If you get a chance Doyle has a really good article today about how Buckner and Steve Ferguson have protected Woodson for the last 3 years, also talks about Dolson now having control after hiring Cigs and the backing of Whitten. 

Looks like it's behind a pay wall.

First, you guys are hilarious. Reading the pages I missed on a long travel day is great.  I guess I missed the chance to drop the bomb that coaches were informed yesterday that Woody is being ret

First thing's first, congrats to the IU women on the 4-seed and hosting opportunity. Tough draw, but they call it madness for a reason. Secondly, love you guys and this community, but goodness you're

The “compromise” by Dolson to let this go down this way saved us some good cash on the buyout. Lot of litigation today. Make no mistake about it, this was not Woody’s decision to retire.

“NOBODY IS GETTING A CALL UNTIL BRAD SAYS NO MULTIPLE TIMES AND THAT OFFER WONT BE MADE UNTIL IU NO LONGER HAS A COACH!” Then it goes Dusty and so on. Until that time random names are pointless imo

....nothing wrong with being aggressive and persistent!

So does the pissing off of Tracy get resolved easily?  If @Chris007 keeps calling her Kathy will that anger her again?

Is Ferguson still involved?

Yes everything would be fine with Tracy if everyone stays out of the way and just let Scott handle it. I wasn't calling her Kathy, I was talking about our resident insider who works in the "athletic department".

He is still involved, sits right behind the bench each game, hopefully not involved in the search though. He does donate to the NIL

Basically Dolson had IU in a good spot. Brad wanted to take the job. Buckner and company had a group of donors meeting with Brad too and it was too many cooks in the kitchen. One of that group it might’ve been Buckner or Ferguson pissed off Brad’s wife so she was then out. They had a family vote and it was 3-1 to stay in Boston so they stayed. Brad has had conversations off and on with people he knows both with the Celtics and in Indiana about how he has always wanted to coach at IU or that it’s always been his dream job. He still has family in Indiana and may want to be closer to them as they are getting older. He has talked openly many times about his love for IU and that type of admiration never changes even if you call yourself a masshole. Scott and Brad also have regular communication and have ever since he turned IU done the last time. Couple all of that with the random Seth Davis and Micah Shrewsberry comments and all of a sudden there seems to be a lot of things that start to add up. Especially when some of these people don’t have any connection to IU. There’s probably more stuff that I’ve shared but that’s the gist of it 

Probably by intent.  Buckner and Ferguson didn’t want Brad taking the job.

I would keep an eye on Scott Drew.  Not sure IU would go his route however Drew and Goodman are good friends and Goodman put out a tweet when IU was getting boat raced the other night that Dolson should make the call.  I’m guessing Drew’s people are getting that out there as soon as possible to plant the seed

That would be interesting. I'd be surprised if he ever left Baylor. It's a perfect fit for him as a private Baptist university. Not sure IU would be a good cultural fit.

He said this right after Baylor won the title that we should hire him. Goodman saying this should not be taken seriously.

I can verify all of this and have heard none from AP2345. I will add that Brad's dad is an IU grad and I think he really wants Brad to coach IU while he is still able to enjoy it. Or so I've been told. There is more but that is the gist of it

I have also heard family is a factor so I could totally see that.

My guess is Goodman using IU as a way for a contract extension or pay increase for Drew. He is Baylor basketball - bargaining chip imo

Wouldn't hate it but didn't he say no to UK?

Don't see him leaving unless he's made the highest paid coach in college basketball - just get those vibes from him.

Dude, I would love it if it bears fruit but the guy left coaching altogether for the C's, hasn't coached in years, is getting up in years (not old but it's been a while since he was on the floor), and man we've been down this road twice already. If it starts to pick up steam I'll be very interested. But no way am I just going to buy in, and Rabby really doesn't know jack about him FWIW, no idea about Trilly but not a believer in him. Like  your posts here, but no, I'm not buying in on this.

Getting up in years? He's 48.

I’m guessing the NIL money is infinitely better at IU.  How much do Skip and Joanna pony up a year?  Probably not nearly as much as the Cooks, Simon’s, etc.

I don’t see May taking the IU job. If IU was in a different conference than I could see it, but Imo I think he will stay put. I hope I’m wrong.
Also as far as Stevens goes, I think that NIL has ruined it for him. If he wanted to deal with a bunch of prima Donna players he would have kept on coaching in the NBA.

I'm not dead set on one guy, I'm dead set on someone who knows what it takes to win and with that we have options. As long as the only two who are involved are Dolson and Pam we should get someone who fits and we'll be just fine. I'm ready for this nightmare season to end.

Yikes for Woodson.

That's one consolation all parties can take solace in. The Woodson era is crumbling before our eyes as a spectacularly awful experiment gone wrong after an offseason filled with optimism from a talented portal class, but this team is going nowhere fast. It won't be long before the season, and Woodson's split with his alma mater, will be complete. After Tuesday's debacle, that inevitability is all but a certainty.
