So far sources say.......

  • Stevens done deal
  • May done deal
  • Cronin done deal
  • Pitino Sr done deal

What does Vegas say? We need to get some scratch involved here....Maybe we make a rule that anyone who claims outwardly that they are in the know via whatever source, throws a hundo in the pot....If they turn out to be wrong, the pot goes to eliminating most of the Blue Chew and Old Lady Farting ads on the board....deal?

Looks like we fired Archie on Mar 15.  Brad Stevens says he is a "masshole" on Mar 19.  We hire Woody on Mar 28.  So that may support your theory but I just looked back at a text with a friend of mine who is Woody's relative.  This relative was prominently sitting behind the bench often, so often i would usually give him a hard time about what he wore lol.  That text was on Mar 23 and I asked if Woody was coming to IU.  He said he thought it was a done deal but some surprise "deal" with Matta came up and everyone is upset.  

So, from 3/19 to 3/23 seems to be the window here even though the deal was finalized on 3/28.  

I had forgotten part of this story from last time until Goodman's name came up today.  I never saw this confirmed but it was rumored on around March 20th/21st that we had offered the job to Thad but he failed a physical.  There were a lot of rumors about this and then Goodman tweets out this photo and we all discussed Matta's foot, that wrap and whether it was clear he was fine or still had problems.  Would be curious to hear if we actually did offer him the job or not.  Was this an effort by Dolson to not end up with Woody that did not work out?  Anyone else remember this?  

The rumors were refuted by someone at IU but I would too if it looked like Woody did not have Dolson's support.

Better than Woodson, but he is doing nothing at Butler, currently.

Long time listener first time caller ........... not an insider sorry to disappoint.

I wanna believe as much as the next person Stevie to IU BUT of course I'm very skeptical.

I'm wondering if it is indeed NOT Brad what the infamous "reason" will be this time around? aka the "3-1 family vote of 2021"

If I had to guess I bet it will "come out" brad met with his son after the Louisville game on All Star weekend he became very impassioned by Micah Shrewberry post game rant and is committed to helping turn Notre Dame around. A Big part of the selling point for Stevens was the chance to coach his son at IU who now wants to stay at ND or something to that affect haha it is a fun wave to ride until to comes crashing down Oh well might as well enjoy nothing else to do as this search drags out. 

I will say I did notice and thought it was interesting about the coordinated media discussion yesterday about IU hiring the search firm, I assumed they were doing that anyway given the timing of the search clearly multiple media people were asked to put out there and discuss it.

If you actually watch the X's and O's are good. The problem is they have limited money. It's gotten a little better in the last year but still isn't great. Only 3 of their 5 starters are big east caliber because they can't afford anyone. They do have a good HS class coming in though.

Loose lips are busting at the seams. Formal announcement in 10 days, not likely, and never alluded to that. What I did allude to though, was good news and some happy gentlemen (and ladies?) around here in roughly 10 days. By Senior Day, we will know. Within 48 hours of our conference tournament exit, “official” announcement will be made. It’s done. They aren’t quieting me (ok maybe they are a little).

.....behind the bench,.....hmmmmmm? Maybe you're one of the student managers, grad assistants or a guy with good season ticket seats who's close to the program. 

....jus spitballing! lol
