Dolson will take his time on this one, this hire will determine his legacy at IU

Yep, as long as it’s by the end of April I’m ok with it.

We should just hire Norman Dale

I don't want somebody that's been in the water the past 10 years..

We’ve been discussing Thad’s health the last week or two and we finally get an updated picture of him today. There he is, wearing a freaking ankle brace. Jesus, of course he is! 
 

 

I noticed that too.  I would’ve loved to have him

I’m not upset about the time it’s taking, because I fully expect it to take at least another week and possibly longer. It’s the unorganized crap that I’ve been told by someone first hand

What exactly does unorganized crap mean? Dolson is unorganized or sources are unorganized?

Personally, I'd be okay with it coming at the end of May ;)

I thought this year the NBA season went into May if you ate still talking about Stevens or Donnovan

I think my viewpoint is reasonable. I don’t even care about his health. 
 

The fact that he’s been away from coaching D1 basketball and recruiting concerns me. I don’t care about his age. That’s a long time away to be from your passion.

So you would take Beilein over Matta? Beilein hasn’t recruited for about 2 years, old age, thug comment hanging over his head, and there’s a family issue as well. But let’s take him over a healthy Matta who has the best winning percentage of I believe every coach in consideration, and has good connections within the Midwest! A healthy Matta is head and shoulders above most coaches in all of college basketball.

I’m not saying he’s the best candidate, but it’s really annoying that coaches are being dismissed for one reason or the other, but I can easily do the same thing with the coaches you or other posters like just as easily. Some of the posters here are being unreasonable just because of their personal feelings on criteria. 
We all have opinions and that’s great, love that, but it’s the non-stop complaining about certain coaches that get really annoying!

It’s hard to explain honestly.  No Dolson is on his stuff.  If others would just leave him be, IU would be better off.

To be fair, my uncle is the same age and has to wear an ankle and knee brace anytime he is not sitting on his behind. If he’s not wearing shorts and flip flops, we never know.

As soon as Shooter gets out of rehab we should have our coach 

[DLG3 1,067]

For anyone curious, that ankle brace was an AFO, which is worn for drop foot. In other words, the nerves in his back have been so damaged, he requires a brace to keep his foot from dragging.

He didn’t have a good one I can tell you that

Love the info you bring, but a week ago didn't you say on HSN that your source said it wasn't Stevens, but that everyone would be happy with the hire?

I'm with you man. I scoffed at Matta initially, but upon reviewing his record and the other options he quickly rose to top few for me. 

I'd prefer him to Beard, Moser or any of the IU guy retreads.

If I did I don’t remember.  Last week at this time I was all aboard The Stevens train

He’s a young man, really. What 54? Coaching has been tough on him. He looks at least 10 years older in his face and legs. I wish him the best with his health, but even I knew we shouldn’t be targeting him. His quotes when he departed Ohio State speak volumes. He and JB should continue their passion in basketball, just not as a head coach of a major University.

True but we also have been told he needs help walking and getting to his seat. Seems like he is doing well and has been to several games. May not be ready to coach but not the invalid some reports suggest
