I want the unknown who can do it! Best hire would be after doing all the HW hiring who would be best. I don't care if that person every coached college game. Bob Knight once said Doc Colleson (spell??l) could coach any sport and do well at it. When you got it, you got it. There is a reason why some are not in the NBA. Yes, by choice, but also maybe because of other reasons. If we can go the opposite- wow! Vince Lombardi coached high school basketball after never playing it or coaching it before in his life...he taught himself the game through books in the library and won a state championship... One of his players was Mickey Corcoran who was Bill Parcell's high school coach... Like you say, if you got it, you got it.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NCHoosier32 Posted March 23, 2021 Report Share Posted March 23, 2021 i'm not betting on the success of a guy who has never been a head coach at the college level (Woodson), or guys who have never been a head coach anywhere (Lewis and Cheaney), or a guy who was the head coach at IUFW (Fife). of course any of them could do well. it's possible i would do well i suppose. the highest level i have coached is high school girls and high school boys travel ball.

IU Scott Posted March 23, 2021 Report Share Posted March 23, 2021 1 minute ago, BADGERVOL said: Like I said I will get behind whoever he hires. And I will admit it’s possible even some HS coach could succeed here. POSSIBLE. And any fans bashing the guy who boycotting or whatever will take whatever that possible chance is and take it to zero. So it doesn’t pay to throw a fit. It’ll be what it is at that point. But we also can’t expect someone with very little evidence to back the notion of success to inspire “excitement.” There’s a big difference between trashing an incoming coach and awkward silence. The more silence with a hire the more the target is on Dolson’s back. If the consensus for the majority is “this guy is bound to be successful here” and he doesn’t pan out, it’s not as much pressure on the AD as him hiring some former player with zero head coaching experience and that person not panning out. If he has some “gut” feeling on someone fine...go with it and we’ll support. And if doesn’t work show him the door in a NY Minute. I think it is better that there is silence from Dolson because it shows he is not letting things out. The worst thing to happen was when it came out that Stevens was a done deal. If that never happened I don't think the out cry would be this bad. Everyone compared to Stevens will feel like a let down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Few wanted to move into the BIG10 and coach IU, but planned to coach/ teach just as he always did at Gonzaga, what would you think? Would that work for you?
