He\'s a second year coach.  He plays in what I consider a "second-tier" mid-major.  The Colonial isn\'t exactly CUSA or the Horizon League.  I get that he engineered a great tourney victory last year, and almost beat Pitt in the 2nd round.  I get that he\'s been under the tutelage of Billy Donovan.  All well and good.<br><br>But he\'s got a guy on his team that doesn\'t belong in the Colonial.  Eric Maynor is REALLY good.  And he\'s not Grant\'s recruit.  So, is it the coaching or is it Jeff Capel\'s recruiting?<br><br>I\'m not saying it\'s one or the other.  I\'m just saying that\'s too big of a question for a program like Indiana to attempt to answer.<br><br>Who has VCU beaten in Grant\'s time?  You could argue they really haven\'t beaten anyone they shouldn\'t have this year.  A win over Houston is nice.  Their one quality win this year is at Maryland, which is a GREAT win.  So, we\'re hanging our hat on 2 quality wins in 2 years?  When the reason for those wins could be a player that could start for a lot of Top 25 teams?  When that player wasn\'t recruited by said coach?</div>\

You have to look at the strength of the entire league, and not just the top team in the league (as with Memphis and Butler in the C-USA and Horizon, respectively).  The CAA will probably field two teams this year in the tournament, which is a bad year for the CAA.  They have recently been counted on four three to four teams with a few others sitting on the bubble (remember, George Mason and UNC-Wilmington are CAA schools).  The Horizon gets two schools in only if Wright State upsets Butler.<br><br>Second...beating Maryland at Maryland isn\'t that great a deal this year.  American did it.

	 <div id="dsq-comment-message-207838" class="dsq-comment-message">We need to look at recent history for this hire. If we consider IU to be on the level historically of UCLA, Kansas, Kentucky and UNC then we should look at the blue print as all of those school have hired new coaches in the last 5-8 years or so, and all have been successful (Jury still out on Gillespe I suppose).<br><br>None of those schools went the "young up and coming" route. They all went with a somewhat battle tested coach from a major conference, but not necessarily a major program (Williams from Kansas the exception).<br><br>Howland came from Pitt (Big East), Self came from Illinois (Big Ten), Gillespe from A&M (Big 12) and Williams from Kansas (Big 12). You could argue IU already did this with Sampson, but I would say two things. 1) Minus the violations he was being successful on the court. 2) The blueprint seems to work, you just have to actually do your homework and work it correctly.<br><br>With all that being said, I would start the search with this list before going the "young unproven route". I\'m sure I\'m missing some, so feel free to add.<br><br>In no particular order:<br>Crean (Big East)<br>Wright (Big East)<br>Pearl (SEC...Assuming he\'s clean NCAA wise)<br>Matta (Big Ten)<br>Hewitt (ACC)<br>Barnes (Don\'t really like him, but he fits the criteria here)<br><br>Just my two cents. If we go the young route, I would then go with Miller or Bennett.</div>\

Not to say Purdue fans with regional players are not happy right now. <br><br>My point is that Miller has no experience winning recruiting wars in the top 100 and appears to have limited relationships outside a small subset of Ohio. He may have inherited those from the program built earlier by Gillen. Prosser, Matta. Before putting him #1 we need to assess his recruiting scope and success.<br><br>Applying the same logic to the limited info I have on Bennett and Wright however I get a very different and more comforting feeling about their desire, energy , experience , relationships and ability to take us National (or International in Bennett\'s case) when recruiting.

You have to look at the fact that Bennett has done a great job at WSU where there was no previous success.  He recruited Penny, Tucker, devin harris, and Butch just to name a few while at Wisconsin. He played in the NBA and overseas in New Zealand I believe. He is what I call a system coach that can find players that fit his system while not always needing to rely on the one and done player.  He has basketball experience since birth, and is a proven recruiter.  Just think a minute where he coaches Washington State a middle of the pack to bottom feeder Pac10 basketball school that is on the west coast where there is limited tv exposure to the rest of the nation, not to mention the fact that he has to go up against UCLA and Stanford for recruiting every year. Quick name a player on their roster...................exactly you can\'t and he still wins just think what he can do at IU where I would say half the recruitng is the name INDIANA on the jersey..give him the keys and let him drive, plus he\'s not a bad singer either....http://wsucougars.cstv.com/sports/m-baskbl/mtt/bennett_tony00.html</div>\
