If we're not a good enough program anymore, where we can't get a Stevens, May, Pearl, Oats, Drew, Golden, TJ, or McDermott(maybe few more), then we've solidified ourselves as "once a blue blood" program.

Top money for a coach/coaches

Top NIL money

Top fanbase(pro or con)

The money to upgrade facilities where needed?

We need a homerun -Brownell is far from it

 

If we can’t get this level then you just have to go NFL coach route. Pick the next up and comer - McCollum, Schertz, DaVries and it’ll be not stop 4 year cycles until you hopefully hit.

BRING BRUCE TO BLOOMINGTON! 
 
 

I'm totally on board with this. Also helps with irritating Illinois because they hate him. So taking Brad Underwood or hiring Bruce Pearl would make for some great game day environments with them.

Hova, is that you?

If Steven’s said he’s not a candidate then that would be the most important words that Steven’s would say regarding the job. But Steven’s wasn’t quoted as saying that. He said he was happy working with the Celtics. None of that has anything to do with the IU job. To me that means the door is still very much open and that was put out as a way to quiet everything down. 

That's what I said in a previous post, I agree with you.

What are you all even talking about?  How delusional are you??

We're Indiana fuggin University.  We run college basketball.  I mean, even the rumors of us hiring the GM of the NBA champion seemed real enough that he commented on it.  We've got massive NIL, best facilities in the world, most intelligent fans.  

And you're all trying to hire coaches from tiny schools?  They're not like us.  Some coach from Iowa State?  Where even is that?  Drake?  That's a Canadian singer.  Clemson?  Do they even play basketball there??

All I'm saying is we deserve the best.  

For the first time in my life, having a hot sister is paying off.  She attracts rich dudes and this one has connections.  Rumors has it that UNC knows that we're on the prowl for a new coach and they know they're not as good as us.  They're going to give us their coach.  I think his name is Hubie Brown or Davis or something.  I'm sure you guys know him.

So there you go.  Search szn is over.  Give it a couple days, I hear Hubie is a big Presidents Day fan so expect the signing on Tuesday.  Probably 3:30.  

Indica or sativa?

No, but I lived in Illinois for a portion of my life and didn't enjoy their fanbase.

So now this board is going to Implode because one  guy who has been wrong so many times says something about Brownell. Some of you are so gullible and wanting info you will believe anything. I can promise you that Dolson isn't going around telling everybody around campus what his plans are. SMH!!!!!

I don’t think the board is imploding. I think the consensus is that Brad brownell would be a very disappointing hire if it happened.

My take on this is one of my sons best friends is one of the beat writers for IUBB for the media school. He is close with Goodman’s daughter. He was throwing are that it was a done deal is group chats and snap chats. Talia probably took that and asked her dad if it was true. Jeff then asked Brad and that statement came out. JMO

Tell that young man to not get out over his skis next time unless he wants to be the next Justin Albers.

At least we can all agree on some candidates that belong on the bottom of the list or not on it at all.

Never gonna happen in Bloomington in a million years, but some AD who’s secure in his position and doesn’t care about winning the presser, maybe 1 of the 2 Florida schools, is gonna take Shaheen Holloway out of that Seton Hall NIL hellscape and in 2 or 3 years is gonna look pretty freaking smart. I know it’s his alma mater, but he’s a really good coach and that’s a really bad deal and he’s not going to stay there and get his brains beat in for 15 years because they have no money. 

I like Holloway. Also Claxton fwiw

I’m trying to picture a scenario where two former Indiana basketball student managers sit down, one offers the other the HC job and he says no thanks I’d rather stay at Michigan. I guess anything can happen.

Good stuff and my bad.  I know Hovadipo really despises the orange as well. I should have properly typed out his name.

[BlueDevil 9,251]

As a guy that watches ACC basketball Clemson is on the short list of teams that I don’t want to play. Brownell is doing pretty good at a shithole program like Clemson. However, I agree with most it’s just not the hire that needs to be made.

I dont see anybody imploding, just  bunch of people who hate Brad Brownell. I read what Chris said as it was just a guess from whoever that person was.  Not that Scott Dolson said anything about hiring Brad Brownell specifcally.  It could have been something like "these are different types of guys I'm looking at: guy who has a lot of experience at a P5 school; Brad Brownell, Buzz Williams. Guys who have had success but not at the highest level; Ben McCollum, etc.  

As an official member of the Brad Brownell hate club, I am forced to overreact whenever his name is mentioned.

I don’t know about the AAU call. This is a board of former IU athletes that Dolson had to meet with every other week to discuss hirings. Just like the woman’s soccer coach last week. He doesn’t need their approval but he does have to discuss the process with them. Do I believe he’s giving them specific information? No I don’t. 

I wonder if it just means Barnwell is on his list of candidates and if others say no and it gets to him then that’s when he would be hired

I like Clemson in the short term because they beat Duke not too long ago which gave me a little burst of joy, otherwise I'm ambivalent on them lol
