As much as people are talking about him, I’d be shocked if it was.

Exactly this. Our closes source to Scott Dolson is Zach Ostermann. He came out and said no one know anything and that this is the closes tight lipped coaching search that he's conducted at Indiana. 

Pete Thamel and other media can report all the names they want, they are getting their names from their agents in order to get contract extensions + new jobs.

ok but that's not just "D2 success" ..... far, far beyond that. 

I would value what McCollum has done more to significantly more than what DeVries has done. 

Fair. Some people say Archie had the better resume bc he had success at the D1 level.

It is a shame so many posters on this board, many regulars along with some newbies have taken to attack and demean @Chris007, @RoadToZion, @JerryYeagley23 .  "oh we dont like being trolled" "dont tell us stuff that might not turn out to be true" ...If you have been paying attention Chris has said so many times that if he were to guess if it were BS it would be less than 50%.  Even yesterday he was questioning how "homerun" was defined.  RTZ has not changed his position yet nor has JY.  The RTZ comment it is dead, then the undertaker plus Tony,Toni...post on the bunt could mean they pivoted to a different big hire.  

The thing is, anyone better than a risinig star as a coach would be on par with what our peers have done over the last decade.  Have they suggested it is a bigger fish, sure.  Is it still possible, sure.  Could it be a swing and a miss, sure, but so many of you get personal with the attacks on people on here that are our community/friends. 

 

 

The aforementioned complainers need to throw their money at Rabby if they want facts.

I think Archie had a solid resume, yes.

BM isn’t my favorite candidate either but you have 0 evidence he won’t work out until he actually coaches. 

Yeah, he's a slight lean towards the will work out based on his past.  You just never really know and it could go either way.  Odds are he'll have some growing pains though.

Archie was a HC for 6 years, I think McCollum will be going on like 16-18 years if he were to be hired… big difference IMO. 

Fair.  It seems like the concern is that McCollum “hasn’t proved it at the D1 level yet”.

It's scary the amount of people who seem convinced he would kill it here because he won at d2 and they are impressed the way he talks about x and o's. The fishbowl could swallow him up in two seconds and I'd love to hear the excuses at that point.

I'm not convinced he's going to kill it but I'm willing to give him the chance.  He says a lot of the right things, things we bitched about other coaches not doing.  If he's as calculated about basketball as he is the other aspects of being the head of a program like IU I think he'll be fine.  Everyone who's been a great hire had someone take a chance on them.

The Archie thing made me re-evaluate how I look at coaching resumes, and give more weight to comparative success. Archie was very good, but there have been a lot of good coaches at Dayton; I now think that a coach like Miller would be expected to have a team with more favorable predictive metrics than Dayton ever had during his time there. 

Hindsight is 20/20, but I think that's a relevant insight.
