Sounds reasonable to me. In the last few days, Dolson has scheduled games, spoken to AAU coaches, and talked about hiring a couple of GM positions. Boy he has really thought of a lot since retiring Woodson

Pretty impressive of him to be so prepared after Woody shocked everyone with his retirement announcement out of left field.

The consequences of people clamoring for Stevens on a message board or calling it completely unrealistic are equally nonexistent. Let’s all take a deep breath and take solace in the fact we will have a real CBB coach next season.

Does anybody know how to perform an exorcism?

Sorry, gave up exorcizing once I got married.

I know right? No way that guy had time to fly to Miami also.

You have to. This can't go on forever.

Exactly! I’d be surprised if Dusty signs his extension before those two weeks which is also probably why they gave him two weeks to decide

Yes, I live my life not believing every rumor I hear from anonymous sources on the internet. It hasn’t hurt me yet. This is an exact repeat of four years ago. If it ends differently and we actually get Brad Stevens? Great! We’ll all be happy. But if it ends the same way, hopefully that’ll be the end to the Stevens rumors and people can finally move on. 

If I believe in it and it doesn't happen, what exactly did I lose?  Again, I'M MARRIED.  You think I'm not used to things turning out differently?

OK Folks!  We have a winner!!!

(I was trying to think of a good pun as a comeback, and you nailed it.  Envious.  Well played.)

Not bad for a guy who has been running around all year with no idea and no plan.

Video taped meeting of Woodson announcing his retirement to Dolson.

Exorcize . . . I thought he said, "Extra Fries" and I was all in.

[HoosierInParadise]

Did anyone put an Apple Airtag on BS or his wife yesterday at the meeting in Miami so you could track their every move from here on out? I mean seriously....geez.

How many times did either one finish dead last in tempo? 

I'm not saying he can't be successful, and honestly in the age of NIL the recruiting aspect of it probably matters less. I just think the deck will be stacked against him.

He had a bunch at the bottom. I’m not looking them all up but the first team I saw was actually slower than Drake is this year. 
 

Most of this board—myself included—couldn’t tell the difference between a 200th paced team and the 350th just by watching. You’d need the kenpom sheet in front of you. That goes for recruits too.  Watching good, efficient basketball is much more rewarding to me, at any pace, than watching teams push tempo just for tempos sake. 
 

It’s nearly a non-factor. I’d take Jay Wright or Tony Bennett or a young Bo Ryan in a heartbeat. Those guys won a ton and put plenty of guys in the pros. Odds are high that our next hire won’t be as good as those guys.  
 

I’m agnostic on McCollum since I haven’t seen Drake play. I’d prefer a more proven coach, though.

It's an "e-learning" day for me so hoping some serious tea spillage and fun on this board today...( because I NEVER check when I'm actually at school)... um...yeah

Well, believing that we were getting Brad Stevens last time and then seeing the “Mike Woodson has been hired as the next IU basketball coach” notification was as big a gut punch as you can get for something like this. If I don’t believe it this time around then the gut punch won’t be as bad.
