It’s always been Brad.

Good things. Should be able to go into details tomorrow or maybe Monday. I know this search has been exhausting for all, it’s almost over

He signed paperwork saying he was done. There is no backtracking now. It's a nothing burger I promise that

Fake News.

I try to ask all of those things, you just don't get a lot of answers or things being confirmed. You hear a lot of answers but nothing you can go fact-check if you know what I mean. I will say I have heard 10 years 92 million, I have heard 6 years 67 million, I have heard 8 years 88 million. I have heard they bought a house in the Center Grove district so their daughter could be a part of the girl's soccer team there which I believe was ranked #1, He has a former player who works there so there is some familiarity. That he and Dolson met from Thanksgiving to February figuring out how they wanted to do this and keep it quiet till mid-March. I have many other things but not worth going through them all Is any of it true who knows? But I do know one person who is connected and he hasn't come back on. Have I been wrong? Yes, a lot in the last 10 years. But do I hope Dolson can pull off the grand slam? Yes, which probably clouds my judgment.

I love it. Dolson gets fans to lower expectations for McCollum then hits them with the hammer. Such a big time move. Remember last time Goodman said Holtman was almost a done deal.

As someone very connected told me last week, Be careful of people talking because they don't know anything, if they do know something then they wouldn't be talking if they knew what was good for them due to the NDA's. I remember you getting in some trouble for talking last time. I appreciate you feeling bad for some people. If I'm wrong I'll be here next week to take the heat. If you are right or wrong we won't see you again till the next search. BS is 1A BM is 1B I'll stick to it.

All you needed to take from that spaces was they all agreed Dolson has a small circle and Scott isn’t talking about his plan with many. Which takes me back to how glad I am this coach search has almost 0 leaks. No one knows who Dolson has at the top of his list and I find it awesome that know one has a clue. Greatest search ever in my opinion. Let Dolson do his job and IU will have a really good college basketball coach at the end of this

This is why I keep saying this is the best search I have ever been around. Today I have had two people tell me it's Collins Another buddy sent me McDermott done deal, I also got a McCollum done deal I got a not Stevens but someone just as big Last night was told the hire has been made since March 1st Spoke to an agent who said that Drew and May couldn't get an interview because Dolson already had his guy at the end of Feb. I love this but ready for it to be over.

I agree with some that nothing has changed on my end and that there has been a deal for the big dog for a while but if it goes south then McCollum is the backup plan.

Uhh...doesn't he call for the home run and then bunt in this scene?

Indiana - BIG fish

Who is sitting behind the ND bench? He has been to two games in the last two weeks but could only make one in the first 30 games. Anyway, everything I have posted that I have heard today I could name 6 or 7 other people on here who have heard it too. I won't so they don't take the heat I do but they send me their rumors. Yes, it could be the echo chamber of IU but I know I don't have the same sources as RTZ and a few others. So yes we could be wrong but there is a reason we think what we do. I owned it 4 years ago, just like I will again. I have even said I don't believe it fully myself.

I remain confident that I have good info.

I heard a number. How accurate I don’t know. 6 year. 66 million. 7 million NIL.

Brad.

As a preacher I would love for our next coach to genuinely love Jesus in such a way that he does NOT have to preach sermons to his team or demand they go to church with him, but RATHER that they see he walks with integrity, class, and respect… that he treats everyone (from the 5star recruit to the water boy) with compassion and kindness. That he has a reputation for looking out for the good of others BUT also works hard and is willing to model self-sacrifice for the benefit of others. A saint once said, “Preach the word and when necessary use words.” It’s true we are hiring a coach, but there’s also more to life than basketball. So, I’d like a coach who will model the kind of values that make the world a better place.

Brad has signed. Will hear about this publicly before noon today. If not then disregard me forever. I TOLD you all to be patient and didn't listen but I'm in too good of a mood now

I was happy to get an early jump on this search but by week 4 or whatever we're in I'm ready for it to be over

This McCollum pace of play stuff is killing me. On 3 viewings of Drake I’m guessing he’s probably a 65 possession guy, something like that. Someone less lazy than I am is welcome to check me on that. So he’s not Nate Oats. But I guarantee that Matt Painter and Dan Hurley are sub-70 possession guys. Average fans couldn’t tell the difference between 65 and 70 possessions if their lives depended on it. Aesthetically pleasing offense has zero to do with pace and everything to do with the quality of shots you’re generating. You run a 26 sec possession with crisp ball movement that results in your guy burying an open 3 and someone’s trying to me tell that’s boring? Then you’re not a basketball fan. Find me a guy with a vision of how to play who knows to recruit to it and teach it and dude is gonna win here.
