Wasn't his program caught up in the same recruiting scandal as Auburn and AZ? Yet no one seems to want Pearl or Drew because of past recruiting issues??
Think he takes Marquette. He went to Jesuit HS I believe, currently coaches at a Jesuit school, wouldn’t HAVE to move family, could dominate the conference, has great facilities, less pressure, and can get paid.
Are we losing them? They still may come back. It would be silly for them to not explore all options given the uncertainty.
why do we as a fan base overreact to everything??
My "educated" guess is we inquired about the opening. Matta said he was intrigued but didn't feel like he could "physically" handle the demands of the job. "Rumors" spread he failed a physical NOT that he politely turned us down due to fact he didn't feel like he could put 100+% into the position.
Whoever we hire (assuming not a Stevens, Beard, Oats, Musselman etc.), I hope Dolson offers a contract that allows IU to move on from the gamble IF necessary. You can always renegotiate higher pay/buyout later after they have proven themselves.
