No wonder people nationally think this fan base are crazy. Just look at this board the last two months and that proves their point because bwe are insane. Every day a new name comes out and we flip out

 We also believe every little thing that is posted and take it as gospel and that just allows for people to have fun at our expense. Most of these podcasters and posters are playing most of you like a fiddle and are enjoying every second of it.

Most if not everything that is said is from the coaches agent and nobody outside of the IU administration knows a damn thing

RELAX 

IU has 790,000 grads. How many people total are on IU sports message boards? How many of those are IU grads? Not remotely representative of the actual fan base.

"IF" "COULD" ....nope.....There is a big gap between your "other 3" and Collins.....My lord, we have lost our minds.

We get it. You don't like Collins.

This is awesome! 2500 pages in this thread and Scott Dolson woke up Monday morning and decided it’s time to go find a coach!

so we're paying $5 million for DD?  answer the question 

Yes? It’s not some outrageous amount for a guy we should be happy wants this job. Best coach since Sampson

We paid Tom Allen like 15 million to leave.

This coaching search has been a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma. 

 

Because teams don't usually fire their coaches until 2 days ago and most hire coaches next week. We've been at this for a month and a half.

Who else are you going to hire?

I can think of one or two other "out of left field choices." Based on my tea leaf reading posts, I have already stated these.

This has been the wildest coaching search i've seen. a lot of misinformation all around and too many twists to keep up with. If it ends up being DeVries, we are getting ourself a hell of a coach. WVU this year was 20th in overall defense, and 9th in the country in defending the 3P, he also really emphasizes 3s over 2s (WVU attempted 849 3s compared to IU's 632). His brand of basketball is modern, and very different than Archie/Woody ball we are accustomed to. 

He'd also bring his son, and most likely Stone, Amani, and Powell with him. He knows how to work the portal. Not sure why people are questioning whether or not he'd be a good hire - i'm guessing because everyone wanted the grand slam hire, myself included. But he'd be the best hire since Sampson

Amazing to me that people would rather have Mccollum over Devries. There's a reason why Devries is the consensus option 1 between the two. He's got high major experience, he can coach, he has proven that he can recruit (top 20 recruiting class coming in), Drake was pitiful before he came and turned them into what they are today, and his son is a bona fide STUD.

If it is DD I’ll be damn happy, but man we were told Dolson had been busy the last two months

I think this is where all the Stevens, white whale, big fish rumors hurt the program. I appreciate the insiders as they have brought the goods on recruiting. But I said this before and I’ll say it again the insiders have never been right on the coaching searches. I’ve been around since before Sampson was hired and each times the insiders would throw out these rumors l, and it was always false. But let’s not crucify them. Let’s just back the next coach. If it’s DeVries, let’s support him and the program. He is a damn good coach and would be our best coach since Sampson.

Before Brad Stevens, the white whales were Rick Pitino and Tom Izzo during both the Sampson and Crean hiring processes.

I always patterned Rivals as more AEWesque, so that makes sense, bruv. 

That doesn’t work for me, brother

Fun reading for those sickos who need to peruse two boards at once 

One guy said "The offseason is more exciting than the actual season!" Isn't that true for us too?

[JimmerNoe]

If we go with Devries we better get to know who Goodman’s “mystery candidate” was

That’s what KathywithaC says.  But KathywithaK said KathywasaB and they get to duke it out to get our timelines right.  I figure Dolson is like that fat girl being the bodyguard of the 7.5 at the bar.  Sooner or later she will eat her snickers and get distracted.  When that happens?  We will overpay our next sacrificial lamb.

He'll be a better hire than Sampson because he's just as good at the X's and O's and (to my knowledge) doesn't have a drug problem in his locker room.

I guess the consolation is that we weren't the only B1G school to be told that their dream hire is not a candidate.
