And the “telephone game” makes this now a definitive headline.  

Is Dave Calabro breaking that story or is he at the race track

Thanks for the info. I just can't understand the "appeal" for him.

Archie Miller cannibalized this program. We reacted to it. Simple as that.

If we contact all the guys @Chris007 mentioned and for some reason they all say no I hope Scott gets mad and puts together a stud staff around a guy like Fife. Not that I am enamored with Fife I just like the idea of saying oh you don’t think we are a top program, let me show you.  Get a great staff and whatever resources they need to get after it.

SO did anyone notice Chubbo McChuberson cut off slow talking Brad Stevens, likely muting his mic, just as he said, " I am not..."

 

I believe the remainder of what he said was "...going to turn down the greatest job in the world again. Thank you Boston, now go suck it."

oh boy I just about fell out of my chair laughing at Chubbo McChuberson. My wife says I never got past junior high and I kind of agree

I'm in the same boat as you. I don't get it either.

Few things annoy me more than this stuff. We’re no different than any other elite fanbase would be after the five years we’ve just had. Get outta here with this crap. 
 

 

Advocates for IU to hire a former Knight player.

Who, Jay? Please, for the love of God, tell us which former IU player is capable of taking over the program? 

There is no one. 

On this one, Bilas is simply being a tool.

Those crazy IU fans mad about five years of .500 or worse records and no tournament appearances. How dare they! It’s just a lazy argument media guys like to make.

I honestly have no idea, I do think we have a verbal agreement or something like that with someone. I think it has to be Stevens, Beard or Drew. I don't think we pay 10 million buyout and get other money for Matta or Beilein

Media people like to stick up for coaches because a lot of them failed as coaches and like to blame the fans for their failures.

This, from the Alabama coach, denying interest in any other job than the one he currently has. Once you go third person,  in my book -- you're out! 

“To be honest with you, I don’t even know if anybody’s reached out to my agent because my agent knows what my thought is,” Oats said. “If they have, he’s probably told them thanks but no thanks and I’m locked into coaching this team. It really doesn’t matter what the media wants to bring up as far as what jobs may make sense for Nate Oats.

“Nate Oats and his family know what jobs make sense for him, and we love being at Alabama right now and we’ve got a special thing going. We’re coaching our team and trying to get as many wins out of this deal here in Indy as we can possibly get.”

Inside The Halls new article on potential coaches is simply hilarious. Can’t believe they wrote it being serious 

Their original list of nine names is almost identical to those being tossed around here (Stevens, Beard, Altman, Fife, Musselman, Beilein, Oats, Drew, Matta).

That second batch of names is likely just a chance to write another article (creating additional content), and to add a few more coaches with some sort of connection or possible interest (not necessarily mutual interest).

Hey all B-Town residents BOLO on Dolson, if you find him at a restaurant or sports bar, keep ordering him drinks, then commence the interrogation!

What if Fife was brought in as HC with Beilein as the Associate Head coach...like Howard did at Michigan
