If it’s not Stevens, a lot of people on this board going to be getting that same sentiment

Nah, we get who we get.  I am not going to jump on anyone either way.

I’m not raising my expectations on this, maybe because I’m used to okay hires with my time dealing with hiring. Hope it’s changes.

Hope the result is different, but seems like Deja vu all over again.

There's quite a bit more noise on the board this time around too - not saying that's good or bad, just that it is. 

I'm very optimistic there will be a good hire regardless.

Whomever the new coach is, he needs to get rolling quickly……portal will be huge

He already is, no worries

I will be off here today spending the day with my family. I’m sorry if I don’t get back to everyone. Dolson has hit a home run or grand slam whatever you want to call it. 

I’m gonna guess Jay Wright.
 

He was tired of the NIL nonsense but we’re gonna get him a GM and other support staff to ease his burden so he can focus more on coaching and actual recruiting vs the dealing with agents and such.

I don’t like Mike.  Though I agree treat him the best we can on the way out because that’s the high road.

However, at the end of the day what’s best for IUBB is the priority.  So if announcements needs to be made to be ready for the portal, etc., do it and Mike can cry into his $8.4M buyout.

I think it’s likely Scott knows exactly what to do, I’m just saying it anyways.

Alford has a nice, little rant on NIL….you may not like him but I think his words are also what a lot of other coaches are thinking right now…it’s a mess

To me, the only guy less likely than Stevens is Jay Wright

You're right, and it's not only out of respect for our current coach, but for the whole coaching staff.  Jordy, Calbert and the rest are still employed.  You don't name a new coach until the whole staff is over the hump.

And a few of those guys could be retained

[SlammySammy 1,624]

Jay Wright would be big….but he seems pretty set in his cushy tv job

If you and a Chris know these things then why haven't the media guys like Goodman, Bozich, etc heard the news?  They are very well connected.

Damn man!! Good to see you around!!!

Howdie! Yeah seen the guys over at Peegs bitching about the guys on BTB who bet on Brad Stephens to be the new IU coach (really??? If you want to throw money away just send me a check.) Thought I should check the place out. Seems a few of the old timers have passed on. Haven't really paid much attention to IU BKB in years, but really interested in this coaching search. I think Dolson is the guy who'll get it right and set IU BKB up for the next decade or two. Here's hoping! I want to actually enjoy watching the games. Glad to see you are alive and kicking!

It makes no sense when Miami and FSU announced their new coaches before their seasons were over. I guess IU’s admin is “different” in some/many ways. That’s not necessarily a positive thing IMO. If they have an agreement they should announce it as soon as that coach is comfortable. I get if they want to get through the first weekend of the tournament with their team but at that point once the portal is open you’re either on board and in for the job or not. So may as well announce it. Hopefully just about a week left…

Holy hell, this one brought out @HoosierReb01 as well.  Good to see you out about man.  Hope you are well! 

All good here and hope all is well with you. I notice that I still have a Abusive Behavior strike on my profile that you gave me a decade ago.
