……I’m a HS teacher in southern Indiana and I just saw a student wearing a Boston Celtics hoody in the hallway. 
Does that mean anything! lol

BGleas?

Haha, not me. I don't live in Indiana, but stoked to hear there are more of us IU/Celtics fans out there.

Re-read what I wrote... four of the five others are candidates I haven’t seen mentioned here (though I haven’t read all of this thread). 
 

my strong sense at this point is it’ll be Brownell for what it’s worth…

There is absolutely no way. None. I don’t see how that’s possible.

For the record, I was asking BGleas for his opinion on the matter, not wondering if the kid in the hoodie is BGleas.....

That’s like telling people you didn’t call the bank shot. Just let it roll!

He accidentally out-trolled himself earlier and now is throwing out as much nonsense as he can to cover his trail. It’s a classic late-stage troll maneuver.

Also Purdue when they get matched up against a couple aggressive, athletic guards.

It is cruising along nicely... Almost to 1800 pages! Just 400 more pages to comfortably pass the 'Retire Coach Woodson' thread.

 He's no where near SD 1st choice because he knows IU fans are not shortsighted and will look past just the last 2 years especially considering how down the ACC has been. 

He is the hire that makes me go "yep that's IU basketball the last decade" so I don't think that's who it would be I think Dolson VERY determined to shake that very trend  BUT unfortunately it also wouldn't surprise me

Or a team with ANY interior scoring threat...

Good point. It was a reflex due to how sensitive everyone has gotten on this board....I'll do better.

Other than the Pacers I've seen more Celtic gear in Indiana than any other pro franchise in my lifetime.  Obviously due to Larry.

It's too early to be breaking out this gif

I can hear the conference now, "allow me to introduce the men's basketball coach, Brad Brownell. If you'll excuse me I need to start the next coaching search, see you in 4 years".

I did see the post it’s always been Brad. I was just looking for something more substantial. If that’s all we’ve got, then I guess it’s better than nothing. RTZ coming in hot! 

And it's always just Brad. That way, when Brad Brownell is announced that coveted inside info was solid all along.

Coach searches are typically fun, we’ve had a lot of fun on here in the past after Archie was fired. 
 

Problem is this time around Woodson was fired with a month left in the season so naming a new head coach wasn’t going to happen for a while, nor will we find out for a while still. 
 

Patience is key. Dolson didn’t fire Woodson to hire an assistant, or a former Indiana star (Alford), and likely not for an up and coming coach (Ben). Dolson made his move at a time where he felt he was confident in proceeding with a search. I firmly believe Dolson has his guy and now its just a matter if when the season concludes for the team.
