Moser would be incredibly on-brand for IU, though. If I was a betting man he is who I would bet on. It makes too much sense.

the part that popped out for me was "Brand"... as in Myles Brand. I'm gonna be sick.

I agree Hoosierfan2017.

Not my first choice (Oats Oats Oats!!) but def on brand.

Doesn't exaclty jive with the NBA-style offense I'm thinking of but they play incredibly smart and execute with a style that doesn't require the top recruits nor does it require cheating ----- hence the "on-brandness"

There is one guy that would be a true rabbit out of the hat that I didn't mention in my list earlier of guys whose teams are still playing .......

Mark ******* Few ------------ lifetime contract

Why would we want Moser, I don't see it at all. Slow down ball and made tourney 2 times in how many years? I hope not because he will not be the answer.

I know they can afford it but wouldn't TX have to pay TT a massive buyout for Beard?

I was listening to ESPNU earlier. One of the hosts was going off about teams in the Conference or the Conference itself( just missed that part) not being ok with transfers going to other teams in the Conference, but are ok when coaches do it. It was interesting to say the least

Agreed, if its down to Moser (unless maybe he wins it all), just go with Lewis or Fife

He wouldn't be in my top 30 coaches I'd be interested in. He would be a strike out looking.

Agreed, there is nothing about his offense that says NBA to me, or getting players to the league or whatever Dolson said in his press conference

that would be a fast ball right in the junk cup...

Moser is a prisoner of the moment type situation.  Everyone is impressed with their 2 wins in the tournament, especially how they dismantled Illinois.  If it is last year when they lost as the 1 seed in their conf tournament no one is even mentioning his name for the IU job.    I don't think Dolson is going to be impressed by such a guy.

Pass...

[woodenshoemanHoosierfan 6,182]

This is exactly how I feel. There have been literally zero good rumors coming out about our coaching search in the past week. Everything that we've heard has been depressing. Either the rumors are all fake, or we're in bad shape. 
 

And 99.999999% of those tweets/have been proven wrong. Yet people are still taking them as the truth. There is no reason to get too excited or too depressed based on them.

John Belein — lifetime contract or five years, whichever happens first,

it might also garner some uncharacteristic praise from the "anti-IU" sports media, which could matter to some folks in IU Admin

I agree and hope he is not the choice. It’s crazy how some  guys suddenly become really “hot” after winning one or two tourney games.

I don't know if the Oats buyout is a big deal or not. There is a large donor committed to paying "transition costs" which seems to me might include buyout costs of the new coach. If it's not that, then what would be the large costs of transitioning that would require a donor? Dolson didn't say salary costs so it doesn't sound like this donor is helping pay the next coach above the level IU is willing to pay. So it seems like it would be a buyout that the donor is willing to pay.

largely  agree; IMO the issue w/ Oats wouldn't be the buyout (or even any potential salary offer that Bama could match). I just get the feeling Oats doesn't want to leave Bama...yet.

That might change if UNC or Kentucky came calling, but for IU these days...tougher sell. Maybe Oats needs to have a heart-to-heart talk w/ his fellow Maranatha Baptist grad, Coach Tom Allen.

Has he mentioned he wants an IU guy? 

No, but he did guard Michael Jordan once.  

[woodenshoemanHoosierfan 6,182]

Stepped away for a couple hours, did I miss anything of note?

No. Nothing. Just people believing going off the cliff based on conjecture.

Moser has made the tournament 2 out of 17 times? Did I hear that correctly? No thank you on that.  

Yes, but the first time he went to the final 4 and the second is the sweet 16 and still playing.  Better than most of these 1 and done guys, including the Big 10 coaches.
