General Coach Candidate News

[woodenshoemanHoosierfan]

I mean it isn’t that crazy if you are Dolson and worried about losing a shot at Stevens by hiring someone young that has a Crean level run and lasts 10 years. And then we never have a shot at Stevens once his kids are older.  This is good fanfic and makes sense. 

If Stevens doesn't come this time(which i highly doubt he does), can we please put him ever coaching here to bed.

Just did a little study on coaches who were at IU  

So TC  was hired on 4/1/08 

Then AM  was hired on 3/25/17 

Current coach on 3/28/21 

I also checked all these coaches were hired during the NCAA tournament how be it toward the end but I found it interesting ,so we have to wait 4 more weeks then ?

The other piece here, and i know you're not buying the smokescreen stuff, just bringing up hypotheticals, but there was no reason for Brad Stevens to put out a smokescreen. 

Why would he even do that? Nobody is even talking about Stevens coming to IU except for the IU fan bubble. 

This isn't even a blip on the Boston media radar. It's not a blip with the Celtics fan accounts on Twitter. It's not a blip on the NBA's media radar. IU media brings it up here and there, but mostly only to squash it. 

There was no reason for Stevens to put out a smokescreen. Boston media was not asking him about this. 

Just like previous coaching searches a nothing burger from the NBA side of things tells you all you need to know.

One could also start "when did they officially announce that coach was out, compared to when they were hired", if so, we'd be hiring one soon, right? 

I think we hear from March 9- March 19.... JMO.

For me the sooner the better ,as we are not the only school looking for a coach .

That would require hiring a guy young enough and good enough to coach here 15-20 or so years.  And I agree, I hope we do.

But was there a portal that opened before those hires?

I haven’t checked, but I’d assume not.

The Rabjohns of the Michigan message boards says he thinks there is a 99.9% chance that Dusty is back at Michigan next season. I’m guessing he’ll sign that extension soon if he hasn’t already.

I get what you’re saying, but if it’s not a blip on anyone’s radar, why the need for Goodman to tweet anything, smokescreen or not.

Ugh.  Thanks Quinn.

Not surprising, but assuming this happens it makes me sad and angry — the usual emotions with crappy IUBB.

I did a search the Transfer Portal  was opened for the first time in 2018 according to google so only Woodson would have been able to use it .

Well if it's not Bruce or Beard, let alone Stevens or Billy D, then it's a failure iMO.

Hiring a "potential" coach would be disappointing, considering we just wasted the last four years when we could've done potential then.

Here comes a Brad Brownell-level emotional valley for the board

Because Goodman is in the IU bubble to a certain extent with his daughter being a student in the Cuban Media Center, etc. 

Goodman crosses all the world's on this (college basketball, IU, NBA, Boston). He had some, "here we go again" tweets with the Stevens stuff right when the Woodson announcement was made because he sees the IU fan accounts, so he went and squashed it quickly.

2) Bennett and Wright may actually be in play - thus why we are supposedly building the NBA like infrastructure - they would recruit old school if they choose to (Woodson made that voluntary - sorry couldn't help my self) and Coach. The new NIL junk they hate - they wouldn't have to deal with. They come up with a list of who they want and hand it off to their negotiators. Apparently how Saban ran Alabama long before NIL :) 

Indiana should look at what ND is doing in this regard for football and copy it. Basically they have a recruiting guy/asst GM and then a GM for all the NiL and transfer market stuff. They hired a guy from the Detroit lions to run it like a pro shop.  This should free up the coaches to coach more and recruit less.  IU could reach out to Lawrence Frank or somebody and see who the hottest young talent scout is in the NBA. 
 

I do wonder if an IU/UNC/KU level school set that’s type of turnkey operation up, if you couldn’t get a Wright or Bennett type to come back.

Last year, even though the BOT voted to keep Woodson for one more year, was there not anyway for Pam Whitten to step in and overturn that considering SD supposedly was wanting to move on Dusty?

If anything, maybe Dolson asked Goodman and Stevens to squash IU fans speculation early so that people have some time to come to grips with their crushed dreams before the new hire is announced, lol. Give the next guy a fair shake when he's introduced even if he's not named Brad Stevens... Just another thought... Not saying that's the case.
