Hoosierdave Posted March 19, 2021 Report Share Posted March 19, 2021 My gut tells me Beilein. Don’t need to pry him from anyone, which clearly will be our biggest obstacle. I think the only way we get Beard/Drew/Musselman is by offering Brad Stevens type $. Not gonna get these guys to move without a serious incentive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IUwins0708 Posted March 19, 2021 Report Share Posted March 19, 2021 At this point I’m ready for an IU a guy now not named Alford or Woodson. Screw it give me Fife with Lewis and guyton on the bench. Have Cheaney on staff too. Dolson tried won’t be his fault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leathernecks Posted March 19, 2021 Report Share Posted March 19, 2021 It will be interesting if we go for the next name on the lists we've talked about for the last month, or if there's someone more far fetched we go after. Will we throw that money at Donovan (unlikely being his first year with Bulls), Wright, Bennett, or will we go towards Beard, Beilein, etc.? If we keep offering $7 million per year, might as well start at the top. People further down the line will get over being offended really quickly when you double their salary.

Agreed. My fear is we try and land Drew/Beard and wait it out just like Stevens and another school scoops up Beilein. Then we do the most IU thing imaginable and end up with like Alford or Fife as coach, creating another cycle of waiting 5-6 years for the chance at competing for anything worthwhile.

No reason to shoot the messenger... we all fooled ourselves into believing what we wanted to be true. This was a tough day.. I guess I can watch some of the games instead of reading these boards.

It was more than 2 sources that told me. Trust me there are a lot of shocked people. $3.5 million reasons changed his mind. edit-I’ll always trust my sources, no reason for them to lie and honestly there were more than 20 people who thought he was coming inside IU.

Parakeet Jones Posted March 19, 2021 Report Share Posted March 19, 2021 Let’s assume our targets are Beard, Drew, and Musselman. When do we want them to lose in the tournament? We don’t want a first round loss to have to hear, “They lost in round one.” Obviously that doesn’t happen now. We don’t want them to win it all, because that makes it harder to leave. So sweet 16?

The fact that what you had lined up or was similar with Chris, ISP, and even that OSU guy really does make me believe that most of the info was good the Celtics just opened up the checkbook. If you don't mind us asking some more questions, do you know if this was the first counter offer that Boston gave or if they basically agreed to part-ways but changed course?

macomb hoosier Posted March 19, 2021 Report Share Posted March 19, 2021 Two things are clear to me at this point: First, played or not (I think not), Stevens solved the "Archie" issue and the concern that this team would just waste away next year. Second, Dolson has a lot more bullets this time around than Glass did last time. Oh, and go Kings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Safe to say Dolson won’t ask for additional boosters to join in to win this bidding war? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I'm AD, he becomes my top target at this point. Agreed, just saying without a big pay increase for any of these guys, there’s no real leverage we have over their current job situation. This is why from the start I always felt Beilein would end up here. No bidding war with a current team/ and he’s apparently very interested in the gig. Like I said earlier, if we land any of Musselman/Beard/Drew/Beilein/Matta I’ll walk away from this feeling the program is going in a better direction than had we kept Archie.

trc Posted March 19, 2021 Report Share Posted March 19, 2021 Musselman would be my top choice now, hell look what he has gotten out of Smith since he transferred, plus he defends his home court very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully we end up with Dolson's second choice. If we end up with Beilein, I hope it's because he whiffed on another 4-5 candidates and not because Beilein was choice #2.

btownqb Posted March 20, 2021 Report Share Posted March 20, 2021 FWIW.. I dont think Drew is an option whatsoever. That is an opinion after talking to a friend though. The Hanner thing happened... and it happened to an Indiana Elite kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can get the program back to respectability, and then when he retires you can bring in a younger, long term future guy who would be walking into a much more stable situation.
