I like him, but I’m sure he is reading off message boards 

He’s had stuff way before any of the forums did, you can check

This is his 1st year in D1, not convinced.  We can’t afford to hire a guy who’s only had less than 1 year D1 coaching experience.  NO!!!

He definitely wouldn't be one of my top choices but I wouldn't be upset with the hire either. Like I said earlier OSU football hired a coach from Youngstown State and he won them a championship. I think if you proven you are a winner no matter the level that usually translates to the next level. I am talking consistently winning and not making one great run in the tournament

Dude, that would suck big time!  

I am more about substance over glitz and glamour. Also Crean ran a fun style of offense but no defense and people complained.

And the new kid comes in with a strong post.  Glad to have you on board.  Posts like that and we'll let you stick around for another day or two.  lol

lol. I’ve been on peegs for a while and just learned this place existed. I share what I hear. I’m not sure who the coach will be but Stevens is possible.

If we win I guarantee you will be awake. You think UW or VA fans fell asleep when they played in the championship game.

Our fans will never be happy with any style because Crean had a fun style of offense with up tempo and 3 points shooting. People complained because we turned the ball over and didn't play defense

Not only that, but Drake was killing it before he got there. What if he's there in 3 years and looks worse? Just too risky right now.

Mute issue  he’s not going to be here.

It looks like Brad picked up Scott in Bloomington and now they're heading to Jackson Hole, WY. Good place to get away and hammer out a good contract.

He didn't have very many players when he got to Drake so he pretty much put their roster together. He is winning a very good conference with saying 4 players from D2 and one from a juco.

Drake somehow takes less 3s than us. Unfair or not after 8 years of Archie and Woodson not valuing the most important shot in basketball I’d be bummed to hire another person that doesn’t play modern basketball

I have hardly listened to Brad Stevens speak... if you don't want to get your hopes up for him, I advise you not to watch this video. 

Wish I could embed...

Here ya go.

Edit: See you got it. Never mind.

If I’m taking a shot on a mid major it’d be Bucky. At least i have a shot at the next oats with him

Good point, but I will leave it up to Scott Dolson to make that decision and I will support what that decision will be!

Risky is the correct word and Dolson needs to knock this hire out of the freaking park and McCollum doesn’t do that.  We have already been set back 8 + years since Crean, we can’t afford 4 more years of mediocre, we will lose too many fans and supporters, IMO
