What if Dolson thinks he’s the best coach? 

Then he needs to meet Mark Turgeon.

At minimum, there was a verbal. That’s facts. Period. And others can vouch for that, but I won’t speak for them.

Actually I can understand if it’s not Brad why he’s not showing his face lol

Maybe from some of the fly by night trolls, but not a well respected long-time poster like him

Lol so much I could say, and want to say, but I’ll bite my tongue and just say I hope you’re right on McCollum

I'm getting rattled that you and @Chris007 seem rattled...

Texas up 4 under a minute in 2OT. Does a UT win knock IU out?

They must love IU as much as Mike Woodson haha

How long does it typically take players to learn McCollum's system? He wins a lot but he's mostly been at one school so he would've had an established system and probably just typical turnover. This year his team starts a bunch of seniors who followed him from D2. So does anyone here know if he typically plays upperclassmen who have been with him for a while and learned the system or is it a mix that includes underclassmen? 

At the P5 level, it would be very hard to get a bunch of talented recruits to come in and ride the bench for a year or two if it takes time to learn. Even 3* players.

You don’t fire Woody mid season to hire some guy D2 guy from Drake. I’ll say, my one source was someone in the athletic office. As of weeks ago, heck, even over a month ago, it was Brad. Up until about two weeks ago, it was Brad. He’s since gone eerily quiet, which I assumed was a good thing. Apparently he went quiet out of shame. If this is true, what an utter failure on Scott’s part. Brad was literally in the bag. 

Maybe just locking it down from within? Or is that wishful thinking based on your relationship?

No, give me mccollum any day over Medved!

The fact that we’re in the same conversation as Minnesota and Iowa is sad. Clearly, if we hire a d2 career coach then pass in our Blue Blood card. It’s humbling but I will finally admit we are no longer the desired job that I thought we were. At least Sampson / Archie and Crean were wanted coaches. McCollum is the back up to Iowa lol 

[SlammySammy 1,684]

About to get heated in here between the McCollum and Stevens crews. Rumble!

I would 1 million percent take Woody over a D2 coach. And I loathe woody 

“D2 Coach” … try:

-4 time D2 National Championship winner

-30-3 in his first season at D1 with wins over Miami, Vanderbilt, FAU, and Kansas St out of conference. Woody could dream.

-Respected across college basketball and asked for advice by coaches like McCasland, May, and Schertz.

Get a grip. This is a much bigger name than Woody, Archie, or yes, Crean.

That’s a lot more than Ben McCollum. I guess he didn’t recruit any of them down in D2

I gotta believe if it wasn’t Brad @JerryYeagley23 would have been here a  long time ago to tell everyone to give up the wishful thinking. He’s been tagged 1,000 times over the last month. 

Love the optimism, but didn’t @JerryYeagley23 have BS last time too?  Not throwing stones.  I don’t recall last go-round, how long before Woodson was hired did it break on here that BS was out & who broke the news?

I'm more worried about the degenerate gambler thinking, "I can get Pat Knight at 50:1 odds. You ALWAYS have to take 50:1 odds when you're offered it!" LOL

People on here may love mccollum but if that's honestly the best he can do count me as not impressed with dolson. Especially with all we have to offer.

Huh, who could have guessed that this would be your kind of response? You're usually so happy, relaxed, and positive.
