8bucks

You heard back then. Would love to get the back stories from them. Can you ask if they can help get my signed Archie ball replaced lol.

Can you imagine if we hired him? He already had most of this board against the idea and with this performance it would have been a meltdown

which podcast

Would not have been a good day to get a cavity filled.

to be fair, he probably wont keep talking if others drop it too. How about some thoughts on DD?

Was Woody in there when he said this

I missed the presser, is this where that came from?

I remember pretty clearly, and consistently you would say that the chances of getting Stevens were way less than 50%, maybe even as low as 20%. I kept thinking come on bump that up some. What people fail to understand is that people with inside information can only give you their interpretation of the status up to that point. I used to run the mile, was above average but not awesome, and in the city championships (indy) I was going into lap 4 when my good friend yells at me from the side of the track, "you are right behind kk". KK was our best runner and would eventually come in 1st or 2nd for the city every year. To that point i had been head down trucking along probably thinking of some girl and had not given the race a ton of thought. When my friend told me this I look up and in front of me was this kid from Cathedral that was really good and sure enough KK. The 3 of us leading the pack going into the final lap. Now, if there were city mile insiders reporting back, they would have accurately said 8bucks was in contention for the championship. If it only ended there, unfortunately my mind started asking why I was running so close to KK and amazing you aren't tired. Oh wait, is that tired I feel? I did not win... There did seem to be a lot of smoke this time around. From many others and there seemed to be a time when our #1 big fish went away and we successfully pivoted to a second big fish. No idea if that was the case as reading the clues were not my strong point. So it did feel as if a big fish were likely but it seemed so many were hung up on the idea that if we dont get him all the info shared was false. There is a process to the story and I tend to think you guys had some information up to the end but the end went a different way.

Heck I don’t come to town often but I believe you enough to use them.

I get that but given that hiring an up and coming coach/assistant has become the standard for schools who previously won a championship when replacing a coach (UK. Lville, UNC, Duke, Nova, UConn, Syracuse) who would you have wanted? You have to find your guy and help make them great.

Any good games on YouTube we can watch to get a feel for hoe he coaches and his son plays?

This part nudged him ahead of McCollum for me. Shows he can recruit at this level too

Listen Vader, our banter is very pointed

What announcement?

I don't think either of you are going to win here. Good news is Kerr is not coming so no worries about that. Bruce Pearl, maybe but only because his first name begins with a B

I get that assumption, but looking at all the other majors (UK, Lville, Villanova, UNC, Duke, Uconn) have any of them hired anything but an unproven P5 guy? That is the way it is now. If Dolson does the same, some will scream this search was a failure even if all our peers have done that. If he pulls the rabbit out of the hat though...

There was also a new account that posted the Sampson news. Might have been from OK but they got pushback right away then moments later they were right

Goodness, every once in a while you have one that just makes me chuckle..

No it wont. Woodson did not have so much heat after year one.

@Tony! Toni! Toné! has always been on the big fish train. I would not hate DD (similar categories as UK and L'ville hires) but keeping on eye on the big fish seems to be a good idea.

Good idea to continue to mock those who think it might be a big fish.

Getting any sense when we could find out? Any non stevens big names tend to make sense over others?

It’s possible but remember IU thought they were going to have a game this week. All involved were not planning on an earlier announcement.

Key is “if true”

I grew up in Indiana, tried for a long time to reach certain levels in my career there and while I was able to progress at a certain point I hit a ceiling. Florida came calling and I landed the job I had been preparing for, searching for and hoping for but it wasnt until I decided to listen to Florida. I could have stayed in Indiana but my career path was better for me to come here. I don't even make several million $ which would make it easier to get back and forth to places I have emotional attachments to.
