Scott was good and kept it close to the vest. This isn’t floating anything to soften blows. This has been done for a bit. 

Who is it?

Ben McCollum. Generational coach….. who gives a **** about pace. How about WINS?

That was the biggest takeaway for me too. I wanted to believe the smoke from earlier this week. 

(And before anyone says it again, I believe Goodman. Sue me for believing the national guy even if I don’t like him)

I completely get the skepticism and why.  His style isn’t like that in a situation like that if he didn’t hear first hand or from the agent.  So I choose to believe that tidbit unfortunately.

Haha. I’ll admit if I’m wrong. But too many coincidences lead me to believe this is and has been done for a few weeks. 
 

how come each leak gets debunked quickly?

How has a done deal with the sitting President of Basketball Operations for the Boston Celtics not been leaked? Especially if it’s been done for a few weeks?

If Goodman truly doesn’t have sources that have good info, he’s a real idiot for posting a definitive list of who it won’t be.  Chances are, he’s got decent info, & the leaks that start to come out are meant to soften the blow of a disappointing or polarizing hire…

[ronzo4IU 241]

I sure hope it’s Brad, but I would say that  Ben McCollum dude sure does know him some basketball.
The fighting Dustys are sure on a skid, yikes!

The mccollum love because he won at d2 still is baffling given our need to win big right away. I kind of wish cig never happened it really seems to have convinced some McCullough is a sure thing

That is the problem thinking we have to win big early. Do you want a quick fix or have long term stability.

Why would he care about softening our blow?

I could get behind him.  Replaced all players but one on the previous years team.  Set the school record for wins in a season.  If IU doesn’t get him, someone else will and soon.

There’s some concerns with me regarding Ben, that’s revolves around style of play. Consider these rankings in the B1G / P4 basketball. 
 
337 in D1 in 3PT ATTEMPTS / GAME

363 in D1 IN FGA ATTEMPTS / GAME

364 in D1 in PACE

OFFENSIVE RATING - 51

DEFENSIVE RATING - 31

That doesn’t get me excited. It doesn’t sound fun to watch although I watched the game today and it was pretty fundamental.

Lol, Goodman won’t be doing the leaking…

[Scotty R 2,939]

I am just wondering if we are just delusional or we just don't really pay attention to college basketball. Big time coaches don't need or want to come here because they can already succeed where they are right now. With the comment how we have the win right away just shows our mentality and why coaches might not want to coach here.
