jojo123 Posted March 12, 2021 Report Share Posted March 12, 2021 Steve Alford, Lewis, I think all of you anti IU guys are Turdue fans. You know if we get an IU guy we will rule again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdhoosier Posted March 12, 2021 Report Share Posted March 12, 2021 1 minute ago, BGleas said: The problem with the IU guys are that there aren't any that are qualified. The only one that even comes close is Alford, and there are a ton of issues with him and his resume is lukewarm at best. If all of these former players want an "IU guy", then one of them should have gone out and built the resume to warrant it. Great point. All these old school, though guys who played for Knight seem to believe you need to earn everything (My perception). Hiring a coach just because of his relation to the IU relation seems a little hypocritical. Don’t get me wrong, I love our alumni - what they have done and what they do for this program, but isn’t making this ask essentially the same as rewarding a participation trophy?

ledies22 Posted March 12, 2021 Report Share Posted March 12, 2021 Here is the way i look at it. IU was a top 5 program. IU should be a top 10 program with the likes of Duke, UNC, Virginia, MSU, Kentucky, Kansas, Nova, etc. All those programs do it a little differently, but they all have 1 thing in common, a top ten coach. IU needs a a top ten coach. Alford is not that. Alford may come here. I wont be upset. I will root for him and IU. He may do well. But at the end of the day he isnt and wont be a top 10 college basketball coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know why I am doing this... but what about Alford's resume makes you believe the fact that he would be successful here? And be honest, if he had not played here would you actually want a coach who has never been past the sweet 16 over a couple decades of coaching?

IUfaninIllinois Posted March 12, 2021 Report Share Posted March 12, 2021 Here’s my questions let’s say Scott Drew does come.... 1. What assistants stay in staff from IU currently? 2. What coaches come with Drew? 3. What players can qualify to get in to IU from Baylor because McKinley Wright couldn’t get in or he would be here and we might actually look a lot different with him. 4. How many players does Drew bring over from his current team or his incoming recruits? 5. What current committed IU players still come to IU? Duncomb, Gunn, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coach Robby Posted March 12, 2021 Report Share Posted March 12, 2021 No one under the age of 27ish knows jack squat in regards to steve Alford and IU. His hiring would satisfy 12% of the fan base (no offense, all over the age of 92) I love random numbers and flex days built into our school schedule 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have tried everything else and didn't work so why not try this if we can't get a legit power 5 coach. There is actually a lot of things we haven't tried that are seemingly much better ideas.

At least, he's not a mercenary hired for money. I can be assured he genuinely cares about IU basketball and teach players what it means to wear IU jerseys. I've never heard any rave reviews about his coaching...And he's had had chance at a head coaching job and didn't fare very well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aside from the obvious difference between scouting and coaching, and I know more than a few baseball scouts and they could never manage or coach a team, what has PK done to earn a job at IU? As I told @addictedtoIU, I've never heard another coach or any player praise his coaching chops... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
