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.

Happy tournament selection day everyone. It’s a win win day imo. We are either dancing or we won’t be. But if we aren’t we will get some coaching news sooner if said coach isn’t in the dance.

Would it be fair or unfair to say that at this stage, any potential deal is complete, signed, and is just pending announcement?
 

Or are things not yet finalized and we still need to get across the line?

 

Not trying to pin you down. Mainly trying to understand if it’s truly just a timing thing with IU’s season ending at this point.

Maybe I’ll root for the ultimate scenario of us making the tournament AND an info leak where news breaks somehow of who our coach is. A guy can dream, right?

The Big guy at Peegs thinks all conspiracy theory stuff is pretty crazy. The kid in me that remembers IU being awesome wants to believe, the old man who has watched IU the last 20 years tells me we are getting Chris Collins.

Let’s get through selection Sunday first:) 

once IU knows if their seaosn is over or not I think stuff will heat up as they can plan knowing what will happen and everyone can contribute more. I am just here helping take some off @Chris007 shoulder haha
