Brad F’n Stevens give him $15m/yr.  Turn that down.  We are Hoosiers!

I like May and McDermott

Dusty big time and I do think McDermott has proven himself well at Creighton — I can’t bring myself to call him old since he’s just a few years older than me….

McCollum is the guy who’d get me the most amped. I’m probably in the minority on that, but if they go get him, check back with me in 2 years on how you feel about the hire. 

I have PTSD from Archie about hiring the “up and comer”

Vegas taking odds on the coaching search?

If the rumor that Few reached out to IU is true he has to rocket to the top of the board.

Seems like there are a few posters who need to get different sources or admit it’s a troll…6month ban for misinformation

So if they end up being right, a 6 month ban for those that are drilling them right now?

Just got off the phone. This sounds like a smokescreen. Still anticipate stevens signing after this weekend

Doubtful.  Actual media people who cover IU are finding out he is a clear “no.”

[Scotty R]

The only sliver of hope when it comes to Stevens would be that he didn't really say anything about the IU job. Also Nic Daban was more blunt about the Alabama job and still took it.

Saying that I would be happy with most of the candidates mentioned on her and only be disappointed if it got down to the Moser or Brownell types of coaches

Darian DeVries and Mark Byington have to be ahead in line, they are proving they can win in a power conference.

Well, at least baseball started today

Archie’s average at Dayton was like in the 50ish range of KenPom….which is kinda where Dayton usually is. He didn’t make them much different from their baseline.  In retrospect, people overvalued him because of one tournament run. He just flat out wasn’t that good at Dayton. 
 

McCollum? This is a dude who absolutely dominated his level of basketball the likes of which is almost never seen at any level. And he’s doing incredibly well at Drake. The guy clearly just flat out knows ball. You can’t win this much for this long and not know your ****. And at IU, he doesn’t have to worry about recruiting in the NIL era. 
 

McCollum NEEDS to be the guy.

Anyone attacking insiders or discrediting them should get the ban hammer. There has been enough credible info stating there was at the very least rumors. If so they are all clear imo.

I’ll say this, while I don’t think Dolson will be able to pull May from UM, if he somehow does just imagine the vibe. I mean everyone would be behind that hire, a knock it out of the park home run, the excitement would be back, and the conference contention and tournament runs would follow. Talk about bringing back IU basketball— we’d be doing cartwheels here

To be also realistic, the last time there was an opening here Indiana landed on Mike Woodson. That doesn’t give me much hope for interests from big fish.

Bo Ryan was an older guy when he went to Wisconsin…he did pretty well! I’d settle for 10-12 year guy with the coaching ability of McDermott!
