Scott Drew is very likely plan B or beyond already.  Bronwell would be somewhere around plan k or so in a competent search list .  You don’t think Dolson has more than one person above Bronwell that he’s reached out to?  Smh…

Reached out too or been turned down? May and Stevens aren't coming to IU. Neither is Pearl, neither is Oats, neither are a bunch of these other names being floated. And if we aren't going to go after Cronin and refuse to talk to guys like Wade/Beard, this is what your candidate list most likely appears as of today

Tier A

Drew/Otzelberger (don't see him leaving Ames)

Tier B

Brad Brownell

Tier C

McCollum/Byington

You're vastly overestimating the IU job and how it pertains to certain candidates.

You could have just said, “you’re right Bronwell isn’t plan B, he was much farther down the list”

edit:  you should learn to use words like probably, likely, or qualifiers such as I believe, I think, etc.

Huh. I finally agree on something you have posted. May and Stevens are not going to be at IU next year…..

Would guess Dolson and the administration consider Brownell a much more practical candidate than most on here. They are the ones that actually have a finger on the pulse of the situation. Those guys have to deal in reality, not fantasy land like these thread has become for the last month.

“Would guess” - well done….

I can buy Brownell as a fall back candidate . He has ties to the state . And Dolson could sit at the podium at this press conference and make an argument (a weak one ) but an argument that he fits the criteria put out by the athletic department at the beginning of the search . Especially if he makes a bit of a run this year . I’m in no way throwing my support and I think he would be right back here in 4 years if he’s the hire . Just too inconsistent to be successful at IU . 
 

but because the athletic department laid out certain criteria for their new coach to me that automatically disqualifies guys like Groce , Pitino jr , or McCollum . For different reasons they all don’t make the criteria and Dolson wouldn’t be adamant about showing. Program legend like Woodson the door to hire John freaking Groce, Jr, or D2 wonder boy. 
 

0 percent chance

Leaking names like Groce, Alford, Pitino Jr, is what happens when you're about to hire Brad Brownell

Or when you're threatening the fan base to stay in line. 'If you're not careful, this is what you're going to get!'

Isn't that what we've all being doing for the last 800 pages lol?

Most reasonable posters, yes.  But some portray their guesses as fact & absolute, as you have done many times.  For example “Stevens & May aren’t coming” a few posts back from you.  There is a distinction between posting conjecture vs sourced/inside information, regardless of its veracity or whether one chooses to believe it.

This should be true for all posts on this board.

If jobs at UNC, Kansas, UConn, UCLA, Syracuse, Louisville, Arizona,  or maybe Illinois, etc. -- schools that are generally considered better at basketball than football -- opened, would Brad Brownell be considered a candidate? Highly doubtful -- or if so, only because of recency bias (Clemson did make the Elite Eight last year and is having a great season this year).

But in 14 seasons at Clemson, Brownell had made four NCAA tourneys. 

If he weren't from Indiana, his name would never be mentioned in connection with IU. 

 

I mean 

UNC---promoted Hubert Davis (no prior HC experience)

UConn---hired Dan Hurley Wagner/Rhode Island

UCLA----hired Mick Cronin Cincinnati (after whiffing on 10-15 other candidates)

Syracuse---promoted Red Autry (no prior HC experience)

Louisville--hired Pat Kelsey Winthrop/College of Charleston 

Arizona---hired Tommy Lloyd (no prior HC experience)

Illinois---hired Brad Underwood Stephen F Austin/Oklahoma State

Why wouldn't Brad Brownell be considered?

Pros and Cons of Brad Stevenson not being announced as IU's HC in waiting Sunday March 2 3 pm foxsports.

Pros: @Chris007 gets proper rests for an amazing week of work

Con: Absolutely everything else happening on the entire planet.

Um, he wasn't -- for any of those. Which was my point. 

Nobody would associate his name with IU if he weren't from Indiana.
