DD essentially confirms he was reached out to much earlier within the season. 

This aligns with what the WVU insiders were saying about discussions between IU and DeVries going back over a month. My guess is Dolson reached out to gauge interest before it was announced Woodson was "retiring."

New Indiana basketball coach Darian DeVries said IU will be IU again when every fan sees proper basketball on a consistent basis and says, “‘That is my team.’ That is when the banners will rise again.”

Thank you Kathy for your hard working getting our new coach.

"Throughout, they were respectful of me being focused on my team."

Las second scramble hire...debunked.

Banners won’t be the only thing rising

Overall? 

You can tell he's a little nervous with the public speaking... but he's not being paid to be an orator... 

You can clearly sense what his vibe is all about. And I think we're going to like it. Ball coach vibes to me. 

Get him to start talking ball and he is in his bag.  Looks comfortable as heck.  Ball coach

Anybody notice that none of the questions being answered end with “I wish I knew.”? Nice to have a coach that clearly gets it and knows what he has to do to build a program and right the ship.

So if this guy turn’s out to be a homerun what kind of respect does Dolson get

[LamarCheeks]

I hope someone asks when/if he'll meet with the current team and how long it'll take to evaluate who might stay/who might go.

I just like that we didn’t have to hire a more capable candidate to teach him how to do the job.

Much better answering questions than reading the prepared script.
