General Coach Candidate News

[JustWinBaby 654]

It is well-known that tweeting about Indiana is great for engagement. Everyone who covers college basketball loves tweeting about IU because it always ends up in a blockbuster tweet. People just can’t help themselves.

It’s important not to put too much stock in whatever random journalists say who don’t have close ties to the program. Goodman has good sources, but his sources are not in the IU athletic department. So there’s only so accurate his sources can be.

Rabjohns just the other day was saying he’s heard mixed things about basically every candidate. Information changes constantly and it’s difficult to verify anything. What’s true one day can become untrue the next, and vice versa.

Bottom line: nothing’s a done deal till it’s official. And we don’t actually know what’s going on. Dolson is keeping this thing locked down.

Well, yeah, you would need Indiana sources to know that for sure.  The fact that Beard or his agents think (or just tell people) he is in the running doesn't mean squat.

Couldn't Goodman got this info from those coaches agents

I really don't get the mccollum love given our current situation. I also don't get people seeming convinced he would win here after what we saw with archie. Are people just blinded by cig and think mccollum is cig no matter what

Just a couple of points

1.  I don't believe Goodman's daughter Talia is still involved with IU sports media as she's now affiliated with On3.  Certainly she would have friends, etc., but I don't believe she's nearly as close to IU as she had been.  FWIW, she does a fantastic job covering women's bball.

2.  Dolson isn't just hiring a bball coach.  He's betting his career that he makes the right choice.

3.  I also follow 247 and IMO everyone should take a grain of salt with Raby's comments.  I'm not convinced he's just not throwing stuff on 247 that he's picking up from the likes of Goodman, etc., and it's not really coming from inside IU.

You have it backwards. Cig is McCollum Jr.

Before you get to Brownell.

Will Frigin' Wade!!!

I don’t see Dolson getting involved with a former FBI subject of interest.

Simple answer, yes.  Most any leaked info on any search comes from the firm or agents throughout a search.  For various reasons, and most are selfish, yes.  Even if they have no ambition to leave it provides an opportunity to get a raise.

I agree. I don’t think McCollum is going to be the hire though

Probably. I’m going to go out on a limb and say he is getting his info on Drew straight from Drew.   They are pretty close.   When his daughter was looking at colleges she visited Baylor and Drew set it up like it was a recruiting trip they would do for recruits.  Goodman said scott did that even though  he knew she was never going to to go to Baylor.   If Drew was to go to IU or stay at Baylor Goodman will be the one to break it

I wouldn’t be surprised if Iowa is going to hire McCollum in the next year or two and we will be regretting letting him get away when we had the chance

He would be really interesting up there.  I would love that hire.

Dolson = close to the vest which is another reason why I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s a big name coach nobody is talking about

"Goodman doesn't know what he's talking about about."

"Chris Beard is definitely a no."

Brought to you by the people that thought Scott Dolson and Brad Stevens had a meeting in the New Mexico desert to become the IU coach.

McCollum would be so underwhelming. I’ve been waiting my whole life for IU to be good. I don’t want to wait yet again for another coach to come in and take several years to try to figure things out. Shades of “don’t worry, it takes four years to learn the packline defense.”

Our only great coach RMK came to IU as a 31 year old coach who played a deliberate offense and a great defense. Our fans were use to the Hurrying Hoosiers and didn't like this kind of basketball but it didn't take much time for the fans to buy in.

Wade was never an FBI subject of interest. Neither was Sean Miller, Bill Self, etc….the guys on the other end of the phone however were. It’s not against Federal Law to commit NCAA violations. Dolson had zero problem with Woodson hiring Yasir Rosemond.

With how it appears the coaching search is unraveling out of control, you would think Chris, RTZ, Jerry, etc...would chime in one way or another with what they've mostly recently have heard...but we're not getting that...why?...I think it's because this search is going how Scott Dolson wants it to...

Chris chimed in saying he didn’t believe what Goodman was saying

Facts matter. They weren’t in the desert. They were on a specially reconstructed TV set!

More of “Goodman doesn’t know what he is talking about until I think he agrees with my stance”.  I legit don’t think he said much.  People are just trying to read into every little thing at a pace that would make the right and left in American politics blush.
