Cool story. If you don’t want rumors then get off of message boards.

We've had our guy multiple times... until we didn't get them to Bloomington... that's all I was saying... 

Total faith in Dolson... it's not been a full week yet and we've been all over the map with the next coach... just have to trust him to make us all proud.

I can’t think of anyone else.

@Chris007 was told he or his agent reached out to IU weeks ago.

Who do we want? I’m 100% ready to bounce back and get hyped up again like last week!!! We are the greatest fan base.

IF it's someone out of left field...I'm going with Bennett or Pitino. 

So with Pitinio we get old AND shady! It would be an epic failure. Fortunately I can't imagine that happening in 100 years, which is how long it would take to get the stank of Pitinio off the furniture.

I don’t believe that.  His wife is from Louisville and the grandparents are there. That is where he wants to be

Pitino, K, Bennett, Stevens, Donovan, Izzo, Calipari, Sean Miller, Pearl, Beard, Matta, Beilein off the top of my head.

All but the "HOME RUN" part...

For some he would be. For me it would be a sliding double with a challenge to make sure.

Of course, HOME RUN would be in the eyes of the poster.

Not sure Sean Miller belongs on this list.  Would rather have Wade if we are taking someone from that scandal.

Couple weeks ago we beat this topic to death. Never know

He was definitely a tongue in cheek inclusion. Lol

Brad Unlikely 

Billy D VERY unlikely 

Wright STLL IN TOURNEY

Rick Pitino STILL DESPICABLE and OLD

Bennett SHOCKER!

Cal IMPOSSIBLE

Self NEXT TO IMPOSSIBLE (and still in tourney)

I can’t think of anyone else.

My take on that list

There is a rumor of a final push though, but unlikely 

Omg.

I know we said this money was for the program, but is it possible Bennett wants more money? He's 16th in average salary. I know he's turned money down before. You never know.

Calipari isn't a Kentucky guy. Bill Self isn't a Kansas guy. Coach K isn't a Duke guy. Jay Wright isn't a Villanova guy. Bob Knight wasn't an IU guy. 

What's IU culture? Playing hard for 40 minutes? You don't need to be an 'IU guy' to have your team play hard. 

Preach!!! The “it has to be an IU guy” thing means Bobby Knight shouldn’t have ever been our coach.

I would suggest just assuming Stevens is off the table.  I don't see him coming and it's not worth getting your hopes up.
