Next Coach Thread


Recommended Posts

Preferably someone that has a high degree of success in the college ranks, with Nil and the transfer portal.  Everything is here to build a championship caliber team.  

I'm not sure I can go through an entire season of this.

after not being Mike Woodson, I think the 2nd most important criteria is a college coach with a solid resume.  seems weird, but it just might work.  

Maybe look at lower levels that have won big for a long period of time like coach Cig

I feel good that Dolson will be better equipped to identify a good coach for us.  Qualities needed:

1. Coaching philosophy and mindset.  Look at CCC and being “process oriented,” “relentlessly avoiding complacency,” how he motivates, identifies talent (not just googling the top five stars like the current staff does but digging deeper).  This is completely lacking right now.  
2.  Understanding of modern basketball and how to succeed in college. Somebody who understands the importance of shooting, how the metrics dictate things we need to do to succeed, etc.
3.  Someone who has a staff and infrastructure ready for the college game.  
4. Basketball strategy.  Look at the reasons why Haralson and Mullins didn’t come.  The basketball nuts and bolts are lacking sophistication here.  
5. Ability to make adjustments at halftime, to address what the other team is doing, etc. 
6.  Leadership, presence and command to run an operation like this.

There will be up and coming coaches who have delivered already and can get up to speed here.  

I was hoping Woody could put together a recruiting class that could help the transition but he’s just too incompetent.  So we will have to adjust on the fly in the spring.   The only silver lining to this cluster is that Dolson has several months to put it together.

If we strike out on the absolute home run options, I’d be pretty happy with Shrewsberry. 

Nope, too close to home, baggage because of that.

Someone totally unheard of. 3 game contract...

OH, you say that no one will come here for a a 3 game contract that can win..

WELL we havn't won anything in 22 yrs. burnt it down.

let's get this baby rolling.  i really don't know many coaches these days in college bball.  who are some young successful coaches who might be willing to come to IU?

Maybe not successful yet, but.

Jim frank on CR400 in Green county Indiana

Don Jones on CR 1050 Green county Indiana.

With these two, at least we won't get our hopes up and they can't be any worse than Archie or Woody. Give them 3 game contracts, with one game extension options.

Wes Miller?  Todd Golden?  Greg Mcdermott?  don't know much about those guys.  I'm still all about Chris Beard.  

Wes Miller’s name came up by some sports journalists in the Spring for IU. I would look seriously at Shaka Smart. I know TX wasn’t great, but he’s rolling at Marquette
