I've had this in the back of my mind the entire time. We all want an established head coach with a winning track record. So did Louisville and Kentucky. I think it's important to keep an open mind.

True

All good! No images of her are public. Bite marks, abrasions, and stated he choked her from behind. From behind means she was running from him. And that’s just the public incident. 
Charges dropped because she didn’t want him to lose his job or go to jail. He was going to get up to 10 years in Texas. 

Ok, tks

Cronin would be such a bad cultural fit. Also do we really want a coach that has had a happy fanbase upon their departure?

I will say we would have to get 15 names down the list before Beard is a candidate

Every 4-5 days the Beard topic comes up.  It's like clockwork.

He's got another 3-4 weeks before the pressure starts. He's chilling at the BT-SEC athletic directors meeting this week with all the other AD's

[IUrocker 2,435]

I just wonder if there could be a scenario where Dolson already had Dusty May lined up for the job last year but then Buckner insisted Woodson get a 4th year. Woodson gets a bunch of money to try to make it a good year and turn it around, doesn’t happen, so Dolson gets to pull the plug. Dolson tells Dusty to pretty much hang tight, he takes the Michigan job and makes the buyout low so he can easily leave, then once Woodson is actually done, Dusty gets to move in. If it’s been said that Dolson “has his guy” then that could mean it was Dusty knowing he’s getting the job the whole time. 
 

obviously just brainstorming, and IF it does indeed end up being Dusty, would make me wonder if that’s how it happened.

"Indiana hires failed UCLA coach" is very on brand for us.

Agree. He wins to much for the culture at IU.

Looked spectacular last night.  Only lost to the powerhouse Minnesota by 3, at home, and scored a whole 61.

This has to be comedy.  Not funny.

After last nights loss
 
Mick Cronin: "All we're worried about is our shooting, ... Our crowd's mind is on the wrong stuff. They make it worse. The stress in Pauley is crazy. How about help the guy, cheer for the guy? He's not trying to miss the free throw. Everyone's mind is on the wrong stuff."
 
Sounds like he’d handle our fan base really well…

That eliminates him imo

I know you’re just brainstorming and speculating, but in a scenario where Dusty knew the IU job would be open in one more year (everyone could see that was likely) him taking the Michigan job at all, even with the lower buyout, makes me think he’s not coming to IU. I see very little reason for him to move after 1 year unless it’s that important to him to be so close to family that he can see them every day if he wants. Maybe he does. Think he’d be a great hire. Just wish the timing worked out last cycle. Hoping we didn’t miss the boat, but think we did.
