There was only the domestic violence in which the charges were dropped.  Now I don’t know exactly what happened and I guess most on here don’t know either.  There are always 2 sides to every story and I know Beard can coach and I think we should leave it up to Dolson and others to do their due diligence to determine if Beard could work or not.  Let’s let him decide!

For me, I don't really worry about the charge. People make mistakes and hopefully Beard learned his lesson the hard way; he lost his dream job at his alma mater. I think if anything similar happens to him in the future, he'd probably and hopefully walk away from the scene. With that said, the thing I worry more about is his alleged drinking problem.

I’ve been swayed tonight I want Stevens, Stevens, May, and the McCollum. He can coach, just give him our NIL and he’ll be fine.

What else is there about Beard besides what happened while at Texas?  Others have alluded to it and say there are other skeletons in the closet.  I’m not doubting it, but genuinely curious. 

Alcohol. It's been said he has a problem with alcohol. I know there's at least 1 video out there of him smashed and just rambling.

Also, he better hope that anyone vetting him doesn't talk to his ex-girlfriends and their family and friends. The chances the first time he ever hit a women he ended up biting and strangling her, hurting her enough that he got felony charges are slim to none.

Yeah all this 2nd and 3rd talk is ridiculous. We all know who the next coach is going to be.

You ever been to Holland?

Yes, many times. I have a lake house near there. You? The reason I asked is that the Twitter handle that is posting all the info on the IU coaching situation is based in Holland, MI. 

[go iu bb 7,286]

I hope we don't hire McCollum because I call him McGollum in my head and think he kind of looks like Gollum. I don't know if I can deal with that with him as the head coach.

It's not fair, i know, but it is what it is.

But I also don't like the sound of his system. Sounds slow and boring.

About Ben McCollum, I listened to Kent Sterling recently and he mentioned about McCollum and his offensive style being painfully slow...similar to Tony Bennett level of pace. I didn't know much about McCollum's style so I was a bit surprised to hear that. We all know winning cures everything, but would you think IU's fanbase be ok with such style?

Got it. Yes, I live on a lake in NE Indiana and have been to Holland. Lots of great wineries in the area that we have visited

McCollum plays pretty basketball but it's slow pace. They will go deep in the clock on every on possession.

The more I think about this the more I want Beard. We're not hiring someone to teach a moral and ethics class. We're hiring someone to win basketball games. If he can keep his nose clean then it'll be 20 years of excellence. Imagine this time-line: we hire Dusty and in turn UM hires Beard. In the next 5 years IU continues to struggle and May is on the hot seat meanwhile UM has a final 4 and another 2nd weekend trip. 

I think Beard can do amazing things here but let’s say he gets off to a good start then sometime in year 2 he has a similar drunken event that embarrasses IU.  He gets fired and if it is bad enough it might take Dolson out too. And/or IU’s embarrassment causes them go very conservative on the next hire in attempts to again deemphasize basketball.

If I am dolson I don’t take that chance unless I strike out on most others and am down to bigger risks.
