Need Elon to get rid of that Twitter account. 

Or we need to just get rid of Twitter altogether. It's bots, trolls, and a**holes.

Dolson wanted to get this done by 3/17. Well, let’s get it done. Now, if it’s a current coach (other than BB) I’m not going to sweat it. But BS or BD can be announced tomorrow. I give my permission.

Exactly. I understand folks trepidation due to Archie, etc. etc. But I think in my mind it's not just that McCollum won in D2... He won huge. They were dominant. Give me someone with that potential over many of the rumored names with known ceilings not much different than Woody.

There are no guarantees with any hire. A lot of names thrown out there are solid coaches, but nothing about them makes me think they are the game changer IU needs. McCollum seems to me to be the guy that can bring that. The guy who can be better than just a Sweet 16 every other year,  maybe a final 4. He's not the safest choice, but definitely the highest upside.

I legit can’t even remember why we did that one.  I am positive I was being a smart @$$, because we didn’t really give those out and the dude was a mod lol.  

Yeah, the HAHAHAHAHA kinda told the story.

Trilly confirming the Brownell extension. Brownell's agent got Tyme, Bozich, Rabby etc. to do a dance for him lmao.

Hell yeah.  I have taken a step back from the ledge.

And Stevens never made it above a mid-major level. And what McCollum did at DII shows he can coach and says a lot more about him than most of the candidates DI records. It might not translate to D1, who knows, but its a lot more promising than most of the names being thrown around.

Stevens took that mid-major to two straight title games. I wouldn't be quite as hesitant (but I'd still be hesitant) if McCollum had any DI experience as a player or assistant, ala Cignetti, but he doesn't. What he did in DII was impressive, not denying that, but he'd be facing better players and coaching in every B1G game than he ever saw in DII; not a risk IU can afford to take right now.

Continue to read the thread. Admits (as we suspected) he’s a former player under Woodson. Of course, acting very high class in his responses. Not a good look

Yeah think we hear a lot of players enter the portal tomorrow but I just don’t see anything happening on a Sunday night

Have to admit, it'd be kinda bada$$ by Dolson if IU scheduled a presser and there was still no confirmation of who the hire is.

[Hoosierfanyuh]

Guys this just now happened give them some time to ask around lmao

Dude I am getting old as hell it feels like.  The Scout/HSN/HSN on Scout/BTB stories are starting to warp together.  But no one person grew my love of Emma Watson quite like you lol.  Damn edibles

[Hoosier Guy]

It was never going to be Brownell lol.

I would not be happy with that hire. That would be a very big letdown hire for me.

You can start your fire Ben thread the day it's announced if and when it happens.

I'm beginning to wonder if he ran over your dog or something.

[IUwins0708]

So all you guys that were sure it was Brownell feeling better now?

[schoosier]

Hoping for an announcement any day!

[IU_FanClub]

If we follow this whole fiasco up with a ******* D2 coach I’m going to lose my mind

Brownell getting a 6 year extension at Clemson 

Wait, what? We had people on here say it was Brownell because Tyme posted something. 

[Hornsby]

Or we need to just get rid of Twitter altogether. It's bots, trolls, and assholes.

So don't go on Twitter if you don't like it

Shocker.  Just another product of Woody's toxic program.  All his sources will be gone soon and hopefully he leaves this stupid SDB account and moves on with his life.
