@Chris007 so do I have this timing right?

Hoosiers wrap up a W by 6

 

Celtics play tonight. 
 

Rumors of Brad coming will probably start leaking around mid afternoon tomorrow?

Or will it wait til the main tournament is over?

Ahhh, was trying to think of an actual coach. Knowing what I know about this recruitment and how much the kid loves Hurley, I don’t think it matters today who we hire. Could be wrong but the connection I have I ask him to lose the question a month ago and he laughed at me and said forget it.

Wonder what the UCONN and Alabama fans thought when they hired Hurley from Rhode Island and Oates from Buffalo. Do you think they thought they would win championships and make final fours when they got hired

RMK Army to IU

Coach K Army to Duke

Calhoun Northeastern to UCONN 

Izzo Assistant to MSU

Boheim Assistant to Syracuse 

Roy Williams Assistant to Kansas

Stevens Butler to the Celtics 

I see most of the all time coaches went from mid major to the big time and succeeded 

The problem is the odds are even or even better they completely flop. Whether IU can risk that again when there are conceivably options more guaranteed to provide stability with potentially unknown or lower ceiling is what Dolson is going to have to weigh.

And we know that HC is still talking to Mullins family. 

Yes. Accepting the meeting at all means door is open. His dad wouldn’t allow it if they are concrete

Our NIL group has talked to the Mullins family more than once since the Purdue game. Talks went well. But he’s not leaving Hurley for just anyone.

If that’s the case then why would someone speak on multiple occasions if HC didn’t have Stevens or May lined up?

You still thinking/assuming that Brad is the guy still? Isnt that who you are on the side of?

NIL collectives are allowed to have discussions with recruits who have signed NLIs to another school?

Agree about EVH,he was a demon on the guitar...also agreed on wanting a "right now" kinda coach,I'm getting along in years too and would love to see a few good seasons of IU basketball with my Grandsons before they plant me in my forever hole in the dirt...are there any VH tribute bands that do Roth and Hagar VH tributes?

Regarding #4,  Eddies great and certainly recognizable, won’t argue his status in the top 5.  

But these guys are just as recognizable off the top of my head.  That’s an easy 10:

Jerry Garcia

Stevie Ray Vaughn

Slowhand

Duane Allman

Trey Anastasio

Jimi Hendrix

Kirk Hammett

Angus Young

Billy Gibbons

David Gilmour

My question is which one of them is going to play at the Brad Stevens press conference, announcing him the new coach of our Indiana Hoosiers.

[IUHAHN81 3,083]

In the words of George Thorogood, IU is gonna be "Brad to the Bone" next year!

There is a risk on any coach we hire

Beard off the court stuff plus he has been very average besides two years

McCollum lack of D1 experience 

TJO wonder what happened in his two years at UNLV

Drew wonder what his relationship is with the AAU coaches in Indiana. His record since his championship

I didn't think collectives were allowed to talk to recruits until the player signs with your team.

Now do the list of ones who didn't succeed.  Can we take bets on which one is longer?

Collectives can talk to whoever they want when they want. They are not an official arm of the university.

Just saying the all time great coaches all started out at a lower level. If you think a coach is going to be great then it shouldn't matter where they come from.

Well sure but wouldn’t the comparison be better served for the top successful coaches that came from another P5 conference already? That list is pretty short too. 
 

Sampson

Buzz Williams

Pearl

Underwood 

Self

 

a quick glance at just the top 25 and without further research that’s the list I see.

I'm guessing year round tampering is just status quo at this point. Seems strange that would be "allowed" not that the NCAA probably has any interest in getting in free market pissing match with players, agents, and collectives.
