Not to sound salty but if that's his thoughts he probably doesn't belong here.  That's essentially a losers mentality.  

Lol, just different ways of looking at it I guess. He’s already winning at Michigan. What makes IU so great when they didn’t want him last cycle? If anything I’d get him wanting to stick it to IU, even if he loved his time there and has fond memories/family connections. Dolson passed on him (whether that’s because of Quinn/others doesn’t really matter). The scrutiny that the IUBB HC gets, with his family in the area, is a valid concern when you’re already winning at a prestigious Big 10 school that’s about to pay him well. Is IU in 2025 so special that’s worth walking away from to restore glory? Would be cool if he thinks that way. Not sure he’ll weigh out the decision that way taking everything into consideration. IU really F’d up not getting him last offseason IMO.

This should go without saying obviously, but there will be no press conference tomorrow. I’ll be able to take the lid off a bit later in the week. But will say this, anybody providing details right no

I’ve had several PM’s so wanted to drop a quick line to the broader board. Love this group and fully intend to continue to contribute to the community, Im not going anywhere. (Sorry to a few of you) B

So I couldn’t get much from him unfortunately. But, to me that’s a good thing. There’s been pretty much zero chatter, nor leaks for a month about coaches. He said it doesn’t matter that the season is

Maybe I am the only one on this hill but Nate Oats is not as high on my list as probably others. His teams are pretty shotty on the defensive end more often than not.

Looks like a cyclic trend

Anyone know why they are just now announcing Indiana is hiring a search firm? I thought that was known a while ago?

This was from a 2/17 Indy Star article saying Dolson’s using the same approach as the football search, including hiring the same search firm to identify candidates, based on his team’s criteria. 

“The athletic department also hired prominent search firm TurnkeyZRG to assist them. Dolson has gone on record describing them as “invaluable” to the process in the past. At that Rotary Club meeting, he said the firm worked off criteria he provided them, criteria which came directly from that study, to identify candidates.”

If he is offered and he accepts, it will be one of the greatest sports stories in the country! If he is successful they will make a movie about it!

Did you question why IU didn't hire him when he was 47-41 his first 3 years at FAU and that he might actually be upset about not getting the IU job then?  And you think with that mentality he's worried about failing here?  Seems like two different peoples brains Dusty May has. I don't want a split personality coach.

Just need a Jimmy Chitwood saying he will only play for IU if Dusty coaches

He has no real reason on paper to leave the Big 10 school he’s currently winning at and about to get a raise from just because IU is his alma mater. Would be cool if he did. Just would be surprising to me. Maybe he won’t want to deal with UM’s strict academic requirements for transfers and what not. The IU job for sure has better resources available financially. But he’s got a good thing rolling already. Maybe it’s a losers mentality to quit after a year on a team you built at a university that wanted you so you can crawl home to a school that told you no thanks just last year. Maybe the competitor in him says Dolson and IU can kick rocks, I’m gonna be Michigan’s Bob Knight. Hope not. 

We’ll see who we hire in about a month.

Background checks, PR strategy, behind the scenes logistics, etc. “Search firm” isn’t a very good title for what they actually do. 

We shall dub them a “search discreetly”.

And you might be right but like I said, if that's his mentality he doesn't need to be here.
