The calm before the game day storm

12 turnovers between Kaufman-Renn (7) and Loyer (5). And Smith with 3 if it matters. Pressure the hell out of them. They can't chuck it up the beanstalk for Jolly Green Edey to bail them out anymore.

The Lumberjacks were all business. Yeah, I watched it. I am what I am.

Maybe it's my personal vendetta against punchable Fletcher, but if you're playing him and your goal is anything other than to make him your beeyotch you need to reevaluate your existence as a basketball player.

Purdoo with 9 points in the first 11 minutes on the road at PSU

For anyone interested: Bucky and Samford play tonight at 7. McCollum and Drake play at 8.

I only assumed so, given the pedigree, and I believe he will take the next big step heading into next season. Cig can get the most out of him.

We'll see. If he's the right kind of personality this season's taste of success could/should be a positive stressor to breed noticeable improvement in the coming off-season.

Kansas got nothing from the big fellas. Dickinson with 6 points in 25 minutes and Kory with 2 points and 2 fouls in just 12 minutes.

Maybe it's just the first four letters of the name.

Email this to Dolson every week.

Until they end the season a top 15 team and sweeten the deal.

Much easier than he could if he were currently coaching.

Coffee Snobs? I knew it. Had you pegged from jump. Suuuuuuch a coffee snob.

He has a big enough pair, but he has a bigger brain. If we want to make this season worse, a mid-season axe is the way.

It's some of the other voices that cause many of us concern. I have faith in Dolson, hence my staunch position that he is doing his best to uphold the standards of his position.

That's more believable. Contingencies. And I agree, he has to have them. I would also agree with your first assertion that he doesn't WANT to move Woodson out. People generally don't want to fire other people, especially not with the current dynamic of the relationship between MW and IU. Obviously our perspectives are different and therefore our definitions likely follow suit. But your next assertions of Dolson not contemplating moving MW out or planning three months ahead just seem far fetched for any person in that seat. You cannot decide last minute to move on from a coach of a major D1 basketball program, and you cannot find the right fit in replacing him in short order. Well, let me say you SHOULDN'T. He has a job to do, and it's a job that must be done well. If you see the writing forming on the wall, plan accordingly. Going by what you initially presented this morning it seems some people have begun to see clearly through their bifocals the status quo is not meeting expectations.

Perimeter?

This is a bit of a mind-boggling hedge. You can't be in Scott Dolson's position and not be looking ahead at the next coach, let alone not even be considering a change as you assert. From a business and responsibility perspective it would be egregiously lazy and stupid, neither of which are qualities I believe he's demonstrated. From a common sense perspective... Come on. And maybe I'm misunderstanding you or overlooking some context, but I'm sorry Cathy. I do appreciate your participation and insight here on the board, but I hope you aren't in sales because I'm not buying.

None of us are going to believe that for a second, and if that's truly the case, we're in deep.

Several in here are misconstruing the context of the 'SD's radar' comment. It means making the coaching change is not on his immediate to-do list, mostly because he's not allowed to have it on there yet He knows he won't get a green light for it until March at the earliest so why lose sleep on it now? There's a lot going on with IU athletics at the moment and he's probably putting his energy where it's needed most... Like making sure Curt Cignetti stays in Bloomington. The end of the MW experiment has been on his radar since last year, and while he's waiting for the day he's allowed to relieve MW of his duties I'm sure he's done and continues doing his due diligence behind the scenes.
