yes it is quite the deal.  I am a high school teacher.  I have had this thread open all day. This afternoon during my prep a student came to get some help from me.  While I was helping them my computer kept dinging from new replies in this thread.  The student even commented that my computer was sure making a lot of noise, lol.  And all the while I am helping this student I am wondering if there is some type of news in this coaching search.  The struggle is real. 

Turn that volume down, bro!!!

People are just stupid but it's the flavor of the decade. Beilein would be a good hire. Just not sure we can afford the name brand walkers and velcro shoes.

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.  

Hard, hard PASS.....we're really looking at mid major coaches again????

I am starting to realize if I continue to try to keep up to date on this thread 100% I am going to get fired from my job.

Just enter the transfer portal.  :)

No hire yet is a good thing in my book. Hopefully we get some loses from coaches we're interested in this weekend and maybe get lucky. #oats #mussbuss

Looks like they are looking at a 62 year old that has never recruited or coached in college, a 68 year old who has been out of college for a couple of years so yeah IU is looking at mid major coaches.   What  has IU done in the past 20 years that puts them above looking at mid major coaches?

It's IU, expect the most disappointing hire possible.

I am getting the feeling that it will be a complete grand slam or an absolute strike out.  Little chance of anything in between.

That's what we call an "Adam Dunn"

IU making a homerun hire would surprise more than IU hiring this guy

I do trust Dolson a lot more than Fred.  Not even close really.

Look, I get it.  He's not my first choice.  He's local to me and Cam is from my hometown as well -- a year older than my kid, so they played with/against each other growing up.  (So that's my bias)

But realistically, do we have a chance at the top two coaches -- Oats and Muss and/or maybe Drew?  Seriously, when you really sit and look at it honestly.  Sure we can offer a bunch of money, but so can their current schools.  They have pretty good gigs right now, and can parlay IU interest into a raise and extension.  Maybe if they weren't the hottest thing going right now and suffering a down year, but they all coach one of the final 16 teams and are high seeds to boot.  Maybe it works out and Scott pulls that rabbit out of a hat.  But realistically, we better start getting comfortable with the best of the rest.  Sorry to pee on everyone's Cheerios.

Can you explain to me this anti-slow ball/ pro-tempo thing?

Past 5 champions

2019- Virginia- AdjT: 353

2018- Villanova- AdjT: 150

2017- Gonzaga- AdjT: 76

2016- Villanova- AdjT: 274

2015- Kentucky- AdjT: 274

AVG Adjusted Tempo from 2015-2019 champions: 225

I guess I don't see a correlation between up-tempo and winning. I'm not against it, I just don't get why so many here seem to be pushing for it over- what appears to be- logic.

IF Gonzaga wins it this year they will certainly be the exception, not the rule.

Someone please explain...

Gonzaga didn't win in 2017

Chris Holtmann??? What??

We’re on option 35

Dolson hasn't really earned my trust yet.  I'd trust a wet fart more than Fred Glass; him getting it right would be the world premier of demons on ice.
