Appreciate the context. 

Dolson having to meet with an athlete board and actually give them insight into the hiring process is a glaring example of the incompetence of IU basketball the last 25 years. 

What an utter waste of Scott Dolson's time right now. 

Thought that’s why they hired a search firm?

Yep. Because other than love for IU, the unfortunate truth is there’s very little reason to move on from UM, when you’re currently in 1st place with a solid recruiting class. The leverage Dusty has over Michigan, especially with Stevens statement to Goodman, is stronger than ever. Michigan will want to close ASAP and he has no reason - on paper - to hold out just to come back to his alma mater. Now… maybe being close to family changes the equation for him. But it’s not like Ann Arbor is in Far East Asia, lol.

Yea.  There is his contract, but he can use this to get more NIL commitments too.  If he can get the attention of the right boosters UM has a crapload of money to give him.  I don’t feel too good about prying him out of there to come fix our dumpster fire.

Hey guys :)

I haven’t been on in a couple weeks.  It looks like this is the place to be lol.  Can someone provide a quick recap on where we are at or DM me?  I don’t think I can read this many pages lol.

You will need to take 2 weeks vacation and read 25 hours a day to catch up! Lol

People said Brad Stevens was a done deal yesterday, Brad then told Goldman he wasn't a candidate late afternoon yesterday, and now no one knows what to think.

Dusty may just be that smart…he may have demanded the low buyout knowing that Woodson would be gone. He can either jump to IU if he wants to, or force Michigan to extend him after only one season for a lot more money! If he’s that smart we really have to try harder to get him!

He isn't dumb....he bet on himself and won big but even if he was dumb I am betting that his agent isn't either. 

And exactly, he has all the leverage in the world now so he will get paid regardless of what Steven's allegedly told Goodman.

UM has so much money it’s not too hard for them to pony up to keep him — contract, staff $/program budget, and NIL are all going way up.  Not good.

Chris Beard was hired to coach Ole Miss for $3.25M / year, less than 3 months after being fired for cause from Texas due to his arrest for felony domestic violence. He's doing just fine without us on the "getting second chances" front.

Cool. Since he currently has a job... we can cross him off the list...

I kind of forgot about that lol.  Thank you :)

Schertz is McCollum…

+ a year at a tougher conference + three more years at D1 + modern offense.

So remind me again why Schertz isn’t the darling of the board instead of McCollum, besides that McCollum dresses better?

And remind me why a guy like Calhoun, Byington, or Gates isn’t markedly more qualified?

I generally want a younger guy so I prefer McCollum to Brownell, but McCollum is a Ray Harper style lotto ticket guy.

Brad Stevens is the guy... signed, sealed and delivered.

Nope, BS is not a candidate

Massive meltdown because the "insiders" lied or at best know nothing

100 pages of bickering over who's the best coach

Beard lovers just won't quit

This isn't meant to discredit you. Just sharing my reaction. 

I would just be very surprised if Scott Dolson told a bunch of AAU coaches on a call who he was hiring, or if he told an athlete board. 

There's no way he's talking to people like that about the search. If he is, then it's an indicator that's he not really in charge of this, which I think we all agree he is. 

Thank you. I find the insider reports here entertaining, even though I take them with a grain of salt. But "Dolson met with AAU coaches and told them he was hiring Stevens" might be the most outlandish report I've ever heard, and that's saying something.

The real question is how much are they willing to pony up compared to how much indiana is willing to pony up. 

If ius contract is bigger not only in contract but also NIL, assistants, etc then nobody would blame him if he left Michigan after 1 year. Even if they did who cares? They don't pay his bills
