Lots of agent stuff flying around right now. Lots of people in IU circles are saying different names and some are saying different candidates are done. Scott has hired like 5 different coaches in the last week if you listen to every single rumor. 

I feel like that’s a sign that Dolson has it EXTREMELY TIGHT LIPPED. Besides Dolson/whitten and the search firm who is usually involved in the interviews? Are the donors only approached once Dolson is ready to extend a formal offer?

Wasn't there a vote of no confidence of Whitten right before her contract extension?

Yes, I think that was in 2023

I understand you want Beard. I'm just trying to tell you it is a tough sell around campus. But I'm tired of explaining it. Time will tell

Dude....you just did to me what you accuse people of doing to you. I literally quoted you about 10 minutes ago saying I didn't think IU would hire him and that they probably shouldn't.  I'd support him if he were hired is all.

Let's have some fun today while we wait for Dolson to cross the T's on Brad's contract.

I think we need to start a new bingo card that has the following phrases.

"I'll eat crow"  - I never encounter this phrase in any other aspect of my life but on this message board. 

"High Ceiling"

"Low Ceiling" 

"Floor"

"Domestic violence"

"Done Deal"

"Sources" 

Dont forget Close to the Vest

He posted the video in this thread, pretty sure in a back and forth with you actually lol. I didn’t save it so don’t have it handy. @iu eyedoc do you recall?

I can't concur that I've ever had that specific interaction with the doctor. Seems like that'd be a video I'd remember if so. However, if the video exists I'd sure love the backstory on it

Why should we care what a bunch of soy boy professors think? We are trying to win games here. 

So are you on the Beard train and off the Brad train?

Good day if you have espn+.   If not you can just argue about Beard in the candidates thread all day

Yes I would highly recommend if anyone has the ability to get down there to attend to do so.   Plenty of great seats available and as always downtown Indy does it right!!!

High Point plays at noon on ESPN + in the Big South tourney.   Highly recommend watching if you want to see more on Huss coaching in a pressure situation.  

Signed an extension yesterday, yes?  Personally I think he's a year or two from getting his P5 shot.  I think it's important that he get his team into the tournament at least once.   His team was really good last year but didn't win the conference tournament and was relegated to the CBI I believe.

Went there to the Indy 2022 BTT games and those were electric

Its Friday.  Students are testing all day.  Following the chaos here and Conference tournaments all day!  God Bless This place and America!   

This has been your Tad Talk for the day.  Keep your head on a swivel today and lets all get ready to welcome BS to the Hoosiers!

We shouldn't.  We're hiring a men's basketball coach.  This isn't your neighbor, pastor, or brother in law.  It's ridiculous that some insist on only hiring a Ned Flanders clone.

Thanks. So the video was posted in 2022, but actually apparently from 2020. So admittedly, not in Oxford. I stand corrected.

Are you ******* with me right now with that video?lol

I would say its safe to say Beard has 2 strikes with the domestic violence and whatever that video is flying around.  Do we really want to be the university to offer the 3rd?  Some major red flags IMO

Is there an event going on at Gainbridge? Or is this picture meaning he is not on any flights that we suspected he was on?

The women’s Big 10 tournament.
