Did he have any names he actually was confident about? 

He just put them in tiers but never said who he thought would get the job

Numbers could have been discussed, that doesn’t mean anything. They were discussed last time too

What about the quote "dolson has his guy". That was a direct quote.

Looks like we fired Archie on Mar 15.  Brad Stevens says he is a "masshole" on Mar 19.  We hire Woody on Mar 28.  So that may support your theory but I just looked back at a text with a friend of mine who is Woody's relative.  This relative was prominantly sitting behind the bench often, so often i would usually give him a hard time about what he wore lol.  That text was on Mar 23 and I asked if Woody was coming to IU.  He said he thought it was a done deal but some surprise "deal" with Matta came up and everyone is upset.  

So, from 3/19 to 3/23 seems to be the window here even though the deal was finalized on 3/28.  

That’s great intel. Paraphrasing but when asked what else do you have for us when Stevens was eliminated, he didn’t give anyone around him much confidence that he had anything else in a good place. That was enough to get the Woody discussion moving. So I’m not surprised that 4 days later things had progressed there. In all reality it would have just taken 1 phone call

He might have Stevens locked up but I don’t think so. That definitive type of statement doesn’t sit well with me, that same language was used 4 years ago too. It’s one thing to say I think or I was told but to say it so matter of factly when proven to have been wrong in the past is tough

Mr. Stevens already has a nice non-conference building up

I don't think he has ever mentioned it before (and therefore I haven't), but 8bucks was low-key awesome four years ago. I can confirm that we flat-out discussed that Woody was the very likely choice days before the news broke or Woody was even known to be in consideration.

This board has some low-key excellent posters with access that covers damn near every aspect of IU sports. That zero-$$ mod salary comes with some perks!

Not to get us off topic....but how crazy is it that some people look down on Dusty and he's now sitting in sole possession of first in the B1G in year one. Watching Wolf last year I would have never believed it if you told me how UM would use him. Basketball genius.

Sadly, I can’t see him leaving Michigan after one year, especially a very successful year. Last year was our window, we wanted to give Woodson another year, now Dusty is likely off the table, but many other good choices so we will see how it works out!

I disagree because this goes against my chosen narrative!

I can't see any other reason for his ridiculously low buyout other than for IU. Can you?

Yeah 100% it's Stevens not Dusty. I don't really know this but just wanted to put an absolute on it like VO did

Except here at BTB, the standard is 1,000,000%.  So if BS is only at 100, that translates to only a .01% chance that it happens.  We need some more confidence guys.

Bozich says 0% chance. Our insiders say numbers have been discussed. Somebody will be dead wrong.

Buzz, Tom Crean, or Shaka Smart confirmed as next IU coach.  Sharpie

I think the only difference between your account and mine is that Scott only got one swing at the plate. It’s my belief that Scott was given the opportunity to find his guy and was unable to after a significant amount of time which opened the door for Quin to get it done.

do you recall the date/how long after Archie was fired that Quin flew out to offer Woodson? I believe it was quite a bit after which supports the account that Dolson was given ample time to deliver before plan ZZ was enacted

It was 13 days from the time Archie was bought out and Mike was introduced I believe

I just had my 6th back surgery so I’ll take the hacky sack. Now if it were a regular size board, I’d take that instead. I don’t have a beeper, but I do have a brick phone that you plug into a cigarette lighter..lol

That is a head scratcher, not sure why Michigan would agree to that low buyout?
