HoosierTrav Posted March 7, 2021 Posted March 7, 2021 20 hours ago, Stuhoo said: He’s only 41. Graduated from Cal Berkeley in three years as an academic All-American. Leonard Hamilton was never thought to be a good coach...until he got Dennis Gates. Leonard Hamilton didn’t attract 5 stars, until Dennis Gates brought them in. Dennis Gates took over a team that was sooooo bad, he was conference coach of the year, while going 11-21, 7-11 in conference. He followed that by going 17-7, 16-4 in conference this year. He is smart, relates to the kids, is a badass recruiter, and exudes leadership in every imaginable way. He’s also smart enough to have brought an old grey haired basketball lifer along as his assistant. That guy’s name? Dickey Nut. That IU could have Peter Jurkin followed by Dickey Nut in ten years should be enough in itself. I’m interested

coonhounds Posted March 8, 2021 Posted March 8, 2021 Were hearing on here that thad can barely walk to and from his seats at butler games but also hearing he wants to coach division 1 again.

I know he interviewed for the UGA job a few years back, so at least we know he's interested in the right opportunity. If the drop leg issues have persisted though, might make for hard decision. It's not like he has to run the court, but he needs to at least be able to get around easily. coonhounds and lillurk 2

Yeah I will take him over archie in a wheel chair I just am worried about his stamina for recruiting and coaching in games. Hopefully he is healthy and could do the jobSent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk Southside 1
JSHoosier Posted March 8, 2021 Posted March 8, 2021 If Matta is open to coaching again, he either needs the money or feels he's healthy enough to do it again. If he's healthy enough, I'd be thrilled. JaybobHoosier, Kepner, lillurk and 2 others 5
Trish Posted March 8, 2021 Posted March 8, 2021 Our AD is going to hire a guy who hasn’t coached or recruited in four years? Kids don’t even know him.
kreigh8 Posted March 8, 2021 Posted March 8, 2021 55 minutes ago, Stuhoo said: All of y’all that criticized the choice of Dolson? Remember, a major part of being a successful AD is the ability to raise money. That is Scott Dolson’s wheelhouse. Before we erect the Dolson statue shouldn’t we wait to see who he hires? If I recall correctly a lot of the criticism of Dolson was that he was a Fred Glass clone except with a stop as a basketball manager. He’s got a chance here to prove those doubters wrong as Glass’s hirings haven’t all worked out obviously, but Fred had no trouble raising money himself I wasn’t one of those critical, just going off memory for those who were. Consider me impressed when the basketball program is turned around - until then I’m cautiously optimistic.
