General Coach Candidate News

[JaybobHoosier]

I want to say this, don’t bash the resident insiders if they are wrong. They are sharing what they hear, but it’s up to the posters to believe it or not.
 

Whoever it is, let’s not focus on fighting amongst ourselves, let’s talk about a new era in IU hoops and how good/bad it could be. We have had to endure 8 years of bad basketball. Not getting political, but it’s like wishing a president would fail because you don’t like them. Worst thing you could do because that means America fails. 
 

Be critical, be frustrated, but also understand it could be successful as well. Let’s enjoy the ride, have good - civil conversation, and hope this all works out great for IU!

LMAO. If you’re friend hasn’t heard Brad say he wants to coach at IU and his biggest regret was not taking the job in 2021 then he’s not that close.

Sorry Chris.  I like you, but please stop with the inside Stevens info.  You were fed a load of ****.

[IUHoosier5]

I just want Brad dammit. Change your mind, please.

A recap of Dolson's search

If you guys really think this is the result of Dolson “scrambling” because he’s just a good coach and not your favorite coach, idk what to say. People have unrealistic expectations. You can’t read anything into how quickly this all came together IMO… seems obvious to me DeVries and McCollum were the two we were into deep discussions with. DeVries missed the tournament, did his due diligence, and the dominos fell accordingly. 

Think we made a really good hire. Excited to watch competent - great - basketball again. And have a real winning culture.

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

DvD it is then.

Come on man, don't do this. @Chris007 and others are legit. Sometimes **** actually does get pretty wild behind the scenes. Thank him and others for bringing us what they hear, and move on. Why point fingers, laugh at people, and call them out if they aren't always right? Be better. 

[tyappleg]

Good Hire.  He wins and he should have a very good portal class already coming with him.  His son is Big Ten Player of the Year level good.

As you can see on here some boosters and posters think Stevens signed. I was told he did, but then on Monday morning was told he actually said no. So I’m happy with Devries and if it’s not him great too.

Dusty signed his extension over a month ago. You’re telling me a B10 athletic director and a B10 administration thought they had a coach locked up on a verbal agreement for over a month? No deadline to sign? Didn’t bother to follow up at all until the absolute end of the season?
 

Do you really think the majority of this board is that stupid?

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.

The Brad Stevens dream is dead...

I’m sorry, but what’s being said about Brad Stevens is almost the same thing that was said about him four years ago. About how it was almost a done deal again. 

[IUHoosier5]

Now it’s being reported left and right. Let’s see what he’s got

Did I miss a post where Stevens told us no on Monday?  Likely given volume of post here

Yes many of us said it.
