He made the tourney three out of eight seasons and didn’t finish above .500 in the Big Ten in five out of eight seasons. Come on. That’s not good.

No IU guy with experience fits those parameters. So if we go IU guy, take a chance on someone who has great experiences and has potential...like Fife. No other IU guy with experience has the ceiling we want. Frank could be a wild card but he has no college experience. Different world. I don't disagree with your reasoning at all. I wouldn't have Fife at the top of my list, but I absolutely would interview him and give him a chance to "wow me" if I were AD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billingsley99 Posted March 12, 2021 Report Share Posted March 12, 2021 Just passing on info I hear. One of my biggest clients an IU grad and basketball lover, has a relative that played for RMK. told me he has heard that IU will attempt to make Stevens the highest paid coach in all of sports. I don't buy it but passing it on so if by chance it's true and he accepts i could gloat. I don't see this as accurate info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Belichick makes like $20 million per year. I don't see IU paying anywhere close to that. Maybe $10 million but that would still be surprising. I know your info is just what you heard and you don't believe it yourself, just trying to make sure I'm understanding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really, I would have to see how well he can recruit top high school players. He has built his teams on transfers and don't think you can do that at IU. I don't mind a couple on the team but it is hard to sustain success only on transfers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeking6 Posted March 12, 2021 Report Share Posted March 12, 2021 I'll just say this. Loved Fife as a player don't get me wrong but no. No. No. No. That would be as small time as it gets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCHoosier32 Posted March 12, 2021 Report Share Posted March 12, 2021 Fife is way too risky for how important this hire is. As many have said, if not for being an IU grad, he wouldn't be considered. So why is an IU grad such an important thing. Bring back the old culture? It's just not the same ayway. We live in a much different time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IU Scott Posted March 12, 2021 Report Share Posted March 12, 2021 For people who like Pitino as the next coach his team is playing on ESPN News in their championship game. I saw that Iona was a 9 seed in their conference but it has to do with them only playing 9 conference games they are 6-3 in the conference and playing Niagara who is the 5 seed with a 7-8 conference record.

Things about Fife - Guy once bit an opposing players ear to win a battle for the ball. -Went to IU when he could of gone anywhere, including where his brother played. -Was the youngest Head Coach in Division 1 - and, his times were very fundamental -He was adaptive and self aware enough to know he needed to learn more- so he became an assistant for an all time great coach. -Worked his way up to lead assistant and is also a lead recruiter -Is crazy enough to spend 4 hrs with Hoosierhysterics for podcast. He loves attention and the spotlight. -Was basically the leader of the last final 4 team at IU and navigated turmoil through his years at IU. -Loves IU , loves IU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
