Wait just a minute what happened to the white smoke lol

I think the white smoke indicated maybe the deal was done....."a couple names floating around" says it could be one of a few guys.....

White Smoke = done deal

Couple of names = Brad (either one), Ben, Billy, Candidate X

Both can be true

Haven’t heard Thad Matta brought up- thoughts? Too old? Health? Once upon a time he was legit and he recently had a relationship with IU as a consultant or basketball ops right? 

How about ineffectiveness...

You sent a gif this morning with white smoke, which is generally accepted to be an indication that the pope has been chosen.

so it would just seem a little backwards to say that you’re hearing other names now?

Voice of reason. Thank you….

Did I say a name this morning? I’m just saying that there’s 2-3 names floating around about who the final name was.

Thank you. Was never, ever likely.
That said, I have supreme confidence in Dolson.
Lloyd, Few, or McDermott wouldn’t surprise me. After that give me Will Wade or McCollum over someone like Cronin. 

So wait...no offense to Stu but what makes his info "more right"?

It fits what they already think.

And would we mere peasants be allowed to know these names?

BREAKING NEWS: nobody knows.

If you said the names we could discuss the names.

Fair point. He’s had more success at D1 than our previous 3 coaches combined. Not saying I’d want him but if Brad Brownell is being considered supposedly maybe Thad is

Me knowing we have another week of this.

Think yall are way overthinking this. They can’t and won’t say it’s definitively Stevens. 
 

Who else would be a home run hire that isn’t currently coaching? Cmon. 

I get it. I appreciate the insiders. They have been great when it comes to recruiting. They have been wrong when it comes to coaching searches in the past. Watch it be Lawrence Frank.

I have zero info on who it is.

A lot of people would not be happy with McCollum. Refer back to Goodman’s tweet about McCollum. For the most part, it wasn’t a positive reaction. He’s a “so-so” hire to a lot of us for reasons already addressed relentlessly so no point of rehashing .

I would not be happy with that hire. That would be a very big letdown hire for me.

At least we’ll get to see some interesting yarns spun about how things fell apart in the 11th hour again, just like last time.  Brace yourselves to be underwhelmed, if not devastated.

Sorry, best that can be done. 

[Papacap 1,827]

I’m getting a kick out of the people who are saying it’s delusional that IU may get a Stevens but that Brownell will be the next coach. Can’t make this **** up.
