For the second time in as many days, an IU basketball shooting guard has entered the transfer portal. Redshirt junior Parker Stewart is the latest member of the Indiana backcourt to test the waters for other opportunities as the Hoosiers go through a head coach change. Stewart told Jeff Goodman of Stadium he will continue to consider Indiana as an option. “Will still consider Indiana depending on the coach, but looking for spot to play this year,” Goodman wrote on Twitter after conversing with Stewart. The 6-foot-5 Stewart announced his transfer from Tennessee Martin to Indiana in December and never…

March is when college basketball coaches distinguish themselves, but there is probably a reasonable line of thinking that says a coach shouldn’t be identified as a serious candidate based on one good run in the NCAA Tournament. So with that dichotomy in mind, let’s take a look at some under or off the radar names who may or may not have coached their way into the IU basketball conversation — but have clearly become a name to watch in the broader national sense. History will show that these were some of the up-and-coming or otherwise hot names in the business…

We are one week into the search for Indiana’s next head basketball coach. Any idea that AD Scott Dolson fired Archie Miller as part of a pre-established plan that would be executed in a matter of days with laser precision has fallen by the wayside.  Instead, to this point we have learned more about who isn’t taking the job than who is. While perhaps disappointing to some, none of this is particularly noteworthy or unusual in the first week of a search.  The early names still on the board generating the most buzz are currently out of college coaching.  Of…

The noise has been loud each and every time Indiana has had a vacancy at the head coach position since Bob Knight left. “Hire an Indiana guy!” Never has there been an obvious choice in that regard, someone who has had elite success at the college level like Roy Williams at Kansas before he went to North Carolina.  The lack of a clear cut alumnus candidate has always made this an incredibly divisive topic for Indiana fans.  In a strange twist, it seems only a former IU fan, Brad Stevens, could truly unite this fan base, something that became clear…

Ready to put your money where your mouth is on those Brad Stevens to IU rumors?  Here is your chance. BetOnline has published betting odds for who will be named the next men’s head basketball coach at Indiana University. At the top of the board with 2/1 odds is Texas Tech head coach Chris Beard, who coincidentally is coaching an NCAA Tournament game today in Bloomington.  The former Bob Knight assistant declined to discuss the possibility when asked earlier this week. Baylor head coach Scott Drew is next with 3/1 odds, while former Michigan coach John Beilein is third at…

You know the story all too well by now.  The entire 2021 NCAA Tournament is being held within the state of Indiana, including games at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall in Bloomington. A record-setting nine Big Ten schools have been chosen to compete in the event. Illinois, Iowa, Maryland, Michigan, Michigan State, Ohio State, Purdue, Rutgers and Wisconsin will all be taking part in this year’s tournament. And IU won’t be a part of the show. While the Indiana program attends to finding its next head coach, we thought we would give you some other angles to look for, root for,…

When he was approached four years ago about the Indiana job opening, Boston Celtics head coach Brad Stevens made it clear he was not interested and no one really doubted him. Are things different this time? Stevens is now in year eight in Boston and his feelings about that job as well as Indiana’s willingness to go after him aggressively may have both changed.  At least that is what one well known podcaster believes. Fox Sports’ Mark Titus, an Indianapolis area native who once played AAU basketball for Stevens, went in depth on Wednesday night with his co-host Tate Frazier…
