Welcome to Our Hoosier Board!

Most of the posters here have been around for nearly a decade now. You'll find their knowledge and insight to be second to none. We have a really strong community and value everyone's opinions.

Feel free to jump into any thread and voice your opinion with conviction. We love heated debates and even some fanbase ribbing from time to time. We pride ourselves on the lack of moderation needed to make this board successful.

Please remember that we have been around many years and have an astute ability to tell the difference between an immature, childish, trash-talking troll and a passionate fan voicing his or her opinion. It is at the discretion of Jazen and myself whether any moderating actions should be taken at any given time. It's a very, very rare thing. In other words, no worries....you'll be fine!

Cheers,
sirbrianwilson

If the NCAA hammers us this summer it is in all likelyhood that Sampson will be gone. Now we're really screwed. Who will come coach at IU while we are under sanctions? Some names to consider

Mark Turgeon - yeah, he's only been at A&M for 1 year, but I'd kill for him

Lickliter - same as above

Jamie Dixon - I actually think he is Pitt boy at heart, but worth a shot

Dane Fife - really, just because I've met him and I really like him and would be willing to wait for him to grow into his own. I really do believe he is going to be an excellent coach. IPFW is in their first year of D1 league play and they are 7-6 in conference.

Fife is the only one of those IU should want. Just not sure he's ready for sucha step up in jobs.


Dakich is hired, brings in Fife to season him and then hands over the job in a few years

Think mid-major. I find it hard to believe that a coach already at a major program would want to come to a school on major probation, loss of scholarships, or just in a bad situation all together. IU has a big name, and would be appealing in almost any other circumstance, but things are worse now than they were the last years of the Davis reign.

Miller from Xavier
Lowery from SIU
Davis at Drake
“He’s always been a guy — maybe to a fault — he would always try to do what I said. That seems like something simple in coaching, but those are the guys I hang my hat on. We’ve had some guys in our program, we had a couple guys that felt I had a bias towards E’Twaun Moore. And they were right — I do have a bias towards E’Twaun Moore. I like guys that go to class, that are academic All-Americans, that come early, that stay late, that love the game of basketball. I am biased towards those guys. And I’m biased towards Rob Hummel. But I’m also biased towards their habits, their work ethic, and how they carry themselves."

Davis from Drake would be a good choice.
Even if Purdue keeps up its success the rest of the year, Coach Painter will have a tough time getting NCOY because of what Davis has done at Drake. I also don't think IU is going to pull any coaches from other Big Ten teams, I really doubt Lickliter or Thad Matta (as posted on the other thread) would make that move to another team in the same conference.

I'm not sure if there really are any good "elite" level type coaches available that deserve the IU job.

Maybe Pat Knight will return and Bobby will be the AD. Perfect fit.

you guys....come on...it is bruce pearl as the #1 choice, no doubt about it...after that it's up for grabs...i too love the thought of a dane fife type coming in but he's just not ready yet and we need a proven winner like pearl. he can coach like a mutha, he can recruit like a mutha, he motivates the homebase like no otha...for me it's pearl or bust.

...now would he come here, that is the question. if it wasn't for his loyalty i think he would in a heartbeat. we're talking about a guy that stayed at division II USI for about five years longer than he should have and wisconsin milwaukee for about two years longer than he should have...

...in his best interest he should come to iu. face it bruce you will be the number one banana instead of the number three banana at ut (the guy is behind the women's basketball coach there for crying out loud!!!). pearl is a guy who likes to be out there. what other coach has painted his body and face and cheered with the student section? what other coach has sumo wrestled someone at their march madness.

this is our chance iu...THROW EVERYTHING YOU HAVE AT PEARL AND WE WILL BE A FREAKIN DYNASTY AGAIN!!!...i guarantee it.

Pearl would be a God-send to Indiana University. But think of the overhaul he would have to do. With this stuff coming out, White and Gordon are 100% gone now, without a doubt IMO. Ebanks' eligibility is in question. Depending on who the blacked out name is, IU could have been playing a year of basketball with an ineligible player which could lead to further sanctions.

There is no reason to believe a coach at a high profile school right now would risk all of that to go to IU. Without the sanctions, definitely a possibility to get Pearl or a few others, but this is a tough situation. The best bet is to do what OSU did when facing these types of things and go get a good mid-major coach and hope for the best. My guess though is that Dakich is your coach for the next year or two while the athletic department fills in the many holes that should be there.

I would love to have Pearl, but no way he leaves Tennessee. I just can't see it happening.

uh - look at what he did at TN in a year. you didn't even know TN had a basketball team before he arrived.

He would be Turdue's worst nightmare.

I said Pearl would be a God-send. He could do an overhaul and turn IU around, but the playing field isn't the same in those situations. I don't think UT was facing any major NCAA violations. I, for one, would love to see Pearl down at IU. I think the fans deserve an energetic coach who will have his team playing well. I, unlike you, don't have a blind hatred for another school. The Purdue/IU rivalry IMO would have its greatest decade yet if it was Pearl vs Painter. I'd love every second of it. Now, when it was Purdue against IU, I'd hate it, and wish he wasn't there because it'd be a war in every game, but on the whole, IU and its fans deserve a good coach who doesn't bring the program down.

I just doubt Pearl's willingness to go to a program that would be a definite step back IMO. He has a strong base down at UT to build something big. Plus, with their athletic department, he will get paid well and will have great facilities and everything else he could dream of.
