And a better non-con schedule and a basketball GM?  Can't remember who threw those out but thought you might have been one of them?  

Yes I have heard those but it wasn't from me. GM and Assistant GM

And this is alot bigger than just fans booing. Like, big deal. Surely that's not reason Woodson had to be announced then right?? Had to be another reason that announcement couldn't wait

The Riddler says so, but I think he makes some things up. Others are unsure.

I will go a step further and say that a couple of people who had to go back and find more money said they wanted a guarantee this time that if they found a few more million to throw on the deal it wasn't going to be a no. From everything I heard they got that. That was the morning of the 14th. Then everything took off till Goodman in the afternoon. 

My sources haven't said much since. I have heard other people saying different things but it goes in cycles. Every time you hear something good within a few hours you hear something bad and vice versa. 

So who really knows? 

Well then if I am reading this right, the deal was made the morning of Feb 14.  Stevens tells Goodman he is not a candidate for the IU job, without telling him it's because he just accepted the IU job.  Perfect.  :)

The most likely scenario is Brad Stevens isn’t coming here, evidenced by Goodman’s tweet saying as much, and neither is Dusty May, evidenced by him signing an extension literally last week, but some are spinning those two events into evidence they’re coming to IU…

I hope Dolson doesn’t share their beliefs and is working on finding who actually might want to be our next coach. 

It is true that the more mental gymnastics we have to pull, the less good we should feel about any particular candidate. I caught myself trying to talk myself into Dusty's extension not being an obstacle, but I'm suspicious of that line of thought.

Coach ss? If our insiders are wavering I am concerned

What's your take on pushing Woody to a retirement announcement mid-season? Purely to safeguard in the event he goes on a run? Wo many things just don't add up.

Dolson’s a smart guy and with basically a year to prep I find it impossible to believe that the plan is a guy who ain’t comin’, a guy who ain’t comin’ and a guy who probably ain’t comin’. Sure, take the big swings if you need to, but then get into your actual process and nail down your guy. And it’s gonna take a minute. The downside of Woody not making it to the end of the year is the giant information vacuum that we’re going to spend the next 6-8 weeks filling with our angst and insanity. But they’ll get a good dude. They will. Not concerned about the size of the name.

This is true; with the resources and the time, I think the biggest of fish are gettable. Would just like the timeline to accelerate.

The way I see it, a lot of talk, but also not enough concrete evidence. Pretty much, no one has a clue was is going on.

The one thing I have never been told most likely is because it hasn't happened nothing has been signed. Maybe agreed to but not signed. Not sure what happened after that. I don't like verbal agreements

Well from hindsight I'm guessing if it didn't happen after that Purdue win his supporters would be saying one more year.

But I don't know for sure the reasoning behind it.

I think it was more getting one done to stop the questions. It speaks more to the fact he was never leaving Michigan in the first place after Woody got another year. Now you could, I suppose, hope that was because he (Dusty) knew he wouldn’t even be considered due to Dolson having someone else not currently coaching already locked up, but I find that highly unlikely. The most logical explanation is Dusty told us no, and knew nothing he could say would stop speculation sans extension. My opinion? Dusty was never leaving a high major that he liked after one season, and probably was never a realistic candidate. 

Well Dusty go bad advice.  Should have waited and seen what other options there were to leverage Michigan.  This is an underwhelming extension.

I don't think you have read what I have said. Also, I have not seen where anyone else on here that I trust is saying were out.

I like Sam but don't believe his side of things but I will say there are definitely people that do

Protecting our home court would be a fantastic improvement given Woody's lost 15 times in SSAH.

Didn't believe when I looked at the schedule that the win over Purdue was the first win at home since January 8th. 45 days without a home win, 0-4 in that timeframe.

I like the way you put that. That sums it up perfectly

Thanks Chris it was because I wasn't reading. My app was running slow and I couldn't see previous posts. I just wanted to know what was going on before going back to work! Thanks again
