College Basketball Open Discussion

Feels obvious to me. Pretty clear he isn’t building anything there and you’re missing the tournament more than not.

As a former resident of the thumb having a four year school in Port Huron would have been pretty cool. SC4 has some nice programs and collaborations at least.

now there’s a fit. Jesuit school, back in the Big East, close to Ann Arbor, good spot to restart Patrick’s career.

Am I crazy for thinking this is a perfect Beilein job? He could even get a chance to coach Jamal Cain!!!

Insidethehall.com is reporting that Beard is the favorite to become IU’s coach. Whoa.

It means the odds went from 25:1 (ish) to 2:1 and the book took it off the board presumably because it looked like a situation where inside info could exploit the situation, or at least the move was fast enough that they wanted dust to settle.

Would be a fantastic hire for IU but I don’t see why Beard would want it. He already makes top-5 money and he is a Texas native.

Yeah, I don’t really get why he’d make the move. Although if he was the mystery coach that spent four days agonizing over the Michigan job before saying no, maybe he is open to the Midwest.

Yeah if he really was the guy that considered Michigan it makes a lot of sense. He’s doing great at TTU but it’s still not a top job. And he’s a Knight disciple right?

Maybe he likes having electricity.

Just kidding (and don’t mean to make light of a very serious situation)…

The IU fans in that thread don’t seem too excited by Beard. I think I’d be pretty fired up about a man that nearly won a national title with Texas Tech. Apparently for a lot of them it’s Stevens or bust?
