By the way, my suspicion is that Dolson has reached to a whole lot of successful coaches who he believes could be a good fit, to gauge whether they'd have any IU interest. Probably through their agents/representatives.

And that's a good idea.

Which doesn’t equate “zeroing in on”. That’s just Goodman being a dick.

My gut feeling is that recruiting coaches in the same conference is kind of a last resort thing. 

Penn State just took an assistant from another team in the conference.

Was Goodman the guy who blasted us for firing Crean at the same time the 2017 tourney tipped off?

$10MM comes w more expectation than getting rid of someone .

Live look at IU's coaching search

[PB1230 502]

I'm guessing that IU's contact with Holtmann, Matta, Woodson, Cheaney, and any other name out there is actually pretty routine in a coaching search, but that sort of info generally goes by the wayside as soon as a coach is hired. Its been 11 days since Archie was fired, which isn't an eternity, but at also does provide enough space for those types of stories to percolate and gain traction.

But they've made the tournament at least 3 times in the last 5 years, vs our 1.

And they won their conf tournament this year. We've never won a conf tourney. 

Like I said, it's not crazy to debate things. We're living off history at IU. If we're simply comparing the last 5 years, TX has been better. And they've easily out recruited us since 2016, so we at minimum know the kids are buying TX over IU.

Things can turnaround quickly though. Let's just hope we land the right coach.

The question is which is a better job, not who has done better in the last 15 years. We've had some horrible hires but if we can get one good one here the coach will be a legend. It's not even close to which is the better job between us and Texas and I can't believe I have to type this out.

Not necessarily.  If Dolson would have called me without a coach lined up, I would have given him seventy billion dollars to get rid of Archie.

[Moye > Boozer 241]

Friends!!! We are focused on the wrong things!!!!

HERE IS THE MOST IMPORTANT POST YOU'LL SEE ALL NIGHT (if your goal is to relax and enjoy your Friday night)

Look at Holtman's buyout. I hope the rumor is true. That means we're swimming in the deep end. Exactly where we need to be.

Do you know of anyone else who has a $12M buyout that many of us would be pretty stinking excited about???? 

If Holtman rumors are true is PROVES money is not an issue and Dolson WILL land a premium target.

Which one remains to be seen. 

PS. my apologies if this has already been posted, it's very hard to keep up!!!

I was told that the intel out there today about Holtmann are not completely true. Seems to have origonated with Goodman who is a POS, so take it w a grain of salt.

IU and our fanbase is getting absolutely trashed by the national media. I’m having a hard time finding a precedent for any program at any point in time. What the **** do they really have against IU? It is pretty clear that these people have an axe to grind. I really hope that some coach stands up for us all and gives us the ability to shove it right up these dorks *****.

It’s hard for us peasants to comprehend, but $10MM to a billionaire is hardly noticeable.

I hope this doesn't go as long as the search UCLA did last time when it went 100 days before they hired Cronin
