This. If Dolson already doesn't know quite a bit about each of the coaches on the list, prior to hiring the search firm, then he hasn't been doing his job. 

He already knew he would be hiring a new coach this year. Heck, he should have already been ready to hire a new bball coach last year.

What we now know:

the jackal signature is from his uncle

the dmv is from his aunt.  No, I mean he is ant.

Does this buyer group help or hurt people’s hopes?

I have it on good authority Brad Stevens hates both Stan Middleman and Bill Chisholm.  So we should root for them.  (This is a s***post)

I personally find it hard to believe that Scott doesn't already have it wrapped up this close to portal time. He may not have it signed officially due to timing and certain situations but I'd like to think he knows who it is going to be.

You want McDermott over Stevens?

I don’t know, man. Dude struggled for a minute during the Bush/Obama years. Not sure he’s what we’re looking for here.

Cmon.. no lol 

McDermott isn't outside of my top 5-6 realistic options, though.

It's pretty obvious it's going to him or mccollum. Both are disappointing to me but I'll give them a few years. I don't think anyone has the patience for a four year rebuild.

I would take Pat Knight over Brownell. With him it will be a 18-20yr rebuild, based on his history. 

Hiring Brownell will create mass apathy. He's only being mentioned because he was born in Indiana, which is ridiculous.

Or we ignore that he's been in a P5 conference for ... check notes.... 11 years. Haha

Just so you guys know, there is at least one, person within the athletic office who has perused this board today, and are thoroughly laughing their @$$ off at some of this stuff. Keep it up, some of you making quite the name for yourself lol 

We’ve made our intentions clear, we all know who we want. 
 

If it’s not Brad Stevens or Jay Wright, go ahead and cancel the program and invest in the WBB program. Each of us have approved of this idea. Any other names outside those mentioned above can coach at Tri North Middle School if they want.

That's if the admin at Tri North Middle are even open to changing coaches...they probably don't want Turgeon either. That middle school coach will be mentioned as the next IU hire later this evening by someone on this board.

Then they didn't do their job with MT....he should have been eliminated.

Eliminated along with Brownell.

I wasn’t aware of that.  We can all continue.  Nobody calls Chris007 a fool.

Finally some betting odds.  Interesting.

Where's Turgeon!? I guess Ant Wright @TheDMV was trolling just as we thought.

[IndianaSconnie90 660]

The odds aren't surprising. Given the slow bleed of information regarding the "top tier" coaches not interested, McDermott and McCollum were the likely candidates out of the rest. Thought it was hilarious that Stevens wasn't even on that list. Kind of like he's not been that close all along. Looks like I'm watching Drake and Creighton from here on out fellas.
