Hopefully more like "at the table" signing a contract, and not pulling a Pitino!

I bet you're closer than you think with that conversation happening. Now, what will be Brad's ultimate decision?

Really appreciate the extra effort to accommodate the HSN transplants. I've lurked over here for years, and really enjoy the community. Cheers!

Bilas used to be very informative and objective. Now he just tows the company line and promotes the ESPN agenda. His ego has gotten the best of him unfortunately.

My family got to meet Al when we were touring Assembly Hall, and he couldn't have been nicer. My twin boys were 6 at the time, and they shouted, "Daddy, that's Al!" He had the biggest smile and talked with us and took pictures. Wish nothing but the best for him, and look forward to seeing how he does this season. Probably a good move for both sides to have a fresh start. Love to see him go to Bama and light it up from the wing. Good luck Al!

20 years ago the administration was looking to punish the basketball program and keep it in it's place. With all the talk about needing an "IU guy" as coach, having a true IU sports person in the AD spot may be even more important. Dolson sets the tone for the entire athletic program. His stated expectations are very encouraging. His actions to invest in CTA shows he's serious. Now he needs to lay out his plans and vision, and I would close with Tom Allen recruiting Stevens (or another homerun hire) to come create a Hoosier dynasty together. We won't have a new president prior to the hire, but hopefully the environment being created forces an exceptional hire for that position as well.
