With the Tony Bennett snub of Indiana University, and the $2 million buyout in Sean Miller of Xavier's contract, talk again has come to Brad Brownell as a
possible candidate for IU. Until Brad is officially contacted, I would say most of this is just rumor and speculation, and should be put to rest until Coach
Brownell is actually contacted. I think it would be a great compliment for Coach B to get the IU job, and he is surely worthy of the position from everything I
have both seen on the court and heard from his players. Will he get the IU job, doubtful, and I have mixed emotions about that. I want the coach to stick
around because he is so good, and wish he would consider staying long term. But if the Coach is truly considering other jobs right now, then
it may be good for the long run to have him move on to a great job while we have a good, talented player base, and get some stability and continuity by
promoting Billy Donlan to head coach. My preference is of course to keep Coach Brownell around long term. Either way I would not be truly upset, it really
doesn't do much to speculate about the future of the WSU coaching position until it truly is the present, and the coach is officially contacted to move on.
Until then it just hurts the program's perception and recruiting to continue to feed any rumors. So this is my one and only blog on this subject unless
some other facts ever surface.
