Coaching search hilarity.
No, not too much yet, but much to come, I'm sure. Seth Davis, who covered himself in glory during IU's last coaching search (telling an Iowa reporter that Steve Alford to IU was 90 percent likely), su...
Bennett seems to be the talking heads' choice.
I haven't had much luck finding Seth Davis-style prognostication thus far in the coaching search. While not claiming any insight into the process, Andy Katz of ESPN (on TV but also even before Sampson...
Bob Kravitz: Indeed, as dumb as he looks.
A few weeks back, during the football coaching search, I pondered whether Bob Kravitz is intellectually dishonest, or just as dumb as he looks. I am leaning toward the latter.I will throw a link up, b...
Surprising lack of idiocy.
Other than the Kravitz article I discussed a while back, I haven't stumbled across much coaching search idiocy. Perhaps reporters were chastened by IU's out-of-nowhere selection of Kelvin Sampson last...
The Chicago Sun-Times steps to the plate and other miscellany.

Coaching search and other housekeeping.
There isn't much well-sourced info out there on the coaching search. The less-than-credible New York Daily News reports that Scott Skiles will interview for the job. Skiles is unemployed, so it certai...
Quick thoughts on the chaos.
I don't think it's chaos, really. None of us really know what is happening on the inside. Still, I'm glad that I've not had much computer time since Thursday and that I am following the IU coaching se...
Tom Crean.
It's going to be said often, but this is a solid hire. Not an obvious home run, but not a stretch by any means. Crean is 42 years old and has a Final Four on his resume and eight years as a head coach...
Very pleased.
Before this afternoon, I had not been online since just minutes after my "Tom Crean" post Tuesday evening. Of course, I'm trying to get up to speed, but I can see from the comments that my post may ha...
