You called him a nut job for being religious lol.

 

Why revive something from 8 hours ago that’s already been put to bed? “Proving a point” in your head? …

Thought we had our first real Billy D rumor but he and James’ timelines didn’t match up in OKC :(

Let’s say for a minute it’s not Stevens and it’s not an active college coach … it does open the door for Billy D (who is in NBA purgatory), Jay Wright, TB (highly doubt), etc.

Well done gumshoe

I don't want to carry water for Chris.  But calling somebody a religious nutjob and a nutjob for being religious are not the same thing. 

I also said I had no problem with his coaching. I have family members who fall into the nutjob category

There is talk among the staff that a certain coach is being lobbied for heavily by Dolson.  Think James Harden.

Bobby Hurley?

Buddy of mine well-connected in Texas just called me to tell me he's hearing Joel Osteen is getting some consideration from Indiana. Could be nothing. Just thought I'd pass that along.

It's Beard, as mentioned above.

I’ve heard they are worried about senior day because he’s told people he wants to tell his side.

I've stated that concern.  People with no self-actualization always think things are about them.  Senior day is meant to be about the seniors but I am going to be shocked if Woody doesn't use his mic time to point the finger at people who dared to blame him and then take swipes at people he doesn't consider 'true fans'. 

I fully expect that he isn't going to receive the reaction he thinks he would if he pulls that.  I was there for senior day last year and most of the crowd had cleared out before he spoke.

[lillurk 5,089]

I’m like extreeeeeemely convinced it won’t be Beard so it’s interesting that two people claiming to have some connections said it was him today. I’m still extremely convinced it’s not him.

There it is. Wow, wonder if Dolson can pull it off. 

I spoke to a UT alum today … I didn’t realize that Beards fiancé/girlfriend at the time also had her issues. (Im not excusing him whatsoever, but sounds like she had some things to work on as well)

I could be talked into it. He comes with a private jet and a rabid fanbase that can pump in an infinite amount of money.

Just got off the line with a friend that's close to CMW. He said both Drew and Stevens are definitely out. Also no Beard due to off court history concerns. He states Greg McDermott is one name that hasn't been floating around that Dolson is focused on.

I hope you’re wrong.

I want to make a bet our next coach WON'T be Greg McDermott.   Is he ready to re-negotiate his contract any time soon?

I hope you're right.I prefer someone younger also.

The potential Lakewood Church to IU pipeline would send shockwaves through the college basketball world.

Ugh.

68 conference wins in a top 4 conference 3 sweet 16 with one of those being an elite 8 appearance with a 1 pt loss to go to the Final 4.  Down year still made the round of 32 and TBD on this year.   All that in a 5 year period. Yep sign me up all day everyday.   A coach that can produce that is a coach that can compete for a national title.

I doubt it too but he’s a perfect fit other than that one thing.  If Beard was a choir boy I’d probably choose him over Brad if I was Dolson.

What would this board do if Woody got up and went on a religious rant?

I’d say it’s more likely he goes on a rant about cork taint.
