It'd be a failure to him because the game wouldn't be a track meet.

Sorry that I want good basketball. Playing not to score like a crappy HS game, isn't basketball. It's not Indiana basketball.

He had a lot of great offers. Yeah he had a bad year but he has the most potential on the team currently. I'd put Jordan up there on potential too!

I find it hard to believe Scott Dolson will tell the players who is coming. That doesn't make sense to me at all. Maybe he tells them an hour or two beforehand but anything longer seems a little reckless. 

I also find it all but impossible to believe that Dolson would leak.

I find it entirely possible that an agent/sports marketing firm would leak. N.D. Kendrick is completely wired in to the AAU scene. He is someone that could find out before the public.

I am hoping this guy's definition of HOME RUN and my definition are the same...

In other news, Archie Miller changed his Twitter bio and header. I wonder why Dolson didn't like Ostrom. Interesting. By all accounts he seemed like a decent guy.

Pickers cant be choosers. Not everyone is going to be happy with who we get. Bennett is a great coach. Winning is fun no matter how its done. Bennett is a winner & thats what weve all been crying for.. WINS.

Who said he didn't like Ostrom? Just because he didn't stay on as part of the transition staff?

unless I missed something, pretty sure that had more to do with Ostrom's loyalty to Archie, as they had been together for a decade.

This better be a 4 point play hire

If there is some deal done, trustees would be getting to know by now. So someone connected there. When it is all said and done, only Dolson, his assistant, trustees, McRobbie, and the two boosters will know. Now that is a decent amount of people who could leak. I was getting my info from someone connected to these people. Just didn't work out

That's probably more likely. I thought Ostrom did a very good job recruiting. He just lost his mom three or four weeks ago and now he lost his job. Tough stretch for the guy!

Wouldn't the "new" coach and his team know as well??

yeah that is tough. I do think he will land on his feet and get a job somewhere for sure. Could be a good thing for him to take some time off though, never know

The new coach would. His team? Well if Lander knows they all do     :)

I heard our mod old fart got hired and we're going to give whoopie cushions to the students behind the baskets to distract free throw shooters.

Agree. I also think the majority of the fan projected list of candidates is an upgrade regardless from Arch. IU was going no where a few weeks ago. I think the BIGGEST gamble we can take is to play the up and comer card again a 2nd time. We can't do Fife (yet) or the others. We have to hit the main list. I'm good with any of them really (glad Alford is a no). Dolson is giving it a real shot it would seem. And that's all we can be happy with at this point.
