His mention of the importance of the fan base and playing a style of basketball that people want to watch was great to hear. He's all in on Indiana, within our interaction dozens of people were lining up to meet him.

I met Coach DD at the football game on Saturday. I’m so much more confident in him than I could ever be with Woodson. Darian is the right guy for the job, he has my full support along with the rest of the staff.

I rounded up with the contract extension that was well deserved.

Woody left a stain so bad on the floor of Assembly Hall that they had to completely refinish the court. Thanks Woody and great job to Dolson and Company!

I remember the first rumor of Mike Woodson being hired as the head coach, I knew right away it would be a huge mistake for the basketball program. Here we are, six wasted years and a huge buy-out paid out. Woodson couldn’t land an NBA head job with his enormous wealth of NBA assistant experience. In fact, he was out of the league for a couple season in 2018. The hire was a panic move and to appease the older fan base. There is a fresh air in the basketball offices now, even down to the athletic trainer and strength coach. Darian has the resources to succeed, I’m anticipating Darian having a great career at Indiana than Woodson did as a coach. Happy retirement Coach Woodson, enjoy Sacramento and the NBA life again!

We'll reach 1 million with our next coaching change, national championship, or Bob Knight resurrecting.

Chris, is he shopping at Fresh Thyme yet? Maybe he’s a Krogucci sort of guy. I’m sure he’s enjoying Bloomington more than Morgantown!

Without getting too political, it's absolutely insane than an acting governor can take over replacing seats as they please. Replacing elected trustees doesn't sit right with me. I'm not a fan of Quinn sticking around, he's already set this basketball program back another half a decade getting his buddy hired. As someone mentioned as well, I really hope he stays away from the basketball program, we don't need his guidance, nor does Scott.

It appears we have bullied the SID to post the official press releases. Looks like CDD is still filling out his support staff.

Is anyone going to Puerto Rico? I’ll be there!

I think it was Armond Hill! On a serious note, it's the SID's responsibility to update the website and post press releases. I haven't seen anything like this where there's simply no press releases. I don't see the reasoning behind it, there should be nothing holding it up other than someone saying don't release it.

Why has it been so radio silent on the hirings? Very odd. Never seen it before in college athletics.

Anymore information on this?

Well color me shocked, I thought he was going to retire as that's why he's no longer the head coach of Indiana. Oh wait, it wasn't his decision. He needs to hang it up, he has plenty of money. Go golf and drink wine Woody.

I'll be in Bloomington after Mother's Day.. ;)

Remember who reported this two months ago.. Tag me @Chris007 ;)

Good morning, Expectations are simple this upcoming year, make the NCAA tournament. If Kevin Young can do it at BYU, CDD can do it at Indiana his first year, with even a higher NIL budget in comparison.

Darian and the staff appear to be getting some players!

Part 2! I'll be in Bloomington soon.. perhaps I should pick up some items?

Good job to CDD and the rest of the unnamed staff!

I think with Kory departing to Oral Roberts, that eliminated the possibility. It's been expressed that Dolson wants a clean slate too from the old staff.

Exactly, back me up @Chris007

Have you been on campus between May 9th - August 9th? No better place in the world.

He's had an interesting career. Investigated by the FBI, went to the mid-majors for a few years, including a stop at Rhode Island with Archie Miller. Now he's back at Indiana with CDD.

Isn't he the fella that got the big time recruits and eventually got in trouble?
