.....and exactly how would we know whose sources are correct when you won't even say who the candidates are?  Pretty easy to say you aren't wrong when you never said what was right.

I shared the names I heard with a few posters on here via DM. not sharing here. sorry to be vague but tipped my hand a bit too much under my previous username with the archie info and my guy found out and wasn't thrilled. he's also a family member who gives me insane amount of access to IU athletics, not someone i'm trying to piss off. 

Correct, i haven't heard anything since last thursday. almost a week and a lot can change in that timeframe. heard Stevens wants nothing to do with CBB, and loves life in the NBA, but money talks i guess. The sale of the celtics isn't a big deal to him, he wants to stay in boston but will have several NBA offers if he doesn't 

Think i will withhold my info moving forward. understand the skepticism but i see why people with actual info choose not to overshare

Don’t you make me post Archie’s Dayton record. Don’t you put that evil on me!!

I just don't think the Archie argument is a very good one for discrediting, for lack of a better term, every midmajor coach. 

Jay Wright, Bill Self, Coach K, Bob Knight, Scott Drew, Pitino, Billy Donovan and a massive list past those individuals.... all came from a midmajor.

The huss bus sounds like archie. Archie finished in first both of his last two seasons in Dayton. We can't be messing around with flavors of the month anymore

Why are you playing games with this chat.... you do not have a clue.. and you have not heard anything. Just be honest. Just because you post 2000000 times a day on here does not give you credibility. 

Full disclosure: I did not count to verify this, but Chris does not post 2 million times a day on here. 

(And if you choose not to believe his posts, that's fine. But you have no call to get snippy here. Chris is just passing along what he he hears).

IU vetted and didn’t hire Beard last time, BEFORE the incident that cost him the Texas job. If someone you trust says it’s Beard, either you’re being strung among or your source is.

Not trying to start an argument but we don't know that they even got to the vetting process last hire. It could've been that Beard had a pretty strong inclination that UT was opening up and he told the search committee (I guess Dolson since no committee was hired) that he wasn't interested. Could also be that Dolson didn't even inquire about Beard. All of those could be true and not many of us will ever know the truth.

His incessant posting has caused me to sustain an injury to my F5 finger. Do you think we have a case?

FTR, I have predicted Stevens, Beard, CTC all within the last month. Give me my flowers in a few weeks fellas

IU since 2017:  (overall record, conference record, place in conference)

2017–18    16–15    9–9    T–6th    
2018–19    19–16    8–12    9th    
2019–20    20–12    9–11    T–10th    
2020–21    12–15    7–12    T–10th    
2021–22    21–14    9–11    9th    
2022–23    23–12    12–8    T–2nd   
2023–24    19–14    10–10   T–6th                                                                                                                                        

2024--25     18-12      9-10      T-9th

 

This times 100000. I'm tired of being a bubble team and just an average Big Ten Team. Only one of those seasons was enjoyable and it's because they had one of the best players in program history. Whoever the next coach is (Stevens in our wildest dreams or someone like Alan Huss) is going to have to win and win right away. The majority of the coaches discussed would most likely do better than the last 8 years of Archie Miller and Mike Woodson given their proven track record. 

Off topic but FWIW I would not want to be a 4/5 seed playing High Point in the first round.

At least you don't get told to shut up or stop posting daily. 

I think you have good info, just like I think Jerry, RTZ and a few others do. But one side or the other or maybe both are being used as smokescreens. Dolson learned from the last basketball search that too much info was getting out. Appreciate you

I have no trouble not posting. 

The ones with a dozen posts that have you living rent free in their heads also conveniently ignore every qualifier you give, and the hundred other topics from mundane to silly that gets talked about year round. I’m confident if you’d heard a firm no, you’d have said so. Why the fact that you haven’t bothers some to the point of personal attacks I’m sure I don’t understand, but the amount of haterz is pretty funny lol
