This is why I keep saying this is the best search I have ever been around. Today I have had two people tell me it's Collins

Another buddy sent me McDermott done deal, I also got a McCollum done deal

I got a not Stevens but someone just as big

Last night was told the hire has been made since March 1st

Spoke to an agent who said that Drew and May couldn't get an interview because Dolson already had his guy at the end of Feb.

I love this but ready for it to be over. 

Does this mean Mark Few signed on the bottom line?

Especially with the portal.  If I am a player and I have no intention of being at my school, I have zero desire to stick around for several more weeks for a tournament nobody gives two ***** about.

Agree. This is going to be like a bowl game between top teams that didn’t make the playoffs so it’s their 3rd stringers. 

[Woodsonshump]

All names have been smokescreens so far. Indiana is hot on the trail of Pete Bell, and Happy Kuykendall is coming with him to set up the “Friends of the Program”. Mark it down, it’s a done deal. Time for some basketballs to get kicked up into the stands! Coaching camps will be held in Algiers.

I need this to be settled before I go to Georgia next Wednesday.

Going to be a great walk-on tourney

Agree.

Although I am philosophically against guys sitting out it would be a tragedy if some dude blew out his knee playing in the “made-up, who gives a sh!te” Crown tourney.
In this case I’d agree with a player taking a pass.

I can't see this Crown tournament actually taking place. Players, coaches and fans want to wait another 3 weeks to watch, play or coach a team that they probably couldn't wait to be done with? I'm sure the ratings will be stellar. Starting at center for Indiana is 6' 5" Jordan Rayford. And at PG is some guy named Craig that IU found at the upstairs pub last night.

[IU05]

For those of us keeping the dream alive for Our Guy, let’s assume this has been Brad for awhile, but in one final effort to keep everyone off the trail leading up to the announcement, the remaining potential coaching names are being released bit by bit to cause confusion.

That is insanity.

Drew and May couldnt get an interview, but Smart supposedly got one?  

Lots of things that do not add up.

We should send the intramural champions.

Just as big as Stevens, not many of those.

I have no idea what the Crown is. Does that take place in England? Do I get fish n chips for watching? F*ck the Crown. Let's hire BS and shock the CBB world

 

[coonhounds]

This hire better be brad cause I fear almost anyone else we hire will be bad. I am officially doom and gloom until I see a reason not to be. We need a splash hire for instant juice. A reason to pack the hall for hoosier hysteria. Not some mid major hot shot imo

Maybe someone like Oats would be close but that's probably about it.  The other good coaches are too old to be home runs.

Either Dolson is doing a great job keeping this search close to the vest... or he's an undiagnosed schizophrenic that's just hired 5 different imaginary coaches.

I put May and Drew in the real interviews, Smart in the courtesy interview with the search firm
