i know i'm jumping the gun. but let's assume they hire a head coach outside the program.
does Crean take his assistants? i'd say yes, but i don't know if IU will allow Bennie Seltzer to join. been with Crean for two years, but prior to that spent 9 seasons on Sampsons bench at Oklahoma. and before that, he played for Sampson at Washington St.
i've met him a bunch of times and he's an absolute great guy. i'd hate to see him screwed over in this. but i find it hard to believe that IU would allow one of Sampsons' guys to come aboard.
If they wouldn't allow Seltzer, they probably wouldn't take Rab either. He was a Sampson guy for 10 years both at WSU and OU. And he had some issues that led to him leaving UTEP, so he doesn't exactly fit the image IU would want.
