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. Pagoda, Over 100 Games, SlammySammy and 1 other 2 2

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. 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. SlammySammy and Over 100 Games 2

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. Jeff Flabjohns, thebigweave, IUHAHN81 and 12 others 6 7 2
Hornsby Posted March 13, 2025 Posted March 13, 2025 Dolson is just throwing him a little bone to help him get a little more out of them. Hope so.Sent from my SM-A146U using Tapatalk

IU05 Posted March 13, 2025 Posted March 13, 2025 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. #HoldTheLine

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 . Will Wade is more Cig than McCollum. There are no rose colored glasses. He’s one of the best hire-able coaches available not in power 4. Simple as that. Kentuckysucks 1

I'd give Cig another season before you crown him. We played 2 good teams all season and got torched both times. He was also able to bring a bunch of his JM guys with him. Just reminds me of Tom Allen's covid year where we didn't beat a single team that finished in the top 25 and he got a near $40M buyout for it then the wheels came off. Many of us called it at the time. Expect a lot of 7-5 finishes from Cig which is certainly fine. Scotty R, IU Prof, RaceToTheTop and 2 others 3 2

If we don't finally just make someone, that is worth it, the highest paid coach in college basketball....I just don't understand at all. It communicates one of three things to me. Either the IU job is just not an attractive job anymore to any top coach, or we aren't serious about turning this around, or both. Pay enough money, and you're going to get the best out there.

This year is his true test. They will say he isn't tom allen but the Allen love was the same after the covid year. Sent from my SM-A146U using Tapatalk
