What’re the chances Mark Few is willing to leave Gonzaga if the Zags go undefeated and win it all this year? Would hate for the streak to end but if it is the end of everything Few wants at Gonzaga I’d be ecstatic.

That, sir, is blasphemy. The IU streak can only be broken by another IU team.

Saw on here and on social media about the 4 p.m. presser, so I tuned in to the B1G Network. They're showing a retrospective of Illinois' 2005 run to the NCAA title game. 

I think it's some sorta weird karma. Our next coach will be ... Bruce Weber. 

Dolson can't resist the FIST!

Can't decide if the difference is that Dolson is a fool (spending $10M to sent Archie packing) or if he just has the stones that Glass never had... we should know the answer shortly...

The good thing is he didn't spend 10 million, he raised 10 million. Big difference.

Lol man. Dolson has stones. He spent money on IU Athletics for the first time EVER. We are paying assistant football coaches like Deland McCullough actual money, Tom Allen is getting paid. And now, it sounds like he has an inside track to an amazing hire because he’s not even putting together a search committee. THANK GOD for Dolson. Glass was soft AF.

Why we need a massive hire. We (IU fans) are the only ones that view us as a blue blood. And everyone else isn't wrong - we've been ****

Doesn’t matter who views us as a blue blood. We are a blue blood. Was Alabama no longer a blue blood before Saban? Indiana with the right coach, is immediately a national power brand. Look at who we’ve been able to recruit here while we were down. The Indiana name carries weight. Only thing missing has been a competent coach on the sidelines. 
 

To answer your question: 

This needs to be a massive hire for a few reasons. One being that we have botched the last 4 hires. Another being that we’ve already tried the lesser known and lesser accomplished guys, to no avail. Thirdly, and mainly  bc this job has evolved into perhaps the most pressure cooker job in America. It’s going to take the right guy who can handle the heat here and create momentum, then know what to do with it when the whistle blows. This program is at risk, more than ever, of losing a large portion of its fanbase to apathy. Time to stop dicking around and get a winner.

I wonder how many people are part of this philanthropy

I was not one of them. Not guessing, source is myself

[LamarCheeks]

If people are expecting a new coach to be named at the presser, I'm guessing you'll be disappointed. 

I just think Dolson will discuss his decision and answer questions. 

I cannot imagine he will have any announcement on who will be patrolling the sidelines at SSAH next season. 

[WayneFleekHoosier]

Please don't let me down, Indiana.  

So far so good.  Get a coach that can coach and consistently recruit and i'll be overjoyed.  

 

Please no Beilein.  It doesn't have to be Brad Stevens but that would be excellent.  About 5 guys out there that would keep me happy.

Make sure you put in a ticket early to cancel. They make it hard to actually cancel and I'll never subscribe to that site again. 

Can you advise how to put a ticket in? I signed up for the $1/first month and I'm looking to get out. Thanks

That's how it should be.  We have the length of the tournament to get it done and still have time to get next year's team in place.

My short list:

1. Stevens (dont think he's leaving Boston)

2. Chris Beard

3. Nate Oats

If it's not one of these three, then what are we even doing?

It said to call to cancel and then I called the number and it told me to send an email. I kept emailing until someone responded and they tried to give me a sales pitch to stay. People can get caught in those free trials if you don’t act quick enough.

Translation: he was not one of the guys we quietly contacted weeks ago. Good news.

Can someone link the press conference?
