As expected,
Chicago State HC Louis Olson will be leaving after one season, to take over the program at Indiana University. IU is on a 12-year post-season drought, so he'll still have a rebuilding job on his hands except with better amenities and in a better conference.
For this search, I cast a net looking for assistants who haven't coached before who have strong recruiting capabilities. I'd take a coach with experience, of course because they're likely to be more filled out. But when I ran across Louis Anderson, a third-year assistant at Temple who'd previously coached in the city at Loyola, I felt like he was the right fit to bring back to town for a second stint.
While he's also not an elite recruiting, it's an improvement over our last guy and his maxed out coaching skills make me hope that he can work with whatever talent we do have to win close games and to develop talent.
