So who’s going to do the stakeout at the airport?

Reporting from duty...I can work from my car instead of my house... what time do I need to be there on stakeout ?

I will need a pair of binoculars....

Years ago an all-time great who didn't win a title who now is an assistant in the NBA wife told my wife that she would never live in Bloomington. Her husband interviewed yesterday. 

and the interview was more of a courtesy/checked the box thing?

@Chris007  What influence will Adidas have in our coaching search or influence what coach would want to come coach here? Any chance that a new coach could move IU from Adidas to Nike, Jordan, or Under Armour?

It seems to me it makes perfect sense that Dolson would move from Stevens to interviewing retirees and IU grads. All of the other top candidates were still coaching until this past weekend, so it would make perfect sense to get the interviews with the others out of the way while you wait for your top candidates to free up. That way you can say you covered all your bases, and don't waste the down time.

Great point! Makes complete sense.

I have not heard anything about our shoe company. Could be though.

Is the shoe contract with the coach or the school. That would matter.

I think it has only been our assumptions (or preferences) that lead us to believe that the interviews will take place sequentially in descending order of priority or preference.

Just because ‘number six’ may have been talked to doesn’t mean that we have interviewed one through five or ‘skipped’ anyone.

Could Dolson be giving out bad info to some to see who leaks and who doesn't? Like that episode of Game of Thrones?

Home court doesn’t really matter in the NBA.

 

everyone knows Miami was better than those Pacers teams but we still managed to get home court over them. It’s how the NBA works. I can’t see any argument that those Knicks teams were better than Indiana on paper. Their only advantage was Melo, and even then Paul George went toe to toe with him and was arguably better.

Pacers only had home court advantage once in their three meetings. And sure, home court doesn’t mean as much when you have LeBron James on your team. For most other teams it’s pretty important, especially when two teams are evenly matched.
 

The Pacers’ best player in 2013 was a 22 year old Paul George. He averaged 19.5 ppg on 39/27/60 shooting splits against the Knicks. And the Knicks still lost. 
 

The other season he won 50+ games, his team got swept in the second round. They lost by 43, 14, 30, and 14 points.

For any up and coming Nate Oats fans, here's the CBS article profiling him from a few weeks back. I specifically like his multiple references to NOT running Bobby Knight motion in today's game ----- looks like somebody growing up in the midwest was paying attention. Anyway great article about how he has used math / analytics / advanced analytical scouting to give his team advantages. 

Don't think he's coming but he would be my clear number 2 ------ and the way he yelled at the LSU bench to "get the **** outta here" after the SEC championship game and his penchant for plaid jackets he does remind me of someone.
