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.

Your source sounds incredibly well informed.  What else does he got?

Can I be a 5 star recruit now lmao

 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.

Blah blah blah You comparing Arkansas to IU is laughable and doesn’t deserve a response. Any IU fan knows other than you. 
 

Dusty banners??? Arkansas one title ONE compared to five. And that was in 1994.

why would you ignore a final four run? Arkansas has been to the tourney less in the last 20 years also but please carry on haha 

plus Eddie Sutton was a cheater so I’m glad you embrace his success.

He said a few weeks ago they got a lot of heat from IU fans saying they were PU homers.  Those fans still thought when we were 12-14 that they should have still had IU in the bracket.

well, there's as*hole fans and delusional fans and some are both...

The more rumors that come out, the harder it is for me to believe that they’re all just fabrications. Especially when you combine them with my complete lack of faith in the IU administration. When was the last time we heard a rumor that didn’t make us want to barf? These week we’ve heard that Cheaney, Woodson, and Moser are candidates. We’ve heard that Scott Drew and Chris Beard are both interested in the job, but that Dolson isn’t interested in either of them. We’ve heard that Matta took the job but then failed his physical. And now we’ve heard that Dolson reached out to Holtmann. All while half our team entered the transfer portal. The job search looks like a circus, and Dolson is the ringleader.

I mean if we want to get down to the current state of things.. 

Arkansas has a better arena, a better basketball practice facility, and a better team. Easier conference to win. If Mussleman wants to return to the NBA then he should stay at Arkansas. He is about to get paid big time at Arkansas.

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

Cronin had made 9 straight tournament appearances, and has a better resume than a lot of the names being discussed. Cronin would be something like 5th best out of the legitimate candidates people are discussing (after Oats, Beard, Muss, Drew). He might be lower than 5th on my preference list due to style of play, but he was a solid hire for UCLA, light years ahead of Moser

Boys just agree to disagree.   This is going nowhere and needs to be shut down.   Back to new coach news and be done with the program A is better then program B

One season better since 1996 and it’s a better job? Thats laughable 

 

sorry back on topic I won’t respond anymore.

The only thing I know for fact at this point is that dolson said on his PR that you will not hear from me until I introduce the new coach and I hope you respect that. And my goodness was he not kidding. So much random talk and rumors by message boards, local and National media, contradictory stories and reports. NO ONE KNOWS ANYTHING

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

Goodman said that IU “zeroed in on Holtmann”.  So zeroed in that Dolson wasn’t involved?

I think social media has made it to hard to be a sports fan.  I should no better than keep coming on these boards but I keep torturing  myself.  I think once the coaching search is over it is time for a vacation from social media.

My source told me a few hours ago that the "Holtmann" news was not real. I then told another poster here in a PM the same over an hour before Rabby tweeted it. 

I know some doubt my "sources". Just trying to take away some of that doubt.

Won't try to change your take on the administration.  I look at all the rumors as evidence that Dolson has kept a tight lid on his search and the rumors are getting started because Goodman, Doyel, etc., want to be able to claim they broke the news first and citing unidentified sources is a way to do that.  So we'll agree to disagree.

[IU Prof]

Doyle has reported that Dolson is using back channels to contact candidates so that he maintains plausible deniability. Goodman said IU zeroed in on Holtmann, Rabjohns said Dolson didn't talk to Holtmann. So it is entirely plausible, and perhaps even likely, that IU reached out through some intermediary, but is now trying to use the Dolson didn't talk to him line to cover its tracks.

Goodman not going down without a fight...

[OKHOOSIER]

SI picked up the Holtman stuff, I seriously can not imagine IU spending 12 million to buy him out. If we have that kind of jack for a buyout, why not offer Brad 15 million a year? The numbers seem outlandish for this to be true.
