I would never lead your wrong when it comes to college basketball watching.   You are welcome for the 2OT game that delivered.   Must be nice to have a coach that can find a way to win a game when your kids are not playing well.  They never led in regulation but still found a way to win.   Delivering 

You just want to find a way to work in the word delivering because you’re a mailman.

I bet you’d change your name if you were an executioner. Then you’d say something else about execution.

Dolson needs to shock the sh7t out of us with a huge name or sack up and go the Beard/Wade route. If  "Fire Woodson" chants were off-putting to him, the chants he hears after a Brownellesque hiring will be horrific.  

I will bet $1000 of your hard earned money Brownell will not be the hire.

Duke hired Jon Scheyer, UNC hired Hubert Davis, and I’m still not sure who Kentucky’s coach is. Again, it’s a new era folks.

This. Looking at the searches for UK/UL last year, my expectations have been kept in check. UK is a blue blood program. If they had to move down their list because the heavy hitters wouldn’t go there, what makes us believe it’s different here?  It’s not different. NIL changes the playing field. You don’t have to go to a blue blood to get great players because they will come with money and coaching regardless. Is this still a desired job? Sure for some. But Pearl, Drew, Few, Oats don’t need to come to IU. They have established programs where they can and are winning.
I hope the white whale rumors are correct and we get the big fish. But I’m preparing myself for a McCollum, Wade, McMillan. I won’t be surprised  given todays college basketball landscape.

Watching the games live at the BTT, is amazing much worse IU’s sets look than anyone else’s.  Even with one big in the spacing is horrid

Long article on McCollum.  Worth a read.

I'm sold... 

I still have a feeling Iowa will try to get him, and home may win out

Supply and demand. You ask for it, the dealer will supply it.

Not only that, but with the way football revenue is flowing in these days for SEC and Big Ten schools, non-traditional basketball programs are receiving a ton of funny money, and they can spend on par with the basketball schools that actually care about being good. There’s a reason why IUBB can’t pry away Nate Oats, and it’s Nick Saban’s success. I’m surprised Georgia hasn’t found its way into the top 10 yet.

Long time listener, first time caller. I thought I would jump into the fun for once. Keep an eye on Devries potentially going to Iowa. I watched a BM interview with Andy Katz and he would take much more into consideration when taking a job than it being the hometown team.

Who is that guy? Sounds very smart!

[cleeter 3,020]

Alright, since Brad is over. I’m going cause a whole new crazy @$$ conspiracy.
They’ve said a “coach out of left field”. How bout this……



….Bruce is wanting to come to IU. Told Dolson last year he wanted one more year with his squad and a chance for Steven to get a job. Steven then leaves because IU won’t do coach in waiting, so he goes out to grind away and see what he’s got. Daddy Bruce coaches IU until Steven can have a chance to prove himself.

I’ll hang up and listen.



*in no way do I actually believe anything I just said. Just hoping to give someone a laugh.

If you want McCollum, that’s what you better hope for
