OGIUAndy Posted March 19, 2021 Report Share Posted March 19, 2021 There are other people Tweeting about it too, not just insiders. But it seems like the "it's done" narrative is changing a bit. The insiders information is really fun and most of the time pretty good, but this type of rumor is as big as it gets for IU hoops. So I hope their connections aren't pulling their chains. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosierdave Posted March 19, 2021 Report Share Posted March 19, 2021 (edited) If this turns out to be true, how deliciously ironic is it that all the haters say we’re just a delusional fan base living in the past. Well, newsflash, it’s because of our history/tradition (and yes of course, $) that this (hopefully) happened.

Inequality Posted March 19, 2021 Report Share Posted March 19, 2021 These are very professional people involved in these type of situation. I don’t see a contractual issue happening from either side if in fact the choice is to change location. Also, think of the timing here. Miller could have been let go at the end of the tourney for example. Without question especially considering the amount of money at play here, there is a plan in place which contains the remaining timeline of transitional events no matter who the coach to be is. That said, I had to work until 2:30 am last night just to get close to my daily goal I had in place. All due to this exciting real life episode surrounding the program. Today, I’m already 2-3 hours behind because of my lack of priority control. But hey, it’s Friday! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IUDan93 Posted March 19, 2021 Report Share Posted March 19, 2021 What strikes me as odd is the silence from Dolson and Stevens if there is absolutely no truth to all these rumors. Dolson certainly would be out there saying something to squash all of this. Think about the reaction if he announces that we hired Beilein. A potentially great hire, but there would be a collective moan from the fanbase. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn’t Dolson say in his press conference about firing CAM to respect the privacy and the next time you hear from me will be announcing the next coach? I may be wrong but I thought he said that anyway. Edited March 19, 2021 by Ferg 32 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Say all you want about the silence coming from Boston, but there is no way IU wouldn’t try to be shutting all these rumors down if there wasn’t any truth to them. It’d just be setting the fan base up for disappointment. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he has to appease the fanbase with hourly updates, but to your point, if we go with someone else (for whatever circumstance or reason), there will be a collective letdown. And if that were to happen, I truly hope it doesn't negatively impact who DOES become the next coach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this point, whoever is hired will have to knock it out of the park in the press conference to lift up what will be a disappointed fanbase.

If they thought I was buying them a car for their 16th (not a chance), and they were talking about it with everyone, I would dis-spell that belief in the hopes that they would like the paint brushes and snow shovel I got them.

This is the exact time you want rumors flying. Also, if it’s not announced today or tomorrow, I’d guess it’s very unlikely to happen. You want to take advantage of all these eyes on college basketball this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he doesn't want to jeopardize his trust with whatever candidates are in the running by leaking info. I'd have second thoughts about working for a guy who was leaking info as I was negotiating a contract with him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
