This kinda stuff doesn't get leaked without it being close to a sure thing.  Ben McCollum will be the next basketball coach. 

Let’s hope!!!! :) lmao

If it’s indeed Ben, can we all agree that Indiana isn’t a powerhouse program? 

Hasn’t been for at least 9 years.  Just some have held onto hope for way too long.  On court result matter and IU has been a middle of the pack B1G team.  People see what they want to see though

I think we should be in a category that does not yet exist. Legacy school. We are a legacy school currently. We have a deep and storied tradition with many game changing moments in our history. I’m sure someone more eloquent could add to that definition.

If that’s the same as saying the job isn’t that desirable then, yes, I agree.

Sorry but I'm way more interested in giving McCullum a go than I am the likes of freakin' Brownell! There is quite a bit more possible upside to McCullum. Brownell is the equivalent of whiskey d*ck. 

100%.   With McCollum he could make himself one of the elite guys at Indiana.  Way better than a retread like Brownell. I know you could have said the same thing about Archie, but lets hope it works out in this case.

When it isn't Brad, I'm going to need a tell-all from some people about what happened the last month+. Not as a gotcha or to prove they know people, but to try to make sense of a whole heap of coincidences and not just from tracking random flights.

I am more interested in the other tell all book.  You know the one where it is Brad

If things go a certain way, IU could miss the tournament, and McCollum could coach them in the Crown! ;)

I can tell you it’s not. Indiana and McCollum have been talking since January.

Does Iowa fire Fran to keep Ben home quickly?

How F'ed up  would it be to have a new coach hosting portal guys while Woodson is coaching whatever players were still around for it? Would the block off time for use of the office?

 

They just said Chris Collins said NW would not be playing in either of the two other post season tourneys.  So maybe they can be declined.

The question is whether or not the automatic bid teams can decline the invitation. NW is not in the running for one of those two automatic bids. If (when?) IU misses the NCAA, they would be one of the automatic bids with the other probably being OSU.

I will be happy when this Woody culture gets flushed down the toilet.

The fans did everything they could to show support to this team today. The team came out flat and uninspired and yet we sat there cheering trying to give them energy. Just exhausting. 

Making excuses for losing. I would never root for IU to lose. Also I would never boo a team or IU  player. But I would express my disappointment for lack of effort on social forums. Plus my opinion on what I feel has been poor coaching. All I can say it tufting up buttercup life ant always peaches and cream.

Bingo.  Crowd was great today, did all we could to help.

Looked thin on TV for an IU game in Indianapolis.

McCollum is gonna take the IU job to cement his legacy as one of the greats and restore IU basketball to blue blood status. 

Argue with somebody else about it. Dolson knows ball.

[WayneFleekHoosier]

Goodness.  McCollum goes from competing in a Guppy Bowl to the Shark Tank in 1 season.  He will be eaten alive.  We’ve got a Archie Miller part 2 upcoming.  Has no idea what it takes at that level to win and recruit.  F me.
