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

The uncertainty of this is the reason why I don’t understand putting so much mental energy into what folks with insider info say. Not because I think they are lying (maybe some are trolls). But because it doesn’t make sense that on the one hand, Dolson is being super secretive but on the other, insiders are spilling the beans and it gets posted on forums. I can’t reconcile those two. So, as much as I want to know who it is, I choose to not believe jack squat until we have an announcement or a leak that seems so definitive that it makes sense.

I think it’s a good day to go outside to get some fresh air. I think I’m going to get on the McCollum train if there is room. But I have no idea who the next coach will be. All of this is exhausting.

....You have to admit, RTZ was pretty bold with his last photo.

You know this how? You are the only person saying this. I think I believe what Jerry and the rest of the people with info are saying.

Jerry and the others aren't saying anything -- because there is nothing to say.  Keeping a "lid" on it until later this week when the tourney gets underway is unlikely as hell.  Today would be the day for any announcement -- right between selection and the first four.  

I know this because I can add and read between the lines.  There are 3 possible "Home Run" hires -- guys who would basically guarantee IU would be dancing next year:  Brad Stevens, Jay Wright, and Dusty May.  Stevens and Wright are not coaching and there is not reason they could not have been announced weeks ago, let alone today.  Guys know time is of the essence and would want to hit the ground running full speed.  

Dusty signed his extension at Michigan -- so it's not like Scott was on the phone after Woody quit and and saying "Dusty, how does $$$$ sound?" 

Guys who might be "Home Runs" -- Pearl, Wade, Beard -- aren't realistic because of their baggage or circumstances. 

That leaves everyone else -- McCollum, Cronin, Brownsomething, DeVries, McDermmot, etc.  All of them are probably "solid" hires, but they may take some time to build something at IU, or they may crash and burn.  Definitely TBD.  But there is no evidence that Scott has gone and seen any of them.  These guys aren't hired over zoom -- a personal meeting takes place at some point.  

Which means, exactly what I said.  They have a list.  They probably have vetted certain guys.  Maybe even know the possibilities and likelihoods.  And when the coach exits the tournament, the scramble will begin -- along with Iowa, et. al.  We may hit, we may miss.  Nothing is set in stone.   Meanwhile, the portal opens and everyone else starts moving forward.  We are still looking for a coach.  Just the way I see it.  I pray I am wrong.

Woody’s gonna be back, isn’t he? Doesn’t matter who’s on your list if they all say no.  If I’m Dolson & it gets down to Brownell, why pay the $8million buyout for Woody & for Brownell?  Think about that, $16 million + $5-6 annually for Brad Brownell?  SD should be fired if that’s where we end up, but if McCollum goes to Iowa, welp…

RTZ posted the Pilot Brad pic less than an hour ago, and that's already 10 pages deep. We're all crazy, folks...

People will attached themselves to what they want.  To me the guy who came in talking about DD talking about having their coach and then McCollum magically appears on his show isn't a coincidence.
