Wow. Devries or McCollum……great……wow…..

 

not killing messenger. Killing the selection when you’ve had 12 months to prep

I’m not excited about either. HOWEVER, how can you make somebody take a job that they aren’t interested in. I’m sure Scott threw the kitchen sink at “big names”. If we don’t have one on the sideline next year, it’s likely not due to a lack of a plan or effort.

The reality check for many of us will be that IU basketball simply isn’t the job we think it is after years of bad basketball.

Personally I do not think it is fair to group RTZ and Chris with Isaac.  They are clearly not the same.  Everyone needs to take a deep breath around here.  This thing still has some flight time left before we come to some clarity.

Feels like someone will be putting up a Brad Stevens shrine again 

[PartyintheVillas]

I am always amazed at how many people take message board and social media rumors and comments as facts about what is happening. Just because random Joe who claims to know someone who knows someone does not make it fact. We really struggle as a country to separate group sentiment from fact. The facts are no one on these internet sources really knows anything, and if they do it's almost like Schrodinger's fact. It is both true and untrue since there is no way of knowing. Worse than that is when it's not even people who claim to know anything just posting random thoughts as if they are an expert on something and others get all worked up about it being true. Just because a bunch of people are arguing about Ben McCollum or Brad Stevens or Brad Brownell or anyone else doesn't mean any of them are actual favorites or even real candidates.

The storm before the calm before the storm today.  I think everybody needs to take a good extended lunch break; lol.  To quote the greatest realtor in Indiana basketball history... Just chill.

At this point, if McCollum is the floor, what is there to argue about? After hearing him talk this morning again....impressive, serious, and could be great! I'm down with him or anyone better.

Because some people only eat at chain/name brand places.  They want to win the press conference.  They have no ability to comprehend anything beyond the big names being a great hire.

Dolson has had 12 months to find the guy. If that's the best he can do consider me not impressed.

What did Jeff Rabjohns do?

[HoosierInParadise]

I once had inside information and I posted it on a message board. It was back when Mike Davis got fired. I was sitting in Panera in Bloomington and two of Davis' assistants were at the table behind me. Davis still had his job, but they were talking about needing to search for jobs. I thought that was interesting and I posted it on Peegs, but nobody believed me. 

I've learned that if your name is Isaac, more people will believe you...you should have been IsaacConnection...

I choose to believe he's tried. It's just the top 1,2,3, and 4 guys on the list all said no.

Well, to be fair, we don't know this. 

I mean, it doesn't seem that Dolson threw "the kitchen sink" at a "bunch of big names" 4 years ago before IU hired Woody. Who knows what he's actually doing this time? 

I <hope> that he's as good as everybody seems to think he is. We will find out soon.

Portal opens 1 week from today. Can they even enter until then? 

Yes, they can enter before it opens for everyone else since the coach left. They basically get a week more than everyone else to decide if they want to stay or go.

no. "Sweet 16" is winning 2 games. One of those probably being Purdue. Why is that impressive? 

I didn’t say it was, just posing a question to give people something to talk about instead of going after one another.

And some never got asked imo.

Dolson can do everything in his power, but if no one wants the job what's he supposed to do?

Seriously...we love you here, RTZ. The haters are strong today and over the past week. Stress does funny things to people. We have a strong bond of connected people, so don't go anywhere because certain people are cranky.
