This could be fun, Give me some odds of who you think it will be, I’ll go first: May—I’d say 60%, and the most likely option. I hope his only one year at current job doesn’t matter. McDermott—10%, you have to check here if Dusty is a no IMO Mcasaland—5%, wish it was higher he’s my favorite of the field options, but I don’t think he leaves the state of Texas. Cronin/Buzz/Beard—5% each. Likely doesn’t get this far IMO McCollum—6% chance. Unlikely, but better than the Cronin crew I think. Stevens—4% for the haterz.

To be fair, the trolls drive more round and round about the Stevens topic, it’s much less them trying to discuss other coaches as it is dunking on people. So it is self defeating and drives more Stevens nonsense. We’ve had plenty of discussions about other coaches. Nobody is snuffing out talk of other coaches, they’re snuffing out condescending snark. Huge difference IMO.

I hope this correct. Just seems unlikely to me, but the heart wants what the heart wants and if we don’t bunk this hire it may be Dusty’s only opportunity to be the coach here. I’m sure that counts for something.

No shot, considering as soon as this thread starts talking about other coaches they all disappear. That said I think I am now: 1. May 2. McDermott 3. Mcasland 4. Field

I was waiting for someone to point this out. Goodman tweets, and a bunch of day old accounts show up to tell everyone how stupid they are. Imagine thinking Brad Stevens being a long shot was some galaxy brained secret to which only they were privy and smart enough to understand lmfao. The arrogance is almost impressive. “Brad Stevens is never coaching at IU,” we told you so! Thanks Nostradamus, really going out on a limb with that prediction, gtfoh.

I guess it’s possible, but I have a hard time believing he leaves his alma mater who he already had rolling that also happens to be one of the richest schools in the country if it weren’t for the elephant in the room.

Pretty sure Leal was rubbing the jaw that didn’t get hit on the sideline lol

Even when Malik doesn’t get called for a foul, he somehow commits a foul lol

I think what frustrates me most with the Beard issue is no one in the pro-Beard community is willing to admit the only reason Beard is even an option is because he got fired for cause from his alma mater for felony domestic violence. The focus is all on the charges being dropped. Okay, that’s fine if you want to believe it was all make believe, but that doesn’t change the fact that 1. Texas paid him zero dollars and he didn’t litigate it, and 2. Had it not happened, Beard wouldn’t be an option at all. The two issues (Beard being an option and why he is) are interconnected. Had the DV thing never happened, Beard would be less likely than Oats or Stevens. There is not one without the other.

Goode has really been a great player for us.

Agree with you on the first point, I don’t really think he is realistic, but I’d disagree with the second. No one is gonna fault us for going after Brad Stevens and Dusty if they don’t happen and we move on. It’s a huge job no matter what some of the national media types would like to make people believe.

Feel like I’ve been taking crazy pills that no one wants a coach who has won nearly 70% of his games and March success at the P4 level. People are really hand waving Beards baggage then saying Cronin is an ******* so I don’t want him. Cronin would never miss the tournament and have us in the hunt for the B1G every year. It’s crazy to me how much of a sure thing he is if the goal is to win a bunch of basketball games.

I meant to respond to you earlier, but McDermott would be a triple in my opinion or maybe even an inside the park home run. He’d win a ton here. I hope Dolson kicks the tires on him.

I mean it’s better than the NSR where it’s like 5 on 0 lol

Let’s get a W.

This is why the mop lady loves you.

To be fair, it shouldn’t be all that difficult to top the last two hires. Dolson would almost have to purposely bunk this one to be a continuation of the last eight seasons.

I’m reading the tea leaves from Yeags and assuming it is and was Mark Few the entire time. I will not be taking questions at this time, please respect my decision.

Wooden was a cheater- 72 Red Sweater- 77

I’ll never understand why people having fun with internet rumors makes some people so butthurt lol. Unless they’re Purdue fans of course. It’s not that serious. And some of them expect everyone to be falling over with gratitude for them being vindicated and correct like Stevens throwing water on coming here was some revelation. Being happy to be right online when it makes people disappointed about something is silly work.

On a scale of 1-Masshole I’d give that denial about a 2.5

I’ll go ahead and shoulder the blame for this one. Was away all day, get caught up, and 10 minutes later Brad divorces us before the wedding even happens. I’m sorry for the St. Valentines Day massacre.

I’ll go ahead and say it if no one else will… FAKE NEWS

Mick Cronin. *ducks*

The fact that this username was still available in 2025 is kinda disappointing TBH.
