I’m giving Dolson at least enough credit that he won’t hire a guy that will be dumbfounded if an opponent switches to a zone

Tom Crean says hello.

Next coach who has not been mentioned… Avery Johnson!

-Available immediately, so checks that box.

-Coaching experience in a major college conference, although with lackluster results. Did go to one NCAA tournament, so checks that box.

-Was a better NBA coach, with 3 seasons of 50+ wins, so can relate to recruits what it takes to get to the league. Checks that box.

-Would make Crean look like he was in quicksand on the sidelines. So there’s that.

-And most importantly, was known as “The Little General “ as a player. That’s almost destiny, would bring the program full circle, and harken it back to its glory days!

While he's an excellent poster and can speak for himself... I have a feeling he doesn't know what's going on and doesn't want to get bludgeoned with questions that he isn't able to answer.

But that's just my take.

I would say he knows more about what’s going on than anyone on this site. I’m sure when this is all over he will have some great stories.JMO

Not sure what he is worse at being a college basketball coach or being a college basketball commentator.   He is brutally bad on the mic.   Might be why cbssports network  has him do the late games every time so the least amount of people haven’t listen to him.   Mute the tv if he is doing a game

My feeling was that when Jerry said that he was told that some things needed to stay quiet, he heeded that advice.

Just an update for my fellow Hoosiers. Ole QB is cooking up something that I know will please everyone here. And best of all, this candidate has the full backing of Coach Woodson. 

Negotiations are still ongoing, so please know that things can change. The biggest hang-up right now is the length of the contract. I'm going to keep pushing for 8-10 years. I will rest easy knowing this program will be in good hands long after I step down. 

Go Hoosiers!

To think there is a multiverse earth somewhere that this actually happened….it could have happened here at one time

Someone has kept a low profile since stepping down.  Maybe he's been talking with Scott.

Once this is over you'll either be naming the board after him or you'll never see him here again.  At least that is my prediction after the last search and this one.

McDermott going for his 70th conference win in 5 years in a top 4 conference this weekend.  
 

Archie and Woody combined in 8 years has 73 conference wins currently

Always been on the McCollum train. I wrote a report on him back in December. 
 

That thing needs updated by the way.

He’s a former FSU player…been there done, that: it’s not a very good hire plus there’s a lot of questions surrounding FSU’s commitment to their basketball program.

Mad respect. I am assuming that you were a Colonel. Were you in the Marines, Air Force, or Army

Can’t claim that. Was referring to The General, Coach Knight. Meant absolutely no disrespect to my military brothers and sisters here, assuming there are plenty. Thought referencing “my general” and that famous quote of his would land, but I guess I should’ve said “The General.” Will second what Cubbie said though, a huge THANK YOU and sincere gratitude to our service members. We all thank you for fighting for this great nation and our freedom.

Alright this is the history teacher in me, but we are on page 1863.  It is one of my favorite years in American History.  That's the 3rd year of the American Civil War and the famous Battle of Gettysburg.  I am betting we hear about the next coach when we reach page 1944, which is my favorite year in history: WW2 and D-Day in Europe.  Let's go!

What HAVEN'T we argued about yet? History!!  How about this- Vicksburg was more important to ending the war than Gettysburg. Discuss. 

Here's some trivia for you: John Tyler was the 10th President, born in 1790. He has 2 grandsons that are still living! He had children late in life and so did his son. Remarkable.

What does this have to do with IU's coaching search? You know what John Tyler did not have? A beard.....make of that what you will.

Pam Whitten’s secretary is my aunt’s sister in law’s best friend’s neighbor’s cousin’s god mother. She said it’s Wittman’s job to lose. Isiah Thomas as GM. Woodson director of recruiting operations emeritus. Quinn wins again.

Don’t shoot the messenger ya’ll. 

Blink twice if Hornsby is there forcing you to post this and you need help.

The new Utah coach says he plans on finishing the season with the Mavs before going to Utah.  That's in mid April.  Seems like a terrible decision when the portal opens March 24th.  I think I'd want a refund if I was Utah.

At first cignetti said he was going to coach his upcoming bowl game and that quickly changed after it was announced lol. I expect the same to happen here

Too bad he’s no longer with us, RIP, but a game called by Bill Walton and Avery Johnson would have been a thing of beauty
