Popular Post coonhounds Posted February 15 Popular Post Posted February 15 Anyone attacking insiders or discrediting them should get the ban hammer. There has been enough credible info stating there was at the very least rumors. If so they are all clear imo. Sent from my SM-S926U using Tapatalk FWHoosier84, hper50, taco corp and 15 others 15 3
HoosierHoopster Posted February 15 Posted February 15 I’ll say this, while I don’t think Dolson will be able to pull May from UM, if he somehow does just imagine the vibe. I mean everyone would be behind that hire, a knock it out of the park home run, the excitement would be back, and the conference contention and tournament runs would follow. Talk about bringing back IU basketball— we’d be doing cartwheels here 8bucks, cybergates, DLG3 and 1 other 4

Talk about bringing back IU basketball— we’d be doing cartwheels here To be also realistic, the last time there was an opening here Indiana landed on Mike Woodson. That doesn’t give me much hope for interests from big fish.

Bo Ryan was an older guy when he went to Wisconsin…he did pretty well! I’d settle for 10-12 year guy with the coaching ability of McDermott! HoosierHoopster 1

McCollum NEEDS to be the guy. I’ll be honest. I never did the research on the efficiency rating stuff of Archie’s teams before IU. I’ll take your word for it and based on the you’ve sold me on McCollum.
IU Prof Posted February 15 Posted February 15 16 minutes ago, Artie86 said: ….my guess is a couple things. 1. Real smoke screen 2. Chris, AP, Jerry are all trying to find out what is really happening and post some sort of news later on. (Crickets right now) 3. They have been told by their sources to “shut up” and say nothing more because things were getting out too much, too soon. 4. If 3 is true, they may be telling them to play the smokescreen card too so it doesn’t get out of hand. (Crickets right now) 5. Chris, Jerry and AP were all fed smokescreens early on to think it’s Brad and really someone else. JMO GO IU! I will say the silence from some of the insiders is getting palpable, now that we're ~2.5 hours post the Goodman bomb. Hornsby and Pryght 2

Buckner won’t be there to get his guy, that experiment failed miserably. Dolson has the keys now. I see this more similar to when Crean was hired - for what we needed then that was a good hire. We need better now, but the foundation is there.

Other than the hypothetical that a guy has bad feels that they wanted Brad over him there is none. And you can't honestly think that candidate that wants the job would be that butt hurt do you? It has absolutely nothing to do with the other candidates being butthurt and everything to do with wasting time on a lost cause when he could’ve been cultivating relationships with other candidates. Last time he allegedly thought Stevens was a done deal, had no backup plan, and ended up with Mike Woodson. VFury, Indiana8585 and woodenshoemanHoosierfan 3
