Copied this from ‘ Hoosier Review’ on X AND AGREE. “ Dolson has certainly grown and evolved in his approach. He will have his criteria, and he will get someone as close to that criteria as possible. He knows what has failed at IU, and what is needed to succeed at the current Indiana. The Cignetti hire will have strengthened that resolve.” It was said he was going to do the same analysis he did for football and identify winning characteristics. I’ll believe whoever he hires will have those qualities. Andy hope they are successful.

I wasn’t ever thinking that they’d hire someone they fired previously. :)

I said supposedly only because I had no first hand knowledge. Don’t doubt it in the least.

You think they’d hire Wade or Beard before Brownell?

Supposedly injured as to why.

I had read quite a while ago somewhere that he was going to transfer out so this one may have nothing to do with firing Woodson. But don’t have any insight as to his intentions or why.

But is it into a dead outlet ? Will see if he has any juice.

They could announce today or tomorrow while still coaching, they do it all the time in football. Don’t believe it necessarily, but possible.

Announced, yes. Picked up and brought to Bloomington, no.

Key word is ‘family’ and not one individual member of family. Supposedly, this would not just be a run of the mill job opportunity for BS.

And didn’t he leave Drake to go to WV?

I thought the golden boy was Beard????

Just political grandstanding.

I think I’m done with the Knight tree, assistants and protégés. Honor Knight the coach but let’s move on. Go in and ad new direction.

Maybe, just maybe, it isn’t that IU basketball isn’t the job people think it is, maybe college basketball isn’t what we think it is. Maybe NO university has the attraction it once had to snap their finger and get whoever they deem as the guy.

Keep them coming Isaac my man. Don’t know if you’re BS’ing or not, but making the thread entertaining.

LOL. What did you expect. “ good afternoon. I’d like to announce and welcome Mike Woodson as our new head coach! I really didn’t want to hire him because he’s ill equipped to coach college and a terrible coach.” and maybe he had no choice to sign off of him.

No, let him post. Believe it or not.

Maybe he means the details of the announcement?

Drake is D1 I believe. And made the NCAA. And went 30-3.

Don’t h know how it works in dot coms, but in newspapers ( at least used to be) the headlines were written separately from the article.

Either way it happens it’s a win. :)

Nah, I’ll stay away a couple days. All the negativity gets old.

I think when the new coach is named, unless it’s one or two guys, I’ll stay off this board until the doom and gloom negative woe -is-me end of the world IU basketball is a loser talk subsides. A ( small) portion of this board will not be happy with anyone hired.

I would think that although they might enter portal they would still like to see who the incoming coach might be if they might warnt to stay and play( if wanted).
