So that logic means Brad or WW? Because I just feel like Dusty is a 0% chance

To be fair, he just threw out some big names.  He said "I don't want to say Brad Stevens, but somebody like that".  I think he just threw out a couple random names as examples of bigger names than guys like Brownell or McCollum.

Much more interesting to talk about young emerging coaches than 24/7 prayer circle for the white whale

He definitely thought he could. His problem was that he thought his mere presence would make it so and that was about all he was willing to do.

He did his job. Not his fault no one else knew they were supposed to drop dead in his presence.

Our next coach is going to cause a lot of excitement…much more than a McCollum or Brownell. Time will tell. Stay patient

I am going to bed and hopefully when I wake up we won't still be stuck on these lower tier coaches

Pretty much everyone whose job it is to cover IU and NCAA basketball in general who have talked about the IU coaching search have said that the IU side is very quiet so they're not getting info there. That means that pretty much everyone being talked about is coming from external sources such as agents. It is beneficial for agents' clients to be associated with the IU job. The clients might want the job, hope that being thought of in connection with IU will get them a job somewhere else, or maybe just to try to get a raise/extension from their current employer.

The chances are good that the people we're talking about won't be the next IU coach.

If true that confirms it hasn’t always been Brad

& that Dolson is in scramble mode, or considerably down the list…

Rabby on peegs chat: Just received a couple texts: "It's done." Neither person claimed to know who, but they both said "It's done." If that's true, then it's gonna get real interesting real fast around here. Heavy on the "If that's true."

Rabby said he has multiple "It's done" texts that he believes but none of those people know who it is.

Or McCollum has been Dolson's target this entire time and we're duking it out with Iowa for him. Loser gets DeVries, lol. 

I don't think we can read any tea leaves to say much of anything definitively at this point.

We'll find out whenever the official announcement is made. Thankfully not much longer now.

If someone is praying for anyone as our next coach, they have bigger issues than who the next coach is. 

Speaking of "young emerging coaches", how did AM work out?

Got a chance to watch the video interivew with Dakich and McCullom interview.  Good stuff.  Dakich said at one point that McCullom reminded him of Brad Stevens.  

The bad news.......it is coming from Dakich :)

Better write off every young coach, Archie Miller didn't work out!

I agree with your first sentence, lol. Although this program could use some divine intervention for sure.

If that’s not an A+ hire, what the hell is?

Is it just that he’s not famous enough?

Devries would be a good hire but an A+? Could end up being an A+ but he certainly wouldn't be an A+ hire from the start.

Looks like IU made one last run on Dusty according to the Coaching Changes account.

That’s the third person this account said is the “target” in 3 days. It’s been Brownell, then DeVries, now Dusty. They don’t know anything.

Mismanaging the basketball program for 25 years would definitely suggest IU will ignore Beard/Wade/Golden. 
 

Indiana is a better job than Florida and it’s IU‘s job to make that clear. If IU can’t make the case to someone qualified then again, that’s just incompetence. 
 

You can have mid NIL and salary and play in a FedEx warehouse or you can have top level NIL and salary and play in a limestone cathedral. 
 

It is public knowledge that IU has top shelf money for both coaches and players, that we have a great arena and there is prestige (though fading) to the job. IU needs to do better at hiring basketball coaches. It’s literally their job and it will be their fault (not the fans’) if they hire another dud. 

Other than a giant bag of money compared to UF bball (for now), what makes IU currently a better program?

UF has an excellent on campus arena. A better conference. A better team. Multiple more recent National Championships. More cache with players. More guys in the NBA at a high level. A #1 seed and the best team in the nation for over a month. Great weather and a campus that is very similarly beautiful to IU.

We have a better football team. We have potential. They have realized their potential. We hope to be like them. They are them.

Oh, and they identified a very bright young mid-major coach; something we could have done four years ago with Gates, or can do this time with McCollum, Huss, Murray, etc. Just gotta pick the right one.

I wouldn’t go that far but it means that posts of  done deals, we got our guy that have been posted for weeks/months etc wasnt true. 
Maybe we land a good one but it seems that whoever we get was a recent thing or will be a recent thing
