That was a nightmare for them

I’ve been told he was closer to taking the Louisville job than Kentucky job. Junior Bridgeman is a wealthy donor and alum there from the Region who is great friends with Drew family, and even he couldn’t persuade the wife.

This should go without saying obviously, but there will be no press conference tomorrow. I’ll be able to take the lid off a bit later in the week. But will say this, anybody providing details right no

I’ve had several PM’s so wanted to drop a quick line to the broader board. Love this group and fully intend to continue to contribute to the community, Im not going anywhere. (Sorry to a few of you) B

So I couldn’t get much from him unfortunately. But, to me that’s a good thing. There’s been pretty much zero chatter, nor leaks for a month about coaches. He said it doesn’t matter that the season is

Why?  If he is your guy then announce him as the next coach and sign the contract.  Date it the day after Woodson's last day as the coach/end of the IU season.  Doesn't make sense to wait in my opinion, but I'm not a lawyer, admin, or anyone that deals with contracts.  

Has anything like this ever happened? A new coach being signed while the current coach is still coaching games?

I disagree. My inbox is always open if this new poster wants to share sources and info. 

Private message to those with inside information they need to verify:  If the insiders mailboxes happen to be full, I am usually the backup.  So send to me and I will pass along to JY, Chris, AP or whomever.  Just don't tell the others posters who are not reading this because it was a Private Message to you.

Feels like it happens in college football occasionally when the retiring or outgoing coach still coaches the bowl game and the new coach is already on the job. Can't remember it happening in hoops, though.

BoT. I don’t think so. If Scott wants them and so does Pam the board better approve them.

I’ve wondered this for a while, is anything about having BOT this involved or controlling AD decisions remotely normal? It feels like athletic departments that are dual successful you don’t hear about board people or former board people having anything to do with the AD unless there are really weird circumstances. 
 

I am sure it happens, but it just seems like IU is unwilling to let the athletic director do their job. The board should just be saying “aye” to the things the AD wants to do.

If I am wrong I will be the first to own up to it, and this is not a guarantee, but my official prediction is Brad. I’m not just guessing, we shall see!

I’ll continue to manifest.

It’s not normal to this extent

I assume our next coach will have to use the portal his first couple of years.  Ultimately, I'd prefer our next coach build the team through high school recruiting and only bring in a portal player as needed.  I would prefer the Purdue model of just one portal player in the past three years than what Woodson was doing.  Winning is the ultimate goal, but watching the players develop year over year is fun as well.

I think that’s what we’re seeing here. Remember last time we had board members, boosters and everyone else trying to be involved. So you either have to lead them away or tell them to stay out of it. I think both is happening here.

Chances as of today. IMO.

Do you feel these numbers are significantly different than a few days ago? And if so, moved in which direction?

I can’t speak for RTZ obviously, but from the overall sense of his posts last few days, I would have figured those would have been reversed. Could just have been me taking his posts the wrong way, unless something has changed last few days, etc.

Because he’s the president of the Celtics and not the head coach of IU. Maybe because he built this team and wants to see them win back to back NBA championships. 

That makes no sense. NBA playoffs don’t start until the middle of April. If he’s taking the IU job he would be looooonnnnggg gone before seeing the Celtics win back to back championships.

I am going to go out on a limb and say that Scott Drew's version of Christianity would not preclude him from leaving a Christian school.  Would seem funny if a coach threatened to have a player deported if they didn't go to their school would draw the line at coaching at a non-Christian school.

He can be a solid Christian and still make occasional stupid decisions.  The apostle Paul who wrote much of the New Testament hunted Christians and was there watching as Stephen was stoned.

*not referring to coach in waiting Stephen Pearl - he’s a Jewish kid. (aaaannnd… presto! back on topic)
