IU Options

I, like many IU fans, hope that Steve Alford decides to leave Iowa for Indiana.  WOW!  The thought just makes me excited.  However, every plan needs a plan B and every hope needs to have... Well, if Alford doesn't move to Bloomington, I would be nearly happy to see:

1.)  RICK BARNES (Texas):  OK so it might be hard for him to leave success with the Longhorns.  But let's face it, BARNES could enjoy not having to compete with a strong football program.

2.)  MARK FEW (GONZAGA):  Let's face it, FEW has taken Zaga from who? to wow!.  He has proven his recruiting skills and should have an easier time bringing athletes to a Mid-West, established program.

3.)  TOM CREAN (MARQUETTE):  CREAN knows Big Ten ball and would be a natural fit.  He snagged one of Indiana's darlings (D.James-Richmond).  CREAN makes a distant 3rd runner-up.

4.)  BOBBY KIGHT (TEXAS TECH)

Actually, I'd put KNIGHT as my number one choice if I didn't know better.

Tramitised students ( adults )- because people are screeming at them or throwing things - are hard enough to try and deal with in this world. Motivate with care and concern - not anger and fear.
