Unexpectedflash Posted February 3, 2025 Posted February 3, 2025 I’d throw a 10 million dollar offer out to self. Less than 1% chance he leaves but the internet ku fans are getting antsy with him (I know they’re crazy)

He spent a year in Arkansas. lol I don't know if he'll leave, maybe not. But I think Dolson should at least try. I'd take him over May.

I think there’s probably zero shot there, but absolutely worth exploring if for no other reason than going into Houston and kicking Sampson’s a$$ in those ridiculous blue uniforms. go iu bb 1

JF87 Posted February 5, 2025 Posted February 5, 2025 Reading the various threads on a potential new coach is fun and frustrating. It's obvious why 1 person needs to be given the authority to hire a new coach because hiring by committee just doesn't work. The opinions in the various threads are great examples. Brad Stevens- Dream job, but he's an NBA guy now and not coming back to IU and college basketball Dusty May- Dream job, but he just took the Michigan job and won't leave after 1 year Bruce Pearl- Dream job, but he has his son set up to inherit the Auburn job so he won't leave Chris Beard- One of his two Dream jobs (Texas), but his personal issues in the past will keep IU from hiring him Shrewsberry- Dream job, but not proven enough and couldn't handle the spotlight Dolson just needs to find his guy and not accept no and any outside noise.

Observation: Dolson with Pam W. The reason I include her whether it’s appearance or she actually knows what she is doing or both she is around (what I have seen) the major sports programs. She just seems to understand, have that ability and she is interested and cares. Pagoda and BBTB 2

JF87 Posted February 5, 2025 Posted February 5, 2025 38 minutes ago, Alford Bailey said: Brad Stevens hasn’t coached the college game in nearly 12 years…… I have it on good authority that because the NBA has superior players the NBA coaches can coach circles around college coaches. There's nothing a college coach can do that an NBA coach can't do better. Or at least, the was the mindset when we hired Mike Woodson.
Class of '66 Old Fart Posted February 5, 2025 Posted February 5, 2025 Just making an observation. Our current coach came from the NBA and how's it working out for us? Home Jersey, AZ Hoosier and BBTB 3

I wanted him as coach before he took the Texas job. I don't see IU hiring him. Maybe there's a slim chance that IU pays for a thorough background and his girlfriend at the time says that she embellished everything. Even then, I think IU would look at several candidates first not wanting the negative reaction that would follow. If Beard was to get the job, I would speculate that Pat Knight might return as one of his assistants.

Been saying Randy Bennett for at least 10 years. Idk if you can get him out of the Bay Area now though. Seems like I saw he’s been there 24 years or something the other nignt
