Would be weird to announce a new coach on Monday when the candidates we are hearing about are preparing for a tournament game (and likely IU). 

Unless it is someone currently not coaching…

 

I do think no matter what that Dolson will wait until our season is finished out of respect for the current team and staff. They can wait until the season is done and not take attention away from the guys still playing. 

I think it's to get some stuff in order before portal opens (march 24th) (obviously only if they aren't coaching in tourney)

He didn’t cooperate with the NCAA because he was being railroaded while guys like Bill Self and Sean Miller got off Scot-free

Bill self literally had an assistant coach on audio offering Zion’s dad a coaching job and a house if Zion committed and not only didn’t he get fired he kept coaching for Kansas

It’s just weird multiple people have said March 17th but that date literally only works if someone is currently not in the NCAA Tournament

And Sean Miller was caught on the same FBI wire tap talking to the same FBI subject (Christian Dawkins) facilitating payments to DeAndre Ayton. But since Will Wade was a mid-30’s, up and comer at a non-basketball school…the NCAA had to bury somebody.

Exactly. Could you imagine being a Drake, Clemson, Creighton, or McNeese State fan excited to find out on Sunday where your team is headed for the tournament and 24 hours later hear your coach is bailing once you lose?

Announcements like that happen after teams are eliminated.

Heck ya. I’m pretty new here and have mainly been a Peegs guy to this point.  @IUFB and @ap2345 are my two favorite posters over there. 

It’s way better over here. I only use peegs for recruiting

Not sure if anyone posted this but IF IU actually considered Wade then only the first two bullet points would apply. Stuff his assistants could very easily do. I would totally be down with Wade if he’s Vetted and IU is satisfied with his answers to the hard questions 

no. just no.

I explained that. Once they got beyond preliminary stage, MT has asked for more info on status of process at each stage and SD has been transparent. Upstanding guy.

Yep agree with you. Also people are complaining about Watford wanting Wade but his brother played under Wade so he would know Wade better than any of us

Has there been some rumor wade is even under consideration?

Just a lot of social media speculation. Most people don’t know what’s really going on, so I was just putting a list out there for fun. That’s all

Tomorrow it’s my turn to start the Brad Stevens rumor!

Nah you’re responsible for the Martin Inglesby rumors. I heard he’s promised to bring Izaiah Pasha with him

Yeah, I call BS... Dolson should have burned it to the ground... kicked his butt out in February so he could tend to these "threats". 

If I recall his daughter sited one tweet threat sent to her. The tweet stated. "Please tell you dad to quit."

 

Chilling!

So if we are down to 4 according to some (excluding Stevens for this conversation, and for some odd reason feel compelled to leave off Turgeon as well…..)  McDermott, Wade, McCollum, and Brownell, what is everyone’s preference here? They all bring something different, so I would be curious on what posters are thinking would be best for IU out of the group I listed. 
 

**I’m not saying it’s actually down to those 4, but after today, just going off of some generalizations.**

McDermott-  Yes, hallelujah 

McCollum- Yes, interesting 

Brownell- Yeah, ok

What they said was  the coaching search wrapped up by the 17th -- that is everything done at that point and they have their guy.  Doesn't mean an announcement would be made if IU or whoever is signed's team is still playing.

Kansas stood by him and didn’t fire him and said let’s fight it. It worked

Plus it’s Kansas. Too big of a school to hurt. LSU/Wade was perfect fit to be like “hey guys, stop it. We are serious”

Exactly. The point is to be proactive and to hire these guys before somebody else does. Not let somebody else take a chance on him, he wins big and gets comfortable, and by then he won't want to leave while we're floundering with whatever mediocre coach we decided to hire instead.

The decision on whether or not to hire someone shouldn't be based on a fear that someone else will hire him. The hire should be based on whether or not IU wants to hire him.
