Also I have already messaged Chris to apologize about my conduct from a few weeks ago. I also let him know it wasn't me today that was talking about him on HSN.

Kudos to you for doing this.  We are a big dysfunctional family around here and glad to see you back.

Thank you, I just let my passion for IU basketball get the best of me sometimes. I also take things to seriously and need to realize this is only basketball and should be fun.

Sorry if I missed it, but did you ever reveal who the was the subject the chatter going around Bloomington?  If you can’t, no worries. Just curious.

Chris has been holding some buckets under these leaks… Seems to be referencing said leaks quite frequently today.

You do know “Fans” is an abbreviated version of FANATICS, right? We’re all ate up with basketball badly, but we’re good. You handled your business the right way kudos.

The leaks arent the whole picture. And often inconclusive on their own. But…when added together…

Aren’t leaks with no information…. Not leaks.

Context is everything. A house by itself is not info. A flight by itself isn’t info. A firm hired to vet people isn’t info. An expiring contract isn’t info. A lack of official leaks isn’t info. An order to shut up isn’t info. An NDA isn’t info. A non-denial denial isn’t info. 
 

all together and we got a picture. Just something to think about.

I get your point.  There.has just been talk about all this new leaking but we have no new info.  I mean these are the worse leakers ever.

Guessing this may be the flight in question?

If I’ve learned anything in my life, it’s to make decisions with as little information as possible. Optimism baby! Or resort to hacking Dolson’s phone. I’m on board either way.

Long time lurker, first time poster. I think I’ve read all comments on this topic and I’m yet to see an article that my brother sent me from the San Diego Union Tribune about the UCSD coach Eric Olen being on IU’s radar. The story is behind a paywall, I’ll share link, see if people can read it. I also found it being discussed on a UCLA message board.

Kind of the same problem as McCollum without as much success. No experience at a high-major program (successful or not). Not time at D1 but has had some success in those 5 years with his team improving. Not as much success as McCollum at the D2 level. 

Has been at that school for a while now but still young at 44.

Pretty big risk. 

Are you familiar with him or the team at all? What's the style of play? Do his teams have an identity?

I’m good with the hacking!  Thanks

It takes class to apologize. Props
