I'm new to this board. Is this where we come to argue with each other?

Is Calhoun's health still the word for this coaching search?

Such as?

you have been one to share a lot on this search. What happened?

That’s what I’m trying to figure out

People should honestly start a “no stevens talk coaching candidate thread” that way the people who don’t want to see Stevens stuff can more easily sift through it than reading this thread. It’s annoying when people try to police other posters (not saying you’re doing that) 

How about a Stevens only thread for the crazies. Then the rest of us can discuss legitimate candidates.

But Stevens to IU does apparently? This is the double standard that has developed on this board lately that has caused division.

Free world, free board, Pearl, Beard, Stevens, May etc etc should all be open for discussion, not just one non candidate

Fair point. Stevens momentum definitely appeared real and dominated action but it seemed May,  Cronin and the D2 guys had some healthy discussions.  Bread, and I wish it weren’t so, has some things in his past that seem non starters for some.

No, I love IU basketball just like everyone else. I’d like to have a place to discuss it that isn’t fairy tale land. Gonna keep trying to pull this place forward. 

Nobody is forcing you to log in to this site and no one needs your help on anything

Chris beard would take us the to promised land. His name is not to be mentioned here though it seems.

Ok now you’re funny.  You amuse me.

Go back 100 pages or so, you’ll get all the Chris Beard you want.

Why is Cronin talking like we fired woodson? He is retiring our coaching search isn't the same as firing someone mid season!

Woodson got “retired”. He was fired

Cronin has had a really good run as well and is one of the top coaches in the sport. Certainly better than our last two coaches by a significant amount.

****, my dog is too.  No reason to talk about my dog though.

I still think we're focusing on the wrong things in this search.  Find the best candidate regardless of Midwest ties.  And eliminate Cronin

Would make more sense

Someone please refresh my memory. Why is it that people say we can’t get McCasland?

He'd be a good hire.  I think the fact that he has more of a Texas footprint and not Midwest concerns some people.

Please just throw a massive bag at Dusty:

proven winner and program builder

grinder who loves the game and the hustle
loves IU and is a a coach knight product

plays modern, fun basketball

openly gushes about IU and has had the opportunity to remove himself from the discussion and did not

I think a loaf of sourdough’s coaching style would get stale after a while.

I need to figure out how to start a thread with the people I believe/trust and weed out some of the stragglers, trolls and pessimists. 

[Unexpectedflash 1,231]

I did some more digging into McCollum and decided to look at his D2 teams 3 point attempts. In his last 3 title winning teams they averaged at least 25 3s a game and shot around 40% behind the arc. That was honestly my biggest concern with him but if we are guaranteed that volume of attempts from 3 even with the slow pace I would be perfectly happy with him.

Well that and also this apparent DM exchange:

That’s as sourceful as me asking my 1 year old if she pooped and she said no.

Being the reported boozehound, I thought he'd be more of a rye guy...

Stevens is not a candidate because he's already accepted the job. Optimism rules!

[HoosierInParadise 707]

You have to acknowledge that Dolson has not said a word, nor has he hinted, intimated or suggested that he was doing the Stevens dance... all of the reporting is from the insiders that may or may not be getting factual information, and from the flight trackers, dreamers and insider wannabes...
I'm not saying that Dolson hasn't been in contact with Stevens or his representatives, but it's not like Dolson is standing outside his bedroom window holding a boombox over his head blaring love songs and pining for Stevens to give him the time of day.

Maybe he should go the boom box route....wouldn't hurt...

This is not directed at Alford Bailey, as he is a longtime and respected poster.  But this would be a good test.  Do we think AH, the ghost, and some of the other newer guys would be able to stay out of a Brad Stevens discussion only post?
