Thamel is the dude from ESPN...if it's not DeVries then this is crazy....

It says targeting.....that's a fancy way to say "top candidate" which no one has been correct on this entire search.

Elaborate on that. What’s coming, if you know? Don’t think anything shared on a forum will compromise anyone or any business dealing at this time 

Darian Devries is coming. Spreading some sarcasm on pretty thick in the post you quoted.

Just wanna say again, this is by far THE BEST and MOST ENTERTAINING message board in all of sports. You're all / we're all insane, and I love every second of it. This is equal parts stressful, maddening, confusing, and exciting. Who's it gonna be???

DeVries obviously 

[Pagoda 3,932]

Alright, Thamel said it and the people who cover CBB/IU have picked up on it.

Let’s go DDV!!!  Hit that portal and call Mullins!

DeVries had the all-time single-season wins record at Drake until McC eclipsed him this year. Notable because https://x.com/m_wiemuth_/status/1891503968469012612?s=46

Come on guys we know that the search firm is hired to to background checks and to talk to agents to see if their clients are interested in the job

 It would s obvious the top choices all said they were not interested and are happy where they are at. All of this stuff s not a surprise at all since top candidates don't leave their jobs.

So now we are actually doing the real process of finding the coach who are realistic.

You are very close. I think Scott believed or was led to believe he had him this time. I haven’t gotten the whole story yet but I think he was told last minute as in Saturday that he either changed his mind or was a no go. I think we had already told a lot of coaches we had our guy. Then had to turning everything into overdrive. I’m sure Jerry will be able to explain it better.

So Dolson and Stevens had a handshake agreement for over a month causing Dolson to not pursue May, Drew, Otzelberger and it fell apart….again….at the last minute. And you believe that?

Good lord

Before we go any further can we stop calling him DvD? The V comes after the second D, not before. Also the V is capitalized. DDV. Or just DD.

Sorry to go all Kathy on y'all but it's been driving me nuts lol

Well if it's really over. What a ride fellows. Well done and LFG

If true, that would be a major failure on his part.

Of course, when an announcement IS made he'll say "this is the guy we were after all along".  Sheesh.

If true, “ him” is a major Richard who fu**@d around with IU and is not a reflection on Dolson. Then IU had to do an actual Coach search.

If you think DeVries is remotely comparable to the Woody hire and constitutes getting “hoodwinked” I’d hate to hear you describe the Louisville hiring of Kelsey lol. 

Mugging gone wrong?

Stabbed and left for dead in an alley?

Grand theft auto?

Sign me up for getting hoodwinked! 

The answer's obvious. Its held at gunpoint in a strip club.

Just let it go.  (When official) we have our coach.  Let's all rally behind him and support him instead of getting into a pissing match over stories

Dolson is a moron.  Got hoodwinked in 2021.  Got hoodwinked in 2025.

I still can't believe you guys actually believe all this crap

I'm starting to think that Brad Stevens is not, in fact, a fan of Indiana basketball
