General Coach Candidate News

I like Buzz, can I fly or drive in to consult on some new wardrobe stuff if he’s the guy? I will NOT be watching him wear a vest from a 3-piece suit with no jacket.

I'll be honest I'm not a vest type of guy

Not into the '20s gangsta look???

Easy on the vest talk, fellas.

...that's what I was getting to. Things like this could tell alot when certain high profile names get eliminated when they are officially off the market.

....I can see where a good, tight fitting one will pass as a men's corset to hold in his belly! lol

No white suits.

Good luck watching this and not falling in love with Buzz! Holy smokes!

I am pretty good at catching a buzz, so maybe I should be on board with him.

Michigan is going to say they are working on an extension for may to keep chatter down more to keep the noise silent for the players. May has already told Michigan that he isn't interested in contract talk until season end, could that change? sure, but right now nothing is in the works for may contract wise. 

 

With that being said, brad is still the guy. He is the guy until he's not by his doing. Happy search season everyone!

Oh come on. At the very least he could be Coach McLovin.

Feels like whenever a new poster comes along with insider cred, mods figure it out pretty quick. Thinking of when Chris came around with Romeo news, for example.

So uh…GP, do you have the goods? Welcome aboard, regardless.

Buzz Williams is the one who wrote an essay and presented it to the media after his team didn’t make it in the tourney a few years ago lol

My name wouldn't be one anyone would recognize lol. I happen to have lucked into some friendships of people in particular places. My intel would be useless if those people left. I share what i hear, if i cant confirm it i don't share it without stating so. Happy to be here!

Here is a question?

Say Dolson lines up Stevens. Does he give his buddy, Dusty, a heads up before the announcement to allow him to use the leverage before it is lost?

Yes. But if Dusty continues to perform, the results and his merit in the job will take care of the leverage.  Some other big jobs will open eventually too … UNC, MSU, etc.

An analogy, IMO...

Picking out a great coach from the lower ranks is a lot like betting on a penny stock.

For the situation IU is in, we're looking for a blue chip guy to come in and pay dividends right away.

There could be higher upside to buying in early, but we need stability and good yield right away.

...In a different cycle I'd love taking a flyer on McCollum. Don't think it's in the cards this time around though.

Makes sense.

And on this analogy, regardless of who we get, I want Scott digging deep so we trade on as much insider info as possible.
