Simple matter of playing the odds. Even a blind squirrel finds an acorn on that rare occasion. 

Could also be the first time since the Knight firing that our AD is able to go out do a search and make a hire on his own without a bunch of mindless bureaucrats meddling in the process.

I am very optimistic this time if we don’t hire Dusty.

Sorry I’m not totally following , but do you like Dusty or don’t want him?

Yeah his security guy at IUPD has been telling people that Woodson told him this is his last season because IU wants Stevens.

Get your facts right ole Chrisypoo

They are already talking with him.  I wouldn’t be shocked if he is the coach at the end of the day.  

Better not be their 1st option

Have had an epiphany. Beard to IU as what? The answer is Associate Head Coach for…….Brad Stevens. And now it all makes sense. Brad isn’t just some coach/executive. He is, in fact, Keyser Soze. He’s able to simply bend men’s wills to his own, or so I keep hearing.  And Beard is his Kobayashi. IU basketball is about to enter a golden age that John Wooden only dreamed of. Schools will hang banners for LOSING NC’s to this monolith. And, my friends, the dawn of a new age is only 2 short months away. 

Pro tip: cut the gummy in half next time.

Wow, Mr. One Post hops in with a horribly vague and stupid first post.

10 mgs is the pro move, a half is like drinking decaf

Baloney.  30 minutes ago you said they were ‘talking to like 10 coaches right now.

I think he’s a bad fit.  But I also think he’s the most likely hire unfortunately.

Person I know says Woodson is done.  They are talking with like 10 coaches right now.  McCollum is one of them and has a pretty good chance.  Very likable.  They will go for the big dogs first but wouldn’t be shocked if it’s him either. Very likeable and a lot of coaches like him as well.  

And the other 9 are?

Similar demeanor to Stevens. I think an Oats, Pearl, Otzwlberger are better fits

Nah.  Stevens is a lot more like Coach K.  I’m sure Dusty is an extremely nice guy and that’s a lot of the problem.

As skeptical as I am, I'd love for IU to finally hire a big dog and say "we're done screwing around", especially after saying "we couldn't possibly be less serious" by hiring Woodson. 

There are fanbases that don't want IU to make a big time hire and get this turned around.
