General Coach Candidate News

[Moye > Boozer]

Friends!!! We are focused on the wrong things!!!!

HERE IS THE MOST IMPORTANT POST YOU'LL SEE ALL NIGHT (if your goal is to relax and enjoy your Friday night)

Look at Holtman's buyout. I hope the rumor is true. That means we're swimming in the deep end. Exactly where we need to be.

Do you know of anyone else who has a $12M buyout that many of us would be pretty stinking excited about???? 

If Holtman rumors are true is PROVES money is not an issue and Dolson WILL land a premium target.

Which one remains to be seen. 

PS. my apologies if this has already been posted, it's very hard to keep up!!!

I was told that the intel out there today about Holtmann are not completely true. Seems to have origonated with Goodman who is a POS, so take it w a grain of salt.

IU and our fanbase is getting absolutely trashed by the national media. I’m having a hard time finding a precedent for any program at any point in time. What the **** do they really have against IU? It is pretty clear that these people have an axe to grind. I really hope that some coach stands up for us all and gives us the ability to shove it right up these dorks *****.

$10MM comes w more expectation than getting rid of someone .

It’s hard for us peasants to comprehend, but $10MM to a billionaire is hardly noticeable.

I'm guessing that IU's contact with Holtmann, Matta, Woodson, Cheaney, and any other name out there is actually pretty routine in a coaching search, but that sort of info generally goes by the wayside as soon as a coach is hired. Its been 11 days since Archie was fired, which isn't an eternity, but at also does provide enough space for those types of stories to percolate and gain traction.

I hope this doesn't go as long as the search UCLA did last time when it went 100 days before they hired Cronin

They know we’re insane, and we give them clicks and retweets/comments.  That’s how they get paid.

You are barely older than me and I grew up in Indiana as a die hard fan.  The difference between the fans then and the fans now is one group was cheering for a guy that won a Championship and went to the Final Four every 4 or 5 years and the current fans are rooting for a team that goes to the tournament itself about once every 4 years.
There are stories about IU fans throwing trash at the Purdue bus on the way out of town and things like that from the past.  There is just a whole bunch more opportunity for the fan base to show its @$$ now.
 

I’m 32. My first memories are sitting in a basement watching the mid to late 90s teams with my dad. Guyton, Patterson etc. my favorite team of all time is the 2001-2002 team. Loved every guy on that team. Outside of that run I haven’t seen any success other than random short runs. But I cheer my @$$ off and scream at the tv every night. My best friend has 3 young boys that can tell you the name and number of every player on the team. I think the older generation (not directed at you guys have no idea how old you are, just in general) I think they under estimate how much the younger generation and future generations are just as passionate. When people say it’s Indiana Basketball, it is. It’s not Bobby Knight basketball, it’s not 5 banner basketball. It’s the state of Indiana and how much meaning the sport holds to us, and we all want it to be successful no matter what era we grew up in. We want to win, we want to be proud of the flagship program that reflects our passion.

Granted I was a year old when RMK was hired, but I thought I've read that IU fans weren't initially happy because they were used to the "Hurryin Hoosiers" type of ball and RMK slowed it down with his motion offense.. but when the wins came and championships won, the man was a genius according to fans- so fit is less important than success.. Just Win Baby!

Yup. IMO he was a personality fit though. Regardless, winning will make folks overlook almost anything. He'll always be my favorite, that's for sure.

Oates are back on the menu boys!!!

As I said previously, I highly doubted Goodman.  National guys don’t report based on single sources without verifying them unless they have an agenda.  Goodman used one “source” and the term “zero in”.

Katz also said on Gottleib we've contacted Musselman and brought up the IU former players so he has no clue besides what everybody else has said.  I also believe we're going after one of these and that's why we just need to be patient. If we fail to get one then we go to the backups we have been in contact with not currently in the tourney.  I think he is trying hard for Oats. To be waiting we have to be getting feedback from their agent we're interested. If we make a push for big money they will either take our offer or get a raise at their current job. We need to get lucky one time.

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.  

So 2 guys who cite unidentified sources are to be accepted at full face value?  Good grief, sources could be a plumber unclogging their toilets because they're both so full of excrement.  They're both after clicks and citing "sources" is an easy way to get them because you have the perfect out when your "source" proves to be wrong.  My "source" tells me Dolson thinks Goodman and Doyel are both hacks.

[Hoosierfan2017]

Scott probably called up Holtmann to see if he had any IU guys on staff who would be interested in the job.
