  1. Got my attention! Scoop or just a feeling????
  2. I’m a BIG YES on getting Moye involved (shocker). He currently works with a lot of aspiring NBA talent on skill development. A completely underrated aspect to all of this working (though Dolson did mention it in his original presser). It’s a huge part of what makes Nate Oats successful. Working a ton on individual skills in practice (not just coaching X’s and O’s) so that when the floor is spread and you find that favorable matchup players can use that skill to beat their man and get to the basket for an easy two. Many AAU coaches get this. It was a shocker that Archie didn’t.
  3. Is that a Ford!!! We were tracking the wrong black SUV all week!!!!
  4. It’s been an hour and we’re already comparing Mike Woodson to God??? Lol
  5. Looks to me like the coach in waiting is Thad Matta as he (hopefully) returns to better health. In 7 years when Woodson retires, Matta will be younger than Woodson is right now by 3 years! I’m being serious btw.
  6. Sorry has the bring this over from the other thread ..... So the NBA offense plus IU ties plus “clean hands” rules the day. Extremely curious to see how this works. Knicks fans are sad to see him leave. They love the guy (not that that means anything). If Muss can flame out of the NBA and find success in college maybe Woodson can. Without breaking down their individual teams we’re talking a 43% NBA winning percentage (Muss) vs. a 46% NBA winning percentage (Woodson). The great news is we’ll find out about his ability to recruit IMMEDIATELY with the transfer portal. While the farthest thing from the splash I was hoping for, I’m cautiously optimistic. It has worked for Muss and all his used car salesman antics. Why can’t it work for Woodson???
  7. This is organization building 101 — like it

    Agreed. Only caveat is if he decides running a “clean at all costs” program supersedes the NBA style offense. In which case it’s Moser.

    And honestly we should all be ecstatic about this —— IMO

    Yes. I’d go after Oats with whatever the offer was to Stevens. MAKE HIM SAY NO. The personality. The style of play. Lock him up right now with a big deal before he ends up in the NBA and never looks back. Said it before. I’d be even more excited about him then Stevens right now. I want to believe this is possible!!!

    You make additional good points, Southside and I agree and personally wouldn’t mind operating in the gray (truthfully all these kids should be getting paid anyway — just my opinion and respect others seeing it differently). You mention Knight’s discipline and I think it’s been clear OFF THE COURT DISCIPLINE has been sorely lacking largely since Knight’s departure. We all have our stories — whether it’s girls or parties, etc. Not saying every player who has come through in the last 20 years is guilty. Far from it. And I don’t blame the players. They are kids wanting to enjoy their college experience. Just saying we need a coach who can not only get these guys to play tough D and make open shots, we also need a coach who can keep these “campus rockstars” focused on basketball. Not an easy task in Bloomington, IN.

    Seeing a lot of tweets about Sampson and realize it’s a hot button as many of us are on different sides of the “we need to be more flexible breaking the rules” argument. Sore subject but just want everyone to be clear as to why the administration(s) have been so adamant about being sqeaky clean (and yes I do believe that will continue to be a factor in our next hire). So why is the admin so adamant? Drumroll ....... Robert Montgomery Knight. That is the absolute irony in all of this. Bobby put this program on his back and built it into a National power. A true blue blood by anyone’s measure throughout his tenure. BUT, his antics ultimately lead to his dismissal and put the administration on a course where they were terrified to ever subject themselves or the university to those types of public relations nightmares ever again. And 20 years later, here we are. The administration doesn’t have to worry about physical, emotional, etc. abuse allegations or “illegal texts” ..... but they do have to worry about a bad basketball team. “Every action has an equal and opposite reaction.” —— I guess Newton was right. Does he coach basketball???

    Is this the latest theory Feathery?? If so, I could absolutely believe it. Also explains why Archie has been radio silent since his exit — he is ticked!!! (Of course he‘s ticked anyway)

    Hi guys. Been gone all day. Too many pages to get through. Any actual news or new rumors? Congrats to IUWBB!!

    Respectfully disagree. Two days ago who had Shaka leaving “the great job” at basketball powerhouse Texas (sarcasm) for Marquette. I’m not saying it’s a high chance but I def don’t think it’s zero on Muss or Oats.

    Definitely true Alabama can match but it’s impossible for us to say what motivates him. Oats grew up in the Midwest. He saw Bobby hanging banners. He knows what Indiana basketball really means or at least what it used to mean even if many do not want to acknowledge it. His Wiki page talks of the core values he preaches — one being “selfless love.” Same type of culture builder of another coach of ours who happened to attend the same college as Oats. They likely know each other as others have stated. This might be Tom Allen’s greatest recruiting job of all time. Or maybe Oats just wants to sit on Bobby’s thrown. It may be a long shot, yes. But something tells me Nate Oats ascension is quite the long shot in his mind already.

    Again, I hope hope hope Doyel is right. It verifies the fat stack of chips Dolson is throwing around. Time to crack a beer sit back and enjoy what's to come.

    I'm honestly feeling better and better about this search. Agree with others that the longer it goes (to a point) the better. We're either getting a big fish or we're getting Beilein with Lewis on the bench. Either is win win to me. I could give an absolute **** what the national media or Goodman have to say. We will be back!

    We shall see, Mr. Aaron Torres. Oh yes, we shall see mwah ha ha Scott Dolson scoffs at $12M buyouts!!!

    Loved both those guys as players ---- not sure I want them as coaches yet ------ but going back to a convo from a couple nights ago, when Lewis busted that kid from Iowa in the face on the inbounds pass, I'm nearly positive it was the second time that game --- that's why he was flailing around on the floor like he was!!! An all time proud Hoosier moment. Lewis is a hardmass

    Friends!!! We are focused on the wrong things!!!! HERE IS THE MOST IMPORTANT POST YOU'LL SEE ALL NIGHT (if your goal is to relax and enjoy your Friday night) Look at Holtman's buyout. I hope the rumor is true. That means we're swimming in the deep end. Exactly where we need to be. Do you know of anyone else who has a $12M buyout that many of us would be pretty stinking excited about???? If Holtman rumors are true is PROVES money is not an issue and Dolson WILL land a premium target. Which one remains to be seen. PS. my apologies if this has already been posted, it's very hard to keep up!!!

    I don't disagree but it just feels like IU might be acting like the injured pitbull right now. Glass didn't mind calling out the rivals a few months back (see quote). I'm thinking Dolson just doesn't give a **** and whoever gave him the cash doesn't either. We've allowed ourselves to be pushed around and it's time for that to stop. Hoping this hire proves it.

    It's all part of the cash game friends ...... they're mandated to hate IU
