Magnanimous Posted February 15 Posted February 15 15 hours ago, Unexpectedflash said: I mean 3 out of the last 4 years making the tourney. I understand but McCollum is not the slam dunk people are making him out to be The only slam dunk hire IU has made in the last 130 years was the second time Branch McCracken was our coach. No one is saying McCollum is a slam dunk, but I think he’s a unique coaching talent within the “up and comer” crowd of the last 10 years. And it sounds like folks’ biggest concern is his ability to handle the stage, not his basketball acumen… I want the best coach, and I have yet to see anything indicating he shouldn’t have that argument made in his favor. He runs a very efficient offense and his teams grind on defense. Will he start landing Cooper Flaggs with that type of play? Maybe not, but he will bring in talent here and also make the most out of the players who will actually stay 2-4 years and who are the types of players that win championships for other programs, yet our previous coaches cause to plateau in year two…(e.g., Robert Johnson, Armann Franklin type players) Ryno6284 1
Josh Posted February 15 Posted February 15 I know so many insiders said that Quinn Buckner forced Woody on Dolson, but they also said that Stevens was happening. I believe nothing about the Quinn story too. Dolson hired Woody. He better get this one right or he's done in my eyes Mopladysman, Pryght, cybergates and 1 other 3 1
Jet812 Posted February 15 Posted February 15 1 minute ago, mdiu28 said: I trust Scott and hope he has the full reigns but none of this makes sense. To pushing Woody out midseason, JerryYeagley confidently saying Scott has his man from the very beginning and sticking to it, to Trilly confirming Scott spoke with AAU coaches yesterday and mentioned a non-college coach as his priority, to today. Doesn't make sense. Unless it’s another miscalculation from Dolson. Happened last time, allegedly. Other possibility is Dolson rounding up money, getting approval, telling people “I think we can get him”, “we’re flying to meet & give him an offer”, etc. & by the time it makes it to folks like JY, Chris, RTZ etc, it’s morphed into “all but a done deal”.

It was always a long shot. Everyone knew that. Being gleeful that people who got their hopes up and are disappointed is weird - this is a message board for fanatics who are gonna have all sorts of opinions / hopes you find silly. The discourse on this message board is completely meaningless. I’m glad we can all move onto discussing real candidates now. Sorry you guys had to put up with people being slightly hopeful even if naive for a few days lol. IUFAN1976, jimsorgi, go iu bb and 4 others 7

You think Scott picked the zero college experience failed NBA coach? Or did Quinn pick his best friend who needed a job? Pretty obvious what happened.

Let's not forget! I believe McCollum teaches the same basketball that RMK did.

In the end this board is for fun. Look at some of the posters for christ sake! Kathy the board member lol.
