March 8, 200620 yr Ramp are you one of the witnesses? Please confirm. :whistle Isiah talking with Hoosiers? Witnesses say yes March 7, 2006 By Gregg Doyel CBS SportsLine.com Senior Writer Indiana Hoosiers legend Isiah Thomas was on campus Tuesday in Bloomington, Ind., and was spotted by two people walking into the office of the president, those witnesses told CBS SportsLine.com. Indiana is looking for Mike Davis' replacement. Thomas, who has head coaching experience in the NBA with the Pacers, currently is the embattled president of the New York Knicks. The Knicks were in Indianapolis on Tuesday to play the Pacers, and Bloomington is about an hour south. Thomas' intentions Tuesday weren't known, but he is believed to be interested in becoming the Hoosiers' next coach. He isn't thought to be at the top of Indiana athletics director Rick Greenspan's list, but Greenspan has been calling former Hoosiers in recent days to get their input on the program's direction. It's hard to imagine ex-Hoosiers endorsing anyone but Thomas or another famous alumnus, Steve Alford of Iowa.
March 8, 200620 yr I hope he is asking for the job or else Indiana has completely lost their minds. How many different organizations does he have to screw up before people realize he's a moron
March 8, 200620 yr Author I hope he is asking for the job or else Indiana has completely lost their minds. How many different organizations does he have to screw up before people realize he's a moron I agree 100% - I really hope he was there begging for the position. He's a perfect fit in NY! :lol
March 8, 200620 yr I think Zeke could potentially make a great college coach. Recruiting is the most important thing in college BBall and he could potentially have a great impact with his IU ties, legendary name and NBA connections. Also, for all the bad he has done in the NBA, one thing he has been great at is talent evaluation and maybe that would be true for recruiting as well.
March 8, 200620 yr Author one thing he has been great at is talent evaluation... "Talent evaluation" - you're kidding, right? :lol
March 8, 200620 yr one thing he has been great at is talent evaluation... "Talent evaluation" - you're kidding, right? :lol No, I am dead serious. While he makes stupid trades (I am not saying talent evaluator trade wise, I am talking draft), he is a great evaluator of talent. Go look at his draft recrod and his previous selections and tell me he is not a great talent evaluator. Some of his draft choices I believe: Damon Stoudamire Marcus Camby Tracy McGrady Vince Carter Primoz Brezec Fred Jones James Jones Trevor Ariza Channing Frye David Lee Nate Robinson Luckily for him, in college bball you can't trade for max length contracts.
March 9, 200620 yr Yeah, if there's one thing Zeke's good at in the NBA, it's drafting players. He would be great for Indiana, they need to be brought back into the national spotlight like they were under Knight.
