We need the exact opposite of this.  And we need a coach that will teach the players that the social media stuff is to be ignored.  No one on social media matters to the players.  Now, the coaches, that's a different story because we collectively as a fanbase have been trying to help Woodson from jump.  LOL.

But the @ player nonsense is just plain stupid.  If you aren't playing well and losing, stay off all that stuff and get in the gym.

Hopefully he’s not a Crean 2.0 and insecure about everything

I'm going to need to take a shower after saying this...but if we get down to the mid-major guys...hire Will Wade and don't look back.

How does anyone know who Scott Dolson's top targets are beyond Stevens?  I'm sorry, but I just don't think Dusty May was a clear #2.  He had 6 seasons at Florida Atlantic, only one anything special and his first 4 were.....not very good at all.   This season his team completely pee'd down their proverbial legs late and lost a championship which was theirs to lose.   Yet somehow he's a better candidate than McCollium who has by far the best resume of any coach in college basketball save Danny Hurley or maybe Tom Izzo?    I don't buy that for a second.

I don't think guys like Buzz Williams or Mick Cronin fit Indiana at all, but I'm not about to believe we settled regardless of who we get unless it DOES happen to be a retread like that who's never won anything.  Hell....I'd take Dane Fife with a great staff over Cronin or Williams.

Allegedly May and Pearl each would’ve taken the job last offseason, but QB interfered - again.  
 

I believe that’s where the May speculation, rightfully if true, started.  Plus his original buyout at UM could’ve supported that.

My stance hasn't changed. I would be shocked if it's Brownell. 

I don't think he'd be as bad a hire as people are trying to make him seem, i actually think he'd do well at IU with NIL and his ability to coach modern basketball/emphasize the 3 or shots at the rim. i just don't think he has ever been on Scott's short list of candidates and would have to be told 'no' several times (or choose not to pursue candidates after vetting) to get there.

remember, Rabby's/media's sources are agents and those in AAU/college coaching circles. Scott and about 3-5 other people actually know what's going on. Let's wait and see who the hire is

Yes, there has been mention of "Dolson has his guy" and "It's always been Brad". but none of them have ever said "done deal", at least, this go around.

Who really knows but read something several weeks ago they thought it could be Race Thompson?

I’m pretty sure Tony/e/I is IsaacTor. Behind the bench may also be them but probably not lol.

I do think Race is either Tyme or SDB.  that's my vote as well

This guy is very good.

Y'all like McCollum, Schertz, and Huss? You should like this guy too:

I'd truly be floored if it were a former player.

In year 1, Schertz took a St Louis team that went 13-20 (5-13) last year to 18-13 (11-7) in the Atlantic 10, arguably one the top 2-3 mid-major conferences. They went from a 2P% of 49.6% (209th in NCAA) to a 2P% of 59.5% (4th). He’s got them shooting 3s on 50.2% of their possessions (good for 6th in NCAA) while shooting 35.2% (103rd). He had players at ISU shooting 38.1% from 3 the year prior. I’m sure he will be able to do the same or close in year 2 at SLU if he’s there. This type of play jives well with AH.
 

What he’s been able to do there, and what he did before at Indiana State (in arguably the worst city in Indiana) say more than enough to me about what he can do at IU.

Someone has to say it sorry if already mentioned.  Over 100 Games LIKE HIS OWN POST please give the newcomer $hit, give him the business.

Wade with our NIL he would make some strong @$$ offers for sure.  The kids honestly like him, he's got a bit of a "youth' factor going on.

I've seen some of his coaching videos and he calls out the BS and preaches good stuff.  I would take this over a mid-major all day.  

The mid-major guy is gonna need a lot of help.

SDB has said he’s a former player. He said the other day if we didn’t hire Archie he probably would have never came to IU. So he is one of Archie’s recruits

I also would like/hope for Wade to get his fair shake at this if we are out of the TOP guys

He had a profile picture of a NASCAR..... D1 Basketball players aren't NASCAR fans or even think to use that as a front.

In fairness to JS, and I've also said this before, he's just kind of a quirky guy with a pretty different personality (for a CBB coach, anyway) and didn't do it in a "f*** you" type of way. He doesn't take himself seriously at all and is always clowning on himself, players, etc. I would assume if McCollum did the same thing in a presser it would come off in a VERY different way.

Now, does that type of guy work at IU? I have no idea and that was always my one question if JS ever became a serious candidate. Like McCollum, I've never once worried about the ball. It's everything else.
