Best answer yet. In all essence the realistic top 10 to 15 remain Schrödinger's cat - each candidate is our next coach and isn't -  yes there's obviously different levels of probability but honestly at this stage and the 'close mouthed' nature of the search I'd say the probability amplitude depth has so many variables that we are discussing just realistically the strengths and weaknesses of each candidate then really doing much in the way of eliminating possibilities. Either way I enjoy it - but am very skeptical of any 100% claims either way.   

Always love a "Shrodinger's cat" reference. Best take on the coaching search I have read.

We don’t want Beard and we’re going to end up with Brad Brownell…
Yikes

I 100% expect it to be bronwell or someone like him. We have already crossed off like 5 names probably because they aren't pure. Stevens isn't happening

Lewis? Please tell me this is satire

I wish it was but it's iu. We hired Woodson for crying out loud

yeah, my point was that no one will believe any insight that isn’t what they wanna hear. I’ve been saying for weeks Stevens has been 100% out from the jump. He just doesn’t wanna leave the Celtics for IU. Period.  Of course it makes total sense, because leading the Celtics organization is a better job than coaching at IU, but no one buys that someone may know it for a fact because cognitive dissonance has a stranglehold on this board.  

Some would suggest that an inability or unwillingness to take all factors & variables into consideration & oversimplifying things to suit your personal belief would qualify as cognitive dissonance as well.

Oh man Hornsby has his new fixation since Woody being gone has settled. Everyone prepare for slightly reworded posts about how we are doomed to hire Brownell for the next 3-4 weeks. (I kid, I kid)

Who TF is Bronwell? DIII prodigy?

was wandering the same thing, maybe Brownell?

[TadQueasy 1,413]

I will take Bronwell over Brownell! 

[Hornsby 3,117]

Brownell is 0% chance.  There’s no way IU hires him.

You wanna bet. They hired Woodson and archie. Plus bronwell is pure. No speeding tickets.

Yeah, I rearranged my sentences. That must be it. Sorry about that. Didn’t know cut/paste changed the fonts.

Why does it bother you so much if people think IU has a chance of landing Stevens? You do realize that what happens on this has no real effect on the coaching search, right? So people wasting time talking about Stevens doesn't mean IU is wasting time trying to get Stevens.

I think it’s just that everyone wants insider info and for the first time in my life I have it but nobody wants to hear it because it isn’t good news and that drives me crazy. That’s really it. I’m sorry for the abrasiveness. Will try to be better. 
 

and will try to just  beat the McCollum drum instead.

Are we, the active posters of BTownBanners, collectively experiencing a mass psychosis because of this coaching search? It’s pretty hilarious having the same convo with you guys every other day in here. Never change fellas.

On this note-

Cronin, who I don’t care for, seems like the most likely guy that is employed.

I don’t believe the Drew stuff is reasonable or that exciting really.

Missing Dusty still pisses me off, but he’s not completely shut off in my mind.

I’m excited to see who it ends up being. I’d love to know which coaches agents are contacting Dolson… (which is a huge benefit of knowing early even though KathywithaC disagrees). Biggest job of the off-season, and open early to plan accordingly. I guess we will find out within a month if Dolson has the goods.

So you have info...Who do you think IUs top 3 at this point are?

I’m not the one making the decision and there’s a lot more details on the situation that I can’t go into 

I brought it up before, and believe that the potential of the Celtics being sold, and who they're sold to, may be the deciding factor here...

From who tho? Everyone else has explained their sources lol that’s probably apart of the issue you’ve got going on here.

I want to know where IssacTor is at right now. Could use a dose of his positivity about now. Even if it’s outlandish lol

He's thinking of another date to pull out of his backside.

Dude has Clemson rolling in the ACC and has done terrific with NIL and team building. I would take him in front of most of these second tier coaches plus he’s a Hoosier and would represent with pride home state pride.

This is his 15th season at Clemson.  He’s made the Elite 8 one time and the Sweet 16 one time during his tenure.  Not a good idea, imo.

They just like when the “insiders” talk in code or riddles, or are very vague with their info. “I know things but I can’t say now on that front…” 
 

I do agree that Stevens to IU is not a 0% chance, but I have about the same chance to go on a date with Lily James (google her—hot!) as BS to IU though, so like 0.01% chance
