I'm not doubting what you were told or that he interviewed. Now we are hearing chatter about Matta. Like @BobSaccamannostated above, I think he is just interviewing those who are available until some of the other coaches are out of the tourney. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no doubt Woodson is a fine leader of men. I'm glad he got an interview. He is an NBA lifer, however who's 63 however. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IUrocker Posted March 21, 2021 Report Share Posted March 21, 2021 If healthy and able to do what it takes to get IU back, i would good with Matta if it happens. Give me Matta with Michael Lewis and Kenya Hunter on staff. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With his experience in the Big Ten and his prowess in Indiana, he'd be a great hire IMO 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope it’s a situation that IF we wanted Stevens first and the boosters were sold on a plan of “Stevens is almost a certainty, but if not we have Coach B ready” that that “Coach B” is already set and we are waiting for them or something and all the rest of this chatter is just buying time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IUrocker Posted March 21, 2021 Report Share Posted March 21, 2021 Let’s say it is indeed Matta, wouldn’t we be able to know that for sure before the tournament ended since he isn’t coaching? I could also see Dolson being sneaky, making people think “oh it must be someone coaching in the tournament” and not announce it until after its over making people think it is, and then ends up not being at all.

I think right now we are just hearing guys who will be interviewed and we will probably interview coaches who are still in the tournament. right now we can interview Matta since he is not working at this time. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azhoosier Posted March 21, 2021 Report Share Posted March 21, 2021 Of we do go the way of hiring Matta I really hope they make a strong push to hire Dane Fife as an assistant. Would be a great chance to have him in waiting possibly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inequality Posted March 21, 2021 Report Share Posted March 21, 2021 For experimental purposes, everyone run to their Twitter and post about #Dennis Gates to IU and #sources while tagging clickbait slugs.
