HoosierSadaseci Posted March 5 Posted March 5 I truly trust Chris and the information he brings...and Chris has even said that Brad Stevens is unlikely to be the next coach at IU...and this is no way a knock on Chris... What sticks with me though is that Stevens apparently did give us a look last time...and Dolson has created a friendship of sorts with Stevens, or at least been communicating with him... From that you would think Dolson would be able to gauge Steven's interest now...and by some accounts he's not interested... Then why was Woodson's "retirement " announced when it was...I don't think it happens mid-season unless Dolson felt strongly in a certain candidate...especially with the chance for the team to still make the tournament... So either he wanted to get ahead of things for May...but it appears to have fallen through...or he feels confident in someone like Stevens... Regardless we're going to end up with an upgrade over Woodson... #1fanofafrin, hoosierfan6157, kottke and 3 others 6

Regardless we're going to end up with an upgrade over Woodson... Just a guess and not based on anything but Woodson’s “retirement” could very well have been done to stave of an ugly environment at assembly Hall. Now, that would assume that the decision was made that Woodson was gone at the end of the year. As for Stevens, I think Dolson has likely known for quite some time if he is an option. I don’t think Woodson’s retirement has to mean that Dolson has his guy, though. moyemayhem, MikeRoberts, go iu bb and 2 others 4 1
Ctf9 Posted March 5 Posted March 5 Interesting story on McCasland: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6172277/2025/03/05/texas-tech-grant-mccasland-jeff-linder/ Like Painter, he hired a coach as an offensive coordinator, which explains their scoring surge this year. This is also relevant: “Linder had been a Division I head coach for the last eight seasons — the most recent four at Wyoming, where in 2022 he took the Cowboys to just their third NCAA Tournament in the last four decades — but he wasn’t sure he had the resources to win consistently in the name, image and likeness era. So he joined a program that has become one of the Big 12’s top spenders on basketball, with the largest 2024 operating budget of any current league member, according to statistics from the Department of Education.” go iu bb and lillurk 2
kottke Posted March 5 Posted March 5 1 hour ago, Stuhoo said: 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. Are Schertz and Huss truly options? I’d love Schertz if we can’t get our top choice. Don’t know much about Huss. lillurk 1

I really don’t know if I buy that Dolson is just floating out names to keep people off the scent but I think he is putting on a masterclass on a very controlled and “no outside noise” search. Other than our football search, anyone else know of a process like this where there was no concrete evidence getting out for several weeks of the process? Ctf9 1
