This should go without saying obviously, but there will be no press conference tomorrow. I’ll be able to take the lid off a bit later in the week. But will say this, anybody providing details right no

I’ve had several PM’s so wanted to drop a quick line to the broader board. Love this group and fully intend to continue to contribute to the community, Im not going anywhere. (Sorry to a few of you) B

So I couldn’t get much from him unfortunately. But, to me that’s a good thing. There’s been pretty much zero chatter, nor leaks for a month about coaches. He said it doesn’t matter that the season is

And that's why the most valuable sources of chatter might not be from the IU side of things.

Amirite, @BGleas?

At least one trusted poster has indicated he’s heard things from the other side. Not gonna tag him but some of you have seen it.

I’m fully expecting someone new to pop in sometime after lunch with a new completely bonkers option. My money has been on someone pushing Shrewsberry for a few days, just waiting for that to come to fruition. Surprised it’s taken so long to be honest. Expecting big things from the Friday news dump.

@Stuhoo was the conductor of the Shrewsberry train until this season. I think he's hopped off.

To me, McCollum is maybe the most intriguing ‘what if’ candidate. Seems like the upside is astronomical, just no idea what his floor looks like being in charge of a D1 behemoth of a program. I’ve watched some Drake since Woody got canned and the deliberate offense isn’t nearly as mind numbing as I thought it would be just looking on paper. Ultimately I’d be pretty surprised if Dolson risked it on a guy with exactly zero Q1 experience but who knows. 

Agreed- it's really not . The pace (# of possessions) is slow, but the offense is very efficient.

After talking to someone in the know, it appears TJ Otzelberger has his eyes on staying in Ames. 

Clearly,dodged a bullet. Imagine the crap show when his psychosis full manifested

He's 20-11 in the NCAAT..... honestly, we deserve basketball purgatory for dismissing him, which you aren't necessarily, but.... idk. This is wild to me. 

Trying to respect everyone else's opinion, but.... holy smokes guys.  

Pretty wild that you're so dismissive of Cronin but consider Drew a home run. Yes Drew has a national title, and yes that inflates his overall NCAAT record, but Scott Drew is the king of first weekend exits. Honestly one of the biggest knocks on him, that and his teams generally don't play defense (which lead to early exits) and he's barely over .500 in the B12.

I say that and I like Scott Drew a lot. But Scott Drew and Mick Cronin are very similar coaches in my opinion and you're completely dismissive of one and falling over for the other.

Hypothetical: a contract was signed and the new coach contacts his friend (Goodman) to ask a favor.  Send out a vague message that I am not a candidate for the IU coaching position.  Scott and I have agreed to give you the heads up hours before making any official announcement.  You can say I was not a candidate because I had already accepted the position and we needed to keep a low profile to allow Woodson to bow out gracefully.

I hope so, but I'm not sure this is consistent with how Goodman has been talking about the job the past couple weeks. I don't thinking he'd be pushing a guy like TJ Otzelberger if he knew Brad was already in the bag.

I also think the tweet would likely have been worded differently in that case, without the not a candidate bit.

Doesn't mean it's not Brad, just that I'm not convinced Goodman is in on the ruse.
