Not directly with coaches, no. With people connected to them? Of course. Try better sunnies if you’re squinting that much.

Give us a real list of coaches. It's pointless to say something when you're really not saying anything.

Isn't Parrish a Purdue guy? I'm absolutely laughing how dumb you have to be to think "Indiana fans" are toxic, but the other large fanbase living in the same state is completely fine. like wtf 

No connection.

The national media types are really hammering this "IU fans are toxic" narrative and it's irritating the hell out of me.

It creates clicks for Gary.  It's an easy post to for some media to make to stir up some engagement.  Are there some jackasses in our fan base?  Of course, but I'd wager no more than other fan bases like Kentucky, Alabama, Duke, LSU, etc.

Jersey, baby 

Thank you! What’s the significance of Jersey in this regard?

[Hippopotamo]

I don’t believe Dolson would be dumb enough to consider Brownell. We’re better off taking a shot with any up and coming coach.

Not to discount you as an insider on the"process" but...

your record speak to the contrary.

My “record” has been spot on, but believe what you want. Other than Woodson’s failed power play, this is going exactly as IU wants it to go.

[EasyEJay]

Man I really thought we were about to get a Brad social media leak today when RTZ first posted instead ……… 
 

we got Kathy and Brownell from the guy that broke the Woodson hire this is not “A good Day” so far lol

Todays rough stat for you from Twitter: 

Since 2004-2005, IU basketball has averaged 18 wins and 14 losses per season.

Which means they also average a 32 game season which is just regular season plus 1 game in the B1GT. Yikes.

I have no clue if Kathy is anyone or not, but there is no way she is giving you any list.  She says a bunch of words to say nothing.  Maybe when this thing all wraps up we can get a better picture if she is actually in the know or a troll.

no, you just described conversations with active coaches lol 

Sorry you call it a half dozen, I just call it 6. 

I don’t think even you understand what you’re saying. We talk to agents and representatives of active coaches, but we aren’t talking directly with any active coach yet.Sorry if that wasn’t clear.

Losing McNally (I'm sure that Woodson called him that at least once) and replacing him with a last minute 5-star who underachieved and didn't work out was a perfect metaphor for Mike Woodson's entire time at IU.

Yeah but last summer online tucker along with Carlyle and Rice was touted as the best backcourt in the big ten on twitter and facebook.

It’s a huge factor.  It was one of several Woody downfalls when he started. 

St. John’s did the basketball equivalent because they needed to take a short term shot. It’s paying off.  They will need a new coach within a couple years.  I guess if you are ok knowing it’s a 4-6 year cycle then it doesn’t matter as much. And people lose energy as they age not the opposite. So at that age you are probably getting the best version immediately.

I don't completely agree with this... guys in Woodson's age group are still killing it, or at least doing well: Pitino, Sampson, Pearl, Few.

Woodson's issue was that he had a bad case of entitled laziness. He wanted the title without all of the work... not trying to head back down the Woodson rabbit hole, but Dolson set him up for success as much as he could, and Woodson preferred to drink his wine, smoke his cigars and play golf...

IU could do with another coach in that age range, assuming that said coach was willing to put in the effort in recruiting, developing skills and actually coaching...

[Hornsby]

Ugh I need a social media leak today ! 

Just barf if true. I was joking weeks ago about iu hiring ole-what’s-eez-name.

@Home Jersey may have already linked this video - But I like how Adragna breaks out stuff - think he does a good job.

Anyway (imho) a great break down of McCollum:

https://x.com/CoachAdragna/status/1900367366476718285

I watched most of that video, and it's a good one.  My takeaway is McCollum's offense can work at any level of basketball, but as others said it requires quick processing, good decision making, and unselfishness.  Those are skills like any other that can be developed, and his success indicates he's good at teaching them.  I also think his offense has the potential to attract high level players as the ball screen motion offense he is running develops skills that are really coveted in the NBA now - good decision making and proficiency at finishing both inside and from behind the arc.

How do you know he doesn't know? You don't know either.

Based on what I’m hearing, Brownell, Collins, McDermott, and Williams are not serious candidates at the moment. And there are other guys in play. Right now I’d take the field over McCollum or anyone else that’s been named.

This would be an absolute disaster. 

Brownell wouldn’t be a good hire.  McCollum would be better.  There are a ton of other coaches out there who have performed way better at the high level than Brownell.  I didn’t turn on too many games this year because what I watched either made me laugh or hurt my eyes.  It would be the same with Brownell when Painter and the rest of the coaches take him to the woodshed.  @KathywithaC

I understand perfectly what I'm saying. Things don't just **poof** happen out of thin air. You can call that indirect communication all you want.

Yea.  Almost every well-known P5 bball player is going to have some wild DMs.  People that DM them are wrong, stupid, and losers, but players are public figures and this happens when they're on social media.  Same goes for every other person the public is familiar with in other walks of life.

Thanks to Woody's crappy team culture, we've got Ballo mirroring his coach and thinking this is an IU-only issue.  Now IU is getting smeared.  Woodson is just so damn toxic, thankfully this is almost over with him.
