Scott Skiles To Coach IU?



According to the Chicago Sun Times,

"Indiana University is expected to contact former Bulls coach Scott Skiles when it launches its coaching search, a source said Tuesday.

"If they're smart enough to hire him, they'll win a national championship in one or two years," said Bulls coach Jim Boylan, a former Skiles assistant who succeeded Skiles after he was fired by the Bulls on Dec. 24.

"I can see Scott coaching anywhere. He's a great coach and would do a great job at your local high school, grade school and he'd be a great coach at Indiana."

"He'll relate well to college players, because he needs everybody on the same page to fall into his system,'' Bulls center Joakim Noah said. ''And he could definitely do that on the college level."


Scott Skiles lives in Bloomington, IN, so the move makes sense for Skiles. I would think he would do a good job, because athletes at the college level listen to what their coach says, unlike some people in the NBA.
