I'm sure he has a list of those that are interested in the job. But if those guys are still coaching they will not be interviewing until they are eliminated. He will not make an offer until he has interviewed all the interested parties on his list. So, it may be another week or two. I've hired many people during my career and I've learned you need to talk to all of the viable candidates before jumping on the first good candidate. I thing he's determined to make the best hire possible and will take whatever time is necessary. All these rumors are just that. There are no real sources at this point IMO, just people throwing out theories or rumors to get clicks or attention. It's hard to wait but I think the longer it takes the better decision it will be. No way everyone will be happy for sure, but Dolson has more invested than anyone. In the interim this stuff is very entertaining if not informative, LOL. We should have fun with it, but not jump off the cliff before we really know anything, just my 2 cents from another old fart that's been following the Hoosiers since before RMK. You also have to do your due diligence and do a thorough back ground check on his candidate as well T White 1

Anyone have any idea contractually what that would take? surely there is a large non compete buy out for those two (similar to the big12 beard one), interesting though.

Isn't this sort of a violation of trust among schools in the same conference? So we got a very good women's basketball coach in Teri Moren. Can Purdue actively recruit coach Moren after the tournament? I don't understand why it would be a concerned. It is not like he sets eyes on one person then goes to the next one when turned down. He probably are reaching out to a lot of different coaches to gouge their interest and nothing more. You want him just to go after one guy like Glass did and hire the first one you interview. hoosrnight and T White 2

And they won their conf tournament this year. We've never won a conf tourney. Like I said, it's not crazy to debate things. We're living off history at IU. If we're simply comparing the last 5 years, TX has been better. And they've easily out recruited us since 2016, so we at minimum know the kids are buying TX over IU. Things can turnaround quickly though. Let's just hope we land the right coach. Its Always Sunny at IU and Indiana8585 2

So what is your argument going to be when Beard takes Texas, Muss doesn't leave Arkansas and Altman uses us for a raise? I am not saying historically those jobs are better. I am not saying the potential doesn't exist for IU to surpass them both quickly. I am talking about today. That they did not have the stones to take a better job like IU? Perception is reality, and the perception is we have fired 6 coaches in 20 years and made two SS, one of which we limped into backwards and got smashed with probably the best IU team in 30 years. Want me to really salt this wound? Right now, Purdue is a better job than IU, and it isn't close-- and that is going by your own "recent history bias". You can shout your theories but they’re still wrong. I could’ve been swayed about Texas at this moment but Arkansas has had one good season since 1996. That’s laughable to even compare the jobs. Altman covered up a rape try google on that before you say his name again. Reality is Arkansas has been to the S16 once in the last 26 years and has made the tourney way less than IU. I guess this one ☝️ season right now according to you a better job haha that’s funny. A school who’s fired three coaches in the last 15 years until Muss so they’re no different. Plus your last 20 years stats are do wrong I wonder if you’ve actually watched IU recently? Crean alone went to 3 S16’s plus our 2002 run. Maybe check up on that before you just spout straight lies.

I don't think there's anyone on this board that actually thinks Stevens is the next coach. It's a harmless what if that's more fun than trying to figure out how long before the next failed coach needs fired.

What’s the point of insulting IU fans and, by proxy, the posters on this site? because it is true and feel we as fans are part of the reason IU basketball isn't what it use to be. I just see more and more fans who probably had no clue about IU basketball before they attended IU. I just don't think those fans totally understand what IU basketball is all about or what it takes to win at IU. Today people just have knee jerk reactions and don't actually think things through before speaking. these media guys know how we are and they probably are having a lot of fun at our expense seeing the meltdown here. woodenshoemanHoosierfan and T White 2

Just randomly call people and hope someone says yes. And for me confirms the Matta news was accurate. I still think we can find a coach to get us in the tourney each year. That should not be hard at IU. Bring in Fife or Lewis and let's get going. So just look it as a normal job application in the real world. Does an HR department only bring in 1 resume at a time and look at it to see if they are qualified and want to hire that one. No they keep the job open and looks at 100's of resumes and then decide who they want to bring in for an interview. So what is so different in a coaching search when you want to look at multiple coaches before bringing in the few for interviews. T White 1
