Radio shows, national television, meeting with fans at home or on the road, one of the biggest brands in the country, one of the most historic arenas in basketball’s history and, most pressing of all, five ever-looming national championship banners on the wall.

Indiana has hired five coaches to the job since 2000. Four have been fired or forced to resign for a myriad of reasons.
