2022 vs Iowa Jordan Bohannon banks a 3 at the buzzer 

2023 vs Penn State and booty ball 4 point loss 

 

I didn’t say my memory was very good. Lol. Not sure how I forgot about that first run that the committee rewarded us with a first 4 appearance. 
 

I can’t be blamed for the 2023 game, though. I’ve already erased every Woody game against PSU from my memory. Same with Creans Wisconsin games, the Bracey Wright era, and everything related to lil’ Archie.  
 

Throw the Brinks truck at Dusty, take his family hostage in the Union, threaten to revoke his diploma along side Jim Jones’ and Jared Fogle’s in the same televised ceremony…. Get dirty, Dolson! Get it done!

30 odd years of average, (Crean, Miller), below average, (Davis, Woodson), or risky, (Sampson), hires. Suggestions that BS flat out turned us down, and that the other names being tossed about are hardly a who's who of coaching talent. Short of BS or BD, we're likely "settling" again, for whomever we can get to say, "yes".

If only two coaches in the whole nation, including the NBA, aren’t “settling” I’m not sure how to respond to your opinion. But that’s an unusually high standard and would be for any school, not just IU.

I still get a feeling there is a reason there is not a lot of rumblings of information dropping. With every other job you have been hearing names and it has been narrowed fairly quickly. Can’t imagine the same hasn’t happened at IU, but I think we are waiting for the end of our/their season just to let the information out.

…..maybe the search committee still is, but,…. I believe from what Chris has said, Dolson had his own candidates he spoke too.

How long does it take for a new coach to get his staff together and hit the ground running?  The portal opens on the 24th (I think).  We have to be close to making a decision to allow them time to get things put together.  So realistically we have just over a week to make an official announcement.

I think ideally they would love to have the hire in place in the next 72 hrs. Unfortunately it’s probably going to be more like next weekend after whomever gets knocked out. The portal does open 3/24 so who knows how much time/effort they can put into it right away. Hell if there is some agreement in place verbally you would wonder if said coach doesn’t have people already working on portal things but then again, odds are whoever we hire is also preparing a current team for the tournament.

I’m guessing today’s coach will be Shaka Smart

Despite only two NCAA Tournament appearances in the last eight years and one Final Four appearance this century, this remains one of the best jobs in college basketball, but the program needs a proven college coach. Recruiting 

If that's true we are either passing on guys we could get due to holier than thou stuff or it's bs and it's not a good job.

Or we just don't know. That it's been kept so close to the vest that we dont have a clue who we have actually went after or not. Just rumors.

After beating UConn, back to McDermott. Nothing like recency bias to get the juices flowing.

Happy Saturday.

Mentally preparing myself in the event it's an uninspiring hire.

@RoadRagesent me this plane to watch at noon today.

I got a message from a well respected poster on here who knows Todd and said he’s not helping with the search with the use of his plane. His business is located close to that airport. Wanted to clear that up.
