Yes, many times. I have a lake house near there. You? The reason I asked is that the Twitter handle that is posting all the info on the IU coaching situation is based in Holland, MI.

This is who we are following on Twitter? Sweet Jesus

Risky is paying $100 million to a guy that hasn’t coached in college in 12 years

Who lives in Holland Michigan?

Can anyone validate that story with 100% certainty? I was told that was not true and made up by pro Dolson people to make it look like he had it on lock and then others came in and screwed it up for him. Meanwhile he was never really coming because his family didn’t want to. That last part should have been known very early on but was overlooked. One of many reasons Buckner and others were able to claim incompetence and push him aside and take control of the hiring and insert their guy, aka plan zzz.

He has made it very clear that Stevens is Dolson’s guy and that we’re getting him. 2021 and again now

People that know him have said he doesn’t have a strong personality. Fair to say that doesn’t matter but I don’t think there is much to debate on his personality.

I bet the over/under on one of their games the other day and it was set at 99. 99 total points in a D-1 college game is nuts

In terms of pure winning, I have zero doubt Pearl, Beard and Few wouldn’t make us a contender each year. i have my doubts about Dusty and Brad

I believe strongly in personalities mattering. I was around Micah for quite some time and never believed for a second he exuded anything special and my friend played for Dusty and said the same thing. He never for a second thought, wow, this guy is going places. it doesn’t mean they can’t succeed but if you’ve been around crazy successful people they usually have an aura about them and not sure Dusty does

I wish Dolson would ignore “Indiana ties” from his criteria and go after sure fire winners. Stevens and May are both big gambles

Why on earth would we have Stevens consult on our hiring decisions? He hasn’t been around the college game for 12 years. 12 years! This **** is bananas, b-a-n-a-n-a-s

Outside of his age, what about Stevens makes you think that he would be here 20 years?

Yes welcome, seems this board has grown a ton in the last few days. look, I’m fine with Stevens if that is who we end up with but I think the obsession with Stevens by some is one, manifested by the fact that many have stated that he is Dolson’s top target and he might be in play and two, that human nature loves a good chase and he has been our chase for a while regardless of whether it still makes sense to or not. Indiana continues to fight doing the obvious and that has led us down the wrong paths over and over again. You don’t always have to outthink the room. When Pitino, Calipari, Stevens etc wanted to come here ages ago we should have moved but we didn’t. When May, Pearl etc wanted to come here we should have jumped and we didn’t. When Beard and Few want to come here we should jump but we won’t. Stevens hasn’t coached in college since recruits were in pre-school. As soon as his core left butler his winning tapered off and he bolted. He won early in the nba and then winnning tapered off and he bolted. He has used us as a bargaining chip now each time his contract is in doubt. Maybe he comes and is wildly successful but I have my doubts on both coming and being wildly successful, meanwhile watching coaches like Pearl, Few Beard compete for national championships elsewhere.

Been here since 2014, welcome to the board!

I don’t think there is as much support for Stevens as some here believe. Our man should be a college basketball coach

Most ADs have law degrees, ours does not

We needed to rid the program of him and the toxicity that he brings to the program. When he goes away we can come together, until then we have to deal with the BS that comes with him. Cut him off and you cut off Woodson, Buckner, losing, fights, burners that are out to get the fans and the university. It’s all still here until he is gone

He’s still here… this is all nuts. We knew he was gone at the end of the year, this does nothing for us. he’s still here to start 3 bigs and fumble end of game execution. He needed to be walked out… this is nuts

I appreciate the positioning here. The absolutes that can be posted are a bit much. This outlines optimism with the understanding that nothing is done until the ink dries.

You bury bad news on a Friday, this is great news!

No, I would love to lock this up asap

Keep the RTZ bombs coming

It’s crazy to think that tyme and sdb are not mouth pieces for woody and the staff. But, if they are, why didn’t IU nip that in the bud a long time ago? The coaches are following these guys in X and they claim to get info from them… isn’t that a fireable offense?

But didn’t they try to have woody finish the season?
