Couldn't Goodman got this info from those coaches agents

If you apply for a job, would you really know for sure if you’re being considered, or would the company doing the hiring know that?

Wrong. Absolutely wrong. With Goodman and IU his reporting is never wrong, he just adds an insult to it. Like with Thad Matta, he said he was out. Then he added his own thing and said he couldn't believe IU fans thought they could get Matta.

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

Yeah, I saw that...but Chris also said he's trying to keep a positive vibe...which I appreciate...but you're right, if Chris had heard any solid "nos" from people, he'd share it with the board...

"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.

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

They really don’t have much in common (Archie and McCollum). 
 

Archie was decent at a place where most coaches win. 
 

McCollum finished first in his conference 13 of 14 years. 
 

He also has 4 national championships. 
 

He also has an undefeated season, 2 seasons with only 1 loss, and 6 others with 5 or fewer losses. 
 

Archie never won at that level.

Until they start checking backgrounds and references?  No

[Hornsby 3,416]

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

God I hope not

Facts not in evidence.

His tweets today contained no sources and was just him opinionating

For me, I take it all with a grain of salt. In the end, the insiders on this forum or people like Goodman are simply saying what they hear. Or inferring things from what they hear. If people choose to believe any of it, it’s on them if they are disappointed. Confirmation bias is a real thing and we see it played out when everything being bantered about is all opinion. Makes it fun for people like me who put zero stock in anything I read.

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

He was part of an FBI investigation. Yasir is an AC, not HC. There’s a difference.

Coaching Changes (who is pretty “in the know” circling back to Beard.) This is in response to Goodman.

[Hornsby 3,416]

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 

We have regretted not hiring alot of guys but he could also be a bust

The bigger issue is the show cause penalty that would transfer to IU. I think IU is too risk-adverse to do that.

Seems some are civinced mccollum is the next great thing. Heard the same talk about archie. But of course people will now claim they never said that about archie

Sure, if you have any evidence that happened 

[OKHOOSIER 5,294]

I think a lot of people myself included just believe that if we get to a point where Collins or Brownell are serious contenders, why not just take the chance on lightning in a bottle with McCollum. Worst case either way we do this again in four years. It's why I would prefer Cronin, just proven stability. Brownell or Collins do not provide that kind of guarantee. If we cannot hire someone who is, why not take a shot on someone winning 80% of their games. For Dolson, a gamble on Brownell or Collins being exactly what they have been at the high major level and him getting fired seem just as good as McCollum being crazy good and Dolson getting a lifetime contract.

But Archie had also recruited All American type players as a top assistant. That’s the part that’s hard to project with McCollum. (Personally I’m willing to risk it.)

I like McCollum, but I don’t think he is ready for big leagues though.

That I agree although it expires in June. Still think he’s a much safer risk than Chris Beard.
