TheWatShot Posted September 9, 2020 Report Share Posted September 9, 2020 15 minutes ago, Billingsley99 said: I like to stir things up a little and get some discussion going. Donovan calls IU and says I want to be the coach at Indiana beginning 21-22. You arebthe AD do you take him up 9n the offer and make it happen or say we have our guy? You ask Donovan what it would take to get him here this season and then tell Archie Miller to pack his bags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IU Scott Posted September 9, 2020 Report Share Posted September 9, 2020 I don't think we will have to worry about it because I don't see him coaching in college again. He will get one of the NBA openings this year and would be nice if it is the Pacers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t consider the coaching ability of TC to be even remotely close to that of Billy Donovan. Not even a sniff. Super high demand for a guy like Donovan without question. Yep. Both coaches are on different levels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah when ESPN released that list of the top 50 coaches in college basketball they had Billy at #1 ahead of Coach K, Roy, and Pitino. Crean wasn't on the list at all.

That was his first NBA head coach job and they had quite a roster at that point in time. I'm sure philly with 2 stars and being in the East makes him favor it more.

cybergates Posted September 9, 2020 Report Share Posted September 9, 2020 Surprised that there's not much difference in record between Nate (4 years with Pacers) and Billy (last 4 years with Thunder - excludes 1st year when he still had Durant) given almost everyone (including me) thinks Billy is a far superior coach.

Don't get the love for Ty Lue because he only won because of Lebron. Also I would not really want to coach Philly because I don't think the roster was put together well. They have all wings and big's nd no real perimeter players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IU Scott Posted September 9, 2020 Report Share Posted September 9, 2020 Just saw on the scroll on ESPN that the Pacers are looking to talk with Becky Hammons assistant in San Antonio. What would you think of having the first woman HC coaching for the Pacers. If she is totally qualified I don't think I would have a problem with it. I always thought Pat Summit could have coached a men's college team so why not try it. I would wonder if it would make it more difficult to bring in free agents if they don't feel they would want to play for a women. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
