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. 

This time around Quinn doesn’t have any pals he wants to install as head coach.  That should help us.

NIL wasn’t in place then.

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. 

I’ll be honest. I never did the research on the efficiency rating stuff of Archie’s teams before IU. I’ll take your word for it and based on the you’ve sold me on McCollum.

….my guess is a couple things.

1. Real smoke screen 

2. Chris, AP, Jerry are all trying to find out what is really happening and post some sort of news later on. (Crickets right now)

3. They have been told by their sources to “shut up” and say nothing more because things were getting out too much, too soon.

4. If 3 is true, they may be telling them to play the smokescreen card too so it doesn’t get out of hand. (Crickets right now)

5. Chris, Jerry and AP were all fed smokescreens early on to think it’s Brad and really someone else.

JMO 
GO IU!

 

I will say the silence from some of the insiders is getting palpable, now that we're ~2.5 hours post the Goodman bomb.

I hear you but think it’s also a timing issue and - realistically- a Quin B / BoT issue there. Buckner won’t be there to get his guy, that experiment failed miserably. Dolson has the keys now. I see this more similar to when Crean was hired - for what we needed then that was a good hire. We need better now, but the foundation is there.

I’m confused. Drake had a higher kenpom last year than this year. Their advanced stats are fine

How do you see that a detriment to the other candidates? Other than the hypothetical that a guy has bad feels that they wanted Brad over him there is none. And you can't honestly think that candidate that wants the job would be that butt hurt do you?

It has absolutely nothing to do with the other candidates being butthurt and everything to do with wasting time on a lost cause when he could’ve been cultivating relationships with other candidates. Last time he allegedly thought Stevens was a done deal, had no backup plan, and ended up with Mike Woodson.

Trilly said to move on to other candidates, for people who worry about him.

Yeah I just check. Drake is 61st in KenPom. I was expecting better after that endorsement from truthhurts.

That was a fun few days

I don't doubt that the "dream" is over, but ... 

The Inside the Hall and Sports Illustrated stories offer absolutely nothing new. All they do is report Goodman's tweet.

I have a different perspective on Archie Miller.  He, in fact, did get the best from his players.  They were a team.  They did not have standouts.  No prima donnas.

That is the difference from a mid major and a top P 5 team.

Archie was stuck with a bunch of me first players.

Per Wiki: 

Miller became the head coach of the Dayton Flyers men's basketball team in 2011 and turned around a program that had back-to-back disappointing seasons.^[4] His first season with Dayton saw Miller take the school to 20 wins. In his third year, 2014, he had the Flyers in the Elite Eight with 26 wins; to get there, Dayton upset three higher seeded teams. After the Elite Eight run in 2014, Miller faced replacing three starters and four seniors from that team. Despite having a depleted roster featuring just six players who were recruited to Dayton and no active player taller than 6-foot-6, Miller led his Flyers to a 27–9 overall record and to the third round of the 2015 NCAA tournament.^[2]

In the following three seasons, Miller averaged over 25 wins and each year coached the team made to the NCAA tournament. The latter two the Flyers also earned regular season Atlantic 10 champion titles.^[6] The Flyers' 78 wins in from 2013–16 matched the best three-year period in school history.^[2] Due to his coaching abilities, Miller was named a finalist for the 2015 Jim Phelan National Coach of the Year Award.

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.

What makes something credible info though? I don’t even know who some of these guys popping up are. When one comes out of nowhere swinging that Brad Stevens is coming, and then hours later Stevens comes out and says he’s not a candidate, it doesn’t paint the best picture:
