I don’t pay for Peegs content, but someone on another site said Rabjohns hinted that Dolson has his guy and is hiring the search firm just for optics.

I highly doubt he “has his guy” at this point. None of these college coaches are making deals right now and the Celtics are in second place in the east. Maybe more along the lines of we will listen after the season

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 think there are some jobs — or were, even SEC football powers actually make smart basketball hires now — where an AD can basically make the football program work and be seen as a success. Once upon a time, if they needed to hire a basketball coach, they might really lean into connections from their own prior stops and a search firm’s work, and end up with a guy who got a favor because the firm owed his agent and he had a passable resume.

IU isn’t that job and IU doesn’t have that kind of AD. Search firms are able to help with things like backup checks, maybe keeping some comms out of FOIA-susceptible places, maintaining plausible deniability, etc.

So yeah even if Dolson is laser-focused on one guy, and they’re more-or-less communicating without intermediaries, there’s some reason to hire a firm.

Here's a question:

How many people are there below the age of 50 who served as head coach of an NCAA men's basketball team that appeared in a Final Four?

Never mind, the answer is three.  Please correct me if I'm wrong.  Can you name them?

Bonus question:

And this is just a question.  Not directed at anyone, but an honest question.

How much of a role do you suppose financial or material inducements (NIL, cars, houses, a tractor) played in building those final four rosters?

I can think of 4 off the top of my head without even researching…

Stevens

May

Knight

Donovan

Knight won at age 36

Donovan won 2 in a row at ages 40-41

Well obviously right now. He also had the resources at Kansas.  Still couldn’t pull off a natty with them as well. May is smarter. Just my opinion. 

I think May might be a better coach. Williams was great at playing “the game” to win though.

Half the fan base won’t be against but the love May gets on this board doesn’t exist with the average fan. He wouldn’t win the presser at this point. That might change if he makes a deep run in the tournament.

I think Dusty May wins the press conference more than Beard. 

But I think Beard wins more games. 

And titles.

This talk about Dolson "having his guy" is reminding me of when people thought Keion Brooks had secretly signed his letter of intent to play at IU. That ruse went on for weeks and people actually believed it. 

TJD doing that had everyone’s hopes up in that situation lol

When Dusty was asked about the IU job in the postgame conference he did not demonstrably deny interest and therefore he tacitly indicated he would take the job.

There wasn't much he could do or say... I think I heard some dance music swelling int he background.

Why is TJ more attractive than May? ISU has been terrible lately.

I like Otz, and @AZ Hoosier had a good response. I think before this year there were more folks discounting what May did at FAU since it isn’t a high-level conference.

Even so, he's not coming here and I'd put money on it

That's your opinion which you're entitled to have. I wasn't trying to persuade you one way or another, just pointing out that what you were saying about his buyout was incorrect.
