I wouldn't follow Coach K that's a career killer.Originally posted by kcshocker11 View Post
UNC normally might be a top job but if they get hit hard, it will be awhile until it's top three.

IU has all the makings of a sleeping giant. Alabama football went 17 years in between titles. IU is going on 30.
Part of that is due to their last national championship coach not hanging on as long as Knight did.
The other part of that is that Alabama never kept a failed coach longer than 4 years. If IU had followed the same strategy, they would have saved the last two years of the Mike Davis regime and this past year of Crean's tenure (if you allow for the 2 extra years everybody excepts his performance from in the beginning).
That means IU would be in the 3rd year of Coach #4 (post Knight) and one year away from knowing if IU needed to move on to Coach #5 (post Knight). A good AD doesn't need more than 4 years to evaluate a coach.
Additionally, 'bama jettisoned a young coach with a new extension and went and actively lobbied Saban away from the Dolphins. In other words, they did not sit around waiting for failed coaches to magically "get it" in year 7, and they certainly didn't pay some know-nothing search firm to go out and identify candidates (that's what the AD is for).
IU basketball may have the historical relevance of Alabama football. Like Alabama, it may have the structural advantage to regain that relevance someday.
Unfortunately for IU basketball, it does not have the leadership that Alabama football has.Comment

Sign me up, too. If my basketball coaching career ended after 1 year with 5MM in the bank and millions more coming in a buyout, I think I could live with it.Originally posted by Kung Wu View PostComment

Excellent. This way I could continue Coach K's tradition of not talking to the media and just have you deal with that crap.Originally posted by Kung Wu View PostComment
