Maybe he went down there to dissuade Sisley from coming? Just kidding.

Nah, he needed Trent to be his caddy while he played a couple of rounds in Florida weather.

Are Rabby's connections with Woodson and the coaching staff or Dolson?  I believe Rabjohns was the one that floated the rumors on Dane's firing.  

I think for the longest time it was Kenya until last season.

Was Kenya told to shut up by Woody, or did he do so, because of Rabby being honest/frank about Woody's failures?

99% of the candidates are in season right now. Any conversations with them would be very informal and likely just with agents.

IU is going to help get a lot of coaches paid this year!

I'm not the world's biggest fan of Cronin, but i could see Dolson really liking him given the basketball environment he was part of at IU.  I could also see Cronin bringing Fife back as an assistant.  I think the two of them would get along very well.

Maybe his brings Lewis down from Muncie? Top assistant. IU guy can definitely help recruit the state he hasn’t been exactly killing it a Ball State as the HC .

I think for how he treated Woody last season.

IMHO, that "treatment" was warranted. Light reveals truth.

He’s not even listed on the latest hot board for coaches. Don’t hold your breath…though I would be in favor of the hire

I choose that 2032 asteroid getting here ahead of schedule. 

Brownell is a legit candidate so be prepared

Lewis was on his original staff at UCLA, I believe, so I could see that.

My hope is that two weeks after the Celtics won the NBA Championship, Dolson called Stevens and said "Congratulations on winning the NBA Championship!  Now, are you ready to win an NCAA Championship because the IU job is going to be open next year". 

Yep and I feel like that’s exactly what’s happening.

I don’t know why, but every time I see Sadeseci’s avatar I think of coach Tony Bennett lol

Brownell screams “IU hire,” so I’m not surprised in the slightest. I think IU can’t disappoint more than it already has, but IU always finds a way.

I am not a huge fan, but I will say his willingness to burn whatever access he had (or didn't) to go on record with HH and call a spade a spade with the state of the Woody experiment scored some points with me. No idea how well sourced he is or isn't since I have never been a Peegs person beyond casual lurking on the free board. 

Serious question - are you actually able to access a Peegs free board anymore?

First off I get so tired of his use of soft chatter, my intel and things like that. 
Also does he not find it weird that there not much noise of Dolson really talking to anyone yet? 

Has Rabby addressed how unusual it is that Dolson is scheduling non-conference games for next season without consulting with his head coach?

Brownell's agent is trying to get him paid and/or raise his profile following the elite eight appearance. Zero shot he is under any serious consideration right now. He certainly could be if literally no one wants the job, but as of now, I don't think so. I imagine we will see several other names pop up the longer this goes that make zero sense. It happens every coaching search.

Yeah, sure he is. Just because a few donors have tossed his name out and IU is vetting him doesn’t make him a real candidate
