Welcome back? Have you been around lately? Love seeing some old names. Maybe you have been and I just didn’t notice

Came to see his alumni to the finish line

I can assure you we did. This isnt one of the premier betting sites and there isn’t much action on the Indiana coaching search outside of our fanbase. it sat at +5000 for at least an hour and then when we all started betting we watched it move quickly and then paused. There isn’t enough action on the other side to match the liability they just took on from +5000 odds we all just loaded up on.

That’s not how it works. They just want the money even on each side and it got lopsided quickly so they turned it off.

They also passed on coach K, Self, Izzo, Painter etc etc. This reference to UK and UofL passing on people that keeps getting regurgitated is such a strange argument. you can only hire 1 guy, that doesn’t mean that they “passed” on everyone else.

Grades and APR hit the skids when Sampson was fired and the kids stopped caring/stopped going to class

Then why are we interviewing Shaka Smart?

So when I said earlier that a few people can move the market or sway public opinion in a situation like this I wasn’t kidding. I think a few people here influenced this. Not only is it now locked, he moved up to 2nd from +5000 in a matter of minutes

I admittedly tried to bet a lot more, would never have signed up and deposited money had I known they would have crazy low limits like that

$5 because that’s all that shity site would let you bet right? What $ did you try to bet?

Haha, so this site is terrible. I swung the odds from +5000 to +2500 with one bet it flipped to +2500 as soon as I refreshed. Still don’t believe it but figured wtfn with those odds

I would be happy with McDermott, that would be a solid hire that would have us ranked more often than not

Just to be clear, unless you or anyone on this board are a part of his trusted inner circle I don’t fault you for sharing what you hear and in fact appreciate it. my point is that there are only a few people that have all the info and if those people are leaking things then they should be fired. I don’t believe the info that hits these boards is directly coming from those people but people around them and that leaves room for error and consistent error because the error of one quickly becomes a thing that is whispered, texted, message board fodder, social media posts etc.

You weren’t asking me but if I may. Bloomington isn’t that big and the amount of people close to things is even smaller. All it takes is a little exaggeration or misunderstanding from 1 person that people respect or believe is in the know and it snowballs. take this board for example. People respect Chris007 for example and while I don’t think he would purposely mislead anyone, if he shared that we interviewed Beard for example because he was told that and that was incorrect, we only vetted him or took a call from his agent, this board would likely believe and repeat that we interviewed Beard and he was a real candidate and that would then make its way off this board to word of mouth and social media and impact Vegas odds etc it doesn’t take much to get incorrect info swirling and in some cases it was never intentional sorry Chris007 for using you as an example, I did because what you say travels and travels quickly.

100% these people are either getting bits and pieces of the real story or aren’t getting anything but using their position around the situation to seem relevant to their friends. if folks signed NDAs but are still leaking info on the daily to their friends for them to pump gifs on a message board then Dolson needs to reevaluate his inner circle
