Sorry that we reached out and bothered you with an insane offer and wanted to treat you like a god 🙄. im bitter rn but enjoy your fellow “massholes” you aligned yourself with today asking for your resignation for the next 3 months. Yeah...I think a few folks heard and learned some things from his comments. I was surprised after so many positive stories and comments about him were shared here and on BTB over the last few days. My opinion of him changed, that's for sure. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlikely, but $$ talks. Hopefully we at reach out to the top coaches. Offer Donovan, Wright, Few, or Bennett $7-8 million and make them actually say no. They're each extremely unlikely for multiple reasons, but for that kind of money, you never know. Most or all of those conversations would never become public anyways, so nothing to lose. Also, if it did come out that we got turned down a few times, I doubt someone like Musselman would turn us down just because he was option 5. He's making $2.5 million right now. We double that (or more), and I doubt he'd care. Also, could a coach like Musselman really blame a school for reaching out to some of the top 5 coaches of the last 10 years? Start at the top of the list and work down. Never assume the top of the list is out of reach, no matter how unlikely it is. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Musselman is definitely intriguing. He also coached with Smart before - I wonder if he’d lobby for the job with that angle. Either way - his payday is coming whether here, Arkansas, or somewhere soon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC2345 Posted March 20, 2021 Report Share Posted March 20, 2021 Dolson has a plan. He was reaching out to multiple candidates for a while. The question is who was plan B? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, hope he gets fired from the Celtics at some point and ends up in some place like OKC. His comments were insulting. To me, he basically called the IU fanbase kids. I thought he was better than that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also don’t think it’ll be an IU guy, Beilein, or Matta. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think we're going to throw Brad Stevens money at people not named Brad Stevens. $6 million for Beard, $5 million at Musselman would be my guess at what we would look to offer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
