Didn’t realize I was breaking any rules, my bad. To paraphrase what was shared… McCollum is not the clear favorite to land the job at this juncture. Other coaches (mostly from the Big 12 it seems) are in play. Unconfirmed if Stevens is in play or not. Seems there are still some who are saying it’s Stevens, but nothing confirmed. Brownell, Collins, and McDermott are not serious candidates at this time.

@IUFB over on Peegs is dropping some bangers tonight. Far more insight than Rabjohns has provided in an entire week.

Unsure if Goobman is an intentional misspelling but I gave your post a like just for that alone

Let’s not do to others what we don’t like done to us. It’s Auburn University, not University of Auburn. Sorry I’m an Auburn fan on the side. Family went there. Still a Hoosier first and foremost!

This guy literally just repeats things he sees on message boards. He is not an insider. He has no special knowledge of the coaching search. He’s a Peegs subscriber and posts there often.

We’ll just have to see who it is I suppose.

If we lose today, I see no reason to wait till next week or later to announce the new coach. It’s clear this team doesn’t have the chops to accomplish much if they sneak into the NCAA tourney. Let’s just announce the coach (assuming the deal is done) and have something positive to discuss.

Personally I think the timing of announcing it after selection Sunday and before the start of the tourney makes perfect sense. Waiting too long to announce it can set the incoming coach back in terms of building a roster and a staff. Announcing right before the start of the tourney can be great for press. It can take the negative spotlight off Woodson, for starters. It’ll be discussed constantly during halftimes and between games on every channel. Sure it’ll take up some airtime during any game(s) IU plays, but it’s already a known fact that Woodson is done at the conclusion of his last game. I don’t think it’ll be the sort of distraction most folks think. The players and staff are at this point are quite used to the fact that Woodson will be gone. Also, Dolson knows he can’t hold back the tide forever. Eventually the leaks will come out. Better to set a target date and make sure everyone in the know holds off until then.

My Center Grove realtor friend told me to shut up when I asked him hahaha

@Chris007 why’d you say this and then drop the Bargersville rumors today lmao

If we gotta do this again in four years there's no place I'd rather do it lmao these cats are f'n wild in here

Is this a bad time to mention that my mother in law has a twin sister?

This is pretty standard here, I've come to learn

Riling us up is great for engagement. Every online college basketball personality loves talking about IU, especially to **** on us, because it drives the numbers up.

Dammit man the last thing I needed for my mental health was to be reminded of Lost

I don't care what anyone says, this is by far the most entertaining IU message board I've ever been on, and I've been on damn near all of them lol. I'm kinda gonna miss this coaching search when it's finally over, solely because of the BTB crew

Can comfortably say that is not plausible lol

Wouldn't have it any other way. Honestly at this point as a fanbase we should just lean into the "delusional" insults that other fans and media members throw our way. Makes everything so much more fun.

It is hump day after all

Discussion that he might be in the mix for a front office-esque role. Rumors, no substantiation. But I like the sound of it and hope it's true. He's been doing a great job with the Warriors from all accounts.

Not even a little bit. My understanding is that there's little or no knowledge of IU pursuing anyone, only rumors.

This is where I'm at. The lack of substantive noise surrounding rumored candidates is telling. Certainly feels to me like Dolson has had this figured out for a while.

That's more like it. Join us, Hornsby.
