The one thing that most people need to realize sometimes.

People like Chris, RTZ, Jerry, GP and AP tell us what they are hearing. Whether it comes to fruition or not, doesn’t make them a troll or a liar. What they are hearing today, February 24th, may be correct and accurate info TODAY. That could change tomorrow. People change their minds all the time. None of us on here are taking directly or thinking for Brad Stevens or “insert coach here”.
So many people get offended or call them trolls, etc if what they say doesn’t happen. They aren’t on here spreading BS (bull sh*t) rumors for fun. They say what they hear from a source. That source could embellish it or the info just straight up changes because person changed their mind or whatever. Either way, Regardless of what happens, we are lucky to have them all here and saying what they hear. Better times are ahead for IU regardless, because Woodson is gone. In saying that, LETS GO BRAD. LETS GO HOOSIERS.

Thank you for reading, now back to our regular scheduled programming.

Good points.

In the end, this is one big attempt to figure out who the next coach is maybe a few days before everyone knows.  It’s kinda pointless, but it’s entertaining and fun — lots of good debate here.

No one has to play this game, if someone wants certainty they have the IndyStar, H-T, or IU press conference announcing the new coach to all the IU fans.  Everyone will find out who the next coach is.

Was that in Baylor’s new arena?

Not if it was in 2011, the new arena is like a year old

Okay…l guess I got confused because the wiki I read said the Ferrell Center was still used for basketball.  It didn’t look new to me, so thanks for the clarification.  :)

I will when I have heard from someone I trust that it is a done deal. Some others have heard things like that but I have not. 

Also I thought it was done last time, people believed me, I felt I let them down and I got some really nasty emails from people. Just trying to avoid that

I am so sorry people have you hate emails that is so stupidly ridiculous. We are adults on a message board and you’ve made your position clear from the beginning (well at least since I’ve been here). I’ll be the Kevin Costner to your Whitney Houston (no homo haha)

Am I one of a few on here wearing rose colored glasses for Stevens? I honestly can’t even focus on any other candidate until he’s either 100% “the one” or officially ruled out. There’s nothing wrong with this mindset for all you pessimists. 
I guess the reason why I’m so comfortable in this coaching search is because I HAVE 100% confidence that Dolson’s going to bring in a great haul in Stevens or someone else with a top notch resume that we will all love. 
There’s just something about this search that feels different and different in a positive way that we have never seen the likes of.

I have gone to a game at Baylor when they and the opponent were both top 20 ranked.  The game was on ESPN and the arena was half full.  Right before tip the PA guy says "alright, everybody move on down" or something like that and the lower bowl was instantly full for the TV angles.  I found it odd though that most of the people sitting up higher kept their coats on then when the PA guy said that and they all flocked down it seemed a regular occurrence.  This was in 2011 when they went to the elite 8 so a very good team.  I always thought he might look for a more passionate place at some point

That's why their new arena seats 7,000 versus the 10,000+ in the old arena. 

"The Foster Pavilion — named for Paul (BBA ’79) and Alejandra Foster, whose $100 million gift in 2019 helped launch the project — will offer a more intimate environment for basketball than the Ferrell Center. Just as McLane Stadium’s downsizing compared to Floyd Casey Stadium has helped give Baylor football a better home-field advantage, the Foster Pavilion’s size — 7,000 seats — and design will help ensure the new facility is packed with Baylor fans night in and night out."

Yeah. The new arena is really nice but small. Looks bigger than 7,000 seats if that matters. 
 

Well maybe not. The new one may be different.  The other one looked nice so I assumed it was new.

I am wearing the rose colored glasses but keeping it quiet, lol. I am also open to other candidates though.  It's at least nice to hear Indiana linked to other good coaches like Scott Drew from outside of Indiana boards/sources. 

Like you, I feel good that Dolson will make a good hire.  He's earned that from his football hire.

nope you're not alone..

     I have a $10 bet with a PUke fan co worker that it's BS and anyone that asks, I'm saying the same. Not wavering..

If I'm wrong, so what?

Despite the title it's actually just an opinion, not a "link" to the job, but anything is better than devolving into more rhymes. Please, let's not do that anymore.

If I remember correctly Uwe, ty for the spell check, was the equivalent to a 5☆ recruit. We had John Flowers in that class I believe, another all-American. 

Watched John Flowers at South Side HS. Man, he loved to dunk. Went to an IU game during winter break and the crowd cheered loudly when he came in for Uwe. Good times.

I suppose you could argue that Stevens "officially" ruled himself out as a candidate. And even then we are disinclined to believe it haha

I think folks (including myself) will be pining for Stevens up until the news drops that we are officially in talks with or have signed someone else.

I was at church yesterday and overheard a couple friends of mine talking about the coaching search. I walked up and they asked what I thought and I told the I still think it’s Stevens. One guy rolled his eyes and shook his head and the other guy (IU grad and local doctor in our home town) looked surprised and said, “Huh, why do you think that?”
