Who is our next head coach

[Bird Friend]

Totally agree with this. The TR hiring after KS stalled the train. We have seen other programs with mid-major success keep it going through the next one or two coaches.

I think both the Richardson and Moser hires were panic hires. Our prime targets weren't saying yes showing a ton of interest . . . so . . .

Can’t remember exactly which thread the discussion was regarding a Monday press conference being on the ESPN+ schedule for Monday. Jim Benson checked on this and was told ISU placed a “hold” for this press conference for a future date. ESPN put the Monday date on it. Seems there will be no press conference on Monday.

Not saying I know anything because I don’t. But why would ISU tell Benson anything while the team is still playing? He’s probably right, but I wouldn’t take anything he says relating to a coaching search to the bank.

where is Judson?

Whoever the next coach is hopefully teaches back cuts, screening the screener, drawing a foul on a dribble drive and not step back fadaway threes every possession!

This board has more intel than Benson! He's probably interviewing Judson.

Wouldn't be anything wrong with that.

Illinois State hires Ohio State assistant coach Ryan Pedon for head coaching job

After five years at Ohio State, assistant coach Ryan Pedon has been named head coach at Illinois State.

www.dispatch.com

"While at Ohio State, Pedon has primarily overseen the team’s offense and served as a primary recruiter, particularly within Ohio. The Buckeyes have been a top-25 national team in adjusted offensive efficiency according to KenPom.com in four of the five seasons of the Holtmann era and are currently No. 11 this year. Pedon was the lead recruiter for first-team all-Big Ten junior forward E.J. Liddell, freshman of the year candidate Malaki Branham and current NBA player Duane Washington Jr., among others."

Jim Benson - if it is happening with ISU Basketball, it is News to him and the Pantagraph.

Kudos to Benson on Pedon making his list
