That is only until we board the Brownell train later this afternoon (unwillingly of course).

Back state side. Andddddd there’s chaos. Fellas we are getting Brad. Goodmans comment is nothing. Sit back and relax. 

I do agree that the Goodman quote was a nothing burger. Brad never said he wasn't a candidate. All he said was he's happy being a Celtic.  

Stevens maybe released a statement to help calm the smoke. We'll land Brad once Mike Woodson and the team lose in the B1G Tourney.

....I will say most of us had his back, including myself. There were only a few that were being complete A$$'$ about it.

I agree there were those who definitely were complete A$$’$ and one in particular was a GIANT one!

Interesting Star article just dropped…two biggest takeaways…1) Parroting the talking point that this was Woodson’s decision to step down (absurd)

2) This paragraph…That date is not hard and fast in Dolson’s thinking. If he believes the right candidate requires IU to wait, he likely will. But the faster Indiana can move, the more time it will give its next coach to assemble a roster of his own liking with the maximum possible resources backing him. 

The right candidate to wait? Why bring this up at all? If it’s a current coach that’s going to justify whacking your coach midseason of course they’re going to have to wait. At least, most likely until mid/late March after their tourney run. Why write that paragraph at all? All current coaches are going to have roughly the same amount of time to assemble a roster. 
 

Unless…

Still a path where they don’t even make the B1G tourney.

It is a blast spending time reading through posts on this board.  I can only imagine the twists and turns these things take as parties attempt to reach an agreement and finalize details of a new coaching contract.  It is truly not impossible to recognize how a coaching candidate could be "in the bag one minute" and "a masshole" the next.  Would you confide in your current employer before locking in with your future employer?  If you chose to stay with your current employer, would you even reveal your prior interest with the other?  Regardless of any level of connection to either side, the information "insiders" receive will always have a level of doubt until it is final.

An IU fan forum is exactly that; a forum for fanatics.  We should all be a little more fanatical these days as our desire to have a new coach at IU is being addressed. Let's enjoy the ride and have faith that Scott will drastically update the IU basketball program.

So, if you teach nothing, emphasizes entitlement, and tolerate poor play?

Less Woody talk and more general coaching search news please and thank you

Sounds like the recipe for a hump.
