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

Rabby said there will be an updated hot board tomorrow for what it’s worth 


Imo, Rabby is Dolson’s mouthpiece. Narrative setter. Woody and his crew really dislike Rabby so his info has been off for 2+years.

I think Rabby will have his finger on the pulse better going forward but he’s also going to help the AD do it’s bidding.

Therefore no leaks through Rabby, unless that’s what Dolson wants.

Replace Wojo with Shams, I believe Wojo is an college GM now

Yeah, he is the AD at his alma mater of St. Bonaventure. You are about 6 months from that being pretty convincing. Lol

The Stevens are going to be empty nesters soon, children in Midwest schools,  Family and childhood friends in Midwest, Last opportunity to have your dream job, getting ansty with that stuffy office job? Thinking about where you want to settle in as two, means more now, than any other time as a couple. Who knows.

Either way, this is turning into a win-win situation for us IU fans. Finally getting to watch high iq/high energy basketball, and we're getting a new coach. In Scott We Trust

So how much of the chatter on Trilly’s discord comes from people other than him? Does anyone on there seem informed? I had assumed it was mostly just him posting and then people reacting—didn’t realize they had their own (inferior!) Chris007s.

There are a couple people on there with some info but the main person pumping Brad is also on BTB. [emoji846]

Family has been sick today so I've had "free" time today. I wanted to see what the "hot boards" looked like in 2017 and in 2021.

Archie's name was mentioned from the start. However, Billy Donovan was the prize during that search. I think Friday was the Albers "Donovan was in Bloomington" tweet. I know Alford at some point said it wasn't him. Next day is when they announced Archie Miller as coach. Search lasted 9 days. 

We all know who was the man in 2021. His press conference basically ended all speculation. Search went on for another week. Woodson's name kept appearing everywhere despite the Stevens, Beilein, Moser (lol), Matta, Holtmann talk. Search lasted 13 days. 

A couple of things that stand out: 

1) 2025 candidates are MUCH better than in 2017 and 2021. 

2) While they weren't the "favorite" Archie and Woodson's names did appear pretty much from early on in the process. It is very likely the name of our next coach has been discussed/mentioned. I do think there is a tight lip on this process (as there should be) but names get thrown around for a reason. 

3) Smoke really didn't pick up until the day they were hired. I think Archie was broke that morning by Woj. Woodson I think by Bozich. If I remember right there was a feeling or rumor announcement would be made that day. Very similar to Cig back in 2023. 

With IU (Likely) making the tournament, I would expect either an announcement or leak 24-48 hours after their season ends or when our new coach's season ends. Earliest I can see that being would be around March 22. I just don't see any leaks happening. Love the speculation and excitement, but let's not get carried away. Just think it'll be quiet for 3 weeks. Let's hope the team gives us a lot to be excited about. 

Last item: we've heard what Stevens (through Goodman), May, Cronin think about the IU job. Even Pearl has commented on IU before. Beard gave a Coach Knight shout-out recently. Why has nobody in the media asked Scott Drew? It's just interesting with the Texas insider thinking it's him. Cronin is still my prediction, but there are a lot of realistic reasons why I think it could be Drew.

FWIW the Pelicans re-signed Cody last summer essentially just to trade him with Dejounte Murray trade to make the trade work within the rules of the salary cap.

Then the Hawks sent him to the Rockets for the rights to a 29-year-old Frenchman who was the final pick of the 2017 draft who’s never come to the league and never will in an attempt to shed payroll.

The remaining two years on the three year contract he signed last summer are not guaranteed; I assume this is the end of the line in the league. My best guess — someone here may know personally — is he intended to retire last summer but was (of course!) agreeable to making an additional $3.5M to not play so the teams could make the trade work, and that his salary thru the deadline was the price of doing business for the Hawks.

Random thought, if McCollum retired from coaching this season would he make the Basketball Hall of Fame (as a coach)? There are several D2 coaches who have been inducted, Herb Magee and Clarence Gaines, for example. McCollum’s D2 success surpasses both of theirs.

The house Cigs bought was never for sale. Also some think he might not live in Bloomington. It could also stay pending till the end of March 

Probably want to live in more of a booming metropolis like Ellettsville? Maybe Spencer? Perhaps keep to himself in Nashville? Lol
