He would be a beast, but I'm not sure he'd leave Auburn for UCLA. That's a very different culture than anything he has ever lived in, I'm not sure the resources are any better (SEC has stupid money), and Pearl strikes me as a very loyal guy. Auburn hired him while he still had his show-cause, so I think it would take a lot to get him to leave. Especially after making his first Final Four.

Seeking6 Posted April 2, 2019 Report Share Posted April 2, 2019 Regarding Vanderbilt. Just in case anyone didn't know the back story (and there's always one). Malcolm Turner was former G League Commissioner, Carolina Grad....plenty of former connections to Stackhouse. This move wasn't a shock but more or less a deal between 2 people who have known each other for years. My guess is Bryce Drew (as other coaches with new AD's in SEC) was a dead man walking since December. Of course his record just made it easier to fire.

Zlinedavid Posted April 3, 2019 Report Share Posted April 3, 2019 Dixon is a solid coach, but after hearing everyone from John Calipari to the reanimated remains of Red Auerbach being mentioned, I could see why it can sound underwhelming. Honestly, pretty good hire. Not a home run, but a solid extra base hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think Cronin might be getting tired of having great years but not getting good seeds in the tournament because of the conference he is in.

IU Scott Posted April 3, 2019 Report Share Posted April 3, 2019 I would think the UCLA situation should show us IU fans that the top coaches are not clamoring to leave their current jobs for the fish bowl of big time basketball programs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That, plus Cronin and Whit Babcock, VT's AD, know each other from when Babcock was at UC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
