Someone gave Dolson a list of coaching candidates and he misread it as a list of everyone to hire.

Brad Stevens for DOBO, lol

I have to imagine this comes with “heir apparent” strings unless he was downgraded at MSU. He was long thought to be next in line to replace Izzo. Must have got tired of waiting. Either way, great hire. I’d love to know more about his recruiting record but I expect him to be a very solid X’s & O’s guy as a former PG and high level QB in high school.

Dane eyeing the Hubert hire at UNC and CMW’s age and fitting himself right into that possible coach-in-waiting role.

TJD excited like we are

He’ll always have a spot as the video coordinator and full time golf cart driver for recruiting visits

Michigan State was in Keion Brooks’ final four. I wonder if Fife was the lead assistant on him?

From Dane's 247, looks like he did at least one in-home visit with Brooks back in 2018. Would assume he would be involved this time around.

Hey the Masshole thing is only temporary. He can become anything depending on where he goes. 

[Banksyrules]

This is impressive. 

[JaybobHoosier]

Love this and welcome home Dane!!! Great hire and this program is really cookin. Assembly Hall will be rocking when this coaching staff is announced for the first game!

He will never play college basketball

This is awesome with capital A. I thought from the beginning if Stevens was out of reach, I wanted Beilein and Fife. But Woodson and Fife is even better, and this move is for the next 30 years. 

[IUwins0708]

Time for Lewis to come along for the ride. He and Fife are good buddies!

[IUc2016]

By my count we are at 29 years of Big ten Head/assistant coaching experience between Matta, Hunter, and Fife. That is pretty impressive. 

[Crazy about IU]

Welcome back I think this is a good idea.

He can bring his big city driving experience to little city Bloomington. He even mentioned his driving in the press conference saying he likes to swerve around cars.
