This said the bu6out is $8.3 million:

I think there's a very good chance that the writer misunderstood the contract.

Talk to the mods, they'll get you a refund since you're not pleased with the product.

Thanks for contributing this gem of insight into the coaching search.

They're still running that "double your money back" guarantee for subscribers, right?

You just made my point. No one here is asking anything. Just spending time saying nonsense. I was hoping for news or insight. Not just look at me posts.

Why would you think there will be any concrete news on here. This is a message board and it is for speculation. Nobody on here knows anything so people argue about who they think is the best candidate.

Indy?

Totally sensible to me that, adjacent to @8bucks question earlier and adding to @Trish’s answer, you’d have regional scouts camped out at tournaments and execs either popping in to one for a day or maybe catching one near their team. Not sure how normal it would be to go to 3 in 4 days (if this were to happen) even if one of the three was to watch family play. Maybe it is! Seems at least a little atypical to me, not trying to stir the pot though.

Seems like Collins will be interested, I think McCollum might be too (just a hunch).

That could be true.

Just briefly, at a certain level of giving, each donor gets assigned a “contact person” in the AD’s office (associate AD, assistant AD, etc.).  If the donor wants info about anything, they go to their contact person.  The names that that been passed along and generally picked up by the “media” (Goodman, etc.) are names that these contacts are giving to the donors.  Unless you believe a name like Beard is actually a candidate, they are false flags.

That makes complete sense. It's similar to the big season ticket holders in the NBA having sales executives at the team that they can call and contact for various things, and the ticket holders often try and get info from them.  

We're probably just talking semantics here, but I don't think those contacts are putting out planned "smokescreens" directed by the organization. 

Those contacts don't really know anything either. They're just trying to schmooze their season ticket holder (donor in this case) and have polite conversation. 

I don't think It's like coordinated misinformation.

I just can't wait for this to be over with and get the next chapter started.

Agreed. We're way behind schedule on being underwhelmed and contemplating skydiving without a parachute.

I can assure you there are people under Dolson sending out false flags.

100% these people are either getting bits and pieces of the real story or aren’t getting anything but using their position around the situation to seem relevant to their friends.

if folks signed NDAs but are still leaking info on the daily to their friends for them to pump gifs on a message board then Dolson needs to reevaluate  his inner circle

I don't see McCollum being interested in Villanova

It’s really smart to come to a message board when looking for real time breaking news when this coaching search has been so tight lipped. 
 

kudos to you, sir

If you can’t divine the meaning of the bangin gifs on this board, not sure how to help you.

Well, not only to come to a message board, but then complain to said message board for lack of relevant information.

He would not be interested.  Don’t see him leaving for a big city like that.

It's mostly the scouts that are on the road throughout the year. Executives like Brad often just stick to the holiday tournaments in the Bahamas. 

Most of the time, scouts/executives wear normal clothing, no brand affiliation. It varies. 

Would agree however executives can and do show up for conference and NCAA tournament games.  And agree on not wearing team gear—especially Brad.

If several contacts give out the same misinformation, wouldn’t it seem coordinated?

Only 3 years, terrible admin/fan base.
