Our rumors to me is he’ll be back. I don’t like coming here and saying that so I’m trying to stay busy.

Do you think Dolson wants to make a change and is being handcuffed by $$ and QB?

I think you are correct. I think it’s not just Scott but a lot of people in the athletic department that want to move on. 
 

I think Scott would like to wrap Dusty up but it’s a hard sell to Quinn and Boosters.

Then he's not the man for the job.  Pull the trigger and worry about the fall out later.

Regardless of Woodson, how can a program that’s been as mediocre as IU pass up a former manager who is the shiniest star up and comer

I’m probably in the small minority when I say this and I realize what happened but I think Indiana got the Sampson hire correct and had all the BS not happened I have no doubt #6 would be hanging in the rafters by now. Makes you sick to think about.

I wished we still had Sampson as our coach.  The guy can coach, that is for sure.

Sadly, Cathy was right on that regard. It’s not that easy. And so we are hamstrung

Ya I don’t get it. Then why are you the AD? Infuriating.

[IUrocker]

If Dolson does indeed to try to continue to sell wrapping up Dusty, I wonder how much long he has from today to decide to just go ahead and pull the trigger or talk people into it….or if all the time in the world is already gone for that option and won’t matter if he still continues to try to pull strings.

Why?  He doesn't need BOT approval does he?

I don’t understand that if the Boosters know basketball why they wouldn’t want to make a change, since the change is the hottest name available and is a former IU manager.  Now, if the Booster doesn’t know basketball and are just friends with Woodson I guess that just really stinks lol.

He does need sign off on new hires though and some can make it difficult. But more so it’s donors

I’m pretty sure you and I have forgotten more about basketball than most of the trustees will ever know. Even Quinn doesn’t watch college basketball. The only argument at this point they have is we always give IU coaches four years.

What are they afraid of? Winning?  Going back to being INDIANA BASKETBALL? FFS!

[Banksyrules]

Man can't we just announce May. If Dolson asks for donations I'm sure the goal can be met.  Ugh I don't want to pick up a new hobby next year to avoid college basketball.  Maybe axe throwing. Curling? junk

Elitist mentality!  I have a Shitload of money, I know best!

[Ryno6284]

Quinn and Woody have this in common, They both don't give a **** about CBB, only getting college players to the NBA! Shame on them!

I love that a guy who built the FAU program from scratch and took them to a FINAL FOUR is a hard sell to the BoT, but a dude with zero CBB experience was coveted for what sounds like several years. I'd say it's unbelievable, but this level of dysfunction is sadly what I expect these days.

Yeagley, Chris where the hell are our rumors 

There’s not going to be any. Indiana University is stuck with Mike Woodson.
