And a coach that would let them shoot the 3

Hilarious. I had the pleasure of traveling to Ann Arbor for the IU game with some buddies in 2017.

Walking out of the Crisler Center with our heads down, a kind usher stopped us and hit us with the same Mrs. Lincoln line. We couldn’t help but laugh!

I was there the year prior for the 28-0 run game, happier times:

I’ve seen my share of blowouts in the wrong direction but mainly at Breslin.

Wish I could’ve flip-flopped! I was at Kilroy’s and a company was there doing a promotion with free shots for every IU made 3. Did not feel great the next day!

The money has been raised if we want to move on.

I've heard that...I've also heard from family they've gotten calls. I definitely am sure the latter is true and the former could be just only heard it from a guy I've met in person once

[Stuhoo 88,273]

All of y’all that criticized the choice of Dolson?

Remember, a major part of being a successful AD is the ability to raise money.

That is Scott Dolson’s wheelhouse.

Any idea if the names of potential coaches come up in these calls?

He’s only 41. Graduated from Cal Berkeley in three years as an academic All-American.

Leonard Hamilton was never thought to be a good coach...until he got Dennis Gates.

Leonard Hamilton didn’t attract 5 stars, until Dennis Gates brought them in.

Dennis Gates took over a team that was sooooo bad, he was conference coach of the year, while going 11-21, 7-11 in conference.

He followed that by going 17-7, 16-4 in conference this year.

He is smart, relates to the kids, is a badass recruiter, and exudes leadership in every imaginable way.

He’s also smart enough to have brought an old grey haired basketball lifer along as his assistant. That guy’s name? Dickey Nut. That IU could have Peter Jurkin followed by Dickey Nut in ten years should be enough in itself.

 

 

I’m interested

No, certainly didn't hear that

“The latter is true” meaning it’s time to call the moving company?

Yup, to no avail though

Wonder if he thinks he’s got bigger fish on the line? Could just be that he can afford to be choosy for a top-tier spot, even if he doesn’t have anything lined up

Waiting for the right opportunity. I believe he interviewed for UGA before Crean

[hoosierpap 14,300]

Point being...he's open to a comeback if it's the right situation

Any idea if he’s healthy enough? I could be convinced that he has some juice left if he’s healthy enough to recruit

Sign me on for him if he is healthy and can recruit still

Were hearing on here that thad can barely walk to and from his seats at butler games but also hearing he wants to coach division 1 again. Something doesn't add up. Hopefully he doesn't just need money and we fall for it

Not surprised buyout money has been raised. Hoping Archie and IU can come to a mutual agreement.

I hope IU can get a legit coach!
