The reason Stevens is the most attractive candidate for most is because he's been successful at every level, is still relatively young, and is from Indiana. Admittedly, I do question how long he would want to be a cbb coach. The claim he's told Dolson he'd prefer a 6 year commitment over a 10 year one would support that concern. That said, there will be uncertainty with any potential coach and I'd still regard Stevens as the ideal candidate.

True. And also like we (most of us) have any true insight into the search

This might be our most lopsided first halves this season.

This is called a "back-handed compliment".

If only Ricky Birdsong were still around.....

Not on the court. Jay was MONEY.

Bolded doesn't equate to absolute or 100% confidence. Secondly, you're telling us someone very close to Dolson is spilling beans, but guys like Jerry have been told to keep the chatter down (and have). I remain skeptical.

That introductory event just felt weird from the begining. Felt like Miller was thre under duress or something.

Waiting for a new poster with a name like "Happy Valley" to show up and start pimping Jerry Dunn. lol

I think this is a good sign. Maybe they are close to, or have, their guy. At the least it seems like the search is under control and disciplined.

I expect today will bring increased activity and interest, like the last two have. Anything of substance or definite? Not likely. By the way: How in the world did Maryland let Mark Turgeon get away? EPIC BLUNDER!

IMO a huge factor was that damn packline defense. Either he didn't recruit guys that could execute it, he didn't teach it well enough, or it won't work against better competition (UVA suggests otherwise).

I thought I'd heard something to that effect. That would bolster the claims that Dolson would have an open project for finding a coach and very well might get his guy in short order.

It's been mentioned that Dolson has been working on this coaching replacement for quite a while. I seem to recall some talk when Woodson was hired about him being a "bridge" hire or anticipating he wouldn't coach for too many years. Does anybody recall of anything to this effect was ever officially mentioned by IU or Woodson himself?

Of course they weren't - they were at home hitting refresh in eager anticipation RTZ news (like the rest of us, lol).
