But, why would they need a search firm if they are already getting Donovan?
It would buy them time to let the NBA season end...

I don't understand why Indiana hasn't put the full court press on Archie Miller yet. That is a winning combination, he would do VERY well there.
Could very well be under-the-radar conversations already been taking place since Crean's creaning.

The one thing a coaching carousel is full of is the non-denial denials. Although this does seem strange if they're paying out for a search firm.

Some of them even seem to feel that Archie Miller is below them. They're thinking Donovan (absolutely not happening), Marshall, or Alford. Archie would satisfy most, but is seen as something of a backup candidate. The only out-of-the-box candidate getting some vocal support is Dane Fife. I think Drew would be seen as an okay hire. Mack and especially Holtmann would have the fan base groaning, even though both would be obvious home run hires in my eyes.

BOOM! Feed my ego.
Drew feels like Tom Crean to me. I said before I'd be shocked if it were him, though I'd walk that back a bit now. Not shocked, just surprised. He doesn't seem like a fit at IU to me. He wins games, though.
Was not sure where to post this. I guess it can relate to the basketball world's constant maligning of the Big Ten, yet our conference always proves the haters wrong in March. Will the ACC/Pac12/Big East lovers ever learn???
The coaches in this conference are phenomenal.

As if I needed more confirmation for how I feel about hoosiers. :tsk:
I hope they end up with Alford. Easily the worst coach of that group.
That just seems like kind of a weird fit to me for some reason.

Wow, good hire by LSU
Louisiana is a sneaky good basketball state. I think he fits pretty well. Wonder if VCU grabs the guy from Rice.
I have no idea why Wade would go to LSU. Seems like he could have held out for a better situation. But then I thought Grant to Alabama and Shaka to Texas were not the jobs to leave for either. VCU guys seem to like picking football schools.
LSU guys I know here love Wade, but they're concerned that as an "East Coast' guy, he'll look to return when a bigger job opens over there. Clemson alum, so maybe some worry there if Browell gets fired. I think it's a pretty good hire, considering their other rumored options were Crean and Kermit Davis
Between NOLA, Baton Rouge, and even into Houston and Florida, he can probably find enough athletic hoopers to play more of a "havoc" style if he chooses.

The Creaner becomes the Creanee
It would be great if the IU press release just said, "Today, Tom has been Creaned."
