Boy this coaching search could take a major turn for the worst. 

I hear ya Treesh but I'm going to choose to look at it a different way ......

with other "good jobs" becoming available and the very real possibility that big time cash is going to be thrown around in the way of buyouts and new contracts with schools like Marquette, Texas, and Oklahoma in the mix, it is going to force IU's hand to spend big to get the right guy (which many of us including myself think they're going to do anyway).

Possibly even spending A LOT more than they had originally planned. 

In my mind that means EVERYONE really is in play ---- Oats, Muss, etc.

This is the ultimate s*** or get off the pot moment for IU basketball and I love it!

I just voice searched "Indiana Basketball Coach" on Google and it said, "Dane Fife is the head basketball coach at Indiana University."  I then searched "Dane Fife" and it told me he was an assistant coach at Indiana.

 

Is this true, was Fife hired and did he appoint himself as his own assistant coach?  (Insert Dwight Schrute gif)

You took a helluva lot of heat for that take, including from me. Unfortunately, it just might end up being prophetic.

I guess the benefit of this whole thing will be that I was right LOL. 

I'm a long term thinker. It doesn't matter if fans are pissed for one more year. It matters if they are pissed for four more years.

Dakich seems very happy about what he knows from Dolson.  Sounds like it’s an IU guy.

So Shaka Smart goes to Marquette and now we are screwed for the next 4 years? Completely logical.

Dakich being happy is the worst possible news. Both generally, and with this situation.

I see your point. And you know what, UNC, Duke, and Kansas could open up next year and we could've been competing with them. We'll never know since Archie is fired now. But I'll tell you what, I like the odds of us striking out than us even hitting a triple currently.

Of all the people out there, the one person least likely to know what is going on is Dakich. 

No one is going to tell him anything until they're ready for it to leak publicly.

I think Dakich would be the last guy Dolson would give anything to.

I don't think Dakich wants any random IU guy to be coach. I think he'd only be happy if Alford was the guy.

Kristian Lander has entered the portal.

 

There goes the kid with most potential.

Agreed, may not be directly from Dolson, but his change in demeanor is concerning

What's he saying if you don't mind me asking?

[Magnanimous 4,505]

Good grief...does Danny Moore have any eligibility left?

[TadQueasy 672]

Players are going to the portal. It is happening everywhere.  Means nothing at the moment.  Just giving themselves options.  The big kid at Georgetown is in the portal and their coaching situation is fine.   It happens.   Need to stop freaking out over it.

Half our scholarship players are in the transfer portal. Rumors of us hiring a guy with 2 tournament appearances in 17 years. At least we have a good football team.

Don't forget about the coaches who have never been head coaches on the collegiate level before!
