My take on this is one of my sons best friends is one of the beat writers for IUBB for the media school. He is close with Goodman’s daughter. He was throwing are that it was a done deal is group chats and snap chats. Talia probably took that and asked her dad if it was true. Jeff then asked Brad and that statement came out. JMO

Tell that young man to not get out over his skis next time unless he wants to be the next Justin Albers.

I don’t think the board is imploding. I think the consensus is that Brad brownell would be a very disappointing hire if it happened.

At least we can all agree on some candidates that belong on the bottom of the list or not on it at all.

Never gonna happen in Bloomington in a million years, but some AD who’s secure in his position and doesn’t care about winning the presser, maybe 1 of the 2 Florida schools, is gonna take Shaheen Holloway out of that Seton Hall NIL hellscape and in 2 or 3 years is gonna look pretty freaking smart. I know it’s his alma mater, but he’s a really good coach and that’s a really bad deal and he’s not going to stay there and get his brains beat in for 15 years because they have no money. 

I like Holloway. Also Claxton fwiw

I’m trying to picture a scenario where two former Indiana basketball student managers sit down, one offers the other the HC job and he says no thanks I’d rather stay at Michigan. I guess anything can happen.

Hova, is that you?

No, but I lived in Illinois for a portion of my life and didn't enjoy their fanbase.

Good stuff and my bad.  I know Hovadipo really despises the orange as well. I should have properly typed out his name.

As a guy that watches ACC basketball Clemson is on the short list of teams that I don’t want to play. Brownell is doing pretty good at a shithole program like Clemson. However, I agree with most it’s just not the hire that needs to be made.

So now this board is going to Implode because one  guy who has been wrong so many times says something about Brownell. Some of you are so gullible and wanting info you will believe anything. I can promise you that Dolson isn't going around telling everybody around campus what his plans are. SMH!!!!!

I dont see anybody imploding, just  bunch of people who hate Brad Brownell. I read what Chris said as it was just a guess from whoever that person was.  Not that Scott Dolson said anything about hiring Brad Brownell specifcally.  It could have been something like "these are different types of guys I'm looking at: guy who has a lot of experience at a P5 school; Brad Brownell, Buzz Williams. Guys who have had success but not at the highest level; Ben McCollum, etc.  

As an official member of the Brad Brownell hate club, I am forced to overreact whenever his name is mentioned.

I don’t know about the AAU call. This is a board of former IU athletes that Dolson had to meet with every other week to discuss hirings. Just like the woman’s soccer coach last week. He doesn’t need their approval but he does have to discuss the process with them. Do I believe he’s giving them specific information? No I don’t. 

I wonder if it just means Barnwell is on his list of candidates and if others say no and it gets to him then that’s when he would be hired

I like Clemson in the short term because they beat Duke not too long ago which gave me a little burst of joy, otherwise I'm ambivalent on them lol

If you had a choice between Brad Brownell or Beard with baggage, I can't imagine you don't take Beard with baggage...

I would take Brownell over Beard

That would be such a buzzkill.

We're all happier than a camel on Wednesday (note the hump reference) that you're here to set us gullibles straight!

Thanks for sharing Chris. You are only relaying what you hear. IMO Brad Brownell doesn’t seem like someone who is in Dolson’s/IU’s league. It just sounds like big turd. ;)

I just hope in this situation more smokescreens, even coming from boosters to get everyone off Steven’s trail.

The last 25 years should've taught us not to underestimate IU's ability to IU.

And no I don't think Brownell is actually a candidate, but someone equally disappointing wouldn't be surprising.
