How many times did either one finish dead last in tempo? 

I'm not saying he can't be successful, and honestly in the age of NIL the recruiting aspect of it probably matters less. I just think the deck will be stacked against him.

He had a bunch at the bottom. I’m not looking them all up but the first team I saw was actually slower than Drake is this year. 
 

Most of this board—myself included—couldn’t tell the difference between a 200th paced team and the 350th just by watching. You’d need the kenpom sheet in front of you. That goes for recruits too.  Watching good, efficient basketball is much more rewarding to me, at any pace, than watching teams push tempo just for tempos sake. 
 

It’s nearly a non-factor. I’d take Jay Wright or Tony Bennett or a young Bo Ryan in a heartbeat. Those guys won a ton and put plenty of guys in the pros. Odds are high that our next hire won’t be as good as those guys.  
 

I’m agnostic on McCollum since I haven’t seen Drake play. I’d prefer a more proven coach, though.

It's an "e-learning" day for me so hoping some serious tea spillage and fun on this board today...( because I NEVER check when I'm actually at school)... um...yeah

If I believe in it and it doesn't happen, what exactly did I lose?  Again, I'M MARRIED.  You think I'm not used to things turning out differently?

Well, believing that we were getting Brad Stevens last time and then seeing the “Mike Woodson has been hired as the next IU basketball coach” notification was as big a gut punch as you can get for something like this. If I don’t believe it this time around then the gut punch won’t be as bad.

Chris, or Josh, or Stuhoo, or Old Friend or Trilly "Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to report the done deal for head coach of Indiana University men's basketball team.  As always, should you or any member of your Fan the Flame of Innuendo Force be caught or killed, the true fans and not so true fans will disavow any knowledge of your actions. This message will self-destruct in five seconds. Good luck to us all.".

Some of you guys probably tell your kids Santa Claus isn’t real either. Lol 

Thanks a lot. Now I don't even know where to go from here. My life seems like one big lie now.

A gut punch would be less painful. It was more like a kick to the balls.

Yes, I live my life not believing every rumor I hear from anonymous sources on the internet. It hasn’t hurt me yet. This is an exact repeat of four years ago. If it ends differently and we actually get Brad Stevens? Great! We’ll all be happy. But if it ends the same way, hopefully that’ll be the end to the Stevens rumors and people can finally move on. 

I agree with this, but just speaking for myself, I believe there is a very good chance he is coming, but if he doesn’t I will survive just fine, there are many other great choices and I have faith that Dolson (after the Cignetti hire) will find us a great coach! Allowing yourself to feel hope for landing your dream hire can be safe and fun if you prepare for it to fall through or even find out it was all just made up rumors.

Yes. I would put Trilly as an unbiased source who seems to know A LOT when it comes to the CBB world

Absolutely. No offense to our insiders but Trilly's information hits different.
