Brad Brownell confirms IU contacted him

Not a good sign if they contacted Brownell. That definitely suggests the administration wished to turn the volume down on IU basketball going forward.
 
Being contacted during a job search is not a high bar. IU probably contacted 10+ coaches. It's a coaching search. We were never close to hiring Brownell anyways.

Wow, that is your take from this from Brownell's announcement?
Talk about a leap, more like an Evel Knievel jump across the grand canyon.

Do our basketball volume controls go into negative numbers?
 
Brownell has won at Clemson, he would have done fine at IU
I don't know why anyone would even bring this back up. Dolson was just doing his job and investigating candidates, better and lesser. It's what you do when you hire people. Accomplishment-wise, I'm not even sure Brownell is "lesser". He's been to the tournament like 8X and has a S16 and E8. Dolson should have looked into Brownell; it's called doing his job. That may seem odd to folks after the last 25 years, but it would be irresponsible if he hadn't. Brownell's record after 1 year at Clemson was quite similar to CDDs at Drake and his 1 year at WVU.

people were acting like he would have been a terrible hire, who knows, he certainly has been pretty good at Clemson, with very little nil
