I think April 7th was an important date relative to the new NIL rules. If the House settlement goes thru on time, a clearinghouse was to be set up that would review all NIL deals to see if they represent fair market value. No one really knows how its going to work or how strict they will be. People like Osterman were saying that programs with lots of NIL money to spend would ideally have many of their deals signed before those deals would have to be reviewed (i.e. before April 7th).

Anyone claiming Yarden's shooting form is "God awful" should be forced to include a clip of themself shooting a three pointer in a college game.

Was really impressed by him in the tourney game I watched. Wonder if he's headed to Minny with Medved

Heard some national guys say that UT was close to hiring Miller when they were hiring Beard's replacement but then Terry went on a tourney run and they had to give it to him. They really liked Miller at Arizona and maybe feel like they're getting him at a discount after the NCAA stuff.

He also said this in passing in his very first video after the Woodson news broke a few weeks ago. Was curious if this might evolve if some other candidates dropped out. Perhaps not.

Knowing CBS it would be 45 minutes of commercials before they get around to naming the #1 seed coaching candidates.

The Field of 68 bracket (Goodman's site) has IU playing Xavier in Dayton with the winner playing Clemson lol. Could you imagine us playing Brownell if he was still a rumored candidate. I'd be praying that Woody coached the game of his life in that one.

Confusion should be the only available reaction for this thread (or IU basketball in general the last 30 years).

Need someone at the game to go slide in next to where Pam Whitten and Scott Dolson are sitting. She's sitting right in front of him and she's been turned around privately talking to him for much of the first half. Can we get a lip reader over there???

Watched Will Wade tonight and when the game ended they went to the studio and there you were, Tom Crean. You actually had that same exact look on your face. It was jarring.

A guy who seems pretty plugged in down in Austin just told an interesting story about Beard in the SearchSZN Twitter Spaces. Said there was another incident involving Beard and his fiance a week or 2 before the arrest. It happened in NYC when UT was there to play a marquee nonconference game. He said it happened at the team hotel in front of some of the traveling party. Beard was allegedly warned that something like that can't happen again. The incident leading to the arrest happened shortly after.

Think I read that Snyder has a house in Austin and loves it there. He might only be interested in the UT job.

Wonder when Oregon got into Indy. This would be a 9:00 am body clock game for them and they look a bit sleepy early.

Few has already announced his coach in waiting. Doesn't always work out of course. “Brian Michaelson will be the guy that takes over for me,” Few said exclusively on the College Hoops Today Podcast. “That’s the great thing about Gonzaga. We always have the next guy up in line.” https://collegehoopstoday.net/rothstein-files/mark-few-brian-michaelson-will-be-next-head-coach-at-gonzaga/

If Stevens' contract ends in a few months (I don't have that confirmed), his lack of an extension is very likely linked to the impending sale and not his happiness with the franchise. I think we'll see an extension for him announced at the time the new ownership group is announced. That's assuming its his preferred group.

"Can't swim?? It's the fall that'll kill you!" The coaching search is what's gonna kill me.

I personally don't believe Stevens is a candidate at IU, but here's a quick blurb about the Celtics sale from an ESPN Insider article today. "The Celtics were expected to close their first round of bids for the team last month, though the team has been tight-lipped about the situation throughout the process. The only known bidder is current Celtics co-owner Steve Pagliuca, who has stated his intention to buy the team he has owned alongside Wyc Grousbeck for more than two decades." https://www.espn.com/nba/insider/story/_/id/43982299/nba-insiders-luka-lebron-fit-cavs-celtics-series-more

My favorite version, from the guy who wrote it

https://www.cbssports.com/college-basketball/news/dusty-may-michigan-agree-to-contract-extension-amid-indiana-basketball-coaching-search/ May spoke exclusively to CBS Sports' Matt Norlander on Friday, shortly before his Wolverines hosted their rivalry matchup against No. 14 Michigan State. The reason for the timing? "We've picked up positive momentum as a team, and on the recruiting front, and we didn't want it to be a distraction internally or externally," May told CBS Sports. "I think it makes it obvious: I'm staying at Michigan," May told CBS Sports, adding, "I really wasn't interested in leveraging in negotiating" with Michigan as the team works toward a high NCAA Tournament seed.

Never having a Facebook account is the best decision I ever made. Just in the last couple weeks my Mom sent me a screenshot of a fake news story saying Reneau had announced he was transferring mid season. She sent another real looking article saying IU had already hired someone like Chris Holtman. She believes everything she reads on the internet. Its scary when it comes to current events and politics.

Marshall was the guy I wanted when Archie was hired. Turns out its a good thing I wasn't the AD back then.
