How does anyone know that?

True.....just based on the trends in the message board which as you are alluding to, could be completely wrong 100%

He's repeating things we've heard the last week. Time will tell...if it's him, Brownell, Mcdermott or any other...again, I find it hard to believe Dolson's legacy pick is going to be someone that is about as risky as a hire as you can get, as well as Iowa's backup...but obviously, we'll see how it all turns out. This has been an excellent search with very little coming out.

No one does. Also, we have had rumor after rumor about everyone but plenty of rumors have been to get other coaches extended and paid. Plenty have been people just guessing. Almost everyone says that they don't really know and Dolson has kept info tight.

Ugh.

Just when I thought the vibes were getting better, we're back to McCollum vs Collins vs Brownell. 

It'll be an interesting couple days. Glad we have the conference tournaments to distract us.

Is that all Trilly says is there is smoke with BM.  Is there nothing more to it? Just more smoke. 

If you get smoke with a BM, you might be pushing too hard...

He’s not my top pick but he is the best coach in NW history, does lots with less. 

World’s tallest midget

Question for you, Chris, AP and others with connections... how does this play out if we're out of the dance? Do we have to play in that Crown thing? How does that impact moving forward with a coach, the portal, etc? From where I sit, the timing will be tricky and critical.

If iu is in ncaa tourney there would be no announcement until iu is eliminated. Them playing in any tourney below it? no clue. thats regardless of who the coach is, assuming said coach isnt coaching in ncaa tourney

IU would not be above that with him “retiring” in the NIL era if the coach they were after wasn’t still playing.  Us not having a public symbol of a coach harms us with the portal.

Trilly just said the names he’s hearing other than McCollum are Brownell and Collins. 
 

Collins is intriguing…

If Dolson fires Woodson and comes back with ******* Brad Brownell, we might as well drop NIL to a million for the basketball team and see what Cignetti can do for us in football with some more money.  I can't think of a less inspiring hire than that and Collins isn't too much above that IMO.

Crown doesn't start until March 31st.  Half our team will be in the portal by then.  We aren't playing in that.

Yep.  We will not have more than 4-6 players at that point.  Will not happen.  Unless they want team managers.

I have no idea what the Crown is. Does that take place in England? Do I get fish n chips for watching? F*ck the Crown. Let's hire BS and shock the CBB world

If it came to it yes iu might announce day before portal opens for said reason. but correct me if im wrong the portal opens after the second round starts and iu isn't going that far

If Brownell took Indiana to the elite 8 last year and had them in the top 10 this year, how would you feel? I'm not saying I would be doing cartwheels for BB, I definitely would not, but if we're comparing Brownell, Collins, etc. You don't have to squint to see the case for Brownell the past 2 seasons.

This guy literally just repeats things he sees on message boards. He is not an insider. He has no special knowledge of the coaching search. He’s a Peegs subscriber and posts there often.

Hell at this point I am reminding Billy Donovan he either has a top 10 pick or they lose it with an awful roster and not many picks.
