Would Shaka Smart make the jump from Texas to IU? 

Hell no. We would have been calling fir his head 2 year ago with his record there until this year.

By the way, I didn't see Chris Beard at Assembly hall, did see a couple of familiar faces. 
Also please don't get me wrong I don't think there is a deal getting done or an announcement or anything like that today, tomorrow or probably anytime soon. Just to be clear, but I still love Dolson and I believe in him

I read an article on SI that say one person that checks all the boxes the administration wants is Keith Smart. Could he be a fringe candidate.

The economy in Indiana is going to take a major hit if this drags out until the end of the NBA season.  People on their phones all day checking to see if Stevens finally pulled the trigger.

When Brad gets the job, I can see him being an assistant. But I'm sure he is preparing for Dane Fife and MSU

Not in my world as head coach, but I think he could be an assistant

Keith Smart allegedly checks all the boxes the writer of that article wants -- and it's a very arbitrary set of boxes. It really didn't have anything to do with what the administration wants.

I will say this, even if Stevens doesn’t take the job (sorry, just in case) you have to still give a ton of Credit to Dolson for trying everything he could if these stories are correct. Now let’s get back to the excitement!!

I'm an optimistic person. I have NO info that he will or is taking the job. Just feels that way to me. By the way, I loved reading your stuff on HSN, we'll have to compare notes sometime. :-)

There may or may not be a leprechaun in this video. 

I doubt Mark Cuban would send Rick Carlisle out to help us recruit Brad, but he was a Celtic.  Could it be Slick Leonard?  Maybe he is on the sidelines with the 79-80 Pacers team.

Seriously... Stevens better make this official soon so that Indiana does not slip into a recession!

Quick, can anybody tell me which was the only IU head coach in the last 50 years to have a losing record?

I always enjoyed Johnny Most as an announcer. I think he had some really famous moments from calling Celtic games

Sometimes you need a leprechaun to bring it all together

Does the leprechaun wear #44?

When I read the 1st post I LOL'd because I thought you were referring to Archie as the leprechaun - he brought it all together by being hired when BS wasn't ready, and did bad enough to get fired when he (hopefully) is.
