With Tom Crean now gone, the Indiana Hoosiers basketball program will soon find out where they stand in regards to national relevance as they kick off their coaching search.
The Hoosiers have had more than their fair-share of candidates linked to the job even while Crean was in office. Now, with the job officially open, we’ll see just how serious the rumors and the interest of those rumored is.
At this point, the most likely candidate appears to be Steve Alford of UCLA.
Alford’s ties to the program are obvious. His coaching acumen, however, is less clear.
