Um, no.  I’m not sure what you think I’m biased about.  I do happen to understand what evidence is, which is pretty hard for some people these days.

Look, I heard from a donor a claim that Beard was being considered two weeks ago.  I sent a DM about it to one of the insiders here.  I know exactly where it’s coming from.  Haven’t seen any evidence to confirm whether it’s real or a misdirection.

Yeah, this will always be the place to come for hard evidence.  I agree.  Personal bias.  Every person has it.  It turns into confirmation bias, which it seems you are looking for.  That’s what I meant.  Nothing too deep.  Not trying to offend with it, but you come to a place like this for evidence and get frustrated and shoot others down if they don’t provide evidence?  Just doesn’t make a ton of sense.

This should go without saying obviously, but there will be no press conference tomorrow. I’ll be able to take the lid off a bit later in the week. But will say this, anybody providing details right no

I’ve had several PM’s so wanted to drop a quick line to the broader board. Love this group and fully intend to continue to contribute to the community, Im not going anywhere. (Sorry to a few of you) B

So I couldn’t get much from him unfortunately. But, to me that’s a good thing. There’s been pretty much zero chatter, nor leaks for a month about coaches. He said it doesn’t matter that the season is

Not asking for a name but some context for how you derive this. I know how enough about how the others build confidence in the Stevens angle to follow for that but nothing on this perspective other than he is a top candidate from you. 

He is absolutely being considered as a candidate. You don’t have to believe me. I’m ok with it.

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.)
The mccollum love because he won at d2 still is baffling given our need to win big right away. I kind of wish cig never happened it really seems to have convinced some McCullough is a sure thing

Yeah, in that situation, you will always be skeptical as you don’t sit in on those meetings.  As a skeptic, what is the point coming to a place like this to have these discussions?  You expect IU79887 to carry a tape recorder to have those discussions?  So you can have your, hard evidence. 

No, but I can evaluate the source and determine how likely it is they know who we are looking at, and VERY IMPORTANTLY, if they did know, would they give that information out to someone or just throw some names out as misdirection.

He’s a phenomenal coach and an A+ hire from a basketball perspective. He is also very much not the guy I’d prefer to be the face of the school. 

Good thing we have Cignetti as the newly minted face of the university. I’m not sure any hire we make will unseat him as such.

Good luck finding that here.  In 25 years I have never seen that shot out there on a board.

I am fine with him if vetted. Just looking for more reason to believe

Atleast Cignetti had P5 experience before he was a HC. McCollum has none at all.

None of our candidates are sure things and we need to stop thinking about candidate risk as all or nothing. 

 

Of course he's not a sure thing. Neither is Beard, even on the court. Nor would Dusty May be. 

If we think anything less than hiring a guaranteed success as a head coach is a failure then I don't think we're reading the coaching market (or college basketball in general) correctly.

Convenient that you’re leaving out the fact that he’s at the very top of his league in year 1 in Division 1. 
 

Also….. absolute mind numbing take saying you wish Cig never happened. Wild.

Rabby is now giving dates. Says Beard was vetted and IU was looking into him Thursday. He says IU has moved on from him.

2 hours ago he said he was being vetted…. What changed?

Respectfully, I don’t think Rabjohns knows much with this search. Based on who is in and who is out (from Rabjohns)…it’s sounds like it’s Brownell…now I do think Brownell has a chance but slim

Rabby is ridiculous 

Guessing it’s just those assumptions again working overtime and he is ridiculous.  I tried correcting what he said 2 hours ago.  Lucky guess on my part.  And agree with you.

Why do they “need to win big right away”?  Of course we would all like to see the new coach have them at the top of the conference next year, but if it takes until year 2 or 3 and the coach is building the program up in a way that makes sense and will lead to long term success then I’m good with that.
