It could be Brad, but the level of secrecy alluded to by Jerry—with a threat— seems a bit much just to not hurt Woodson’s feelings. Far more likely it’s someone currently coaching who wants to finish the year.

Or anyone who still has a job. Let’s say’s it’s Stevens or  Billy Donovan. Wouldn’t secrecy still be important until they are ready for it to be announced?

Big wink update. First, I haven’t been given “everything,” just a “big wink” in response to the appropriate big wink questions from the big wink contact who makes big wink financial contributions who would not pony up big wink money without first getting his own big wink from a big wink financier that a big wink contract would only be going to a big wink hire. Here you go…

The first name of our next coach begins with B. The last name of our next coach does not begin with B. See you all in a few weeks and enjoy the tournament!

If it’s Ben or Buzz, gimme McCollum. Both are solid options.

If @Chris007 has 3 supporters I am one of them. If he has one supporter I stand alone. If he has no supporters then BTB is rubble or I am in the grave

So if this is indeed contracted, I feel very good.  This does not mean it is BS or another big fish but it suggests Dolson got one of his top candidates.  I may have hoped for a different candidate (May was my #1) but if we did not get my guy I wanted Dolson to research the field, pursue his targets and get one of them.  If he has that man, I feel good.

We would have a hard nosed team. 

But probably put teams in the double bonus 7 mins into each half.

Interesting.  That could bring someone like Pearl into the discussion.

Busty May?!

I don't want to create arguments, call out sources, or even worse, reveal sources, but I'll say, @Chris007 is way more tuned in than some give him credit for. After reading some of the recent updates, and seeing how this is playing out, I can confirm the guy has been pretty spot on in all of this. We've shared some private messages, and he knows his stuff. We should be thankful to have him, and many others, sharing their info here. 

Yes, these are guys who have been reliable for the whole time I’ve been here. Newcomers should not knock them. Hope chris007 and others like him continue to share.

Ben and Buzz don’t seem to qualify as big wink, if I’m understanding that term correctly

I have to assume this infers Stevens or maybe Donovan/Pearl??that would be a big wink. Buzz and especially Mccullom do not constitute as a "Big Wink"

[HoosierPapi4]

I mean the only 3 big wink hires with a B...Bruce Brad or Billy
