I don't know if I could deal with Cronin's offense. 

It's ... well... downright offensive much of the time. 

He couldn't deal with being the face of IU. Nor can 98% of every names mentioned every day. Of that 98%, the smart ones know it and won't waste their time or ours.

Dolson is keeping things still quiet. This is what my friend texted me today.

A guy at work is a longtime IU season ticket holder. He spoke to a high up donor that has spoken to Dolson recently. Dolson wouldn’t tell this guy whom the coach was going to be due to all the rumors out there, but he did tell this donor that he would be happy.

Of course he did.   Like he would say "I am looking for a crappy coach."

I mean, what else is Dolson going to tell a big donor, other than "he would be happy?" 

I get what you're saying, though. That Dolson is still keeping things quiet...

One thing I won't understand if it is McCollum...why did it get so quiet? Like why would Dolson have everyone around him be so quiet for so long to hire a mid major coach? Don't get me wrong, I don't think McCollum is a bad hire, but he's no home run hire that you keep under lock and key.

 

There are just so many aspects of this coaching hire that don't make sense to me yet, maybe @JerryYeagley23 will be able to give some clarity once he "takes the lid off" as he said. Hope we hear something soon because this search is getting old at this point. 

He's still actively coaching a team

Yep really odd. A D2 guy and it had to be tight lipped.

I’m still holding out for Bruce Pearl. Auburn has lost 3 of 4 maybe Bruce has signed the contract and the pressure is getting to him.

I attended Auburn many moons ago and have a few connections down there still. Won't pretend to be an insider by any stretch but I know there was some concern coming down from their Final Four run in 2019 that a school like IU could lure him away. Those days are gone. He's a made man on the Plains and with Auburn switching to Nike this summer, he will likely have more recruiting pull than he has to this point. I dont see the SEC basketball machine slowing down any time soon, either.

I’ve been vocal about not wanting Brownell, as have most, but if he makes at least the Sweet16 this year, doesn’t that soften your stance on him a little or won’t change? Piggyback, if he makes an Elite 8 or Final 4, does that help? 

Nope. He's a little over .500 in conference  and has made the tournament about 1/3 of the time.

So is Medved and there are people that already know he is taking Minnesota? So many people have said this is one of the tightest searches theyve seen. 

 

I don't buy that is because he is coaching a team personally
