This should go without saying obviously, but there will be no press conference tomorrow. I’ll be able to take the lid off a bit later in the week. But will say this, anybody providing details right no

I’ve had several PM’s so wanted to drop a quick line to the broader board. Love this group and fully intend to continue to contribute to the community, Im not going anywhere. (Sorry to a few of you) B

So I couldn’t get much from him unfortunately. But, to me that’s a good thing. There’s been pretty much zero chatter, nor leaks for a month about coaches. He said it doesn’t matter that the season is

Can you explain to me this anti-slow ball/ pro-tempo thing?

Past 5 champions

2019- Virginia- AdjT: 353

2018- Villanova- AdjT: 150

2017- Gonzaga- AdjT: 76

2016- Villanova- AdjT: 274

2015- Kentucky- AdjT: 274

AVG Adjusted Tempo from 2015-2019 champions: 225

I guess I don't see a correlation between up-tempo and winning. I'm not against it, I just don't get why so many here seem to be pushing for it over- what appears to be- logic.

IF Gonzaga wins it this year they will certainly be the exception, not the rule.

Someone please explain...

Gonzaga didn't win in 2017

yes it is quite the deal.  I am a high school teacher.  I have had this thread open all day. This afternoon during my prep a student came to get some help from me.  While I was helping them my computer kept dinging from new replies in this thread.  The student even commented that my computer was sure making a lot of noise, lol.  And all the while I am helping this student I am wondering if there is some type of news in this coaching search.  The struggle is real. 

I was finishing up a movie through my computer with this thread open - same thing- "DING". periodically as the movie was playing..kids were looking at each other and I acted like I was trying to figure it out too.. LOL!!!!!!

I do trust Dolson a lot more than Fred.  Not even close really. 

Dolson hasn't really earned my trust yet.  I'd trust a wet fart more than Fred Glass; him getting it right would be the world premier of demons on ice.

Dizz, this is not aimed at you specifically but in general at the discussion regarding Moser.  He was a slow starter in his career but he's figured out how to win...he grasps his own strengths and weaknesses and continues to make adjustments over time.  Anyone citing his earlier years or his full career record is missing the point with this guy.  He's a very good coach today and has been for four years now.  Four years is not a fluke.  If he'd had the same level of talent for those two years in between his final four and today, he'd have made runs then too.  His pace is slow but the offense is much smoother than Miller's, even Bennet's.  My wife, who half-heartedly watches hoops on occasion, has used the word "beautiful" at times to describe some of his plays and she's not wrong.

Is Moser the right fit for IU?  I dunno...his style does not fit what Dolson described.  But some of the critics I've seen on this board are flat out wrong.  He's going to get a power five job and I believe he'll be very successful.  

 

Only two of those past four years were really good ones, though. He lost as the one seed in his conference tournament as the 1 seed last year. I disagree that it’s not a fluke. It still remains to be seen if the past four years are who he is moving forward, or if the 10 losing conference seasons in the previous 13 seasons are, or if it’s some combination. I agree with you that he’ll get a P5 job. I just don’t want IU to be the one to give it to him. Let someone else take that risk.

What in the **** Is going ON!!!!!! lol

 

Dolson is in completely over his head at this point. I think after both the Matta news and this news we can conclude that he doesn’t have some master plan of getting a guy still coaching. I don’t think he has any plan at all beyond grasping at straws.

Correct. It ebbs and flows and styles come and go. Speed itself is not a "style." It's what you do while you have the ball that defines a style. In the current NBA, what they do with the ball is move, pass, and look for an open jumper, hopefully a 3, and yes it tends to be fast. But it's not "fastest team wins."

To say offense were slower back in the day is so inaccurate.  Just watch the 87 final four game aganst UNLV and the pace in the game was so much better than we see today. Even after makes both teams didn't just walk the ball up the court but would throw the ball up quickly
