There is absolutely no way this is true.  No way in the world Dolson went through the mess last spring and has just sat on his hands the last few weeks since Woody was "retired."  I cannot fathom how anyone can actually believe this.  Now we may disagree with whatever Dolson has done.  But there is no doubt he has been working on this situation for a long time.  

Define "working."  If Dolson was a big dog, he'd have this buttoned up with a whale.  We are still chumming the water.

This should go without saying obviously, but there will be no press conference tomorrow. I’ll be able to take the lid off a bit later in the week. But will say this, anybody providing details right no

I’ve had several PM’s so wanted to drop a quick line to the broader board. Love this group and fully intend to continue to contribute to the community, Im not going anywhere. (Sorry to a few of you) B

So I couldn’t get much from him unfortunately. But, to me that’s a good thing. There’s been pretty much zero chatter, nor leaks for a month about coaches. He said it doesn’t matter that the season is

RTZ posted the Pilot Brad pic less than an hour ago, and that's already 10 pages deep. We're all crazy, folks...

Other than the fact he has a posting history on another site… based on his activity / posting style here… not much reason to think of him too differently than Isaac and the other newcomers who claim to have info lol.

Jerry and the others aren't saying anything -- because there is nothing to say.  Keeping a "lid" on it until later this week when the tourney gets underway is unlikely as hell.  Today would be the day for any announcement -- right between selection and the first four.  
I know this because I can add and read between the lines.  There are 3 possible "Home Run" hires -- guys who would basically guarantee IU would be dancing next year:  Brad Stevens, Jay Wright, and Dusty May.  Stevens and Wright are not coaching and there is not reason they could not have been announced weeks ago, let alone today.  Guys know time is of the essence and would want to hit the ground running full speed.  
Dusty signed his extension at Michigan -- so it's not like Scott was on the phone after Woody quit and and saying "Dusty, how does $$$$ sound?" 
Guys who might be "Home Runs" -- Pearl, Wade, Beard -- aren't realistic because of their baggage or circumstances. 
That leaves everyone else -- McCollum, Cronin, Brownsomething, DeVries, McDermmot, etc.  All of them are probably "solid" hires, but they may take some time to build something at IU, or they may crash and burn.  Definitely TBD.  But there is no evidence that Scott has gone and seen any of them.  These guys aren't hired over zoom -- a personal meeting takes place at some point.  
Which means, exactly what I said.  They have a list.  They probably have vetted certain guys.  Maybe even know the possibilities and likelihoods.  And when the coach exits the tournament, the scramble will begin -- along with Iowa, et. al.  We may hit, we may miss.  Nothing is set in stone.   Meanwhile, the portal opens and everyone else starts moving forward.  We are still looking for a coach.  Just the way I see it.  I pray I am wrong.  
I think you are right and I don't think there is any home run hire lined up. My guess is we end of with mcvollum, and we can hope and pray he can cut I at this level. Some love him. I don't really but when you limit yourself on who you will hire you aren't going to get a proven winner at a p5 level. They mostly all have baggage.

Woody’s gonna be back, isn’t he? Doesn’t matter who’s on your list if they all say no.  If I’m Dolson & it gets down to Brownell, why pay the $8million buyout for Woody & for Brownell?  Think about that, $16 million + $5-6 annually for Brad Brownell?  SD should be fired if that’s where we end up, but if McCollum goes to Iowa, welp…

I could see that happening.

IU just went to the CFP in a new hires first year.  Let him do his thing for a bit.  People handwringing before a hire is even made let alone coached a game or season is what is wrong with a portion of the fanbase.

Well I read somewhere dolson wants someone who knows how to navigate the portal from day one. That would mean golden boy mcvollum is out. Woodson is coming back folks to run it back.
