Two things Brad Stevens and Brad Brownell have in common. They both were born in Indiana and both played bb and graduated from Depauw in Greenfield, IN. (Stevens 95-99, Brownell 88-91)

That’s about it. Lol ;)

3 things, they both are named Brad, lol!

Leary made a good point on Coyle's show yesterday about Dusty...he thought it would be easier for him to leave UM after one year than being there multiple years because of establishing roots.  I guess I never thought about it that way, but kind of makes sense.

To me, it all comes down to how much he wants to coach at IU. He’s gonna get paid either way. If he really wants to coach at IU and is offered the job, it may be his only chance. Question is: how important is it to him?

Chris Beard was hired to coach Ole Miss for $3.25M / year, less than 3 months after being fired for cause from Texas due to his arrest for felony domestic violence. He's doing just fine without us on the "getting second chances" front.

Then, you’d be okay hiring him?

Yep. Because other than love for IU, the unfortunate truth is there’s very little reason to move on from UM, when you’re currently in 1st place with a solid recruiting class. The leverage Dusty has over Michigan, especially with Stevens statement to Goodman, is stronger than ever. Michigan will want to close ASAP and he has no reason - on paper - to hold out just to come back to his alma mater. Now… maybe being close to family changes the equation for him. But it’s not like Ann Arbor is in Far East Asia, lol.

Hey guys :)

I haven’t been on in a couple weeks.  It looks like this is the place to be lol.  Can someone provide a quick recap on where we are at or DM me?  I don’t think I can read this many pages lol.

Well -- we were going to this bingo parlor at the YMCA, well one thing led to another, and the instructions got all fouled up...

No. His conduct on that night makes him unfit to be the coach of IU. The fiancee ultimately deciding not to cooperate with the investigation doesn't change that.

My point is, he's not some down on his luck guy who just needs a second chance. In fact, he suffered very little consequences given the gravity of his charges, and he was already given that second chance almost immediately.

Appreciate the context. 

Dolson having to meet with an athlete board and actually give them insight into the hiring process is a glaring example of the incompetence of IU basketball the last 25 years. 

What an utter waste of Scott Dolson's time right now. 

Thought that’s why they hired a search firm?

Yea.  There is his contract, but he can use this to get more NIL commitments too.  If he can get the attention of the right boosters UM has a crapload of money to give him.  I don’t feel too good about prying him out of there to come fix our dumpster fire.

You will need to take 2 weeks vacation and read 25 hours a day to catch up! Lol

People said Brad Stevens was a done deal yesterday, Brad then told Goldman he wasn't a candidate late afternoon yesterday, and now no one knows what to think.

Dusty may just be that smart…he may have demanded the low buyout knowing that Woodson would be gone. He can either jump to IU if he wants to, or force Michigan to extend him after only one season for a lot more money! If he’s that smart we really have to try harder to get him!
