I think for how he treated Woody last season.

IMHO, that "treatment" was warranted. Light reveals truth.

He’s not even listed on the latest hot board for coaches. Don’t hold your breath…though I would be in favor of the hire

I choose that 2032 asteroid getting here ahead of schedule. 

Brownell is a legit candidate so be prepared

I don't love it  if it ends up being Cronin, but I don't hate it either...

Long time no post?  Welcome back.

Maybe his brings Lewis down from Muncie? Top assistant. IU guy can definitely help recruit the state he hasn’t been exactly killing it a Ball State as the HC . 

Lewis was on his original staff at UCLA, I believe, so I could see that.

My hope is that two weeks after the Celtics won the NBA Championship, Dolson called Stevens and said "Congratulations on winning the NBA Championship!  Now, are you ready to win an NCAA Championship because the IU job is going to be open next year". 

Yep and I feel like that’s exactly what’s happening.

I don’t know why, but every time I see Sadeseci’s avatar I think of coach Tony Bennett lol

Brownell screams “IU hire,” so I’m not surprised in the slightest. I think IU can’t disappoint more than it already has, but IU always finds a way.

I am not a huge fan, but I will say his willingness to burn whatever access he had (or didn't) to go on record with HH and call a spade a spade with the state of the Woody experiment scored some points with me. No idea how well sourced he is or isn't since I have never been a Peegs person beyond casual lurking on the free board. 

Serious question - are you actually able to access a Peegs free board anymore?

First off I get so tired of his use of soft chatter, my intel and things like that. 
Also does he not find it weird that there not much noise of Dolson really talking to anyone yet? 

Has Rabby addressed how unusual it is that Dolson is scheduling non-conference games for next season without consulting with his head coach?

Brownell's agent is trying to get him paid and/or raise his profile following the elite eight appearance. Zero shot he is under any serious consideration right now. He certainly could be if literally no one wants the job, but as of now, I don't think so. I imagine we will see several other names pop up the longer this goes that make zero sense. It happens every coaching search.

Yeah, sure he is. Just because a few donors have tossed his name out and IU is vetting him doesn’t make him a real candidate

If it Steven’s I have a feeling Dolson has known it for a long time. The fiascos 4 years ago turned out to be a disaster. I just don’t see Dolson going blind into it this year. He wanted Woodson gone last year. So he’s had a year to plan this and work on the guy he wants. Just makes me believe he knew who we were getting long before this all started a month ago. 

And Dolson had Pearl and May lined up.   I know people said the Pearl ship sailed, last year or never, and the stuff with his son …. But i do wonder if he’d reconsider?

Not sure, haven't looked in a while, it was like ten years ago I would lurk it. I know the rivals free one is pretty active still.

Only my personal opinion, but I think IU already has their coach. Take that for what it's worth, but my feeling is that May has been told and that is why he signed an extension. As others have said, things aren't making a lot of sense right now. Scott is still doing his due diligence, but why has all the information suddenly stopped flowing? Maybe I'm delusional or it's just wishful thinking, but I think things aren't making much sense right now for a reason. Scott has been conducting this search for over a year now, IMO.
