I'm on team I have no effing idea, and really I have a ton of respect for Scott Dolson to be able to keep it this close to the vest.

It’s easier to do when the candidates agent is also his wife.

What announcement?

Where Woody was retired. That didn´t happen to hire a flavor of the day IMO

I just have no idea who that would be because I’ve heard Donovan is gonna be back in Chicago again next year

Bulls are in purgatory.  GM doesn’t know whether to rebuild or go all in.  Owner doesn’t care about anything.    Donovan may not want to be part of a rebuild.   I think he wants to win now.  
 

With NIL, college is more like nba than ever.   Plus if they hire a GM.

Pack line is overblown.  WVU had the #7 defense in the country and in year 1 of his tenure.  And he would probably bring guys over who have already proven they can play it effectively.

I DO NOT HAVE ANY INSIDE INFO, but I am a music junkie and PJ Harvey's Stories From the City, Stories from the Sea is not only one of the most compelling albums of the past 50 years, it also contains this BANGER of a song:

 

 

If it’s actually Billy Donovan, Scott Dolson becomes AD of the century with Cignetti and Donovan hires.

I come check this thread maybe once per day.  It's always the same process, I come here hoping to find something insightful but instead leave frustrated after seeing page after page of pointless banter.  

You're blackpilling? It's coaching search season and you're blackpilling!?

This is false. Jerry Reinsdorf really cares about pinching pennies.

So if I nobody knows then how come some are saying announcement' coming?

I don't think you get a pick Scotty.  You have told us 139 times that big fish do not leave jobs to come to a place like IU.

Donovan might get fired and he knows that so he will resign first

[mdiu28 2,887]

No one searches for coaches like IU fans.

It worked well for Bennett at UVA

It's just a flavor of man to man defense that Archie was bad at coaching.

If I had my pick I’d go McCollum… I’m just a big fan of his. But DeVries is really good too. I’d be more excited about Ben but would also sleep well at night if it were DeVries… haven’t the foggiest clue who it will actually be though… ready to find out! 

At first I said no thanks to Ben M. As I stated here but after watching him being interviewed several times and watching coach Tony A’s breakdown on him, I think he’d do just fine here. I like the guy!

He may not be the big name "home run" hire folks wanted, but there's two things I'd love about that hire:

1) He's a damn good ball coach

2) We'd be stealing him from Iowa

[mike vannice 295]

Someone please explain why Billy Donovan is a viable candidate his Bulls teams suck and how long has he been out of college coaching.

Would take McCollom or Devries over him all day.

Boys and girls I have a really big favor to ask.  I've got to leave for a doctor's appointment in a few minutes so if you all could just not do any posting until after 3:30 I'd really appreciate it.  Thank you.  I knew you'd all understand being the fine group that you are.

Mr. Old Fart,

We have processed your request. After much deliberation and careful consideration, we have decided to reject it and keep posting. If you have any questions, please drop them in the nearest trashcan and we'll get to them as soon as possible.

Best Regards

Save a Brad Stevens hire, no one is going to unite this fan base or win the press conference.  Bitching has become so much of some IU fans identity over the past 10 years they don’t know what to do with themselves without having something to be negative about.  The program has not come close to the success all of us would like to see in a long time, but how you go about conducting yourself and behavior is a choice.  If it is DeVries, I will support him until or unless he gives us reason not to.  Whomever the hire is was vetted and the product of what I can only assume was a comprehensive process and search.

Only 1 thing will unite fans going forward and that is to win.  

There is more than 1 person. DD is so far down that list though especially considering he didn’t even make the tournament which is why this hire would be even possible right now. That is not going to instill a winning mentality in any fan. There is considerably better hires that would at least give a sense of winning, and not the fact they are sitting at home already like we are.
