My question is and I honestly don’t know so anyone that does, please share. If it is contracted/signed as he mentions here and as was circulating yesterday locally, how could I currently employed NCAA coach sign a contract while still coaching games for another school? Maybe signed a letter of intent or something?

Especially without the current school knowing. I find it hard to believe that we signed a coach to a contract and the current school is simply oblivious to it while the coach is going through the tournament. But, maybe that can happen.

So if coaching changes is reliable. Big if! If it's contracted it can't be a current head coach correct? Wouldn't that be a major bad look to their current employer?

Depends on coaching changes definition of contracted

Clearly I don't know but I'd be willing to bet that happens more often than any of us would think.

With Brads money they could live in Bloomington and he could fly his daughter to school in Boston!

Yea, but there is a lot of legal stuff behind that and most coaches avoid it. Most recent one to my knowledge was Lincoln Riley signing his Contract with USC during the regular season.

I listened to the Tom Crean interview with the Hysterics (I can’t stand them but just wanted to listen to him, and it was absolutely worth a listen) and he described how the hiring process went down with IU.

They met at a neutral site away from Milwaukee and Bloomington, in a hotel. Everything very hush-hush. The deal was in place immediately after his Marquette team was knocked out of the tournament. There had been backchannel discussions before in-person meetings. Marquette didn’t know any of it was going on until he’d signed.

And that I can see. It’s the still coaching part.

Oh man, so it could be someone coaching.

I, for one, refuse to believe that Dolson gave Brad 6 weeks to make up his mind, with the decision hinging on the whims of his 16 year old daughter.

There is far too much hinging on this hire, including Dolson’s livelihood, for him to put this in her hands.

I am down to squash the beef. This search just has us all on edge and I’ve been especially cranky the past few days haha. Ready for it to be over. We all want what’s best for IU… sounds like we will find out soon enough. Looking forward to supporting the next coach. 

Consider is squashed!

And this is the most likely scenario. Of course there have been back channel discussions with whomever it actually is, and it's (imo) highly likely that it's a coach whose team is still playing (otherwise, just why??, and no it's not Brad, good grief already). The longer this goes on, imo, the more likely we've got a coach who's doing well in the NCAA tourney.

The search has worn on me. We all just want to know already. I appreciate posters with a track record sharing what they hear and having a conversation. I’ve got no patience for new accounts peddling fanciful rumors that don’t pan out continuing to string people along. Maybe it’s because I’m from New Jersey and don’t know how to act when I smell bull****

You're not alone, brother... agree 100%...

If this is true, then the coach isn’t currently coaching.

Also this account typically is very good about clarifying how many sources and the quality of those sources. They say this one is “unimpeachable”. If this person has heard it is contracted already, that would make me very excited.

I know others have asked, just how unusual would it be for a current coach in the tournament to have signed a contract to take over at IU once their season ends? Less likely than a guy who’s not actively coaching, sure.

The pace of play ranking #347 out of 360+ schools is a concern offensively. 

Pace of play isn't  just  a  product of a methodical offense, it also reflects a defense that makes the opponent work for open shots.

Drake ranked 41st in points per 100 possessions while their opponents ranked 350th. They  also were #1 in steal %, 13th in Reb %
