Granted I was a year old when RMK was hired, but I thought I've read that IU fans weren't initially happy because they were used to the "Hurryin Hoosiers" type of ball and RMK slowed it down with his motion offense.. but when the wins came and championships won, the man was a genius according to fans- so fit is less important than success.. Just Win Baby!

Yup. IMO he was a personality fit though. Regardless, winning will make folks overlook almost anything. He'll always be my favorite, that's for sure.

Oates are back on the menu boys!!!

As I said previously, I highly doubted Goodman.  National guys don’t report based on single sources without verifying them unless they have an agenda.  Goodman used one “source” and the term “zero in”.

Katz also said on Gottleib we've contacted Musselman and brought up the IU former players so he has no clue besides what everybody else has said.  I also believe we're going after one of these and that's why we just need to be patient. If we fail to get one then we go to the backups we have been in contact with not currently in the tourney.  I think he is trying hard for Oats. To be waiting we have to be getting feedback from their agent we're interested. If we make a push for big money they will either take our offer or get a raise at their current job. We need to get lucky one time. 

Drew

Oats

Musselman

Dolson is in completely over his head at this point. I think after both the Matta news and this news we can conclude that he doesn’t have some master plan of getting a guy still coaching. I don’t think he has any plan at all beyond grasping at straws.  

So 2 guys who cite unidentified sources are to be accepted at full face value?  Good grief, sources could be a plumber unclogging their toilets because they're both so full of excrement.  They're both after clicks and citing "sources" is an easy way to get them because you have the perfect out when your "source" proves to be wrong.  My "source" tells me Dolson thinks Goodman and Doyel are both hacks.

Scott probably called up Holtmann to see if he had any IU guys on staff who would be interested in the job.

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 *****. 

Why do you think they have anything against us because we can be our own worse enemies.  I know one reason Goodman trolls us because he said the other day on his podcast that tweets from IU fans are the worse he has seen. If you watch Aseembly Call and no who coach Tonsoni is you know he does bracketology with his high school students.  He even said on something so minor the IU fan base rips them more than any fan base from comments

Wow something  on social media or the internet is not true, who would have known.  If this fan base would just wait and be patient and not go nuts on every little post these media guys would stop trolling this fan base.

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

Although, UCLA being able to hire someone the caliber of Cronin after 100 days, and Cronin being able to immediately get 2 decent season at UCLA does indicate that its not the end of the world if IU's search goes longer than people want

This where it gets interesting.   Rabbys new tweet says Dolson didn’t pursue Holtmann.   He confirmed someone from IU contacted him.   Meaning someone working for Dolson reached out but since it’s wasn’t Dolson he can deny he reached out.    I said Dolson had a tough decision earlier when he had to chose to fire Archie seems it’s going to get tougher before it gets better

Is this a game of Semantics? So did IU not reach out to him or did “Scott Dolson” not reach out?

[Indiana8585 129]

The media has hated us since Knight, I’m only 35 but I think you know what I mean by incidents, LSU fan, Puerto Rican Cop, Saying the media is two steps above prostitution, telling Connie Chung to lay back and enjoy (rape) if it’s inevitable etc etc. Coach Knight will be my all time favorite for a lot of reasons, some personal that were touching and kind but the national media couldn’t stand him and the way he kept winning. So now when we’ve been down most are just looking for revenge and want to shame the whole fan base because of bad jokes or past incidents and now have the ammunition.

Although, if Dolson wasn't the one doing the talking, then IU wasn't seriously considering Holtmann

I wouldn't say Cronin was a high caliber candidate and wouldn't have rally liked it if IU hired him.

Drew

Oats

Musselman

That is my top 3, maybe even in that order although I think I prefer Oats to Drew at this point. Very close between those two. I've warmed up to the idea of Musselman.
