Shoot for the moon with Stevens and if it doesn't work, we likely end up with one of the best up and coming coaches on the circuit?  I think that's a win/win imo.

they trimmed their property back at that time but was left with the area surrounding the two houses in the yellow circles for a very long time, so one could say they had some sort of lakefront property after the lake was made lol.  They sold for some nice gains one could say over the past 10 or 15 years

The longer the uncertainty or quietness goes on, the more I am inclined to think the next coach will be someone like McCollum or Wade.  McCollum has dominated (yes at D2 level and only 1 year at Drake) but man it's been an impressive run.  Wade, while he had issues with level 1 violations at LSU, the sport has changed drastically since those issues took place.  I think given the resources and open check book that IU has, either one would thrive here at IU.  

it is higher risk vs reward imo for either option.  But Dolson saying he wants a hire similar to the Cig route, that doesn't scream a higher end guy like Drew, Beard, Cronin, etc.  Maybe TJ could be included in with McCollum or Wade considering he's only been at Iowa st one season?  idk

Sure. If there’s any program in CBB that isn’t hiring the guy coming off the show cause for cheating and then lying to NCAA investigators about it, it’s the program that was burned to cinders by a guy doing that exact same thing. Seriously, if someone told me that IU had a presser set up to announce the new HC and wasn’t sure but it’s either Jon Scheyer or Will Wade my response would be, “Holy $hit, Jon Scheyer’s leaving Duke!’

I came across this Tweet over the weekend and thought the replies were really interesting. 
Of course guys like Sampson, Izzo, Jay Wright, etc., are getting most of the mentions, but Ben McCollum's name is getting a lot mentions as well. 
Says a lot IMO given that the guy is in his first year as a D1 coach. We don't know how he's handle the step up of course, but there's no much debating that the guy can coach, develop identity and build a winning culture.

Shoot for the pie in the sky candidate who was never coming to IU and then fall back to the D2 guy when that doesn’t work out. I see Dolson still hasn’t learned the art of the backup plan. 

Pete Thamel has done two brief ESPN appearances where he described Dolson’s thinking based on talking to Dolson. I really wish we had written articles because, like with the Goodman Brad tweet, it’s hard to know how much you can lean on the language. 
 
That said, Thamel said Dolson wants a Cignetti hire, adding that this means: strong confidence, a playing style with identity, a strong culture, embracing the portal, and lots of wins on his record. 
 
Thamel never said Division I wins. Honestly the criteria for McCollum pretty closely.

I’ve really warmed to McCollum after watching their last 6 games or so, I think slow offense has us all getting flashbacks of Archie and pounding it inside over and over with MW. The Drake offensive movement is very pleasing and almost always leads to a good look. I also would expect Dolson to surround him with the people needed to make a transition like this. Hell, he tried for Woody who ran them off. I’m sure McCollum knows where he needs help adjusting and I would trust Dolson to make it happen. I’d be pretty excited to see who the assistants/GM would be with that hire. 

He did say that but the context was he wanted someone who would embrace the portal, not hide from it, and someone who would build culture (paraphrasing a bit). He said something very similar about Cig when he hired Cig. 
So he was not referring to Cig's level of experience. 

I'm guessing within the next two weeks. But I haven't ever heard a specific date

that is fair.
