How much, if at all, did Archie play into this? Was there feedback there that influenced the decision? 

I don’t have any reason to believe that angle played any role.

Matta wanted the job so bad that he accepted it and then turned it down. No physical was ever given or asked for. 

I thought it was Brad Stevens who did that lol

Pretty obvious statement when you're not in the know lol

I used “accepted” liberally, I should have said they were in agreement on the terms. As far as what the further discussion/topic was that caused him to pull out, I was told that they (my guy) wasn’t going to disperse that info to anyone but in due time it would probably become known. Has nothing to do with his health or a physical though. 

edit: separate “source” than the guy who told me to keep an eye on the trade deadline. 

That’s to bad. I like Thad compared to some of the other possibilities.

For what it’s worth, what Goodman said about how the Matta process went down on his podcast with Hummel is dead on. I know Goodman drives us all nuts (me included), but what he said is consistent with everything I’ve gotten (which is coming from two people who don’t know each other). And this makes sense because Goodman spoke to the guy himself, in person, Monday night.

What did Goodman say, if you don’t mind repeating

Just went back to look, and no longer there. I click on all sports, then basketball, then ncaa and then there was a tab under futures or something but it said “NCAAB Specials”. But not there anymore.

Thanks - at least I know I'm not going crazy.

It took me over 10-15 to find it myself. I literally went back to retrace my steps just now to answer your post properly but now it’s not there.

@Chris007 backalleyguru in the peegs chat is saying 3/27/21 at noon. He’s gotten a little more specific on his time now.

Yeah, just guessed that there was heavy interest before the media had come out with it and anyone here was talking about it.

Honestly if it were any other site I might give it a tiny little grain of possibility, but coming from that board I’d say 0%.

Basically, they approached him, he listened, he was intrigued by the idea, but ultimately decided IU is not the place for him. The physical never happened and that’s just not something that happens. Just BS. 

[TheDarkKnight69 328]

Just doesn’t make sense why we’d offer Matta the job if this guy has been saying it’s going to be Stevens on 3/27 now for awhile. 
 

The exact date and time of it happening is giving me big time QAnon vibes

wonder if there is a correlation to “pay attention to the trade deadline” I mentioned

A couple possibilities ......

- they (Dolson and Co.) wanted to fill the assistant roles

- they wanted Thad to modernize his offense (my bet)

If either of these or something similar is true (and could be WAY WAY off), then we might have a real problem on our hands. Coaches don't ascend to these heights by not doing it "their way." Dolson said in his presser he didn't want to "micromanage the program" but at the same time said he wants a "certain style of play."

I'm all for the certain style of play he is referring to but I don't want Dolson acting like Jerry Jones either!! "Thad, we want you to have the job but want you to do it our way."

Absolute speculation, but many hierarchies in sports have trended this direction over the last decade ---- where the #1 factor in hiring a coach is for that individual to be an extension of the "front office". Don't know that works with the egos we're talking about. But would certainly explain a potential hire like Woodson IMO.

If it does go that direction I hope hope hope Dolson knows what he's doing ..... he'll need to.

Don’t rack your brain. No one will ever have all the intimate details to piece the entire puzzle together. Enjoy the bits of info we get at a time and just trust in Dolson

This guy has been saying that the announcement would be made on that day since before Archie was even fired. Now he’s said the time.
