This always happens around coach hiring cycles. We get an influx of outside posters who are here to feed off of the info. When things don’t pan out they get vitriolic. 
 

That usually dies down early into the offseason and this site gets back to its original core of posters (+/- a few new faces) that get along just fine. 
 

just have to bite down on the leather for now. 

I’ll have you know I’ve been vitriolic for years towards all shapes and sizes of pans.

You should feel sorry for a guy that keeps coming back to a site for inside info, while claiming the site has no inside info though.  At least he’s not doing that, because that would indicate a real lack of intelligence…

I'm not here for "inside" info. I'm here to discuss IU basketball, in this case, the next coach. Brad Stevens is not going to coach Indiana basketball regardless of what anybody hears.

Glad we cleared that up.

I still keep coming back to the one poster whose kid talked with Brads parents somewhere. IU was brought up and his dad said Brad could never do that to Butler! That cuts deep, also is why I’ve moved on from Brad. Would love to be surprised though!

That's always stuck with me too, and seems consistent with the kind of guy Brad is supposed to be. But I've also heard others insist he'd only come back to college to coach at IU.

But that post has reduced my hopes for Brad.

I can tell you there has been significant donor talk of Beard and TJ.  I can also tell you from past experience that donor talk typically doesn’t mean a whole lot unless it’s from the very, very top donors.

You mean like the ones who saved woodson with the six million dollar check.

If you came here for inside info, well I feel sorry for you. At least you aren't paying for it on Peegs. 

Why are you here...

I know we have built McDermont up around here but I think we can all agree there’s a vast gulf of difference between him and Coach K? 
 

Also does anyone know a better word than “vast?“ I’m in desperate need of it.

Those are the ones, yes.  I don’t know any at that level, lol.

I will respectfully say there is zero chance that IU is ‘hopping on the Huss Bus’.  I have stated that he is a good X and O coach….but there are quite a few of those guys.  But I also wouldn’t call high point a mid major.  They are low major.

Now I am confused,one person calls them a low major,one person says a mid major and they call themselves a high point.

If you aren't here for Inside info you should really go back to peegs. They don't give any inside info and think Stevens is completely out. You would fit right in.

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

The only way to tilt the odds in your favor outside of  that is to hire a proven P5 guy. For IUs expectations that list is short: Drew, Bennett, Wright, Donovan, Stevens…That’s about it. The odds are really small for each one but thankfully you only need one.

If Dolson doesn’t know basketball lets hope like hell he’s a big game closer. 

I think you said it well here:

IU's expectations contain candidates that the odds are really small for. So discussing ones that might be "our Pat Kelsey" makes sense to me.

Stevens is completely out and I don't need to pay $100 a year or whatever to tell you that.

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.

Where's the proof on that?
