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

I can see Celtics fans being upset over a coach or player leaving, but I find it hard to believe they would lose much sleep over someone from upper management leaving to coach a college team!

They burn couches when they win championships. I don’t think we want to try to predict their behavior in a given circumstance.

Stop spreading rumors here for the sake of it or else…….

That really irked me that mod did that on HSN. As someone who founded that original site, very, very upsetting. Makes you wonder why they have a lot less posters over there?! 

As another former mod there, yup

That was unbelievable.  Especially coming right after he (and a couple others) gave us the info on the Woodson “retirement” a day before it was announced.

Appreciate it! I didn’t mean to be hostile if that’s how I came off. I am open to other options but he is choice 1 2 3 4 and 5 for me. After that we can call Dusty or whoever else may be involved. Mark Few wouldn’t be a bad consolation prize either.

Yes welcome, seems this board has grown a ton in the last few days.

look, I’m fine with Stevens if that is who we end up with but I think the obsession with Stevens by some is one, manifested by the fact that many have stated that he is Dolson’s top target and he might be in play and two, that human nature loves a good chase and he has been our chase for a while regardless of whether it still makes sense to or not.

Indiana continues to fight doing the obvious and that has led us down the wrong paths over and over again. You don’t always have to outthink the room. When Pitino, Calipari, Stevens etc wanted to come here ages ago we should have moved but we didn’t. When May, Pearl etc wanted to come here we should have jumped and we didn’t. When Beard and Few want to come here we should jump but we won’t.

Stevens hasn’t coached in college since recruits were in pre-school. As soon as his core left butler his winning tapered off and he bolted. He won early in the nba and then winnning tapered off and he bolted. He has used us as a bargaining chip now each time his contract is in doubt. Maybe he comes and is wildly successful but I have my doubts on both coming and being wildly successful, meanwhile watching coaches like Pearl, Few Beard compete for national championships elsewhere.

How soon does Michigan try and extend Dusty with the most recent news?

If he signs an extension then he was never really a serious option for IU unless IU has already announced a coach.

Scott asked him last March if he was ready. He said not until they won the championship or had to break up the team. They won.

Just kept talking to him, his family, his dad who played football at IU. Stayed in touch as a friend. Then picked back up the conversation around Thanksgiving all the way up to now. He wanted some assurances about NIL, which we gave. Plus a 10 year deal means their set up for future.

Those are some pretty specific details to just be made up on the fly by someone who doesn’t know what they’re talking about. Just sayin’

I still can't see May leaving his team last year for a 1 year rental at a P4 school if he knew the IU job was going to open! The only way I see it is if Scott told him prove yourself if you want this job, but that doesn't really make any sense to me.
