For me the ‘solely gifs that are completely irrelevant’ thing is annoying and seems trollish.

Others may think irrelevant gifs are wonderful, but I guess I’m not a fan of them.

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

Reading the tea leaves….I don’t think this search is going particularly well.  If someone was a hard, definite “no” initially is now “well, on 2nd thought…” likely means one thing.  We are striking out a good bit on the top choices.

Putting aside my IU basketball cynicisms for a moment, I'm going to say that I don't believe Brownell is actually a candidate. I just have a hard time believing he'd be Dolson's guy. This feels like something we've spoken into existence. 

 

Getting rid of Woodson wasn't easy, and required persuading some people with very deep pockets. I doubt those people favored moving on if the new guy was going to be Brad Brownell. 

Moving on from Woodson, the candidate needs to have a name that gets the Boosters out of bed.

I rather have Dane Fife than the Clemson fella. I think Dane could be a hell of a HC again somewhere, but family usually does come first so I understand him stepping away from the game for a bit. 

OK. Mark the date and time that this thread officially jumped the shark.

Dammit! I warned all of you! Don’t say his name three times or we wish it into existence….lol

This is what I keep coming back to. This isn’t firing little Archie after four seasons and no tournament appearances. This is firing a program legend, and RMK favorite with what looks like 3/4 tourney seasons (fools gold of course, but on paper it is what it is). Dolson isn’t firing Mike Woodson to turn around and hire Brad Brownell. I’m firmly in the camp he takes a shot on a mid major with an unknown ceiling before retreading an average at best P5 guy.

I like your style Stu. To clarify this GIF was me nodding in agreement to your post. Far from irrelevant. In fact I’d argue none of my visuals have been irrelevant. In fact I’ve tried to convey to the group what information I’ve been provided.  

Some post long missives to make their point. Totally fine. I prefer pop culture visuals to espouse mine..

There’s some concerns with me regarding Ben, that’s revolves around style of play. Consider these rankings in the B1G / P4 basketball. 
 
337 in D1 in 3PT ATTEMPTS / GAME

363 in D1 IN FGA ATTEMPTS / GAME

364 in D1 in PACE

OFFENSIVE RATING - 51

DEFENSIVE RATING - 31

That doesn’t get me excited. It doesn’t sound fun to watch although I watched the game today and it was pretty fundamental.

What if he has to because he has 4 D2 players that start?

While true, we’re dealing with the same guy who bought out Archie for $10 million to turn around and hire Mike Woodson.

I'd take the next sure thing mccollum over bronwell. Bronwell would likely be a bust imo.

Is misspelling almost every coach’s name a schtick?

Haha. I’ll admit if I’m wrong. But too many coincidences lead me to believe this is and has been done for a few weeks. 
 

how come each leak gets debunked quickly?

Here’s my question, if this has been done for awhile why are they still vetting people?

Then win! Seems to make people happy, eh?

 

Of course Indiana fans seem sour. They won at the highest levels for a half-century & suddenly became mediocre due to bad hires. Stu you hit the nail right on the head: Win and Life is Good

Why is Schertz getting any heat? Seriously…..he should be “the sky is falling” candidate,only…..I would take Alford over Schertz…

I would take Pitino Jr over Alford.  That's not an endorsement at all, though.

Very much appreciate the clarification. And I also like your ‘words’.

Isn’t that what an insider is? Someone privy to inside information that the rest of the public isn’t?

That's why message board insiders don't exist. A true insider with actual knowledge won't share anything. Someone who's roommate is an Uber driver who gave someone a ride isn't an insider. They're a tipster

Maybe this is why we get crappy coaches because the top coaches don't want to come here. They see the fan base turns quickly on the coach if they don't win right away.

That's any fan base of a high major, basketball-centric program.  It takes stones to take on any of those jobs, yet they can get winners. If the fans are too much, you weren't fit for the job anyway.

 

And this job? This job is at the heart of a state that proudly touts itself as basketball country. This program rose to the pinnacle of college basketball, in basketball country, under a hard @$$ who didn't give or accept excuses and had skin thicker than leather. The expectation for this job was set 50 years ago and hasn't been met for 25 of them. The person who can withstand the scrutiny, block out the noise, and handle his s*** is the person we need on our sideline. That person cannot also be the same person who gets feelings hurt by rabid fans.

Sounds like something I would say, but if you do have the thread links, he was on my short list behind Brad, Billy, and I want to say Fife? Let me know if you find them because I’d like to see my short list again after Crean was dismissed. 

You can use the search function to find the Archie Miller hired thread but it’s a little work to go back far enough and then I think around page 260 is where it gets going.  You said IM DONE not I’m dead.  Very interesting to go back a read those
