I know one coach Dolson has contacted and his name has been mentioned.  It has gone eerily quiet which could mean they have someone locked up that’s higher than him or it could be him.  

This narrows it down to 1000 coaches but thanks!

I’m over coaching search rumors. If someone wants to impress me, find out what that guy said to get thrown out by the ref last night. Not sure the last time I’ve seen that outside of high school ball. 

I saw that too last night

Steve Gutenberg 

He lost his house in the California fires recently but looked like he is still in good shape.  Only 66.

So in terms of time frame...

If IU doesn't make the NCAA tournament, and it's someone not currently coaching (Brad, Wright, Bennett), we should know in approximately 3 weeks.

If IU does make the NCAA Tournament, and it's someone not currently coaching, we should know within a couple days after IU gets eliminated.

If it's someone who is currently coaching (e.g., Otz, Drew, etc.), then we should know within a couple days of their team being eliminated (assuming IU's season has also ended by that point).

Any way you slice it,  we're looking at close to three more weeks of uncertainty, at a minimum.

That is what I have told so many people when they ask. We never thought we would know who the next coach is by Feb 27. So just relax and hang on

I was not at the Purdue game so I'm not sure who was the happiest but this person was wearing all black at the Purdue game. It was kind of a weird look.

Also I noticed that none of the people putting up any money in this search were there last night. 

Had all black with the black cap on I believe

Stop using logic that's not allowed here.

Did that seem like a weird outfit to you for the Purdue game?

The fan just asked if the ref's parents had ever been married?

Correct.  It's actually March 2nd 3PM on Foxsports when we find out.    /s

Isn't this the time of day where some rando drops in and suggests someone like Tommy Amaker is going to be the coach?

Not Brownell or Turgeon, please!?

No.  This didn’t start recently.  It’s been a couple months. Gauged interest, asked what he wanted, etc.  I don’t believe the Stevens stuff but the Drew thing intrigued me.

It is the job of the President and BoT to protect the image, brand, and reputation of Indiana University, a huge multi-billion $ institution.  

Fair or unfair, the public perception alone (details in a police report or investigation don't matter) of some candidates could damage IU's image/brand/rep and it's within Pam and the Board's purview to get involved in such situations.  I don't consider this materially meddling in the process.  

They sure have done an amazing job doing that the past 25 years.  And hiring another Archie or Woody would be a million times worse for the University’s image than hiring Beard and him having a dui sometime in the future.

So Dolson is ghosting Mark Turgeon?
