I know Dolson is talking to them prior to entering. If we were close to having a coach in place, wouldn't Dolson say, "Just wait a day or two and give the coach a chance before you enter". Bingo. Which is why I find it hard to believe it’s an IU guy.

IMO, every single player who is looking out for their best interest, should be in the portal. With the tournament maturing, more and more kids will be added every day. It's best to get in as soon as possible, even if you don't want to return, or are at least willing to be re-recruited by the new coach. T White 1

That's just not how these things typically work. If Dolson suggested it, and Beilein agreed, then maybe it could take place. But that's the only realistic way IMO it could happen. I think you are correct, and why I think Beilein AS the associate coach to a more inexperienced head coach/IU guy is more plausible than the other way around Edited March 25, 2021 by PB1230 typo
Willkie71 Posted March 25, 2021 Posted March 25, 2021 It's no wonder the players are considering their options. With zero knowledge of what is actually going to happen, the negativity on these boards is so bad it's even beginning to scare me! But with the right hire, many or all can come back. Will totally depend on the hire IMO. HoosierFan1994 1

They are getting told by their AAU coaches, friends, family that you should explore your market for free. One they see greener grass.. it's hard to turn away pending our hire. At least we know the boys were faithful to Archie! We don’t know that. They could have still hit the portal if he were the coach. It’s a free year, almost anyone should be looking to be honest. woodenshoemanHoosierfan 1

The media is usually wrong with coaching search information. The Drew stuff is pretty common knowledge. It was an assistant that Drew kept around even after those events. the Drew stuff involved more than just Morefield's actions hoosierbgh 1

Also why believe every little thing that is being reported on the internet. All the information being leaked points in one direction, and it’s not a good one. A week ago I though John Beilein would be a disappointing hire. Now? He’d be a freaking grand slam in my eyes. I love IU. I loved my time at IU and will always look back fondly on it. I met my girlfriend there, and I met some of my best friends there. But there comes a point where rooting so hard for a program that can’t get out of its own way stops being enjoyable. For me, another underwhelming hire would bring me to that point. It especially would if the rumors of Dolson not being interested in Beard or Drew are true. I wouldn’t ever root for another school, I’d just become a casual fan. Justin Kotter 1

Mr. Hoosier Pride Posted March 25, 2021 Posted March 25, 2021 Exactly. Hiring Calbert to be HC is like having someone operate on you just because they had the same surgery you need. "Well they MUST know something!" No. Please make the any IU player crap stop. All-time GREAT player with a very thin coaching resume and ZERO head coach experience. Calbert has no business being the next IU head basketball coach and hiring him would be mal-practice by Dolson. Thankfully I doubt he's that stupid and hiring Calbert as HC would be monumentally STUPID. I'm not saying CC is the answer but you guys act like he hasn't been coaching for years in college and pros... it's not like he's been sitting on the couch watching games. He's got a nice resume as an assistant and was coached by an all time great... If the guy can recruit, I'm confident he knows how to coach. I'd be more than OK with Calbert.

Josh Posted March 25, 2021 Posted March 25, 2021 19 minutes ago, IUc2016 said: He doesn't know specifics. He actually didn't even say that was why IU hadn't contacted him. He just said when UCLA was searching for a coach he asked someone in their AD why they hadn't gone after beard and he was told because of skeletons in his closet. So he assumes that is why IU hasn't contacted him either It sounded to me like they were alluding to problems with alcohol. They said "it's not like he has DUI's" and "it's not like he's all Billie Gillespie" IUc2016 1

It does mater if he was a Crean guy. He came here to play for Tom, Tom got fired. He left. Race, Frank, Jordan, and Parker came for Archie. Archie got fired. They are leaving more than likely.

I’ll still root for IU. I just won’t dedicate as much of my time and energy to following them. And I suspect I’m far from alone in that. The students coming to IU now don’t see IU basketball the same way you do. There are far too many things to do in this world to spend so much time watching bad, unenjoyable basketball.
