dbmhoosier Posted March 2, 2021 Report Share Posted March 2, 2021 49 minutes ago, IUProfessor said: No one knows what Stevens' mindset is right now. Four years ago he was in a very different place with the Celtics than he is today. It's entirely possible that the opportunity to return home would be much more attractive now than it was in 2017. It's also entirely possible that he really would prefer to stay in the NBA, even if he gets let go by Boston. Outside of those in his inner circle, no one has any clue what he's currently thinking. Of course, at the end of the day, the odds are he won't be the next coach at IU. But as others have noted, if there was ever any chance of it happening, the stars do currently seem to be aligning to make it happen. You'd probably have to offer him a lifetime contract similar to what Cal has to get his interest.  Same for Tony Bennett. Not impossible just unlikely given our highly incompetent administration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he had a .673 winning percentage at Iowa State...and they aren't a traditional power house... The guy can coach... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KoB2011 Posted March 2, 2021 Report Share Posted March 2, 2021 A coach saying no to us 4 years ago means absolutely nothing today. That goes for Stevens, Bennett, and any others who said no back then. So much has changed in four years that we do know, let alone thing we have no way of knowing that could have changed. You go ask those guys again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL! Never said he was a bad coach but his NBA winning% is .42 but you make fun of Keith Smart and his percentage is .35. Nether one is good so why would you want one and not the other. Hoiberg college winning percentage is .568 and got passed the sweet 16 once.

IU Scott Posted March 2, 2021 Report Share Posted March 2, 2021 I was watching Oregon and yet again they have a really good record. I know the Pac 10 is not a great but he has been very successful. His overall winning percentage is .67 and at Oregon it is .72 so he would be a good hire. The only thing I found on him that would lead me against him was from 2014 where he had 3 players accused of rape so that would be hard to explain.

You are one of those people that will never admit they are wrong and treat people horribly in the process. If you don’t agree with him fine but the way you act on this board is frustrating and annoying. Yes I could just not respond but that’s not how I am. This board is an outlet for many and the way you act affects that and I guarantee I’m not the only one who feels this way. Can’t you just for once have a decent debate with someone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had Iowa State, the Big 12's version of Northwestern, making the NCAA tournament 4 out of his 5 years there, and winning 2 conference tournament championships. Anyone who knows anything about coaching will tell you he's a great coach.
