I guess the biggest question at this point is one of three:

1. Does Dolson already have his man (and has for a while)?

2. Is he just putting the finishing touches on a deal in place and waiting for the end of that coach's season to announce?

3. Is he in scramble/panic mode?

If we haven't heard anything by Wednesday it's probably #3.

Who pissed in your cornflakes this morning?

The search has worn on me. We all just want to know already. I appreciate posters with a track record sharing what they hear and having a conversation. I’ve got no patience for new accounts peddling fanciful rumors that don’t pan out continuing to string people along. Maybe it’s because I’m from New Jersey and don’t know how to act when I smell bull****

So is Medved and there are people that already know he is taking Minnesota? So many people have said this is one of the tightest searches theyve seen. 

 

I don't buy that is because he is coaching a team personally 

i have no idea tbh. I could see that from BM's angle though to minimize distractions. That's taking in consideration he's even the guy. Could just be tight lipped because we're an insane fanbase and the administration doesn't want a bunch of chatty kathy's running around talking about multimillion dollar contracts. there's a ton of noise even without leaks, I can't imagine what it would be like if there were.

This is probably a lazy take but outside of age, I’m still getting strong Cignetti vibes from McCollum (especially after listening to him on D*kich today). Supremely confident in himself and his system, no BS, the standard is the standard, production over potential. 
 

I know the tempo is a red flag…. But outside of that, I think his style is EXACTLY what Indiana fans want. Defensive-minded, constant motion offensively, relentless effort on both ends. I know it’s not as modern, but that’s the kind of team we can be proud of. 
 

(Purdue sucks!… But so does Michigan & Ahia State!)

After listening to some interviews with him, his tempo is solely based on his personnel.  He has to play this way this year bc of the guys he has.   Give him a bunch of better athletes and his tempo would very well change.  He adapts very well. 
 

is he a risk given his background?  Definitely.   But he communicates better than Archie did.  The debate is if McCollum resume is better than Archie’s before he got to IU.    
 

Either way, McCollum is more impressive in interviews than Archie was when they talk bball, philosophy, etc.

I've never understood why people get on a message board and try to blast people for sharing whatever it is. Go read somewhere else then. This board is what makes a lot of us happy since the product on the floor hasn't.

I think most people are here to interact with other fans, not to be toyed with by an attention seeking narcissist.

I feel the same way in the comparison to Cig. Mccollum hasn't finished lower than 1st in a conference in over a decade. The tempo is a point of concern, on DD's show this morning McCollum stated he likes his teams to shoot more 3s than what they have this year but he just doesn't have the right personnel for it. How do you guys like that; he identified his team's strength/weakness and implemented a change in style to get them to play at their highest level of execution possible. That's a positive to me. Regardless, against 3 P5 teams this year he scored 76+ on all (80+ twice). 

It's either hire McCollum or watch him win B10 titles (ala Dusty May) at Iowa for the next decade or two.

Whether Chris, RTZ, AP, BTB GP or anyone else are right or wrong, then it is what it is. 
This is a free message board and we all come here wanting info. 
They dont post = everyone freaking out wanting info
They post = if it fits your narrative, you love it. Doesn't fit = you hate it. 
Either way, they post what they are hearing. We should thank them for that. It's why we come here. 
They don't force you to believe anything. If you want to mad at someone if they are wrong, I'd look in the mirror first. 
We all are fans of Indiana Basketball and Woodson is gone (right?) so lets unite on that and keep it that way.
Except Isaactor. Screw you pal.

*If it ends up being Brownell, we are screwed. 
 

Thank you cleeter.

 

Heavy on the last sentence but i think we are in the clear.

But those "posters with a track record" had to start with their first post, their first piece of info, etc. too...

These guys have already been wrong / flip flopped several times. Coaching searches are very tough to be plugged in on. At best everyone is sharing their best guess IMO.

The Ben McCollum interview with DD was pretty good.  The ending was really awkward when he was talking about the Indiana job.  He did a pretty good of talking around the subject.   Worth a listen if you get a chance.

I'll listen to him if he goes on literally any other show.
