Yeah. I know where the Pacers box is and looked over there and didn’t see him.
-
I’m also in the lower bowl and haven’t seen him.
-
Heard a rumor it’s down to Beard and Turgeon.
-
My dream scenario is Bruce Pearl. I’d be happy with Stevens but Pearl is the guy for me.
-
I agree...there are a lot of names that will unite the majority of the fan base, but we need to get a freaking NAME. Gotta make a splash. People bring up Duke, UK, even UL as schools that didn't make a splash hire. We NEED it more than any of them. IU's mediocrity has settled in for too long to make a blah hire. What name would you be happy with? I’d be fine with McDermott or Shaka.
-
I think the fanbase desire for Stevens puts a cloud over the program. One that will create a negative storm for whoever else gets hired. We saw a little bit of it yesterday when people thought it was McCollum.
-
Agreed. I’m sure Dolson asked weeks ago. I think Bozich has it right and it’s Brownell.
-
Add Kevin Willard to the list.
-
I’ll do what I’ve done the last 8 years. Won’t make an effort to get tickets to games. Watch from home if they are good and when they are bad I will just check the scores and dream for the day they take basketball seriously again.

I listened to a football podcast a couple months ago. They were saying Iowa NIL was in shambles. That 1 booster is footing the bill to finish out this year because other boosters didn’t pay what was committed to the players. So 1 guy is making sure people get what they are contractually obligated to get. That’s not a good situation. So yeah WV is in a much better spot.
-
Ready for Brownell?
-
So I missed 30 pages this morning it seems. What did I miss?
-
Cig coached at Bama and recruited top level talent. McCollum will need help with introductions to the Indiana high school scene. I’m a believer in NIL helping a new coach build a roster quickly. I also think there is some talent on the team and coming in next year.
-
I actually like McCollum. Dolson is smart enough to get a staff around him to help bridge any gap. He brought in Fife and Matta before. He will get a good GM in place. Which would be coming regardless and is already in place in other big ten schools.
-
If it’s not the A tier candidates I’d much rather take a swing at a guy like McCollum than someone like Brownell. Regardless of who the next coach is, the fanbase needs to back him. Show support and rally the program.
-
I didn’t know you wanted Brad Brownell so bad. Relax man. It will be ok.
-
I’m not worried about game planning. I’m worried about recruiting. IU has the NIL, get him some help landing the level of relent needed and he will win big.
-
I dunno. I was always no to luke warm on the Archie hire. This one I think can go a different way. I know it’s a lower level than IU and it may not translate, but the McCollum definitely wins wherever he has been. Dolson will need to surround him with a great bench and GM to help with the learning curve.
-
Who is arguing that it is? It has the potential to be one but it hasn’t been for 30 years. The right coach can have us flying again. Doesn’t have to be a big name. Just the right coach.
-
Today’s rumor is Ben Johnson to IU.
-
It was legal then too. The rule was actually illegal, it just hadn’t been challenged in court.
-
Sounds like a guy in contention for the IU job to me.
-
Not sure why people think Iowa is going to snag some good coaches. Their NIL is in shambles. Boosters weren’t donating what they pledged so 1 guy has had to foot the bill for like the last several months to ensure the players get what is contractually obligated to them. A top coach isn’t going to Iowa.
-
Except for where he is coaching. He is by far the best coach ever there. Done things no other coach has done at NW. NW isn’t lowering academic standards and isn’t playing in the grey either. He has been a huge success and elevated NW well above their previous best.
-
I’m a Michigan football fan, so I hear and read a lot of basketball crossover. Dusty has had a good year and they are happy. But they also have recognized that once he got figured out, he didn’t have a plan B. And they have struggled down the stretch.
