That is what I believed at first as well. When the Steven's stuff really ramped up I believed it because it is the only thing that made sense. To me dolson had conversations last year and Steven's said he would come if given time. Dolson decided to keep woodson and pass on dusty to wait for Steven's. Now that the Steven's stuff has pretty much been curb stomped into the ground i am realizing this is just another iu epic blunder. I admire the posters who say they aren't worried cause they know we are going to get a great coach. Lol this is iu we are probably not going to hire a great coach! Imo we will probably downgrade again and be trying to debate who was worse. Davis crean Archie woodson or bronwell

I agree with this and I hope it’s not true. Like I said, I hope it is Brad Stevens because that’s the only thing that makes sense because Dusty May was the perfect hire for IU last year.

It's IU. A coach can't just prove they're not good enough, they need time to make a complete mess of things. That's part of the process.

Stevens may not come and may never have been a candidate but “curb stomped”. So dramatic. Only real update is from that soft Goodman tweet.

Collins has made the tourney 3 times in 12 years. I get it northwestern is hard to win at but the results we would expect from him would be such a big jump from what he currently has done in his career. Him and brownell  are the two “candidates” i would struggle to get excited for. Thankfully i don’t think Scott would consider collins

How many times had Northwestern made the tourney  prior to Collins being coach. Never I believe is the answer . He is the most successful coach in the history of there program. I would love to see him at IU there is never a team in the Big that plays harder than Northwestern.

Sure as heck won’t be tomorrow. Probably 3 weeks away and the Woodson is going to fumble his way into the tournament. 
Yep he will sneak in as like a 11 seed.

I know exactly what's gonna come out of the IU athletic department at 3 p.m. tomorrow:

Even if we do "have our man," there's about a 0% chance any announcement comes until after the season -- whether it ends in the first round of the B1G tournament in Indy or at the Final Four in San Antonio. LOL.

Uhm...in reading the above post...

Nothing in the first few sentences is proven.  Then there is one good sentence about admiring posters that are not worried and believe we will get a great coach.  

I am not worried.  Worry means that someone or something is controlling the worrier.

It is all speculation at this point.  Unconfirmed at our level.  

Too much noise out there to get all worked up, imho.

Yes, IU has degraded the IU basketball brand.  And the name of Indiana University in many people's eyes.  

So suck it up buttercup.  Think about something else.  

Let us dream of the magical sparkle pony dusting IU basketball.  Or dream of our Ahab actually landing the great white whale...Moby Brad.

Your comment about Woodson fumbling his way into the tournament reminded me of this Seinfeld quote:

Kramer goes to a fantasy camp? His whole life is a fantasy camp. People should plunk down $2000 to live like him for a week. Do nothing, fall @$$-backwards into money, mooch food off your neighbors and have sex without dating. THAT'S a fantasy camp.

With a couple tweaks, its not far off :)

I don't get the "he would be amazing with IU's resources!" line of thinking. If the resources are so great, why haven't there been decent results over the last 25 years? Shouldn't the resources elevate even a crap coach? Or were the resources nonexistant until this year? 

NIL...

I was wondering who was going to be the first to point this out.  It is like there are a bunch of purdue jockstraps in here who have never known how to read a calendar. 

Well, it is the eve of March 2nd Day

Final four lol. I got about as good of a chance of winning the lottery as Woodson does making a final four.
