What in the holy HELL is going on?! :/

A disinformation campaign by the AD.  It seems to be working.  This is encouraging to me...

Do you really believe that the program doesn’t look terrible right now? 

Bingo! Now you get it. 

It looks like a program that a reporter for The Stadium made about ten snarky tweets about. Because even if those tweets are true (many were obvious trolling, some were probably true) he knows that people care about IUBB and college bball fans find it interesting. That's about it.

Not a "national embarrassment."

Some of us may need to take a walk or go enjoy a bag of Oreos... Really, the extremes that some jump to are almost comical. If UK or PU fans were posting the kinds of things a few of the posters on here were posting based primarily off tweets, rumblings,  and whispers... we’d be rolling on the floor laughing.  Relax. Everything will be fine. And at the end of the day it’s basketball.

They don't seem to understand that howling at every tweet that the program is an embarrassment is an embarrassment to the program.

I just question how much longer this can go on? Who benefits from continuing to keep it a secret? Half our team is in the transfer portal and we've got people like Goodman trying to make us look so desperate that we're reaching out to a conference rival that's been more successful than us.

Update:

I don't give a s*** what other fan bases say about us. Hire a coach. Win games.

I don’t think there is any secret... we don’t have a coach yet and are reaching out trying to gage interest

It's the classic 'Who's on first?' shtick, we're probably only on third base right now. This may go on a bit more. Have a drink and enjoy the chaos.

yes! that's 10!

If its brad it can go on a while and we survive. Anybody else and were in trouble. I think we hire the iu guy by now imo. I think current coaches still possible including beard but Anybody else are probably out. My gut starting to say stevens

If you think this site is bad the Peegs people are about to burn it down over there. They are asking Rabby about the rabbit haha. Entertainment

[Hardwood83 4,512]

So according to Goodman who all have we pursued now?  I don't dispute he "heard" this about Holtman I have a hard time believing it's true though.

What’s the rabbit in reference to

A surprise announcement by IU (many speculating Stevens). He said he’s trying to confirm it.

I think it is fair to say that Goodman has excellent sources as related to Ohio State. Archie...Matta,... now Holtmann. My guess is that Goodman does not have nearly as good sources in knowing who we inquired about at other programs.

This is why Dakich, who is HIGHLY opinionated, AND bleeds Cream & Crimson, says "f-em all. Let's hire an IU guy and go kick all their a$$e$."

And while that's certainly not the only valid perspective or excellent coaching choice,

he's got a point.

Who cares.

I think this is the wrong thought regarding the IU guys.  Any of them will take the job at any point in time.  You exhaust your top options first, and can hire the IU guy the day of the first game.
