Officer Obie Posted March 26, 2021 Report Share Posted March 26, 2021 (edited) Calipari goes to Texas, Holtmann goes to Kentucky, Archie goes to Ohio State and Stevens comes to IU. Easy peasy. Edited March 26, 2021 by Officer Obie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or since his Indy Star comrade Glenesk?? said he was right too. You know who Rabby has as a source? Probably Holtmann. People forget how long and dialed in Rabby has been. Decades of trust. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5fouls Posted March 26, 2021 Report Share Posted March 26, 2021 If the Holtmann news is true, that's bad news. I would support it. No reason not to. But, I think Musselman would be a much better hire. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think about it, why in the hell would Dolson make a run at Holtmann after interviewing Woodson and Cheaney one week after OSU was eliminated from the tournament. Makes absolutely no sense..... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that it matters but I love it when reporters are puffing themselves up as unimpeachable when half their work is citing unnamed sources. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I don't think anyone at Ohio State is beyond leaking incorrect information in order to make IU look bad and perhaps even put a bug in the OSU athletic departments ear about needing to re-up their commitment to coach Holtmann. OSU's athletic department is vicious and territorial. They have sued other schools for using "OSU", they have made sure that radio talk show hosts were fired for implying anything negative about their football program (Bruce Hooley, his nephew was a student and track athlete of mine, I know exactly what happened). OSU has a ton of money and people dedicated to the job of controlling information...a ton of propaganda comes out of that place...I wouldn't at all be surprised if this were part of it... plus, Doyel is nothing more than a shock jock...He is willing to say just about anything and will not own his mistakes...He says terrible things about players all season long, his critique of players and coaches often borders on personal attacks, calling the program a dumpster fire, and then acts like it is fans that make IU a hard place to play...he's a snake. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doyel is going to regret this past hour. He jumped in and basically said I'm right at the top of his lungs. People who are right don't need to yell anything. Rabby response was perfect. Now back to business. This search needs to get some clarity soon because no matter if it's false because of media,etc.....it appears to be going crazy and no matter how much we say differently it will reflect poorly on IU and our fans. Fair or unfair it just will. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosierdave Posted March 26, 2021 Report Share Posted March 26, 2021 Lmfao, so this is what, the third coach we’ve had inconsistent “intel” from “sources” within the media (Stevens, Matta, Holtmann)? And these people want us to pay for their content?!?! This isn’t journalism any longer, it’s becoming who can fling crap at the wall and when one turd finally sticks that person can say “told you so!” 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair or unfair it just will. I agree with this...It is infinitely better to hire Michael Lewis five days after the job opens and sell it as bringing home and IU guy who has great pedigree and connections than it is to hire Michael Lewis 25 days after the job opens and have to fend off accusations that we couldn't get anyone else... The tournament still going is a complicating factor in all of this...OSU and a few other schools doing poorly in the tournament made that even harder because those potential candidates are not coaching right now so their names can be tossed around freely... I think that soon IU will need to embrace the underdog role and say here is our coach, he's a fighter, he recruits fighters, and it doesn't matter what the media says, we are going to fight like mad and win games...To me, that was the IU I grew up on. We certainly had great recruits, but we were underdogs compared to the UNLVs and the Michigans of the world...we fought like mad and won games...I don't want blue blood arguments, I want blue collar work ethic and gym rats that will do whatever it takes to win as a team...If that means Lewis, great, if that means Musselman, great, if that means Oats, great. No more halfway though. No more preaching about being hard working but never defending or screening or running the floor or being tough around the basket. On this I agree with Dakitch, we need to develop an IU vs the world mindset...including getting behind our next coach the way our fanbase ought to... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this point, you might as well say we are competing against Texas Tech. I’d say Texas is attractive to any coach. Money/facilities...fertile recruiting grounds. Drew would likely get looked at too I bet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BADGERVOL Posted March 27, 2021 Report Share Posted March 27, 2021 People realize that if there’s a rumor said coach is being courted and it’s a lie that coach can use that lie to get a raise lol 😆 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jojo123 Posted March 27, 2021 Report Share Posted March 27, 2021 This is the reporters oldest trick in the book. When they know nothing they throw enough crap and lies out and that it puts undue pressure on the AD to make a statement. Most of them just print trash anymore. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobSaccamanno Posted March 27, 2021 Report Share Posted March 27, 2021 (edited) Hopefully Holtmann was just another name on Dolson’s list and nothing more than that. It would be very odd for Dolson to think about coaches except literally all of the favorites in Beard, Oats, Muss, and Drew. We are hopefully simply just not hearing anything on them but there is interest. PS Holtmann is probably the source. He loves to flap his lips about not wanting the IU job lol. He’s like the girl you say “hi” to who thinks you have a crush on her. Calm down. Edited March 27, 2021 by BobSaccamanno 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
