Goodman also believes McCollum will need offensive and defensive coordinators.  If that’s truly the case, he’s woefully under qualified.

That being said, I believe BM will be the pick.  

Yeah all he needs is an offensive coordinator, defensive coordinator, general manager, assistant general manager and partridge and a pear tree. Hang the banner

Dolson is just throwing him a little bone to help him get a little more out of them. 

I’m thinking it’s fake news. Iowa is going to lose here in an hour in a half. Iowa will open up tonight / tomorrow. Ben will take over Iowa.

Thank God. It's like shooting a deer after you hit it with your car. 

Just put this team and coach out of it's misery. 

It's a bad thing if we're obligated to play in the Crown Tournament as one of the automatic bids.

Have you actually paid attention to the hires of power conference teams lately. Show me all of these power conference coaches leaving their jobs for another power conference team. You have a guy like Cal who wanted out of UK and UL was ready for a change but you don't see successful coaches leaving.

To me UK hiring Pope is the Equivalent of us hiring Brownell. UL hiring Kelsey would he no different than us hiring McCollum.

If they get who they want instead of who he wants that could be a problem! I think Sisley is the best way to start him off! Hard working, relentless, student of the game, and talented! Give me more of them.

If we hire McCollum, do we have to worry about over committing NIL funds to Sisley and the kid from overseas?

Nope just kids that understand basketball at its core and love playing the game for a coach who coaches it the way it was intended!

I’ll admit a decent portion of my concern about McCollum comes from what we went through with Archie , if the McCollum fan boys admit they have rose colored glasses because of Cig . In reality he’s not Archie , but he’s not Cig either .
 

the Archie comparison is apples to oranges , but the Cig  comparison is apples to spinach 
 

this is an insanely risky hire . Unique offensive systems make me nervous in a conference like the Big Ten . again I also stand by he doesn’t get 4 years . He gets 2 MAYBE 3 years to win over 20 games .

What if Dolson thinks he’s the best coach? 

If he thinks that’s absolutely the best play, I say go for it. Shoot your shot. I just pray he has an astute basketball mind and balls of steel.  
 

I’d much rather go all-in on the unknown uber talent than hire a decent but not great coach just so we don’t fail.

I get you guys don't like the hire but I mean if we're analyzing Robbie Hummel of all people's facial expressions to inform our opinions of this hire, idk what we're doing here. I guess it's not as fun as tracking flights to me either.

Goodman mixed up football and basketball. Honest mistake.

AND he wouldn’t even recognize McCollum if he saw him on the street.  I could also see him having life-size posters of BM in his bedroom so I digress.

He’s not my top pick but he is the best coach in NW history, does lots with less. 

The best coach in NW history is like being the 8th tallest guy in Japan

Would feel a lot better if Bozich didn’t instantly report on Goodman’s tweet.

We already tried the hiring an alum route. Brownell was just born in Indiana and played at a small college. But I do agree, the theory of Indiana hiring a big name is likely a Make-A-Wish.

Please stop using Pope as an example. He is an alum at UK. Totally different circumstances

No one thinks Goodman isn’t connected, he does type his tweets very carefully if you pay attention.

I never said anything about a verbal. I said believing there was a done deal and it somehow might have broken down at the 11th hour some five weeks later isn’t remotely believable. To paraphrase myself since you didn’t read what I said: “it’s either done, or it was dead in a week.” 
 

And that’s before you start getting into the weeds on it not being a state secret Woody was on his last leg a year ago. If your original comment is true, either Brad Stevens is the single most indecisive human ever offered 8 figures, or Scott Dolson is a complete and total dunce. Neither of which I believe is true. 

I’m sorry I’m not giving you the info you want to hear. There was a verbal and an agreement/plan to sign and announce formally after season was over. Again, believe it or not, but that is simply a fact.

[Hornsby 3,870]

Dolson is just throwing him a little bone to help him get a little more out of them. 

Hope so.

Brother he went 30-3 in his first year. Drake lost a ton of players. The answer is not long.

He brought a bunch of players that had been in his system with him. That helped a ton.

You can’t convince me McCollum is about to choose us over Iowa. 
 

Don’t lose sight of the expected rumors this week. 
 

McCollum is a fine backup option. 
 

We can’t claim this whole time that “the media knows nothing” and then all the sudden freak out over Goodman.
