This should go without saying obviously, but there will be no press conference tomorrow. I’ll be able to take the lid off a bit later in the week. But will say this, anybody providing details right no

I’ve had several PM’s so wanted to drop a quick line to the broader board. Love this group and fully intend to continue to contribute to the community, Im not going anywhere. (Sorry to a few of you) B

So I couldn’t get much from him unfortunately. But, to me that’s a good thing. There’s been pretty much zero chatter, nor leaks for a month about coaches. He said it doesn’t matter that the season is

Trilly has this list for IU: McCollum, ole-what’s-eez-name, Collins, McDermott, and Buzz Williams

Don't think he knows much about this coaching search at all. I believe he even said it's been tight lipped.

Why leave Creighton, especially now of all the times

He would have to be convinced that IU gives him the better chance to break through to get to a final 4 then he does currently at Creighton.  History tells you he isn’t moving because his name gets brought up every cycle to move on and every year he stays.   Only advantage IU would have this time is IU plays in one of the top 2 money conferences and maybe a coach outside the sec or big would make the move.   If IU were able to land him it would be a massive win and looked at like a big deal in the college basketball world.    He has been high on my list for some time now but I also understand it would be tough to land him.  Watched an interview with him the other day and they named a facility after him

Was just looking at FlightAware. Keep in mind I’m not a profession at this but a couple things I found interesting:

 

1: Yesterday around 5:17 a plane went from Btown to Bedford. 
 

2: Last night a plane went from Bedford to Teterboro. 
 

3: Today, a plane will go from Tererboro to Indy Exec. 
 

Stay tuned for more updates that might mean something, might mean nothing. 

But wait there’s more! There’s a flight right now going from Teterboro to Clark County Regional.

IF an announcement were to come Monday, it'd be Collins out of that group. Would also be a pretty out of left field hire which has been mentioned if you're looking at it from an outside or neutral perspective.

He just put it out this morning. I agree. I don't think anyone knows.

Does "announcing a coach before your former AA and B1G POY current coach retires" sound like something INDIANA would do? 

I'm sorry, but that always sounded soooo farfetched to me. 

I think the AA claim is inaccurate. I don't think he was ever a consensus AA.

That would be a terrible look for McCollum (or anyone for that matter) if their name was leaked prior to their team not only playing but losing in the NCAAT. I think Goodman's tweet was from McCollum's camp to put Iowa on the clock. If Fran isn't fired in the next 24-48 hours, McCollum to IU might actually have some legs. 

Agreed but it's kinda the new norm imho. The timing of the transfer portal for both Football and Basketball is terrible - Football it's before playoffs (I get they want kids to be able to switch over between semesters but c'mon - you telling me an athlete can't get a waiver for 2 or 3 weeks?) - same with basketball. Terrible timing that puts new coaches/teams in a terrible spot.

A HOOSIER ALL-AMERICAN
Woodson averaged 18.5 points, 6.7 rebounds, and 1.6 assists per game while shooting 52.1% from the floor and 79.2% from the free throw line in during his freshman season (1976-77) for head coach Bob Knight. His sophomore year (1977-78) produced a second-place finish in the Big Ten standings, a record of 21-8 (12-6 B1G), and a trip to the NCAA Sweet Sixteen. Woodson averaged 19.9 points, 5.4 rebounds, 1.4 assists, and 1.2 steals per game while shooting 52.4% from the floor and 76.9% from the free throw line. After two seasons, Woodson had amassed 1,077 career points to become the second player in IU men’s basketball history to reach the 1,000-point mark in two seasons.

The Hoosiers claimed the NIT Championship during his junior season (1978-79) behind 21.0 points, 5.7 rebounds, 2.9 assists, and 1.6 steals per game from the junior All-American. He shot 49.8% from the floor and 76.3% from the charity stripe. Woodson captained the USA’s Pan American Games team to a gold medal during the summer prior to his senior year and was all set to have a perfect season with the Hoosiers who were ranked No. 1 in the preseason of the 1979-80 campaign.

However, after just five games, Woodson suffered a herniated disc in his back and had to undergo surgery. Upon losing Woodson for the next 15, the Hoosiers went 7-5 in the Big Ten play. He returned for the final six games of the regular season, all Hoosier victories, to secure his first Big Ten Conference title. He averaged 19.3 points, 3.5 rebounds, 2.6 assists, and 1.1 steals per game and claimed Big Ten MVP honors despite only playing six league games. Woodson’s Indiana playing career ended in the Sweet Sixteen of the NCAA Tournament that season.

Woodson finished his career with 2,061 career points in 104 games played. His scoring clip ranks sixth on the all-time Hoosier leaderboard. He was named an All-American in both 1979 and 1980 and was voted the 1980 Big Ten Player of the Year and the Chicago Tribune’s Silver Basketball Award Winner. His 19.8 points per game average is tied (Calbert Cheaney) for the second highest by a Hoosier who played four seasons in college.
