  • Rick Pitino to IU?
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

i for one do not want to believe it.

i don't know why but i just can't stand the guy. i don't know what it is but i hate louisville more than uk now and its because of pitino...if he came to iu it would make me sick...

...and besides he's too old. i don't want to be going through this coaching change shit for another 20 years. they need to get a young guy in there now that will be solid for 15 to 20 years minimum.

will pitino win right off the bat...probably. but that is not what we need right now. we need to just be consistent. we need our OWN pitino. we need someone young who will come in and do what he did with uk...only not leave 9 years into it...he's a money chaser and that is not what we need.

to me he just does not fit the iu program.

I think Kevin Stallings would be a good fit. Also I see him coming to IU in a heartbeat. Can you imagine recruiting in the SEC with the Vanderbilt name with all the other power programs?

I think Stallings is a great fit as a coach. My only worry with him is the personality side of things. To coach at Indiana University (Knight proved this, as did Davis and Sampson as they broke under the pressure) you have to be the jack of all trades. You have to be able to handle the media, win games, stay clean, handle the at times outrageous fan demands (good and bad), and recruit at a high level. Its a very demanding job that isn't as easy as people make it out to be. I think that may be a turn off for some. It also makes me understand enemy's infatuation with Pearl. He would thrive in that environment, but I just don't see him leaving UT.
“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."

...you hit it right on the head my man...

...that is exactly who pearl is. there will never be a bigger stage for him than the iu program next season and it will be up to him and him alone to do with that stage as he pleases.

I think it makes sense to us, but I think he is very comfortable and having a blast down at UT. He can be himself and have his huge personality and not have to worry about the media scrutiny. I'm sure if he says something stupid, the media there would still rather talk about UT spring football. Now, it all depends on his ego and if he truly wants to be under the type of microscope that he would be under at IU.

I'd want him there almost to see the look on the IU faithful's faces the first time a team full of guys wearing headbands, long socks, and wristbands with their names on the back of their jerseys jogs out and runs 40 minutes of a full court press defense. It'd be priceless.

I personally don't want Stallings. No offense to you Purdue fans, but I would have trouble with an ex-Purdue player becoming our coach, I would rather have Dakich.

stallings has done a fine job at no expectations Vandy. How would he do at a B-ball mecca? The guy has no charisma (shocking for a turdue grad huh?) and would be a lousy recruiter by IU standards.


no way.

no way.

He has 3 four star recruits lined up (two for '08 and one for '09). Plus, he has about 3 or 4 players that would start and be huge for IU. Foster would probably be the best player on the team and Ogilvy would for sure start.

He has done well given the academic standards and rigors of Vandy. He would be excellent at IU. He would have a team, and not a collection of individuals. He also wouldn't cheat to get his players.

I could do a better job with these current IU players than the predecessors. That ain't saying much.


no way to Stallings. Good coach. Not good enough.

They wouldn't play any harder for you than they did Dakich. And they wouldn't be any more disciplined than with Sampson.

There needs to be a complete overhaul. There are some good players, but none of them are smart players and team players. Too many shoot first, want to be superstars on the team. A coach like Stallings would change that in a heart beat. He would bring in good, solid smart players (not necessarily a bunch of 5 stars) that play the right way and win.

There are only a few coaches in America (maybe 5) that can assemble the type of players that IU fans demand, and those coaches aren't going anywhere (Coach K, Williams, Howland, Donovan, Calipari, Pitino). Its time to wake up from the dream land and understand that IU cannot operate like UNC or Duke or UCLA. A coach like Bennett or Stallings is what IU is going to have to get.

I don't think that we get a great coach this time around. Not with the NCAA looming and the recruits leaving probably. I think you are foolish to believe otherwise. Hopefully I am wrong. :goiu:

why not?


do you not realize how bad UCLA was before Howland? UNC with Doherty???


IU gets the right coach and they will rejoin their rightful place among the elite.

If you knew UB, Rockspeed, you would understand that UB needs DAILY reminders of his ridiculous contrived bullshit. It won't be easy, but I'm prepared to do most of the heavy lifting, with a little help from my friends.

UB, you are a swine. You vulgar little maggot. Don't you know that you are pathetic? You worthless bag of filth. As we say in Indiana, I'll bet you couldn't pour piss out of a boot with instructions on the heel. You are a canker. A sore that won't go away. But you will be ignored soon... very, very soon.
