What a day! You guys have covered a ton of content.  You might want to slow down, we only have a couple of weeks left of time to fill.
 
1) The religion conversation fascinates me.  One's perspective on the topic is almost always significantly (maybe exclusively) colored by their personal interactions with people who claim religious belief.  I have no issue with any religious person coaching the team.  I honestly don't have an issue with a coach encouraging the players to engage in religious practices.  As long as it isn't mandated.  Interesting side note, look at Ohio State and Notre Dame by most accounts, significant portions of their football rosters essentially had a religious revival during the season.  It didn't seem to get in the way of performance.  These players are not high schoolers, they are adults.  They can make decisions about what they want to believe or not believe without being sheltered.
 
2. I can only imagine Mark Few leaving for a couple of very unlikely reasons.  a) inside pressure from Gonzaga. b) An up and coming heir apparent on his staff that is potentially being wooed to another coaching gig. c) both and.  These don't seem reasonable.  I think a National Championship at Indiana, in many ways, would contradict what he has worked to prove his entire career: it is possible to win a title at any school no matter how small.  He ain't leaving the west coast.
3) [mention=8150]Scott_b[/mention] is taking a lot of fire, but as some of you on this board know a member of the coaching staff who is not a Woodson man has been saying that Stevens had a meeting with Dolson and told him no before 2/14.  So Scott's claim is not without supporting information.
 
4) I will still enjoy Scott performing YMCA behind the bench at tonight's game.
 
5) There is talk among the staff that a certain coach is being lobbied for heavily by Dolson.  Think James Harden.

Herb Sendek or Tyronn Lue.

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

Are Woody and Dolson on speaking terms post “retire your backside”? I can’t imagine they are. It was my understanding there wasn’t the warmest of feelings there. And I’m pretty sure everyone in the AD who would be involved are on NDAs and that’s a select few. Dunno tho. 

Is it unreasonable to think that Buckner is keeping him informed though?  I think not, but then again my opinion of QB is about as low as it can get tbh…

I also happen to believe that retreads(couldn’t hack it at other jobs like ISU in McDermott’s case) should be dq’d from our search,

Iowa st was before he got to Creighton.  Seems to me he learned from his mistakes and got better.   If his results are not good enough for some then good luck in finding an obtainable coach that can produce better results then those in the last 5 years.

I have not heard anyone on here say that someone on the staff said Brad and Dolson met and he told him no? I’ve heard it’s been on other sites. If it’s been on here before I would love who on staff said that. 
 

Herb Sendek coached Harden. Is that who you’re talking about :-)

Can only imagine. I said I felt word would leak by this weekend. But as you know, it’s been way quieter than expected. Sure I’ll be run out of town in no time lol. Again, appreciate all the info you bring here 

Only thing I've heard is 'don't expect to hear anything' but as I've said my contacts are not as connected as some here.

Surely you have ran across one! Think

He’s on the clipppers …. LA … Cronin?  Lawrence Frank is there too  

was drafted by Oklahoma, but I don’t think he played for Donovan.  Played at ASU for Archie’s mentor - Herb Sendek. 
 

he played for McHale right? Anyone from the Celtics org that IU would be interested in?!?

Buckner is not involved in the hiring until they are at final approval. His involvement is what leads us to our current predicament. This is Dolson’s show and his alone.

Wait, you think some of the info that comes here is from Mike Woodson?! Now I've heard everything. He obviously knows a ton of people, I never said he didn't. To think Mike Woodson is the one pulling the strings behind the scenes leaking names is legitimately the funniest thing I've read all day.

That’s what you took from the post? You said Woodson would be the last one to know. He might be the last person Dolson would tell but that is irrelevant. A lot of the leaks come from PLAYERS, COACHES, BOT, DONORS and he is connected with those people every day. Therefore leaks that hit massage boards are rarely coming from Dolson or the coach, it comes from those groups above and maybe a few other people - and yes, if the poster here is to be believed, apparently info is coming from Woodson too.

I said I had no issues with his coaching. I mean it's getting weird that I get messages from people who have said that I have said things I have never said. 

You called him a nut job for being religious lol.

You're not pumping a lot of sunshine right now :-). I'm just messing. My only concern with Drew is he's a religious nutjob but nothing with his basketball coaching ability.
