You hopping on my train of keeping Drew and Mussleman away? Do you see what I’m seeing... 

Archie had to go. Lots of smoke there would be a ton of transfers. He just didn't work out. We don't know if Mike Lewis or Fife will work yet, but 100 percent Archie was not going to work. I actually like our returning players and think we have a chance at the dance next season. Had Archie stayed it would have been a last place finish in the league and no recruits.

Well, he IS available to talk now.

 

Hopefully Dolson watched his team go 5-23 from 3 and got flashbacks to the Archie era

I wonder what that donor would think if we hire Oats.  "Hey this is Scott.  I need that check for those transition costs.  It comes to about $14M. Please have it on my desk by tomorrow.  Thanks"

Mu son works for Andy Mohr so I will see if he is planning on doing this LOL!  Also I have seen where the NCAA is trying to put a limit on what the kids can earn or what they can earn the money form.  I don't think they will be ab le to make $500,000 for a commercial.  I think it will be more of doing voice overs for a radio show or having a social media site or a YouTube page.

You can make waaaaaaaayyyyyy more than $500k via your own social media handles and YouTube channel. If those things are in play, there is no reason to block a TV commercial 

[IU Scott 2,375]

Well we see why when looking at coaching candidates you can't just look at tournament success.  Two weeks ago Oregon St. was not in the tournament and had to win their conference tournament to just get into it.  Now they are one game away from going to the final four but no one would say Tinkle should be a candidate.

Where’s the Kelvin Sampson thread?

Eh depends, a player like Zion could, but 99% of players wouldn’t come close to that 

[Vauxhall and IU 317]

Early in the week we were saying how this coaching search had entered "silly season" because Woodson's name had started popping up.

It's now Saturday and we're having academic debates on whether it's wrong to steal a loaf of bread to feed your starving family. 

I trust the process and all, but I'm kinda starting to think we need to hire a coach sometime soon. Before we're all led away in straitjackets.

I'm sure the offer came with very specific discussion lol.

The first donor probably said "just fire Archie, here's 10.5"

The second was probably "if you hire xxx, yyy, or zzz, I'll pay this much"

Thank you Oregon State for (hopefully) saving us from considering Moser. 

One game won’t make a difference. That said I don’t see it. He doesn’t fit.

Metaphorically speaking or literally? ;)

I think we will know next weekend.  No inside info, just a hunch.

That would offend some of the folks that believe he's evil incarnate. 

[Loaded Chicken Sandwich 8,976]

So the Moser garbage is over now right? Not even sure why or how that began.

Zion could have made $500k a day when he was at Duke. Yes, not every player is created equally, it’s a meritocracy or popularity contest but there are definitely bigten athletes that could/will make millions

When he was hired, I want real big on him because his offense is unimaginative. But he can recruit (heh), his teams play defense and they play real hard. 
 

At this point, we’re likely to hire a worse coach anyways. Might as well give him his old parking spot back and an unlimited cell phone plan with a 812 area code. 

[HoosierTrav 8,021]

I made a comment at the beginning of the game, that Loyola’s defense was elite..... I’m not sure I can sit through that abortion of an offense though. That was a nightmare to watch. Reminded me too much of the last 4 years. Hard pass.

Roses are red.

Violets are blue.

We're schizophrenic.

And we are, too.

No one knows anything... and all of these "lock"s, "sure thing"s and "done deal"s are nothing more that speculation and click bait. We will know when Dolson tells us. Yeah, it makes us anxious, and it makes us crazy... but all we can do is trust Dolson to not screw it up.

It’s just one game of course, but it was a game in which his team reminded us all of the IU team we spent all year watching. 33% from the field and 22% from 3. Brings back too many shades of Archie ball, imo.

Wouldn't really bother me. The holier than thou crowd is another story.

He got another chance, and succeeding. I'd pay for the cell phone lol
