My guess is that’s what Kendrick heard but he didn’t want to out the coach by name. I’m guessing that’s why Jim Reamer responded to Bozich in that Twitter exchange with a gif that said “nothing”. AAU guys might be excited but do t want to burn bridges before the new coach gets to town. This would make sense. Dolson's press conference stated he would talk to those around the state and get their opinions, which I assumed meant AAU/top high school coaches. ap2345 1

We literally just had a cardboard cutout of a coach that couldn't get the fanbase excited. He fits Virginia. A historically bad basketball school that had zero culture. So Bennett built one. Indiana has a culture for basketball and Bennett is the literal opposite. Terrible thoughts. Just TURRIBLE CSP, Indiana8585 and IU Scott 3

I think he started slow in the BIG because he was learning the conference. He is way past that now, he could win at any BIG school now, and his successes were pretty recent. He isn't that old, people do well at his age. Look at our recent Presidents...lol. John seems like a kid next to them. Did you see the reaction of the Michigan players when John was there for their big ten championship this year? Was pretty cool. jumpshot53, JaybobHoosier and NVFalcons1990 3

"see how the new coach would be perceived in the state" so following that logic-sounds like it would for sure not be an "IU guy"

That said you always want to check. Just because it’s an IU guy doesn’t mean AAU coaches and High School coaches would like the hire. lillurk 1

He doesn't fit the job in anyway. He doesn't have a style that fits IU basketball and he doesn't have a personality more than a cardboard box. He's literally the exact opposite of what is needed. What style is “IU basketball”? Because from where I sit, it’s been losing. guess I don’t get the thought that if the name doesn’t come from an individual’s personal list of top two or so, it’s a bad hire. woodenshoemanHoosierfan, T White, JaybobHoosier and 12 others 15
