Maybe I am the only one on this hill but Nate Oats is not as high on my list as probably others. His teams are pretty shotty on the defensive end more often than not.

114 in 19-20

3 in 20-21

92 in 21-22

3 in 22-23

111 in 23-24

47 this year. 

 

Is that 47 an update after giving up 110 last night?

Just need a Jimmy Chitwood saying he will only play for IU if Dusty coaches 

Sounds like a role for Braylon Mullins.

Did you question why IU didn't hire him when he was 47-41 his first 3 years at FAU and that he might actually be upset about not getting the IU job then?  And you think with that mentality he's worried about failing here?  Seems like two different peoples brains Dusty May has. I don't want a split personality coach. 

He has no real reason on paper to leave the Big 10 school he’s currently winning at and about to get a raise from just because IU is his alma mater. Would be cool if he did. Just would be surprising to me. Maybe he won’t want to deal with UM’s strict academic requirements for transfers and what not. The IU job for sure has better resources available financially. But he’s got a good thing rolling already. Maybe it’s a losers mentality to quit after a year on a team you built at a university that wanted you so you can crawl home to a school that told you no thanks just last year. Maybe the competitor in him says Dolson and IU can kick rocks, I’m gonna be Michigan’s Bob Knight. Hope not. 

We’ll see who we hire in about a month.

Yes they were in 30s or around 40 before I believe

Yeah, it’s how Indiana does things. KathyWithaC probably could fill in the rest. Lol.

This certainly seems like it’s been a process.

Background checks, PR strategy, behind the scenes logistics, etc. “Search firm” isn’t a very good title for what they actually do. 

We shall dub them a “search discreetly”.

Done. Deal.

Sleep tight BTown Banners, I have a hunch there will be lots of happy faces around here in, oh, I’ll say 10 business days. Just a hunch…

And you might be right but like I said, if that's his mentality he doesn't need to be here.

Is the search firm a formality? I'd have to think Dolson has his own list. 

I kind of thought it was to form a list of backup options if Stevens and May don’t work out?

[coonhounds 10,555]

It kind of looks like he’s lost his fastball this season.

Imo time will tell. All the greats have their quirks. He has done alot so far. Having a bad year some bad characteristics come out. Time will tell where it goes. You win a couple championships you get to act a fool imo. Flash in the pan? Or a future legend?

At least announce yourself as a troll before entering with whatever this is. This ain’t the minor leagues

No offense but you are hereby considered a troll invader of the North until you can prove otherwise.
