Way back when Mark Turgeon was at Wichita State he was a darkhorse candidate of mine. I felt somewhat vindicated that he kept rising up but once he got to Maryland he did not seem to reach that top tier of coaches.  His results at Maryland during a time when the BT was pretty strong were not bad.  Would hope for more of a splash but this is intriguing

Dolson did us a disservice by firing Woodson too early. Now we have 3-6 weeks before we find out our head coach. Now what are we suppose to complain about the next several weeks!

 

I disagree. It's comforting knowing that Woodson won't be given another year

Also, Eric had a blurb earlier along the lines of someone within IU circles reached out saying there was a verbal from the trustees. He replied you spoke with a trustee and he said no but person x did and they’re close with person y. 

Feel like I walked in on the middle of a conversation but am missing the first half or who you are responding to

TURGEON?!?!?! Where the flying heck did he come from in this search. Not a name I have heard in forever.

I didn't understand any of that either but when it mentioned Eric I stopped reading.

Chris can you please slip a note under Dolson's office door letting him know Mark Turgeon is leaking information, and he should not be trusted.

Another newbie who is one degree of Keven Bacon away from him.

Obviously not going into specifics but it would be REALLY weird if they were exploring like they’re exploring and had someone they considered a likely hire right now

More precise language

I'm guessing we'll have one day where we get a good 30-40 pages 

I don't know if you are just stating your opinion or you are dropping hints in your comments, but I feel like I'm picking up what you're putting down. Ya feel me, Smalls?

I don't like to bother Scott very often but in this case it might not be a bad idea.

If IU was even slightly considering mark turgeon (they arent), they should just go ahead and keep woodson

That does sound really weird

So you are saying they are courting more than one person? Rabby has said they have reached out to at least 10 agents of coaches

So you have knowledge into how IU is conducting its search when you say things like “exploring like they’re exploring … right now”? And you have 1 degree of separation from Turgeon? What’s your take on if IU hired Turgeon?

If we have to go that far down the list I’m very concerned.

I'm sure they have cast a wide net, if for any other reason to make it appear like they did due diligence

30K foot interpretation 

IU is conversing with Brad and his associates, but lower-key fact-finding is also in the works with a few other candidates. 

Perhaps we've gotten a little too ahead of ourselves as a fan base with how far along the conversations are with Brad.
