Who's going to be the new IU coach
- Thread starter TwinDegrees2
- Start date
Pearl, Self, and Sampscum would be loved at IU now that it's legal to buy players. I can see Calbert on their short list.
Only way he's back in this state is when the Pacers and Boston play, and he's at his lake home in Northern Indiana.
Oo this is gonna sting those Indinia fans:Good article on their suspects.
Who could be Indiana's next basketball coach? Likely (and unlikely) candidates
Could Brad Stevens take the reins in Bloomington with Mike Woodson expected to leave the Hoosiers after this season?www.espn.com
"Indiana is not the destination program it once was, even for in-state prospects like Haralson and Mullins."
Bryce Drew would be their best bet but unlikely to get a call. Too clean for IU.
- 2× Horizon League tournament champion (2013, 2015)
- 4× Horizon League regular season champion (2012, 2013, 2015, 2016)
- 3x WAC tournament champion (2021, 2023, 2024)
- 2x WAC regular season champion (2021, 2024)
- 3× Horizon League Coach of the Year (2012, 2015, 2016)
Bryce Drew too clean? You know Vandy paid for Darius Garland and Shittu right?
Calbert isn't on the list. He wants nothing to do with coaching. I think be likes his role as a development guy.
I doubt any IU fan cares about what a coach does outside of his job or his personal life or his past. Take a look at our past presidential election and how indiana voted!
All IU fans want is a winning program. If their team wins, all else is forgotten and forgiven.

McCollum would be a perfect fit as IU plays more like a division 2 program anyway.
So if you recognize that too, exactly what about Brad Stevens would have "the college basketball world crap its pants"?
The delusion of Indinia fans.
At this point that hire would maybe be 4th best in the conference.
Beard or Scott Drew make sense, Beard can Coach, hope they bring in Drew, great recruiter so/so Coach, I do realize they won a title with him though.
The dude is considered to be one of the brightest basketball minds on the planet. From x's and o's to roster construction. Plus a name that'd immediately be able to gain attention to recruits.
Don't disagree that Steven's is one of the brightest minds in basketball but he has been removed from the world of CBB for 12 years and counting and almost 4 years from coaching in the NBA. I think there would be a learning curve getting back into CBB because it is a different world.....look at the HoF coaches who this new world has left in its wake.
Not saying it wouldn't shock the world but would be curious who he would put on his staff to support him and how it would work.
He's been away a while but I don't think it'd hurt just with how much he's still been around the game. It'd be interesting to see what kind of strategy he'd bring. He seemed to always coach a good defense. But his offense would be interesting. It'd definitely be more modern than Woody(which isn't difficult).
They might get Ray McCallum...he's available and an assistant at Tulane. With the current status of the fan base (largely uneducated) and their belief that IU is still "that place" everyone wants to come, most coaches would rather be somewhere else. And there's still that Bob Knight Curse that's still being funded every year.
Only pants being crapped would be clown pants.
But those are so full from $h!tt!ng the bed for the last 25 years, where would it all go???!!!
Just informed that Dolson is putting a huge offer out to, and intent on bringing
Dennis Gates, head coach, Missouri
to Ass Hall as the new IU coach.
Baylor is struggling a little this year, he’s sort of a Indiana guy, just a name to watch I would think.
