I honestly thought we might hire him...But it was concerning how his indiana tenure took a downward turn at the end

Like someone said this morning..."it's a good think the selection committee isn't made up of Alabama fans, the bracketologists have us in and the fans are screaming NIT ". Lol , but making the tourney this year would be a step we need.

I listened to a long Crean interview on Pardon My Take last week and he basically said he had other coaching options before his last year at Indiana that he considered but ultimately decided, against his better judgment, to decline talking to and stick at Indiana.

I have to think we were one of the schools that gauged interest.

Excellent point to make, the FBI scandal will have everyone probably on hold until the smoke clears and we see who isn't either in prison or banned from coaching.

I am in the same boat as y'all. If Avery doesn't make the tournament this year, then this year is a massive disappointment and his seat needs to be red hot next year with the expectation of winning at least a game in it and being no worse than a 6 seed. I feel like if he misses this year, and squeaks in as a 10 or 11 or something like that next year he should be gone. He won't be, but he should be.

I just want to give him one more year. He had scraps his first two seasons and this is his first college coaching gig. This may have been a little over his head. If he can't get us to 20 win easily next season and at least 4th in the SEC we probably should cut bait.

Remember, the team looked alot better w/o Sexton those two games he missed and Petty played lights out. Let's just wait to see what they do next season with some new pieces and some solid returning vets.

Lunardi has us as a 9 seed vs Seton Hall in Charlotte

Trying to get some context here but some people treat Collin like he's some cancer that we re better off without. It's kinda mind boggling because he's the only one who has brought it every game.
