We've also been told (not necessarily by you- I don't recall) about how tight-lipped Dolson is about this process....so there are competing narratives out there for sure. 

I think “tight lipped” and “unorganized” are synonymous here. Some of the insider sources are starting to get chapped at being kept in the dark, it sounds like. Doesn’t mean everything is going perfectly of course.

I would rather he has a smaller circle, than a larger one and risk leaks

Monday reminder:

UCLA searched 100 days before it hired Mick Cronin. He was no better than 3rd choice, after Jamie Dixon and Rick Barnes.

Cronin appears to be cruising to Sweet 16.

Barnes coached no-show Tennessee team.

Dixon MIA.

I could care less if I was told everything or nothing.  Both pay the same, I just share what I’m told.  Sometimes I’m right, most of the time I’m wrong

If the rumors about Stevens are true then we are truly doomed. I don’t want to believe them. He would have dealt a fatal blow, if true. 

Truly doomed? Dealt a fatal blow? That's a bit hyperbolic. Miller needed to go anyways. Even the not perfect coaches being mentioned are an upgrade after Miller.

I’ve lost faith in SD if he truly tried to hire Ohio states sloppy seconds.  Lame.

Guys, you're really working yourselves up into a lather over all the speculation from any and all sources.

Let's not forget Dolson has already surpassed many of our expectations by firing Archie this year, not next. If he had waited a year, I believe we would be in a far worse position in replacing him than many of you perceive that we're in now.

Personally, I want him to do his job. On his timetable, because he is the one with all the info. Not us, not bloggers, not reporters (there are no journalists anymore), not "insiders".

The speculation may be fun for some of you, but until he proves otherwise, I think Dolson knows exactly what he's doing.

Yeah I don't get this thought process. We need somebody to come in and coach good basketball not perform rocket surgery. There's a lot of guys that fit that bill. I don't think a "star" coach is super necessary for anything other than offseason optics.

Comment on Muss, I have some close friends that are connected in the Arkansas AD. I have been to Walton Arena (known locally as the basketball palace of Mid-America) several times, and I can say pretty definitely he is NOT an option. As much as I would like to have him, his family loves Fayetteville, the fan base is amazing and the facilities are top notch. We can't outbid Arky either. Even in Arkansas circles it is thought he may be just there for a few years and is looking for NBA head man status. Look at his coaching record, he is, in a word, transient.  Any move here would probably be in a similar vein. Think any chance of him is DOA, unless he has some history with Indiana I don't know of. Just FWIW.

After watching Arkansas - Texas Tech, I'd take either coach in a heartbeat just because they can get their players to play that hard.  Haven't seen that from the Hoosiers in quite some time.  Getting tired of hearing the coach say how hard we are playing when they don't pass the eye test.

Another thought.  Justin Smith sure makes me wonder if IU is where players go to die.  Smarts and ability and the coach spent three years trying to cram a square peg in a round hole instead of figuring out how to use that ability.  No wonder Smith had a "bad" attitude.

And look at Rutgers. They were a mess a few years back and found their way out. Find a guy that is a great leader or one you think can be.

Have no idea why this popped up here and now.

Relax. All people are seeing is social media reports. NO ONE KNOWS ANYTHING FOR SURE!

I think he leaves in a couple of years, judging by his track record
