I can assure you there are people under Dolson sending out false flags.

100% these people are either getting bits and pieces of the real story or aren’t getting anything but using their position around the situation to seem relevant to their friends.

if folks signed NDAs but are still leaking info on the daily to their friends for them to pump gifs on a message board then Dolson needs to reevaluate  his inner circle

Seems like Collins will be interested, I think McCollum might be too (just a hunch).

I don't see McCollum being interested in Villanova

You just made my point. No one here is asking anything. Just spending time saying nonsense. I was hoping for news or insight. Not just look at me posts.

It’s really smart to come to a message board when looking for real time breaking news when this coaching search has been so tight lipped. 
 

kudos to you, sir

If you can’t divine the meaning of the bangin gifs on this board, not sure how to help you.

Well, not only to come to a message board, but then complain to said message board for lack of relevant information.

He would not be interested.  Don’t see him leaving for a big city like that.

It's mostly the scouts that are on the road throughout the year. Executives like Brad often just stick to the holiday tournaments in the Bahamas. 

Most of the time, scouts/executives wear normal clothing, no brand affiliation. It varies. 

Would agree however executives can and do show up for conference and NCAA tournament games.  And agree on not wearing team gear—especially Brad.

That makes complete sense. It's similar to the big season ticket holders in the NBA having sales executives at the team that they can call and contact for various things, and the ticket holders often try and get info from them.  

We're probably just talking semantics here, but I don't think those contacts are putting out planned "smokescreens" directed by the organization. 

Those contacts don't really know anything either. They're just trying to schmooze their season ticket holder (donor in this case) and have polite conversation. 

I don't think It's like coordinated misinformation. 

If several contacts give out the same misinformation, wouldn’t it seem coordinated?

Neptune just got fired

Only 3 years, terrible admin/fan base.

This said the bu6out is $8.3 million:

That's if they fire him.

The buyout he pays to the school if he leaves is only 20% of the remaining contract (as opposed to 50% to him for getting fired) which comes out to $3.3M.

I wish it was $8M if he left. I still think $3.3M is too much to pay for him but I could see IU doing that.

I will say that Brad hasn't ever been seen this many times out at college games in the past like he has the last couple weeks.

Tend to agree, I guess I was saying setting aside location, a small school like Nova makes some sense to me for McCollum though he may feel differently

Want to rehash Cronin, Brownell, and Turgeon again? Go for it....

Yep. Since Dolson didn’t lock him down and Goodman/Bozich are saying McCollum, Brownell, or 3rd candidate … curious who they’re referring to
