He might be. If he is that’s ok too. I’ve taken many shots on here I’ll survive. When I first came here saying with my first post that Ed Schilling was going to be named an assistant several people welcomed me. Of course Ed told me he was going to be named the next day. But I have no problem with people coming sharing what they heard.

Yeah, you’ve earned some grace and you rarely are as specific as these people are trying to be.

“Fox sports March 2nd 3pm” 

“10 days”

etc.

And I get people wanting to welcome people, being polite etc, but from my vantage point these types of posters are actively aiming to discredit people on here by spouting nonsense. Maybe I’ve been an internet user for too long.

As long as people like yourself don’t stop engaging because asshats attack you and try to discredit you then all good.

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

I know an acquaintance of Thad’s, & Thad has admitted he doesn’t have the energy he used to coach with, I wondered to myself if that means just physical fatigue or that their passion for coaching has diminished, which is a danger for someone that has left coaching voluntarily because they wanted, let’s say, an executive position or something.

Sounds like a CYA to me 

Not really. They take on the burden of doing a lot of the work that AD doesn't have time for. Like @Hovadipo said, they do background checks, PR, logistics. They're a middleman which serves as a point of contact for the agents of interested coaches to go to and they'll reach out to the agents of coaches IU is interested in to gauge interest. They might add a few suggestions based on the school's criteria, but their main purpose it to shoulder the burden of all the leg work that the AD can't do or doesn't want to do.

They have the added benefit of when IU reaches a deal with someone, they can say "this was the first guy we went after" with it technically not being a lie.

Man I was on my honeymoon in 2016 when the news broke IU hired Archie I was so pissed (Obviously I bought the Billy Donovan rumors hook, line, and sinker) . Called Archie the mid-major flavor of the month. LOL 

We left on on a cruise the next day didn't have internet till we got to the resort in Mexico, saw Archie hired Flint and Schilling. Apparently spent the rest of my trip drunkenly lecturing poor innocent people at the swim up open bar how BACK IU basketball was according to my wife. LOL

Why does it seem like @BehindTheBench's timeline sounds a lot like what @JerryYeagley23 put out a couple weeks ago?

 

Also I wouldn't assume that he's a troll just because he's new

Tell your friend to stop asking stupid questions.  It’s never too early.

The new “insider” posters are like the hot chicks who worked at Chess King back in the day telling guys they looked great no matter what they put on. You wanted to believe them but deep down, you knew.

You know why? You were at Chess King. Nobody's leaving Chess King "looking good".

I may not have the right poster but I was on another site mostly during the Billy Donovan "hire" and am pretty sure you had a post on here that said you saw a bunch of black SUVs pull up and guys with briefcases got out and were in AH.  Was that you?  If so, any idea who they were or was it a joke I took for reals by mistake.  Either way, I think that was when i switched over here full time.  

I don’t remember that if it was me but wouldn’t put it past me. I remember being at Assembly Hall when they said Pitino was there. But if it was the Mike Davis era I was on Peegs.

The 10 day part is probably the difference.  What would happen in 10 days to allow for news to leak to someone like Goodman?

It's Friday and this is a judgement-free zone.

I give them the benefit of the doubt even if new, but it’s also entirely possible they just read the board and are just  regurgitating Jerry’s stuff.

10 business days which would only be within a few days difference. Not that much time tbh

Never a legend, I’ll leave that to you, kind sir. And getting made fun of forever, hey, I’ll wear it. Like you, I simply pass along what I’m told. Commend you specifically, Mr Chris, for continuing to show up and share the info you hear, regardless of the blowback you receive if you aren’t exactly spot on. At the end of the day, we aren’t the ones making the decisions (or it would’ve been wrapped up with the first meeting, am I right?!), we are a just a couple regular dudes sharing info.

I appreciate you being gracious. Our posters normally aren't as much dicks to new posters, but welcome anyway!!

Good catch, I missed the business days part.

That’s why I said why say in 10 business days? You already gave good info but he’s saying things I like so giving him a chance. He also has a familiar posting style.

[ap2345 11,349]

Today is February 21st. 10 business days from today would be Friday March 7th. The Big Ten tournament starts on the 5th so the thinking is IU gets beat and then stuff starts coming out. That would only be about a 10 day difference from Jerry's original timeline.

I will say the general media silence has been interesting. It’s like nobody is hearing anything. Also strange there hasn’t been one renegotiated contract from anywhere. Usually there’d be all kinds of agent nonsense leaking out by now on purpose to get guys paid, and I haven’t seen anything. Makes you wonder what’s happening behind the scenes.
