After reading these weeks of “ next coach” conversations, I think it’s fortunate that it’s not up to this board to hire the next coach. One would never get hired. ( I have no favorite ) Luckily , Dolson is leading the decision process and not any of us participants. Hiring a coach is a subjective decision as Nostradamus is not hiring so it’s all a crapshoot of sorts.

Fun fact. Remember Larry Bird saying something to the effect that after so many years you need to move on because players stop listening and things get stale. Doubt Self would leave Kansas, don’t really have an opinion o; him. How many years does he realistically want to coach?

CONIN O’Brien coaches basketball too?

I think that was the point, as you were probably aware, :)

He didn’t say what TIME ZONE he was referencing.

Good article from which I have great confidence in Dolson and IU getting the right coach for IU basketball.

I got that. Currently 2.2%.

Don’t think you are. I take NOTHING as fact or lies. Just opinion and information . I say to Chris 007 and all others to keep bringing it, I’m intelligent enough to make my own deductions. Only time will reveal the next Coach.

Earlier you said “ We have a verbal agreement. Still need contract signed. Likely will be signed tmw. That is why not today. I expect tmw to respond with "signed sealed delivered, I'm yours". From likely to sign tomorrow to enjoying the all star break before signing. What the change in expectation?

That’s one spooky woman in the middle nect to the wild haired guy.

Then I could see that a$$hole denying the request lol.

Can one enter the transfer portal before you actually enroll in the school you’re transferring from?

I don’t see why the university couldn’t make an announcement something like “ we have hired coach X effective at the conclusion of the current season whenever that occurs. Hopefully, after a long run to the NCAA championship.” There are advantages to IU and the new coach in making the announcement asap. And certainly would close the door to Woodson IU career. Then again, can see them wait until the season is officially complete.

Have no insight, but being that Baylor is a private Baptist university and he and his wife appear to be devout Christians who are quite comfortable in Waco and Baylor I don’t see him wanting to relocate to Bloomington and a public institution. He’s been there a long time.

Also noticed you said “ going to pay” instead of “ willing to pay”. Freudian slip? Too intense nitpicking?

Oh, oh. Might this be an indication of reluctance on BS’s part? Although increase might also be an indication of willingness to throw the bank at him.

Don’t know who will end up being hired, and realize Dolson didn’t hire all, BUT seems they’ve not done bad in other sports besides men’s bb: football, soccer, women’s bb, baseball, swimming/diving, volleyball. No doubt men’s bb been terrible but willing to give Dolson benefit of doubt and a mulligan on Woodson due to possible political interference.

I can believe it!

As in ‘ it’s likely to be these two’ or ‘ IU needs to not look beyond these two’?

Have zero, zilch knowledge, but have heard of situations where an out for certain schools have been written into contracts. So maybe May has an exclusion in his. Have no idea or opinion actually.

Agree, just my point. People getting upset at IU because they think IU not being decisive and coddling Woodson . Don’t think any of this coming from IU administration. Do think as a past IUBB player of significance there shouldn’t be a public ***** slapping.

Doubtful the “ discussions” going on are about whether he’s going to retire or not. These things are a lot more complicated than just saying “ you’re fired” as he’s leaving before the normal conclusion of his contract. And who knows where the origination of the word discussion came from? More likely, it was the ‘media’s’ way of being vague and not erroneously reporting facts.

I’m retired. You just don’t announce I’m retired, there’s paperwork involved. And once you sign, you just can’t say I’ve changed my mind and go on like you didn’t.

And he shouldn’t. You might not like ( hate) Woodson as coach ( I definitely don’t) but he deserves the respect due a former great IUBB player. If he chooses to be ugly than that’s on him. Like his coach.
