Wow thank you for the info!!

Obviously you have no obligation to share anything else unless you want, so the rest of us can discuss but I am a little confused. Can't really figure out what the above two mean. Is he just saying that Buckner likes former players? Or is the inference that he and Dolson aren't super close?

Is Pearl the "Brad Stevens" of this cycle in that he is using us for a raise and we shouldn't get our hopes up, or that we are preparing a godfather offer for him? 

Also, any chance you can confirm what Chris said about the admin potentially focusing on May?

Yes. :)

Also…I’ve been busy today. This thread literally grows faster than I can read it. Anyone care to give a end of the day 20ish page recap? I did get through C(K)athys initial post and the fallout. Thanks!

Go Gophers! Help us move the needle tonight, we need it more than ever!

Yeagley's are the key posts. Go through his history.  Meeting Tuesday, we'll know more then.

I understand your concern but I’m not here as an influencer. Some things have been suggested or even alleged that aren’t accurate and I wanted to share what I know. Your skepticism is both understandable and welcome, but that’s why I posted. If you have other questions for me, I’ll do my best to provide answers, including telling you I don’t know. I just wanted to address the Dolson versus Buckner narrative, which I don’t believe is accurate on any way for the reasons I listed, as well as a few others that I can’t confirm bit believe to be true.

Thank you for posting this @KathywithaC. It's refreshing to have a source who can help us find some clarity, whether it's the answer/result we want or not.

He won’t play for the guy LeBron allegedly wants his son to play for at OSU? I differ.

Bronny would not come here for Dusty May 

[southsidehoosier 4,976]

Coyle saying Woody is treating the IU coaching gig like a Walmart greeter job is pretty spot on lol

He doesn't mean that at all. What he means is if Lebron wanted May at OSU and his son would go there ... Then why wouldn't the IU recruit want to play of May if he was IU's coach next year.

misread it. my fault 

[AKHoosier 6,747]

So the meeting next Tuesday is after the season, but before the BTT.

I don't know why I'm encouraged by that. I doubt they'd say "hey win the BTT or you're out."

A cartoon standoff is something I wasn't expecting when reading this thread.

Because McNeeley was coming here for NBA level training and a shot at winning big. Why would he place his career in the hands of an unproven entity (from his vantage point) like May when he could instead just go to Kansas to play for Bill Self?

Wow what a read! Love it that you guys are crazy lol. I feel we may be getting trolled by some members of another fanbase or some of our own are having a lite fun with us. Either way it's interesting.
I know this may not be a popular opinion but dusty is the obvious choice. The fan base was excited about him last year in the tournament. Not everyone wants him but alot do. He is a gamble but my gut says the iu administration knows 2 things. Woodson isn't a long term solution and looks like a disaster in the short term if you retain him. If you don't gamble on dusty and he goes elsewhere and succeeds the fallout would be devastating. The gamble is easy imo. I would be stoked for pearl but immediately fearing his age. Then factor in the optics of throwing all your chips on pearl and he fails here as well. All hope would then be lost. I wanted Archie and he beyond failed! No way that could ever happen again to us!

Just wait til next year. And again I did not think trey, malik, and MM were leaving. It caught me by complete surprise and now I got all these new guys. They may all be seniors but we are so young It's going to take time guys and in year 5 I can likely get over the hump.

unless we get rid of the hump after we flame out in the BTT.

Seems to me that May will be the compromise candidate.

100% speculation but if Dolson and Buckner don't see eye to eye, Buckner won't get in the way of Dolson removing Woody. But he will use his influence to block Dolson's supposed top target. The Tuesday conversation with big boys and girls at the table sit down to hash out: is he staying, is he going?

If he's staying, we get a short statement of confidence after the season ends. If he's not, he "retires" when the season ends and May is the guy who everyone could get on board with. 

Just ramblings from a guy on a message board! Know absolutely nothing lol

I do wonder if it's possible that May/Pearl are simply smokescreens and Dolson has someone else in mind.  Probably not but you never know.  It just seemed like every hire since Davis was fired all came out of left field.  We all thought we were getting Lon Kruger at one point lol.  Dolson just seems to run a tight ship so not sure he'd allow anything to leak.  Chris himself said he didn't know about the Allen firing until the day or or the day before.  I'm not talking the pipe dream 1/1000000 candidates (Billy, BS, Jay) just maybe someone else we aren't talking about.

I'm aware I'm in the big minority here, but I want it to be Beard

So more $ to field a roster of 13 than our football coach to field a roster of 85? Something is off here lol

Roster of 12.  We don't need no extra stinkin' guard.

I'm with you there as well. 

But if Pearl is a no-go in the eyes of the decision makers, Beard will be a hell no to them.
