They’re both still doing better than IU! So is Louisville, UNC, UK, MSU, Duke and many others. If rules aren’t enforced, and clearly they’re not - you either take the moral high ground and scramble to bring in a 4 or 5 star every once in a while..your results remain midling to average exacerbating the problem of lack of appeal - or you figure what it takes to win without completely being egregious (ie. Bill Self/Will Wade style).

Beam me up Scotty! I’ve got my phone in hand...

Gard is still resting on the Grinch’s laurels - those kids r near 30 yrs old! Will be interesting to see how he does on his own.

Perfect set up and scenario.

Fan base, PUH-lease Twitter the F’ing Sht out of this on every single post he puts up!!!

$10MM comes w more expectation than getting rid of someone .

Some one ponied up $10MM...not to sort through resumes!

Beam me up Scotty!

Dolson needs to step out and address this. Giving the perception that he’s knocking on doors selling am way and no one is answering...that stuff catapults!

This...everyone and their mother getting a shot in. Dolson needs to get in front of the bad perceptions/rumor mill that makes things appear completely dysfunctional. If it’s not that bad, do something to get in front of it. If it is that bad, well, I guess we’re all totally F’d!!

Perception is reality until shown otherwise. Dolson’s job is to manage both! If all of the rumors are just noise/smokescreen then part of his job is to manage perception and control some of the message...instead of letting Goodman do it!

Well, if you’re managing this mother, then it might be time to step in and give a signal that you’ve got it under control and to ignore the noise - because there’s an awful lot of people piling on to make it appear to be the complete opposite.

If so, the train is off the rails and this is a complete and total cluster! We’re still causally shopping around two weeks in - while players are portaling like penguins jumping into the Arctic! If this is more smoke screen, we’re suffocating in it - enough!!

If it was Beard...you would think it would be announced ASAP after he lost in the tourney in order to slow down the exit stage left through the portal hole - and to pick up some players that r out there. Lil Richard to NM was announced almost before he got fired at Minny, Shaka was announced before formally fired at UT

To Utah...that’s what I heard too!

AK nailed it! Wisconsin and MSU, and Iowa to a degree - carry way too much influence in setting the style of play. They can’t call them all hack-a-thons create crappy B-ball, call inconsistency and schizo players who have know idea what the rules are half to half, let alone game to game. Also, holding the Big tourney so late — Sunday 10 minutes before selections r announced - sends teams tired into their first games - when others have had a week+ off to refresh after their conference tourney games.

Let’s shut ‘er down! First week is all that counts!! I thought the winner is who most closely resembles IU’s season on the court...start off promising, then crash n burn! What r we playing for, there’s a prize for the winner at every round, right?

No question!!!

Add Wilborn on ESPN.... completely awful takes. Shows how easy it is to be a talking head gasbag and just say crap w/out having a clue. Goodman has a healthy serving of crow baking in the oven. Loves to see IU down since is a Wiscy homer. Shouldn’t let it bleed into his comments. Whoever leaked to him on Arch...should be his last break!

Sooo sick of Izzo’s incessant whining on EVERY GD play/call that doesn’t go MSU way. Act is so tired. He definitely has captured the mantle of whiniest @$@$&! from Boeheim. Makes it way too easy to root against him just to watch him explode!

Nice...great to hear from the crew that has had a combination of Gene Keady and Pork Belly over the past 40 years - and I would guess similar in the program's entire history prior. The most diverse thing about those two has been Keady's hair piece!

Lil Richard has accepted job at New Mexico. Can scratch him off the list!

I would never mention any names directly, but some personalities have even tried to make a career around poking Indiana fans! I guess for some, sour grapes never end.

This! No way boosters commit that much $$$ on another chancer. Dolson needed to give some assurances of who was on the board, probably the order - and what he had heard from back channeling. From that, was able to convey that success was very likely with at least some (top 3 or so) on the list. For that $$, he needed to let them know he was big game hunting this time and was loaded to nail a big prize target.

Joe! Josh Pastner is the GA Tech, former Memphis, guy proudly rocking the face shield!
