Somewhere out east, a man sips a beer at the dining room table after a late dinner. He loosens up his green necktie and tosses it aside on the table.

Across from him, his wife says: "Honey, I know it's almost St. Patrick's Day, but green just isn't your color. You'd look so much better in red."

"I think so too, Tracy. Perhaps it's time to finally put things right..."

"That sounds like a whale of an idea."

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

Same! Chill, we’re getting a new coach. Why not watch IU make a run?

Welcome back? Have you been around lately? Love seeing some old names. Maybe you have been and I just didn’t notice

I'll be honest, even when people say they've heard stuff I still don't believe it.  I'm skeptical of everyone and everything.  

I guess I'm not really skeptical.  Instead, ill believe it when I see it. I have no doubt people hear things. I also believe they may be wrong with what they are hearing. Never will understand why people latch on to certain things and believe it as gospel.

Rick Pitino is on top of the college basketball world rn yet IU is afraid to hire Will Wade lmao. This is why we can’t have nice things.

Even the men's college basketball's savant Coach K wasn't that pure. IU needs to lose some purity this time and to be 110% serious about winning. So many of our fans still wouldn't want to touch Pitino, Beard, and Wade with a 10 feet pole, but this time IU doesn't have the luxury to screw up this hire. I'm not saying IU should hire one of them; I just want IU to seriously consider them as candidates. IMHO, these guys all had somewhat shameful past, but they all paid their prices; they were fired and suffered from nationwide humiliations. Who are we to throw stones at them?

There's always a level of hypocrisy on the part of Administration when it comes to vetting. Publically they want to find Jesus Christ with a whiteboard and whistle, but privately they want wins, trophies and championships, with money in the coffers and a$$es in the seats. 

I guarantee that if Dolsen were to visit a Clairvoyant and told that hiring a certain young coach would result in three national championships in eleven years, eleven Big Ten championships in seventeen years, millions in cash for the university library, sold out games for nearly thirty years, absolute compliance of NCAA rules, and an extremely high graduation rate for his players, Dolsen is going to be less inclined to factor in personality flaws and the occasional flying chair.
