This should go without saying obviously, but there will be no press conference tomorrow. I’ll be able to take the lid off a bit later in the week. But will say this, anybody providing details right no

I’ve had several PM’s so wanted to drop a quick line to the broader board. Love this group and fully intend to continue to contribute to the community, Im not going anywhere. (Sorry to a few of you) B

So I couldn’t get much from him unfortunately. But, to me that’s a good thing. There’s been pretty much zero chatter, nor leaks for a month about coaches. He said it doesn’t matter that the season is

Tyme sure seems to think it will be Cronin.  His comparison to Jay Wright at this point in their careers really isn’t far off.

Remember he comes from the Woodson and players' side of things. Not the administration. Doesn't mean he's wrong just adding some perspective

Not sure about that.  It has been noted that Crean allegedly did not get along with Indiana high school coaches.  And he offered scholarships to anyone that made eye contact.  Quite the salesman, yes.  At some point we all realized that he did have that gift...the gift to oversell/overhype.  He worked very hard but really didn't come across as good with X's and O's as Sampson or Knight.  Defense was hard for him to get his arms around or across to the players.  

Keep him away from the recruiting.  Not sure if boosters would love it.

I lived in Wisconsin and researched him way back when.  While he and Wade were brilliant together at Marquette....I believe that was on Wade not Crean.  And then some really bristled up there about his bait and switch on recruits.  He also is a little to quirky...but who isn't?  Zeller choosing IU saved Crean's job for years.  

Obviously, others felt differently.  

Actually good point, you are correct the HS coaches couldn't stand him. Surprised I forgot about that.

....sitting at my HS classroom desk drinking my coffee and wondering why we didn't have a 2 hour delay. 

Topic.... Brad Stevens or Dusty May,....

We ended up cancelling here -- e-learning.  Schools were a mixture of cancelled, two hour delays, and going at regular time.  Temperature was two below with wind chill of 18 below when kids would have been getting on buses....right at the point where schools start making a decision about what to do.

@Chris007 I know last year you seemed to have some insight into Dusty’s situation, do you have any feeling one way or another if we were to aggressively pursue him what he would do?

I've talked to some family and some family friends but have not gotten any read whatsoever. Knowing Dusty pretty well many years ago, I think he would listen. I think he is torn that he feels loyal to Michigan working there, but also loves IU and Bloomington

I'm opening a bar if that happens. BTBB&G B-Town Bar & Grill

You will get some investors, that’s for sure.  If you have a section that’s a cigar and wine bar, Woodson and his entourage will come, lol!
