Developing a “no crises on game days” theory, I stated my guess that after the game/tomorrow we’ll get some kind of juicy tidbit.

You might be on to something. I will monitor the coming 24 hours closely.

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

I’m 27 now and there has been one final 4 in my life. I’ll settle for one and I’m willing to guarantee the top 5 defense. He’s had a top 10 defense every year at Iowa st and i assume he’d get better players with us

That's because of every reason I detailed before.  This is the first unobstructed men's basketball hire at Indiana University since 1971. TJ Otzelberger has never been past the round of 16, never won his conference at the D1 level, has had 2 losing records in conference in 33% of his D1 seasons, and I just don't see why he's any more special than anyone else.

Nope.  They provide zero transparency.  They don't even provide the basic financial updates they promise to their donors on their crappy website.  

It's easy to do, and until they do that, it's shady behavior.

Not that I’m inclined to do so but couldn’t you technically set up an NIL collective on the blockchain to provide maximum transparency? Would seem to be the solution for avoiding shady situations, as long as the rules allow for us to know how much athletes are getting paid.

Could you explain why you like Brad Brownell and not use the words "from Indiana" in your explanation?

Maybe he's getting more info about when the announcement might be made, maybe he's finding out if they want to live in the North or South district, it could be anything

Dont forget the private plane trips to Carmel for club soccer.  Coordinating which club can be tricky.  So far he has not said no to any clubs I know of.

Honest question I really don’t know.  Do you think the 2017 hire was obstructed?  Glass seemed to just do what he wanted, which was good, only issue was he wasn’t experienced in hiring coaches.  I know Quinn was pushing Woody but he was ignored.

Just to reiterate I agree with your point that we have a competent AD allowed to make this hire without interference and also this time with NIL/rev share the size and advantages of IU should be better appreciated by coach candidates.

Glass went all in on Donovan in 2017.  He couldn’t close the deal and then went out and hired the flavor of the month.  That was 100% on Glass.  Archie should’ve been vetted a lot more.

That would be a great way to audit a collective.  Even if the players names were kept out of it people could probably guess who got what amounts, not sure what to do with that.

I’d be happy with a very basic accountant’s review of their books — money in and money out.  We have plenty of alumni who would do this for free, it’s easy.

There are ups and downs. @GP711 and I say when is the mid-day crisis going to come today? It's like a roller coaster. 

Right? Two things seem to happen every friggin' day:

1.) It's for sure not going to be Stevens at some point during the day. 

2.) Some odd choice comes to the forefront. 

It's nearly 3:00.

Bob Knight supported the Archie hire, even. He was very highly thought of by coaches and basketball folks around the country before being hired at Indiana. It wasn't like Glass just panicked out of anxiety and picked Archie Miller out of a hat. He sucked while he was here, but he was thought of as near of a can't miss as has been out there.

It seems like, thankfully, Hoosiers Connect has really taken over our NIL space. Does anyone know how much HH are even dealing with now that they got shut out of basketball? I'd prefer that to be zero and it kind of seems it's heading that way unless I'm missing something. Between HC and rev share those guys shouldn't be touching a cent of fan to player money.

Dusty seems/seemed like the perfect fit.  I thought for sure it would be him.

I could easily see it being Cronin.  If I had to bet, it would be on him.  

I could somewhat see Drew or TJ.  Seem like longer shots.

Someone not coaching would make a Ton of sense if that is out there (Bennett, Stevens, ???)

Bennett would seem like a really odd choice. He seemed really disenchanted with coaching near the end and basically just gave up on it. 

What kind of fire would he have left to start over? 

I wouldn't want Bennett at all...
