IU will have to settle for and up and coming coach (years of rebuilding) unless they become willing to put out some really Big Bucks (shorter rebuilding).

Which will it be? IU has always gone cheap and I predict that is what they will do this time.

We still will not know what the fall out- from the NCAA will be. The very best will want to know that before commiting.

I'M NOT AGAINST AN UP AND COMMING COACH....I JUST DON'T THINK THAT HE IS OUT THERE RIGHT NOW...PITINO COULD KEEP THE MOMENTUM GOING UNTIL WE FIND THE RIGHT GUY

McCraken was a racist. Good coach, but he also lost us players like oscar robertson who could have given ucla a run for their money. Bottomline, each of our coaches had major problems.

you might have missed it because there were no actual NCAA penalities.

half the team was suspended for their part in a phone card scandal in 2003. im sketchy on the details but i think it was kind of an oblivious move by wright. the reason why im against hiring him is because IU needs to go with someone that is the squeakiest of squeaky clean.

i dont even want a head coach that has had a parking ticket before, much less an actual scandal.

I think Roth is the kind of kid that was coming even you were the coach , Sampson didnt have to burn to many minutes with Roth.

Ben , I live in Louisville and know for a fact that it would be next to impossible to get him out of there . For one his WIFE absolutely loves Louisville and the state . Two he is into the horse biz . Three he told Jim Rome that he was going to coach for another 5 years and hang it up.He also has a great relationship with ad Tom jurich , who happened to be atheletic director of the year last year.(jurich also turned us down before we got Greenspan)

SO he says that HIS recruitment was totally done the right way, hmmmm, something sounds a little fishy here. Fuck the NCAA for lying about our coach

ND's early football signees were in constant contact with one another throughout the season. Certain people developed into psuedo-program contacts and may be one reason why nearly the entire class stuck together despite ND's dismal performance on the field. So, with that precedent, I would say that IU's current b-ball recruits can (and should) be banding together and continuing to "recruit" each other, if for nothing else that to begin developing a relationship prior to becoming teammates.

Thank goodness. I was about to be offended that you didn't invite the rest of us to your kegger.

There was another traditional team that once took a chance on an up and comer from Army who built the program into a national powerhouse and won three championshps with that coach from Army.

Take your pick: Indiana or Duke. That's a pretty good track record with "young up and coming talent" that you've so decidedly and ignorantly panned.

Lol Pitino isn't going back to the NBA especially after he turns 60. But agreed wrong coach for us

Re: Roth solid with commitment to Indiana

BrianK — Wed, 12 Mar 2008 12:01:55 -0000

Lol your knocking those other coaches for being too oung and not enough experience but remember Kentucky picked up Pitino as a young up and comer. Pitino is too imbedded in Louisville. Being at Louisville is not killing his chances of winning a championship, they have won a couple and just went to final four a couple years ago. His team this year has a good shot. We need to get a younger up and comer who is gonna be here awhile

Of course I am joking.

I was commenting on Ben's "Pitino" chant and offering other bottom of the barrel choices ..........glad to see you guys know the bottom of the barrel when you see it.

During the NCAA mess w KS I reviewed all the listed sanctions on the NCAA website. I saw Majerus etc and a Nova sanction in early 2000's but nothing on Wright. The Nova isssue was for bringing recruits to the NBA locker room and introducing to coaches and players of the '76ers. I could have missed something however.

Branch McCracken for next IU coach!

Re: Roth solid with commitment to Indiana

CoveyDale — Wed, 12 Mar 2008 11:02:54 -0000

Leonard Hamilton...? I sincerely hope you're joking. The chair I'm sitting in right now would be a better option at head coach than Hamilton.

As for Jay Wright, he cleaned up his own mess at Nova. The phone card scandal was under his watch.

Its impossible to say that Barnes hasn't done much with his talent... Look at his team this year. He loses the POY last year and has been a top 10 team all year. Yeah DJ Augustin was a McDonald's All-American but he was overshadowed by Durant last year. If you look at guys on UT, Connor Atchley was the laughing stock of Texas basketball when he came in freshman year. Now they're talking about him playing in the NBA after his senior season next year. He devlops players as good as any coach in the country in my opinion. Yeah he hasn't won the "big one" but he recruits great talkent that leaves after 1 or 2 years and he recruits mediocre talent and develops them into great college basketball players. He's proven this as Texas has been a top 25 team for the past 10 years since he's been in Austin.
