Not buying a thing. Dolson isn't talking to ANYONE about the search, but somehow, DD managed to get info out of Dolaon? Poppycock.

If Dakich knows anything, it did not come from Dolson.

He was bashing the NBA repeatedly.  Basically said it's unwatchable and the players are almost all selfish.  I'd bet the farm that Dakich would be willing to do cartwheels butt naked down Kirkwood if we landed Brad. I just don't think he ever thought BS was realistic.

lol has he been reading BTB's Brad Stevens Conspiracy theory thread?

I’d actually guess that Peegs mentioning it likely means he or Rabby are hearing it somewhere legit.

He said on one show before the Brad masshole day that he was 60% sure he was coming to IU or something like that

Sorry to step on your joke! Figured you were kidding BUT if you have some Stevens hope, peegs mentioning the rabbit is good news.

Also heard about another potential coach who Scott was interested in.. I'll have to double check on that. Very unusual place. Be back in a few hours, gotta run some errands! 

That’s harsh...he does a double tease and then leaves to run errands...not nice Treesh lol

you are good. I am sure they are hearing "chatter" that it could be a rabbit out of hat situation but I only worry that people are saying that because nobody has any idea what is going on.

This is exactly how I feel. There have been literally zero good rumors coming out about our coaching search in the past week. Everything that we've heard has been depressing. Either the rumors are all fake, or we're in bad shape. 

 

My opinion is Scott made a big error in being so secret.  He should have said that he was going to interview everyone cause you just never know and the search will like go on until after the tourney because he’ll likely want to interview a few of those guys as well.  Then he could go and push for Stevens and if successful nobody would care about anyone else.   When Stevens fell apart he could spend time interviewing the long shots while he waits until the tourney coaches become available.  Nobody would expect anything until after the tourney.  What he has now is a situation where Stevens flamed out and the search look lost in the wilderness.

At this point I think we'd better hope Dolson pulls a rabbit out of the hat.  The alternative.........

If we hire Moser this will be an epic fail.  

Moser would be incredibly on-brand for IU, though. If I was a betting man he is who I would bet on. It makes too much sense.

Dakich probably thinks it’s going to be Stevens or an IU guy so it makes sense why he’s giddy about the thing. 

[HoosierFan1994 4,842]

I wonder if the rabbit out of a hat is the same thing some of our guys are hearing... they could be saying it to cover their bases too. You know people who pay money would be pissed if it is you know who and those two have no clue..

Has he mentioned he wants an IU guy?

Well that narrows the list down to about 5....

[Dave from Dayton 3,660]

The longer the coach search and the more IU loses, the more fodder a naysayer like Dakich has to vilify.

Doesn't matter who is selected...DD will be saying something...nay...lots negative and controversial.

That is the nature of media beast today.

Only one way to deal with the hate and discontent.  Turn. It. Off.

Moser has made the tournament 2 out of 17 times? Did I hear that correctly? No thank you on that.

I don't know if the Oats buyout is a big deal or not. There is a large donor committed to paying "transition costs" which seems to me might include buyout costs of the new coach. If it's not that, then what would be the large costs of transitioning that would require a donor? Dolson didn't say salary costs so it doesn't sound like this donor is helping pay the next coach above the level IU is willing to pay. So it seems like it would be a buyout that the donor is willing to pay.

The only way Dakich knows anything for sure would be if Dakich himself is "the guy"... and we all know that ain't happening...
