Don't forget about the coaches who have never been head coaches on the collegiate level before! 

Don't remind me I want to block that out of my mind forever

Nothing specific at all, just that he's pleased with the job/process Dolson is doing.

If Dakich is being Mr. Nice Guy, he must have some inkling of where this is all headed.  If he was totally clueless, I would expect him to be trashing Dolson.

he said that SD is really being thorough and taking a look at everything and everyone.

There is a reason why I have Steve Alford as my profile picture.

 

ITS SUPPOSE TO KEEP HIM AWAY

Which is why a good AD should do.

Dolson being thorough is not the concern here, Dakich being happy is the concern.

In terms of the roster, I will say that I had more fun watching Crean’s first season of no names that this past season.  My hope is that we do retain as many as players as possible but that the trajectory we were on under Miller was not a positive one.  It certainly might mean a couple steps back before we see gains.

He keeps trashing the NBA.  Hmm...

Thanks Vauxhall.

So what is the hate? That he's a jerk? Dirty? Friends with Dakich? Is it the hair?

I've got plenty of friends who feel the way you do. As mentioned, I'm indifferent.

Don't mean to sound naive on this as I've only been hanging around the board for a few days. Just curious??

It's all right here:

If I knew anything about coding, I'd create a bot that just auto-replies that link to anyone who so much as dips their toes into Alford talk. Most people with strong opinions on Alford know about this, but it hasn't stuck to him nearly as much as it should (i.e. he's still apparently viewed as employable by other schools).

Think he’ll enter the draft, but won’t sign with an agent. Doesn’t hurt him to wait til there is a new coach and then decide because he’ll at least still have the fan base on his side.

Indiana players are being talked to.  I imagine that is what has Dakich happy.  That has not happened the past few times.

My opinion, if we were going to hire any of the Indiana guys that get brought up here, they would already be the coach.  Look how quick Marquette moved on a guy that was in the tournament.  

If Dolson ends up hiring a Mike Woodson, who he could have had on board last weekend, while allowing uncertainty to pile up and players to begin seeking options, he would be about the most incompetent AD in America.  Benefit of the doubt, I don't think he is that dumb.  Our target is either 1 of the 16 guys who cannot talk yet or he is trying to go another route... and there is an obvious name still there for that second option  but I really don't want to go down that wormhole again this weekend.

If we end up with someone not from that final 16 or he whose name cannot be spoken, then I will really question WTF Dolson has been doing the past 2 weeks.  Rumors are he has known he was going to be doing a coaching search this spring, he should have been laying groundwork already with a couple options.

If thats it, then like Norman Dale said, my team is on the floor.  I only want players that want to be Hoosiers.

Kristian is in the portal. Smart is going to Marquette. Beard is heading to Texas by the assumption of common sense. 

[madmax 442]

Gotta figure Beard will destroy his legacy in Lubbock by going to UT. Maybe he could just come up north instead.

DD has has always said he wants an IU guy but he’s also said that he wanted the department to go away from the committee’s and search firms to do a real search to find a new coach. He also wanted IU guys to be really talked to instead of just being ignored. Dolson is doing that even if it’s not an IU guy that gets the job.

I hate to say it.. but some of them might not have options elsewhere..

Before when Archie was hired Fred Glass came out publicly and said that they would look at former IU players and people who were connected to the program and then he didn't. Dakich has said that its rubbed former players et al  and those connected in the wrong way. So I assume he's happy because Dolson is actually seeking feedback from prior IU guys, not because we are about to hire alford.
