see football coaches sleeping in their offices and watch film all night. I think you can still have a balance of life and still be successful. Read stories on Mark Few on how he does not put in a lot of long hours and never sees his family. It seems like he found a great balance b between work and home life and is still successful. If I had one of the top teams in the country and I faced San Francisco and Pepperdine and St Mary’s for the large portion of my season I wouldn’t worry much either.

Always thought he looked 10-15 years older, especially with his back issues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people can handle the spotlight and some can’t We saw CTC basically fall apart and start looking sloppy. CAM doesn't have to be personality extraordinaire to win the fans, though that may appeal to certain recruits. He does however have to start winning some games. He certainly looks stressed and doesn't appear to be having much fun. Tom Allen is having a blast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5fouls Posted January 17, 2021 Report Share Posted January 17, 2021 How many Chris Mullin's, Patrick Ewing's, Matt Doherty's and Kevin Ollie's have to be hired and fired before we realize that hiring a former player as head coach of that school may not be a good idea.

I use to think the same thing but whatever have done the last 21 years isn't working. So if there is an opening what route do you go. Knowing there is little chance to get an elite established coach.

You never know until you ask. North Carolina, Duke, and UK (if Cal were to leave) aren't going to be afraid to make that call when they need to.
