per the Indy Star:
So Cowherd had former IU player and coach and current 1070 The Fan host Dan Dakich on to talk about the Hoosiers program's place among college basketball's elite.
Cowherd: "Is Indiana basketball still a great job without Bobby Knight? I say it is due to its AAU players in the state, my staff disagrees and says Dan Dakich won't be objective about it… Alright, who is right, Dan?"
Dakich: "Well, recruiting hasn't been a problem for Tom Crean, let's go that route first and foremost. So players have wanted to come play for him. He's recruited McDonald's All Americans. Look, you've got a fan base that's going to show up on Sunday afternoon, 17-18,000 people to see Chicago State play Indiana at noon on Sunday."
Cowherd: "That's a good job!"
Dakich: "Right, it's a great job. You don't have to go anywhere outside normally, outside a two-hour area to go recruit McDonald's All Americans. ... There are like 12 kids from Indianapolis that are pros. You have the chance to schedule anybody you want. Tom Crean schedules the lowest of the low in Division I to bring them in at home, so you're going to win 20 games every single year unless you completely screw it up, Colln. Let me throw this to you, (you'll be) coaching basketball in the state of Indiana and you're going to make $3 million, what's not great about that?!?"
