just goes to show you how a lot of these people on these boards who claim to be insiders are not. They just make good guesses sometimes and fool a lot of people.

That has always been the case.  The real insiders don't post on boards like this.  It would cost them way too much.  I am sure there are some that post that "know" some people, but even then the knowledge is limited.

Now retain Kenya on staff and go after some recruiting killers. I’m in on the hire. NBA is what sells to these recruits, let’s go

To this point SD has kept an airtight lid on the search. Why would a leak come out at this point? I’m ok with Woodson but I find it really hard to believe that this is legit. I really don’t think any of the National pundits know wtf they are talking about but rather are trying to rile us up for their own recognition. Keep throwing names against the wall and eventually one will stick and they’ll call themselves experts for getting it right. Seems ridiculous to me.

IDK. Nothing seems strange to me. They've been kicking the tires on several folks. Perhaps they just finally made the decision. And if so, then they would naturally have to bring in more people to be in the know. And when you start expanding the circle, leaks happen. And a lot of leaks are planned/purposeful anyway on things like this.

What is so special about Kenya? I don't understand.

Good recruiter and could be key to keeping a few people from transferring from some things I’ve read

I've tried the link, and the embed.

I can’t even put words to this. I guess I’ll say, I’m not surprised.

IU is hiring former Butler and Ohio State coach Thad Matta as associate AD for men's basketball administration. Matta will assist an IU staff that will be led by new coach Mike Woodson.

Wow, is 63 yo Woodson a placeholder for a few years for a Matta disciple?

[Zachetology 282]

Somehow, there is less hope now than there was before the search.

[Bowhunter 2,694]

Will Matta be able to recruit and coach too?

Yeah I'm out for awhile

[Moye > Boozer 241]

So the NBA offense plus IU ties plus “clean hands” rules the day.

Extremely curious to see how this works. Knicks fans are sad to see him leave. They love the guy (not that that means anything).

If Muss can flame out of the NBA and find success in college maybe Woodson can.

Without breaking down their individual teams we’re talking a 43% NBA winning percentage (Muss) vs. a 46% NBA winning percentage (Woodson). 

The great news is we’ll find out about his ability to recruit IMMEDIATELY with the transfer portal.

While the farthest thing from the splash I was hoping for, I’m cautiously optimistic. 

It has worked for Muss and all his used car salesman antics. Why can’t it work for Woodson???

I kinda like knowing Matta is on staff. That oughta be a pretty good helping hand. Let’s see who else will be joining him.

Yes please 

[RaceToTheTop 26,085]

Matta as an associate AD in charge of basketball operations is a smart move.  Get someone high in the operation who knows the ins and outs.
