FritzIam4IU Posted March 19, 2021 Report Share Posted March 19, 2021 I've said it before, but if Scott Dolson is able to bring Brad Stevens to IU he will be immortalized. Maybe the stars are aligning for IU. Dolson might be a great AD, Brad Stevens to coach men's Basketball, Coach Allen in football, Mercer in baseball, Moren in women's basketball, and Yeagley in Soccer. Right now very optimistic about the future of many of IU sports and if this men's basketball coach search is any indication, Dolson will be the right guy to head the athletic department for the next two decades. GO HOOSIERS!! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't get me wrong, great coach...but it took him awhile to get things rolling at Michigan and at 68, time is not on his side. He left Michigan because he did not like recruiting. He is a 5 or 6 year plug at best and then we are having to do this all over again. I'll be supportive if he is the guy, but that pick would worry me. They went to the tournament in his 2nd year at Michigan. Expecting any coach, Brad Stevens included, to come in and do what Beilein did at Michigan is pretty lofty expectations.

That's going to get confusing with the network. I mean Brad is just one more letter. Ya, i realized that as i was typing but its still too early for me to do much critical thinking. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCHoosier32 Posted March 19, 2021 Report Share Posted March 19, 2021 In honor of March Madness and hope that we have a big time new coach announced soon. This is from like 27 years ago and I am one of the knuckleheads in this picture! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lostin76 Posted March 19, 2021 Report Share Posted March 19, 2021 I would be over the top thrilled if it’s Stevens, but am not buying in yet. It’s not that I don’t trust @IUwins0708 and the other insiders, it’s just protection mode, b/c I don’t want to be disappointed with some horrible hire like Alford. I did read this entire thread with a growing smile and a sense of hope though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seeking6 Posted March 19, 2021 Report Share Posted March 19, 2021 Really, really excited but until Stevens officially says yes...I'm still in cautious world. IU Hoops has beaten my spirit into the ground these last 2 decades. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expecting any coach, Brad Stevens included, to come in and do what Beilein did at Michigan is pretty lofty expectations. He was up and down years 1 through 4. He is a great coach, I said that up front. However he is a great coach who is 68 years old. At that age you need him to pay off immediately. Like you said, that is a hard thing to do. And recruiting after the first year or two will get tougher. He is going to be viewed as having 1 foot out the door on day 1, fair or not. Like I said, I would support the guy but I think that is a really risky hire. It could pay off or it could be a disaster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I know we're not talking teenagers here but it goes back to Mile's Jared Jeffries analogy. Anything could always change last minute. Heck as a Colts fan sometimes after it's announced it still changes (at least that time it was for the better). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5fouls Posted March 19, 2021 Report Share Posted March 19, 2021 Beilein was my favorite college coach for a 12-15 year stretch. But. 68 years old is 68 years old. This isn't Iona, where the masses will be happy just to get into the tournament if you hire 68 year old Rick Pitino. This is Indiana where we're worried about not only how the program looks today, but what it will look like 10 years from now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
