Good Lord.

I sincerely hope this wasn’t about my fart joke. If that is the line then my time on this site will come to an abrupt end.

I like how you show up to argue with everyone about everything then act shocked everyone gangs up on you. Weren’t you the one saying nothing was getting announced on Woodson in the middle of the season and everyone who thought otherwise was dumb?

And on and on. If dolson is going to stick his neck out to hire some flavor of the month he sure better hope it works out

Lickliter can be Stevens' first assistant!

I’ll bite Tom. I don’t think he’s quite the slam dunk he’s made out to be, and there is at least marginal risk. Not the least of which is that I have a hard time believing he’d be coach for 10+ years. Chances are he’d be as advertised, but I don’t think he’s as sure a thing as Oats or Pearl in terms of FF and title probabilities. It’s one reason I wish there was donor support to take whatever offer BS likely turns down and at least make Oats say no, but it doesn’t sound like there is stomach for 10+ million a year for anyone but the whale.

98% of this thread will have nothing to do with the next coach. There are tons of names discussed here, all but one of which will not be the next coach and most of whom will never be in consideration. I'll never understand why people get so fixated on not discussing one particular name. 

I think this happens when someone with a different view of who they want doesn't align with what they want then the shut it down, attack the person or proposed coach and even lash out in some ways.  

The fact is we as a fan base should be able to have a discussion on potential names and not attack each other but I don't see that happening in today's world of message boards or anything else.  As I have grown older, I have learned to listen and value other thoughts and opinions.  It doesn't mean I agree with them but at least hear them out and not attack them.  Work life has taught me to not shut down others as it may keep them from sharing in the future and you may lose out on some good ideas or information.  Just my 2 cents. 

Plus, it just a coaching search for a team we all love.  Not a life decision we are making for our family or friends.

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.

Do I know you?

Nooooo. There is no fart joke that won't elicit a smirk at the very least. By all means, keep it gassy.

It was my reaction after waking up and trying to peruse the day's activity only to see some posters evidently had idle time and a horse not dead enough to their liking.

Personally, none of those feel like they prove your point, but okay.

 

Genuine question, you think Brad is completely out (maybe he is, but I don't know that and neither do you) what candidates do you think are worth discussing or realistic options in your eyes?

[Motley's]

Honest question because I don’t recall. Did  anyone track and report on the flight when Dolson went to.meet with Woodson? 

[jimsorgi]

So what do we think of Mark Turgeon?

Yes, people spotted flights going to White Plains, NY back and forth

I've been holding off, and will continue to do so. This might have even been a joke.

But, hypothetically; I think his current basketball resume would make him a hire on par with Louisville hiring Pitino in 2001, UNC hiring Roy Williams in 2003 and UK hiring Calipari in 2009 as the three most significant college coaching hires of the last 25 years.

Can I try that one? 

My current list of legitimate candidates:

• Drew
• Otz
• Collins
• Schertz
• McCasland
• Cronin
• Huss
• McCollum
• McDermott
• Brownell

I'm willing to state that I think it is likely we will have one of those ten guys as the next coach at IU. Based on what I have heard (including things not on the open board) and in no particular order, that's my list.

No.

It played out exactly like I said it would play out.

Well this just guarantees that he will because you are wrong way more than you’re right.

Brother...I've discussed ad nauseum who I think are realistic options and who I think we succeed/fail here.
