Cliffs notes?

Guessing - IU woke, Dane good, Mike bad, and let’s go tour the capital.

The NCAA is equal parts incompetent and corrupt, but I'm sorry if a politician has enough time for this then they shouldn't have their job.

One thing I haven’t seen confirmed - did QB give Dolson a quid pro quo?   “Here is $10mm to buy out Archie, but you need to hire Stevens and if he says no, you hire Woodson?”

Iu we fired archie knowing we may end up getting Woodson we are even dumber than I thought. And I think we are pretty dumb.

No way they take Devries over the golden boy. That's beyond dumb.

Maybe McCollum already said no due to Iowas NIL situation?

Anyone else immediately ignoring anyone sharing updated flight tracking? Seriously....

I'd argue now's the best time to start looking at it. We should just assume Bedford, Massachusetts isn't the only place we should be setting our sights.

Although I don’t disagree, this is all about WV demonstrating its commitment to the basketball program.  DeVries will be gone by Thursday at the latest.

That’s my thought too.  But on the flip side, if McCollums heart and dream job are Iowa and he feels like he could win there, would he prefer that job?    I could see it both ways.  
 

And I’m assuming Iowa nor Indiana fired their coaches without having some sort of preliminary conversations with these candidates (and others)

Yeah, that'd be malpractice to not have an idea. You could be right, McCollum could have a dream of being a Hawkeye legend, but then again you'd think Btown boy Dusty May would have the same dream. 

I'm still 5% in the camp that Dusty is coming to IU at seasons end - because that's what I want to believe. I also believe that Brad Steven is IU's next head coach. 

Cast a wide net as the wiseman says

That’s why I think Dolson actually had Matta ready to go and QB overruled him.   
 

Anyway, sounds like QB is out of the picture on this one.

You're saying they shouldn't have time. I'm saying I want Mike Braun behind a microphone by day's end!

Do not throw personal insults at people you disagree with, and if someone does so? Expect the mods to handle the situation. So if it happens, do not repost the offending post with an equally offending response.

1. First step for off-rules posts? Hidden.
2. Second step? Official warning point plus direct message from mods.
3. Finally? Banned.

And there is the risk.  I think a lot of people expect a Dusty May style turn around.  Dusty at least had D1 experience and a FF4 run.  

It's scary the amount of people who seem convinced he would kill it here because he won at d2 and they are impressed the way he talks about x and o's. The fishbowl could swallow him up in two seconds and I'd love to hear the excuses at that point.

Why even have an AD is they cannot do their own job.

May accepting the revised contract at Michigan made me think IU already had their guy.  
 

The other side of that is the argument that Mays family is still around town.  And if didnt end well at IU for May, a lot of lives could be affected.

What if I said someone smelled like a fish, but the fish is not dead?

[Bowhunter 3,088]

I’d say it’s going to be a lot longer till we find out. Unfortunately the names media has been throwing out lately are probably some of the ones we are targeting.   It sucks, unless we find a diamond in the rough.

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.  

It is a shame so many posters on this board, many regulars along with some newbies have taken to attack and demean @Chris007, @RoadToZion, @JerryYeagley23 .  "oh we dont like being trolled" "dont tell us stuff that might not turn out to be true" ...If you have been paying attention Chris has said so many times that if he were to guess if it were BS it would be less than 50%.  Even yesterday he was questioning how "homerun" was defined.  RTZ has not changed his position yet nor has JY.  The RTZ comment it is dead, then the undertaker plus Tony,Toni...post on the bunt could mean they pivoted to a different big hire.  

The thing is, anyone better than a risinig star as a coach would be on par with what our peers have done over the last decade.  Have they suggested it is a bigger fish, sure.  Is it still possible, sure.  Could it be a swing and a miss, sure, but so many of you get personal with the attacks on people on here that are our community/friends.
