"hearing" from this board. These journalists are shameless.
See this Underwood stuff 2 ways:
Or, it's a play against who Whitman really wants. You gonna make me wait? K, gonna go after someone else then. Either they bite, or hopefully Whitman gets someone he's comfortable with.

Other way to look at it - Underwood and Drew would have been guys on anyone's list last year. Maybe we're not starting from scratch.
Let's just say we get underwood. Does Evans regret the decision not to come here? He will be with his third coach in 3 years. I think if he comes here we're not talking about hiring his coach but who we play next in the tourney
Not if it's Head Coach Anthony Grant
When I see this gif all I can focus on is the guy wiping a booger on him.
X's and O's wise, he's an elite coach. He runs a beautiful, explosive offensive system. Besides Marshall and Bennett (who runs a much uglier, but equally efficient system), no one on our list besides potentially Monty Williams or Eric Musselman would match Underwood in terms of strategy.
Personality wise, he seems congenial and articulate, but he's not going to connect with recruits the way Archie Miller or Cuonzo Martin will. He'd need some top-notch recruiters on his staff.
This would be a very good hire. Underwood could be Bo Ryan-like in his ability to outmaneuver even the murderer's row of Big Ten coaches.
Things have changed.
Underwood to be announced today. Shortly.
SORRY KATHY
How is everyone not freaking out right now? It's Underwood officially
Yep definitely possible. Sounds like Whitman has a lot of irons in the fire. Makes me think he's played out all these scenarios already and is prepared.I tend to agree. And Whitman is not incompetent and doesn't want to be left with nobody if he strikes out his top 1-2 choices (John Groce recruiting, anyone?). Underwood would be a very good hire, though, and I would have no complaints.
But I mean, it's not like he's going to be meeting with Bennett or Marshall today. Maybe he's waiting on Monty to make up his mind. Who knows? Some of these coaches (Miller) might be waiting on Indiana as well.
