Parakeet Jones Posted March 28, 2021 Report Share Posted March 28, 2021 I swore when Archie as let go that I wouldn’t get too locked in on any one candidate so that I wouldn’t be disappointed if he didn’t get the job. I feel myself trending toward that place with Musselman though. I swear he makes so much sense and is so obvious. That kind of has me scared that it won’t happen. I’m still on board whoever we hire, but for once it would be neat if it was the guy I was pulling for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't need that, we need someone that is going to inject excitement back into IU basketball and I don't think he is it. All of the sports program at IU are exceling right now and have tons of excitement except the one it is known for, IUMBB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it is a case of some of that national media looking for a story and grasping at straws. If Dolson hired Moser and it went badly, Dolson might be joining him out the door, and he would deserve it if he hired another risky mid major over someone like Muss, Drew, or Beard. Moser does not check the boxes that Dolson stated in his press conference regarding what he is looking for in new coach. I think Moser is just the "flavor of the day" with the IU coaching search.

Great post. I am clinging to hope on what Dolson said in the P.C. regarding creative offense etc. I will be right there with Dakich if we hire this guy. Any excuses anybody wants to offer up for his offense could just as easily be applied to Archie. “Guys didn’t hit shots” etc. I can’t see this type of hire being worth $10 M for the donor.

IUCrazy2 Posted March 28, 2021 Report Share Posted March 28, 2021 1 hour ago, HoosierMama said: Hopefully Leal can turn into that for us. I’d happily take another as well!! I haven't given up on Phinisee either. Dane Fife was not the best shooter his first few years at Indiana but he turned into a capable scorer towards the end of his career. He attributed a bit of it to just not knowing how he fit in the offense but he got it turned around. Thought his was funny from a few years ago too: Click and read through that. Lol. Dane might be a fun guy to have here. Anyways, I think that if you get the majority to stay and then get a transfer or 2 (I think we should have 3? open scholarships right now) then you could have a solid team. I think Geronimo, Race, Stewart, and Durham are the most likely losses. So assuming that, you have Phin, Franklin, Leal as available guards at the moment. Hunter, Galloway as SF. TJD as PF, and Brunk/Duncomb(?) as your centers. You can get a decent starting 5 out of that group but you could also convince some guys in the transfer portal that there are spots available to compete for. I don't know, just seems like Miller left some pieces for the next guy to work with. The more of then we keep, the better off we are IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with your premise but I think an overwhelming majority will be satisfied with Muss or Oats, even if they preferred someone else like Alford. I think Moser will be explosive if he doesn’t keep the roster intact, recruit really well, and win in year one. I don’t think this will be like Crean’s first year where the fan base gave a strong signal of support even though they couldn’t win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BGleas Posted March 28, 2021 Report Share Posted March 28, 2021 I would consider Muss, Oats or Beard a home run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobSaccamanno Posted March 28, 2021 Report Share Posted March 28, 2021 I haven’t really studied Dana Altman much at all. He’s always been out of sight, out of mind to me. I don’t know what O or D he runs. I just haven’t really ever focused on him. But he’s got a good record and is well regarded. We heard good things about him at Creighton and he’s done well with Oregon. He’d had players like Pritchard who I really like. If he’s strongly interested as has been reported, and Beilein is interested, there’s no reason to go below that tier of a coach right now. I mean we should be able to win starting next year. As I’ve said before, no one is getting younger. Life is short. I am done writing off whole seasons as a rebuild. Not when good coaches adjust year by year to their circumstances.
