Don't think it can be stressed enough. The biggest clue there was that with the lid coming off a bit later in the week, that means our coach isn't currently coaching. Let's freaking go. 

 

The new Coach needs time to officially notify the Cel—I mean, his current employer. So no press conference tomorrow. Next day schedule conference and planning….yep, Wednesday or Thursday would sound about right. Guys, this is gonna be great!!!!!

I spent the week at the Big Ten Tournament with my 10 year old basketball loving son, telling him about the glory days when IU ruled. So great to think he might get to experience what I experienced when I was a kid and teen. Let the rebuild begin!!!!

Alright folks, finally back home after a long evening out with tonight’s March Madness activities. 

Today was a great day, we finally got rid of Mike Woodson. His career here was mediocre, as one could expect. Glad to get some of these egos off the team. I would anticipate some names hitting the portal this week from the team, so keep an eye on that.

As for our coaching search, likely no announcement tomorrow. IF it’s a Brad Steven’s or Billy, I would expect something Tuesday-Thursday. I posted this earlier this evening, turn on your tweet notifications for Shams and Zach. 

Let’s have a week and pray we have a basketball coach by Friday.

Couple of thoughts for me: 

1) Someone could really write a book about the last 5-6 weeks of this program when it's all said and done. What a crazy time (Woodson "retirement, team starts to show some life, coaching search, missing the tournament, and eventually an announcement.) I miss Terry Hutchens. He would've been the guy to do so. 

2) This fact pisses me off: Indiana in the last 9 seasons has only made the tournament twice. One of those two times they were In the first 4..

3) Scott Dolson has to get this hire right. This fan base is sick of this. I can't see fans continuing to show this kind of support for mediocre basketball. 

4) If no announcement is made by the start of the tournament, it's somebody in the Field of 68. In fact, I think even by Wednesday. There is literally no reason or benefit to wait around if they currently aren't coaching a team. Need to get things going with the portal next week. So, I think you can cross Collins, Devries, Donovan, Stevens, Turgeon (I kid) if we don't hear anything soon. I give Thursday a slight chance if they want to pull some kind of Jerry Jones stunt and announce it at the start of the games (Purdue plays right away Thursday). 

5) IF it is a coach in the Field of 68, give it 24-48 hours after they are eliminated. If you don't hear anything by then, you can cross them off. Again, need to get things going. 

It's going to be a fun week. I imagine this time next week we will know..unless our coach is in the Sweet 16.
