Time to bully Dolson on social media into not hiring McCollum.

This will define Dolson’s legacy.

You think Brad will Air BNB his home in Center Grove or what?

[WayneFleekHoosier 50,467]

Honestly less excited than I was for the Woodson hire and that’s saying a lot because I hated that hire too. Slow paced boring offense and zero clue the athleticism that will be needed to win at this level.  He’s in for the rudest of awakenings.  Most coaches don’t need rebuilding phases in the portal era but McCollum is gonna need a few learn the ropes seasons.  Indiana isn’t the place to do that.  F Me again.

Do you guys not have a company jet? Do you rent each time?

Our company hitches rides.  Usually from the Boston Sci people.  They are the moneybags in all this.  Our part is big for us, but like 1/5 of the project.  Piss in the wind for Cook or Boston Sci.  But we support 10 other Boston Sci’s globally.  Our cheapskate company would never buy a jet.  They would just put us in coach if we weren’t offered a ride lol.

If it's Mccollum, I am thrilled.

If we couldn’t get Brad or Otz or someone like this, then I am completely stoked by this hire. He’s got a long track record of winning, he’s got a strong scheme and culture, and he produces point guards—just like Cig produces quarterbacks. 
 

Post-Archie trauma seems to be a real thing on this board, but this is an exciting day to be a Hoosier!

Let’s hope our NIL money will convince Stirtz to put off the NBA one more year.

You will still be skeptical, but if you haven't already, this article may help you feel better about him:

I gotta be honest. After reading that article I got a little bit of a chub

[taco corp 197]

IF it is McCollum, I have no choice but to give him a shot, but not a fan of the choice.  Has zero experience in big boy conference basketball, even as an assistant .  That really scares me.  I hope he works out, but I think it would be a 50/50 shot at best.

Drake basketball has one of the slowest paces in the game of basketball, bottom 300’s in 3’s a game. 
 

It’s not modern basketball, do we want to watch more non modern basketball?

Well you’re just a pup! Go Artesians! I hate Notre Dame, but I love hearing their school song. It’s the same tune as Martinsville’s.

Thanks to Coach Bill Siderewicz,  he was hired in the early 70’s Martinsville’s football program was terrible. He wanted to start a tradition so the gold pants because of the connection to Notre Dame’s school song and the stripes on the shoulder pads to reflect UCLA and Wooden. 
Sorry, got off topic and went back in time a bit! Good times, they were.

Now, let’s go reel in this BIG FISH!!!

[Hoosierfanyuh 4,855]

All the tweet says is that he’s one of the top candidates. I will say if it’s not Stevens it’ll be him.

Goodness.  McCollum goes from competing in a Guppy Bowl to the Shark Tank in 1 season.  He will be eaten alive.  We’ve got a Archie Miller part 2 upcoming.  Has no idea what it takes at that level to win and recruit.  F me. 

Pretty sure you said the exact same thing about Dusty May a year ago.

Same, can he bring Stirtz with him?

[Chris007 60,035]

I love it. Dolson gets fans to lower expectations for McCollum then hits them with the hammer. Such a big time move. 
 

Remember last time Goodman said Holtman was almost a done deal.

This. 100%

Mccollum is gonna do well here. 

[Home Jersey 14,822]

Many here will want to wear the crown of leading the McCollum bus when we are all celebrating his success here some day. 

I think Magnamious and Ryno may be the earliest ones I'm aware of! 

It would be a long shot to hope for more of a name, just not where IU is as a program.

I don't think this Goodman tweet is definitive by any means. 

Not gonna pull a championship caliber coach. Gotta find someone undervalued.

Douchey analogy but ... like stocks, buy low, sell high.

Better him than a "proven" P5 guy who has been mid most of his career IMO. 

Eventually they will get it right. Lot to like in McCollum's profile.

Yes it's a risk. The upside makes the fan in me feel excited, not doom and gloom.

Google him. He wins. (I know that's getting old already lol)

Hasn’t been one for a long time.

If we hire McCollum we can all agree that it could be again, but that there’s certainly risk with every hire.

The thing I like best about McCollum? I’ve now heard enough of his interviews and the thing I’ve learned about him is that he is an obsessive compulsive “details matter” coach.

Stu coming around to the idea? Welcome aboard sir!
