Wait, so we're stuck between believing Albers or a pUKe grad? 

[HooHooHoo22 3,902]

Sources close to Donovan says he doesn't even know where Indiana is. He also wasn't aware that Indiana university had a basketball team

What's your take on this?

I find it hard to believe there has been no contact from our end.

I just pictured him walking into Billy Ds office.  Donovan turn an IU mug around so you can't see it and Brett asks him

"Has IU even contacted you, I see all these rumors about it"

Sarcastically Donovan responds

"No, that would never happen"

Pap, Billy D a viable option? 

 

*legitmate would be a better word. 

[rebelhoosier848891 9,588]

If there were 2 finalists maybe there is now 1. He can change his mind but Alford is saying he is 100 percent staying at UCLA. Come on IU schedule the presser already--we want Billy D!

If Justin is lying, I'm thinking the scene in Full Metal Jacket with pillow cases and soap bars is in order.  

I want BD badly.  

I just can't believe Justin though.  He was reporting Alford working on a deal IU a little over a week ago.  He has no scruples.  

if he is lying he needs run out of town for good

That's what the OKC beat writer is going to put his rep on? That Donovan hasn't even been CONTACTED about the Indiana job? There is one person who should have gotten a call before Billy, and we're not that lucky...

Albers isn't lying. He wouldn't put his entire reputation on the line as he's trying to build his own brand/credibility. Now, his sources may be completely wrong, but he clearly has a serious reason to believe Donovan was in Bloomington.

The long term value of his credibility as a journalist is worth far more than what he generated in click throughs on that article.

I think he was in Bloomington. Billy Donovan is gonna lead IU back to greatness

[JSHoosier 19,529]

We can't prove he was in Bloomington, but OKC reporters haven't proven he didn't fly in Thursday night and back sometime Friday Morning.

He wasn't lying. Indiana didn't contact Donovan.

Parker Executive Search contacted Donovan.

SIAP.

@Justin_Albers: Billy Donovan and his wife flew into Monroe County Airport on a Cessna Citation jet today to visit with Indiana brass, per sources. #iubb

Wall of shame!

While the internet was circulating frenzied rumors connecting Billy Donovan to Indiana on Friday, the Oklahoma City Thunder coach was indeed conducting meetings inside a practice facility.

Just not the one in Bloomington.

Speaking with reporters on Saturday, Donovan denied internet chatter claiming he flew to Indiana to meet with university officials about the then-open head coaching position.

“Yesterday morning I was here in practice,” Donovan said. “I was not there. I was here in practice. I was actually in a couple meetings, then went to Russell (Westbrook’s) bowling charity last night.”

Albers once again busted in a lie. He is a joke.
