I am pretty sure you are not even an IU FAN. 99% of your posts are just shitting on IU

And not just IU BASKETBALL

When they prove they can do something competent my tune will change.  Spent 8 years at IU and I'm just saddened it's become what it has.  Really sad.

And there is zero reason to believe Dolson will make a good choice.  Cig was not his first choice.  And when Stevens fell through in 2021 his second choice was a crippled Thad Matta.  A man with a back that is completely shot and one leg.  Might have been a worse hire than Woodson honestly.  What reason do I have to believe they will get this one right?  We don't even need to get into Davis, Sanctions, Crean, and Archie.

Take a picture of Tyme's tweet because he'll delete it when the new coach is announced and it's not Brownell.

You know it’s bad when everyone agree this would not be a good hire

I don’t do Twitter and have only heard of Tyme from this board,…..sounds like he just wants “clicks”, but I will be the first to come on here and eat crow if Dolson doesn’t hit a home run with this hire! That’s where I’m at.

Do you care to backup this BS claim
With any evidence?

He said he hopes he is wrong.  I hope so also.

IU has repeatedly shown over the last 25 years that this program is not well run.

Brownell would be a stupid hire but we're coming off a pure nepotism hire.

IU hasn’t been well run.  I’m not denying that.  As I said, Dolson can rectify that with this hire.  I’m of the mindset he’s going to get this right.  If he doesn’t, it’ll tell us all we need to know.

Maybe we pool a little dough together and bribe the night maintenance staff to take an extra looooonggg glance at desks in the ad office while cleaning up tonight….

None of the guys being mentioned are going to bring this fanbase together, hell with it, I'm back to Beard! Only name I am hearing that I'm sure will win here!

[Henryville Hoosier 1,285]

So all the hush hush for brownell. Wouldn’t want that to get out.

@JerryYeagley23 how close are we to you being able to make your return?

Coaching candidates aside, what style of ball do we prefer? 
 

Fast paced run and gun or more slow methodical lock down on defense? Does a slower pace appeal to top level recruits?

Style of play — whatever style maximizes efficiency with your current roster.  Tough, hard-nosed defense with a strong emphasis on rebounding.  And can consistently recruit at a high level.

True. And also, it's not 25 years of the same administration. I'm not sure hiring Mike Davis is a particularly relevant precedent to this discussion. Let's just take a breath here.

Team most likely needs a place to practice for a few more days. I don’t think Cook or Assembly survive a Brownell announcement.
