Not this time 

Is it a name we are expecting/have heard about it out of left field?

[Bgrimm4 83]

Unfortunately I wasn’t able to watch IU during their prime years. The only times I’ve been overly excited was

-2002 championship game against Maryland. (Ended poorly)

-2012-13 season (Ended Poorly)

-This offseason, with hopes of finally bringing in Stevens. (Appears to have ended poorly)

I’m still hopeful we land a great coach, it’s just not the result I had hoped for.

 

 

Edit: Just saw 0708’s latest post...no longer hopeful I guess. Lol

Is Chris Mack lateral? Just trying to come up with someone that would be lateral, not terrible, but also a big disappointing.

I’m done saying who I think it is or might be.  Sure hope I’m wrong but this would make me think Dolson is an idiot a couple of days after I was ready to crown him the King.  Please be wrong!!

[Hoosierfan222 734]

Oh it’s probably Woodson isn’t it lol

Don’t have to say it’s going to happen just a name you heard mentioned...so then a thread could be created and we can bash it in one location LOL

If it's Alford I will be done following IU mens basketball.   Will still follow everything else IU, but not mens basketball

I would kind of strongly disagree.

I got to say if they hire Woodson with a really bad pro coaching record and no college experience... never recruited etc I don’t know what to think of that

[Five Prime 1,076]

This hire is going to be divisive no matter who it is at this point.  I think IU basketball is in a really tough spot until we actually see some consistent winning.  Hopefully that happens in the next couple decades. 

[Hoosierfan1901 6,013]

I hope it’s just talks and little interest right now and no offer

Woodson was in a no win situation early in his pro coaching career and he wouldn’t be coming alone.

[Hoosierfan1901 6,013]

If an offer is made, Dolson is going to from being well liked to one of the worst liked people in the Administration 

[Hoosier1984 1,548]

Is it the USC coach? Chris007 mentioned him previously.

He’s not leaving but I’d say it’s an upgrade. He has a personality at least. Archie is pretty flat :( 

[Hoosierfan222 734]

I’d say this if it’s Woodson, I’ll root for him as hard as anyone for an IU guy to succeed... but no college coaching experience and he’s 62....

Who’s he bringing? If it’s Lewis or fife I can live with it

And he turns 63 in a few days. This would be an incredible letdown, which is why it will probably happen. So predictable it would come to this, just 24 hours after we thought we were getting our dream candidate. This poor program just can't ever catch a break.

I'll say this if it's Woodson. I'm more concerned with winning on the court as that is the ultimate goal, but a Woodson hiring would be a huge, massive L in terms of winning the press conference.
