Can you offer a little more clarity to that?

I’m still glad they fired Archie because he flat out sucked but this will be a lateral move. 

That sounds encouraging...

Rug-roh. “Lateral to Archie” sounds pretty bad truthfully.

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

[Bgrimm4]

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]

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.

[HoosierBoiler]

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]

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]

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]

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

[Hoosier1984]

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]

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....
