Not loving the Bozich replies to Tyme on X…..yikes….please Scott do not hire Brownell

Ya. I screenshot that ****.

You're right. Our admin is a bunch of boy scouts. I hate this but hopefully Scott turns the page on our hiring practices, finds some balls, and does what needs to be done.

You're absolutely right. We handed out Sweet 16 rings for crying out loud.

If we end up with Brownell.....I mean my God. Will Wade wants the job (rumored). Why on earth would we hire Brad Brownell? We're not a serious program if this happens.

Would take Wade over a Brownell or McCollum in a heartbeat.

Idk, man. Great golf courses all around Vegas. But yeah, coaching basketball would just get in the way of that.

If Brad Brownell is being considered...he's about to make that mistake again.

If we hire Brad Brownell, it'll be very hard to be optimistic about IU basketball. I'm not one of the "I'm done with IU if we blah blah". I'll still root for my guys but damn, this program is not serious if that comes to life. Who is it this time that's in Scott Dolson's ear saying "you gotta check out Brad Brownell, man. Trust me" ? What has Brad Brownell done to even be in this conversation? What a deflating hire that would be.

Prove it.

The entire country thinks IU basketball is a joke. If they're proud of that and laugh at the fans wanting something better than mediocre garbage, then this further proves what a joke of a program we are. Admin - STOP ******* UP MY FAVORITE PROGRAM. DO YOUR DAMN JOBS AND DO THEM BETTER. YOU HAVE NO REASON TO BE LAUGHING. ESPECIALLY - ESPECIALLLLLLYYYYYY AT THE FANS.

You're right. I'm back. That was a nice 2 min break.

I'm so lost. No idea where we are in this search and personally, I don't think anyone does. Time to just let it play out.

He didn't say anything specific. I think he meant that's just the type of guy BM is. If he leaves, he'll go where he wants and on his terms.

Trilly hasn't really had many bombs with this search other than he thinks McCollum favors Iowa and would have a whole lot of terms (at any new job) that he won't budge from.

Lost to Northwestern? Ouch.

Whatever you say, Ron Mexico.

They don't know anything. Best to ignore. Reaction-fishing at this point, IMO

You're probably correct, unfortunately.

Hire Pitino Sr for 3-4 years, win a natty, then hire whoever the hell you want. Enough of this ****. Lets win.

There's just no way we hire Brad Brownell. If we do, we truly are not a serious program that wants to win big and people in the college basketball world really do look at IU as a nightmare. Hiring him would tell me every single candidate above him (and there better be at least 10) turned us down. We the fans think there's never been an easier time to be the head coach at Indiana but actual coaches apparently think the opposite if all this ends with Brownell. Not trying to be super negative but man, it's getting very hard to be excited about IU basketball. Football has become what we look forward to and that's pretty awesome but also sad. Why can't we have both?

I understand that. It plays to my point that we just don't know with McCollum. He's had unbelievable success at the D2 level and an awesome year 1 with Drake. I'd be more comfortable with Collins.

IF the choice is one of those three or McCollum - give me Collins all day every day. Brad Brownell shouldn't even be in our hc conversation. If we end up with him, it's because everyone else said no and Beard was a non-starter. I'd rather take a chance on someone who knows the league inside and out and has been on a P5 staff forever with the other being Duke (I believe Collins has 2 rings). I will be interested to see how Drake does in the tourney when they play big boy schools.

Kelsey. Brownell has been a P5 coach for much longer than a year.

Ah, my mistake! Totally agree.
