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 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. 

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.

we have been irrelevant for quite some time.  if becoming relevant means hiring Cronin(which some think is a boring hire) and we settle for yearly tourney appearances, sprinkling in runs to the sweet 16s and sometimes further, by all means sign me up.  We have not had this type of success in quite some time. If you think otherwise, you are blind.  Rome was not built overnight.

 

He wins, google him(no shot at Cig here).  With how NIL in constructed, when/if he is the coach and he gets IU back to winning(winning cures alot) those kids leaving Indiana to go elsewhere will want to come to IU and play.  I am looking at you Mullins here. 

 

Yes, I want more banners on the wall. But let's be honest, how many posters here actually saw the last title that IU won?  Not me, I was boring in 1990.  Get this team back to constant tourney runs, big ten champions, etc and let the rest fall into place.

And **** yes I am. Have daughters. Do you?

 

Also, I’ve said my peace. Won’t sabotage the thread any longer. 

You're putting a lot of assumptions out there.  Sounds a little sexist to me.

I get what you’re saying, but like you said all things being equal I think we need to get somebody in here that has plenty of energy and excitement to build a program in the right way and not just rely on NIL.  I just think for the long haul and to get somebody that’s gonna be here for a considerable amount of time there are options of younger coaches out there that I think would fit the bill and be better than getting a coach for 5 to 7 years and then have to re-hire again. 

Many of us thought that about Archie. He was a bust.

That is a terrible contract. 
 

I don’t follow recruiting much anymore, so if he has a good class coming in I can see that buying him a year. With Guthridge, iirc, it was clear he was the type of assistant who never recruited and they had nobody coming in. His “retirement “ was swift and painless. He also wasn’t a liked former player like Hubert. I would bet that if you polled UNCs fans half are ready to move on, especially the younger ones.
 

Missing the tourney 2/4 years is just unacceptable at UNC. Doherty is literally the only one to do it in the modern era and we know what happened to him.

Might be an interesting story to follow from the perspective of gauging how long a program icon can maintain major influence. He was Roy’s guy and he goes to every game clearly as a show of support.

Can’t say that I’m out on Cronin after last night’s comments…

 

 

 

Because I was never in. I tried telling you guys this is how he acts when things don’t go his way!

Yup. People get immersed in X’s & O’s because they’re sexier, but jobs like this are about wiring and temperament.

Well, to me, they did. 

Kelsey didn't coach a game in a P4 conference and Pope has 0 NCAA tournament wins. They did not.

Whining about 7500 fans booing in their almost 14,000 seat gym lol. Brother, a sparse crowd at Assembly is roughly Pauley’s capacity. You’re not built for IU.
