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.

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

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 *****. 

Why do you think they have anything against us because we can be our own worse enemies.  I know one reason Goodman trolls us because he said the other day on his podcast that tweets from IU fans are the worse he has seen. If you watch Aseembly Call and no who coach Tonsoni is you know he does bracketology with his high school students.  He even said on something so minor the IU fan base rips them more than any fan base from comments

Wow something  on social media or the internet is not true, who would have known.  If this fan base would just wait and be patient and not go nuts on every little post these media guys would stop trolling this fan base.

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

Although, UCLA being able to hire someone the caliber of Cronin after 100 days, and Cronin being able to immediately get 2 decent season at UCLA does indicate that its not the end of the world if IU's search goes longer than people want

This where it gets interesting.   Rabbys new tweet says Dolson didn’t pursue Holtmann.   He confirmed someone from IU contacted him.   Meaning someone working for Dolson reached out but since it’s wasn’t Dolson he can deny he reached out.    I said Dolson had a tough decision earlier when he had to chose to fire Archie seems it’s going to get tougher before it gets better

Is this a game of Semantics? So did IU not reach out to him or did “Scott Dolson” not reach out?

[Indiana8585 129]

The media has hated us since Knight, I’m only 35 but I think you know what I mean by incidents, LSU fan, Puerto Rican Cop, Saying the media is two steps above prostitution, telling Connie Chung to lay back and enjoy (rape) if it’s inevitable etc etc. Coach Knight will be my all time favorite for a lot of reasons, some personal that were touching and kind but the national media couldn’t stand him and the way he kept winning. So now when we’ve been down most are just looking for revenge and want to shame the whole fan base because of bad jokes or past incidents and now have the ammunition.

"rips them more than any fan base from comments"

IU fans maybe as*holes, but by God; they're OUR as*holes...

Although, if Dolson wasn't the one doing the talking, then IU wasn't seriously considering Holtmann

I wouldn't say Cronin was a high caliber candidate and wouldn't have rally liked it if IU hired him.

Drew

Oats

Musselman

That is my top 3, maybe even in that order although I think I prefer Oats to Drew at this point. Very close between those two. I've warmed up to the idea of Musselman.

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”.

Goodman probably wants to be a IU fans' enemy #1. When people who crave attention don't get the desired amount of attention and love, they deliberately make people to hate him. They think of 'hate' a different kind of attention. They can't stand indifference.

Saying the media is two steps above prostitution-

 in a lot of respects, he wasn't wrong...

They could also have been asking Holtman's input on a certain candidate as well.

The question is which is a better job, not who has done better in the last 15 years. We've had some horrible hires but if we can get one good one here the coach will be a legend. It's not even close to which is the better job between us and Texas and I can't believe I have to type this out. 

I went to IU in the late 80s, and grew up a huge IU fan... so I'm fully aware of the history. 

That said, honest question.... What makes IU such a great job right now? Key word, right now. Or at least stay in the last 20 years. I'd really like to hear your reasoning.

Heck, the B10 hasn't even won a title in the last 20 years.

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. 

 Missed a SS and purposely ignored the FF run on 2002 because no person on earth doesn't know that was a fluke. You are acting like I am comparing IU to Rutgers or Northwestern. Again, its emotion preventing you from seeing reality. You are arguing about dusty banners, this is why Purdue fans clown us constantly. You're seriously arguing that because we went to a SS in 2016, 13 (embarrassed by a zone defense), and 2012 that makes our job better today? It has been 8 years since TC had us at #1. No one remembers that except us.  Arkansas is, by every metric a top fifteen historical basketball school, and currently is in better shape than IU. If Archie had the same record and tournament appearances in 17 and 18 as the last coach Arkansas fired, he would still be employed by IU. The numbers aren't that different. Follow along, not that I have been arguing history, but FWIW:

IU:

NCAAT-39, FF-8, EE-11, B10-22, BTT-0 most recent title: 87. 

Arkansas:

NCAAT-32, FF-6, EE-10, SEC-24, SECT-7, most recent title: 94.

Nothing about those numbers scream THIS SCHOOL IS WAY BETTER RIGHT NOW YOU ARE CRAZY FOR COMPARING THEM.
