I'm not real excited by most of the names mentioned so far--namely past ball players from IU to be new head coach. Would consider Alford--he did things at Iowa that for the most part Iowa had never experienced but all at once the Iowa fans became Duke or North Carolina fans and demanded Iowa climb to a spot of reverence that all fans would be in awe of!!!
My short list would be headed by Rick Pitino, Don't know his status unless pursued.Tubby Smith and Thad Matta I would question as well. And its to bad Matt Painter is at Purdue---he has been extremely impressive.
Pitino would be a good choice, he was in town before Sampson was hired,word was his wife wasn't too crazy about the deal.Bruce Pearl would be a good choice IMO, but getting him from Tenn. would probably be next to impossible.I just hope IU doesn't self impose infractions, I.E. post tournement play, that would hurt the players who have done nothing.I have to believe that RMK is laughing his %@$ off!
