Your case for Miller is a LOSS to OSU ? Then why not the coach with the most good losses ?

Both guys can coach but the reason Bennett makes sense is 1) He can build his own team,, no program before him to rely on like Miller 2) recruits the world, not 8 guys from 3 areas of Ohio 3) knows the B-10 not the A-10 4) connections to IU.

If you look at Washington State, their season had not been too impresive. They had a very weak non-conference schedule(after you take a look at WSU and compare to IU-IU's schedule doesn't look so weak.) You did WSU beat this year? NOBODY!!!! Don't tell me a overated Gonzaga team. THEY HAD LOST TO ALL THE RANK TEAMS IN THE PAC 10 and lost to Arizona twice. Bennett has a veteran team that should have battled for the Pac Ten championship- not lose 7 games in the conference. Almost 8 loses- 2OT win at home against Washington. They have not won any big games this year, so he hasn't proven to me that he can handle a big time program. IU is not a place to fine tune your trade and have learning experiences- just ask Mike Davis.

IU needs a proven big time winner and Bennett is not there yet. If you put Bennett's name out there then you should put Bo Ryan's name and all other proven coaches. Sean Miller is a better candidate. At least he won a couple of conference championships and should have beaten Ohio State last year. in the NCAA tournament He also is landing Indiana players at Xavier. Heck, IU should start at the top and call all the big time coaches including Coach K, Bill Self, Izzo, Barnes etc..

Both guys are great coaches but Bennett's players come from Germany, New Zealand, Australia, Serbia, Ca, Colo, Wisc, Ore, Wash, HI . This tells me he goes to the end of the earth to recruit not just in Ohio.
