If Woodson isn’t coaching for whatever reason next season, Why limit ourselves to an alum?
I think too much emphasis gets put on “the former IU coaching tree”. Bob Knight didn’t coach under Branch McCracken. Danny Hurley has no connection to Calhoun. K didn’t go to Duke. Self didn’t go to Kansas. Dean Smith didn’t go to UNC. Wooden didn’t go to UCLA.
Go shake some trees and see who is willing to listen. Get the best available coach out there.
The reason I always hear is “oh, they’ll understand the traditions better”.
How about upholding this tradition: win.
