I’m going to choose to believe that’s false/fake

I’m with you.  Anytime I see Brownell as  a serious candidate I tell myself 

I’m sure I would get behind him like I have every coach including a coach that had 0 college basketball coaching experience when hired 

[Unexpectedflash 1,249]

I think Cronin is a fine coach and would probably have us competing in the top 5 of the conference every year. But i don’t think most people would be happy making him a top 5 or whatever coach to get him to leave ucla

I do not blame you for taking a break from this.  I don't bother with commenting on other people's rumors and beliefs.  It just seems to antagonize them.

It takes two to fight.

If it costs you your peace, then it is too expensive.

Never take criticism from someone that you would not take advice from.

Everyone knows about rumors.

And some people just do not exhibit critical thinking. 

Good luck.  

Come back when the hurricane of rumors is passed.

Before I retired, I was involved in high level negotiations at my company for personnel decisions. It was nothing like the money/position we are talking about here, and nothing ever leaked on our end until it was done. The biggest red flag to the update are the actual details. What moron who knew them would talk? But, some people are addicted to hopium. 

With contract negotiations that have high eye appeal, there’s always someone that talks. Just so many people who try to pry. Reporters, fans, alumni, former players, kids at school who know someone who’s parent is in the heat of it.  Happened with Duke and UNC vacancies  and with my friends who worked the Soto contract I was told that the manager’s son went on tik tok and was first to leak actual numbers.

 I’m not saying it’s true but I would imagine that march 2 would be the time I would love for it to be released. Gives Brad time to settle things in Boston and from our end it’s also prior to march madness so we get the publicity and also give announcers at march madness opportunities to bring us up which increases our nil funding through donations. Just my thought process.

Not counting this season, Mick Cronin has made it past the Sweet 16 exactly ONCE in 21 years of coaching.

Factor that piece of information into whether you're okay with him as a candidate for the job

Top 5 post. Incredible. I was going to say the same thing 

 

That's how I feel.about Cronin. 

Agree and understand. I think he’s better than Brownell, but not excited if Cronin gets it. At the very least though we should be looking at a tournament birth with Cronin.

Then they have too many people involved in the details or the people involved are shitty at their job.  Maybe it’s because it’s a public entity that so many people need to be involved but it’s one thing for it to leak that so and so is a top candidate. It’s another thing for details about pay and timing to leak. People should be fired if the details are true. Or, people are hearing what they want to hear.

I would get behind him too, even though it will be very hard. I watch a lot less IU hoops that I ever have, and doubt that would change much if Brownell is coach. Part of it is kids sports schedules, and the other part is lack of enthusiasm for the program. 
 

Would rather get stuff done around the house than spend 2 hours watching frustrating basketball lol. I still try to watch games, but it’s not must see basketball like is used to be.

I’m with you. It’s embarrassing and a bad joke that this many people believe any of this crap and that so many are willing to parse words of an obviously “not interested” statement to delude themselves into believing what their fragile egos want them to believe. No wonder we can’t have nice things as a program.  Good bye and good luck.

Well, if Cronin gives birth in the tournament, that would definitely be newsworthy.

I just can’t see Cronin because of his buyout. Unless there is a way to reduce it.

And I also can't see Oats or Pearl leaving their current situations.  The established coaches are longshots imo.  It doesn't mean you don't ask, but as fans we probably need to temper our expectations.  Otzelberger would have a better chance to win an NCAA Championship at IU than at Iowa State, but is it enough for him to leave a comfortable situation?  I think we are looking at a May, McCasland, or McCollum unless Dolson pulls a rabbit out of his hat.

Are you proud of yourself?

The program you are invested in hired a coach with 0 college basketball coaching experience the last time.  Are there better options than Cronin? Yep.  All day everyday.   Would he be an upgrade for a program with 1 winning conference record in the last 9 years? Yep.  All day everyday.

I couldn't care less if you anyone found out about that post because I posted pretty much the same thing in this board yesterday 

 

So you want forgiveness for being an @$$ on multiple boards?

[croneleoni 229]

Morning everyone. Just wanted to give an update. I know we all have heard a lot of bs recently so I want to make it clear that I am not guaranteeing anything. 
last night there was a shift. People in my circle and people I hear things from went from confusion to all thinking a deal is in place with an announcement in march. Sometime after the regular season, maybe before the big ten tournament but probably before the ncaa tourney. 
 
im starting to think that I jumped the gun on Friday and got a little excited and starting saying we were further along than we were, and that’s on me. If you think about it logically, why would IU announce the next head coach when ours is still coaching? Especially with how nasty woody is being behind the scenes. I do think the Goodman post was intentional to keep noise down because we have a ways to go, again i refer to nick saban saying he will never be the coach of Alabama 13 days before it was announced the coach of Alabama. Obviously if he hasn’t signed yet he could back out at anytime. 
 
if you think I am full of it I understand, I don’t claim to be an insider, I just share things I hear from people who are usually accurate on what they say, but this is where I stand. Go Hoosiers! 

Personally, I have some hope for Stevens until there are other reports of us reaching out to other candidates. If that starts, people will start reporting it.

Ah, trolls getting all butthurt. If you think this is a cult, why are you here? No one needs a  white knight troll. And Scotty went to another board, lied his @$$ off for brownie points, got caught and is acting like the hero. GTFO with that crap.
