Since it's BGleas saying this: (No, I don't actually think we have a chance.)

What are Brad Stevens' thoughts on Ben McCollum?

Anyone have a shot diagram from a Drake game?

Twists, turns, and smokescreens galore. Feints here and there.

I thought you were a ghost? I feel lied to and betrayed.

Yes, I'm not the only one that sees McGollum!

Curve ball: It's Brad Frederick

I have a feeling IU will end up with a more offensive minded coach. Danny Hurley himself has said that he looks at offense first when recruiting since offense wins championships. It's easier to teach defense than shooting. It would also be a change in direction after the last 8 years under the previous 2 coaches.

McNeeley is headed to Indiana since Woodson is gone, right? Right!?

It could even be almost $11M. If he gets to the NCCAT within the first 3 years, there is an automatic 1 year extension. Since he'll get there this year, it will trigger that clause. That means he'll have 5 years left on the contract instead of 4 and the buyout is 95% of remaining contract. $2.3M x 5 x 0.95 = $10.9M If that year doesn't count toward the buyout, it's still $8.7M like you said. That said, it is expensive to hire a good P5 coach so IU should be prepared for that if it's what they want to do.

I predict..nay! I guarantee that IU will hire a coach. I further guarantee that coach will not be named Mike Woodson. Take it to the bank.

Not really. It is safe to assume that no one outside of a small group know how the search is going and that group is being quiet.

You mean the time he beat and bit a woman so bad that the cops were called and he was arrested on a felony domestic assault charge wasn't the first time!? Shocking. I've been saying all along that there was no way this was the first time. It just doesn't start at that level, it escalates.

I don't disagree with either of you. Just sharing what he's saying.

I'm just passing on what he's saying. Earlier he said, "IU/search firm is vetting Beard. It may go nowhere. It may go nowhere, but the chances are no longer zero. It maybe just 1%. But it's no longer zero." Now he says that it already happened and that it was Thursday. In response to someone asking about the Coaching Search tweet that was shared, he said, "They are way behind. IU looking into Beard was Thursday. Looked into, moved on." Feel free to take it up with him.

He's the king of bad takes.

Rabby is now giving dates. Says Beard was vetted and IU was looking into him Thursday. He says IU has moved on from him.

He's added that there are still steep hills for Beard to climb from what he's heard. He thinks that IU will move on from Beard as a result of the vetting.

That's sad.

/shrug Ask Rabby. I'm just passing on what he's saying.

Man, you guys quote quickly. I initially misread his post which contains the word "not".

I edited because I initially misread his post. Actually said he's not out.

Rabby now says that Brownell is not out of the running.

Boring? Yes. Safe? I'm not so sure about that. He's been pretty blah most of his time at Clemson. It's a risk to assume he'd do better at IU.

As in a few minutes ago.
