Gotta love Private Hudson-
I don’t have much hope and assume it will be another poor hire. It’s what we do.
I'm just repeating something I heard on a podcast but it.makes sense, to me at least. When Dolson announced Woodson's return a year ago, he had at least a suspicion that he'd be replacing him now. He's likely been on a fact finding mission since that time. I tend to believe he's already done due diligence where Beard's concerned.
In 2008 Drake coach Keno Davis was 28-5 ap coach of the year only 35 years old the next upcoming young coach went to Providence failed was fired. Dakich thinks Alford should be coach do you agree with that?
I was simply countering your podcast argument with my own; I really don't care what Dakich says. Besides, he's not the only one singing BM's praises.
For me, Dolson has earned enough goodwill from the Cignetti hire that if he goes with a mid-major coach I'll trust his judgement at least until games start.
After initially zig-zagging from one opinion to another, I've landed at the same place as you. If it's Beard, I'll be confident Dolson & Co. made the best decision for IU basketball. If it's not, I'll be confident they made the best decision for IU basketball.
I hate when people make innuendo. If I knew Pat, I would, but since I don't, what do you suspect he would say? I'd have assumed with all the time they worked together it would be positive. You don't think so?
Alford won a lot of games at UCLA, similar to Cronin, and had his current team in the NCAA's the last couple years. However, Dolson would take a PR hit by the moral police fans.
I told you already. It’s posted further up. It wasn’t always positive. Has beard changed some since then? Maybe. There’s enough there to say hell no. The DV incident is documented enough I can’t imagine him being signed off on just because he’s made an elite eight and final 4.
Alford is Crean with baggage. No way you dismiss his handling of a victim. Never made it past the sweet 16 and had better recruiting classes. Had like 4 top 5 classes in a row. Plus the PAC 12 wasn’t exactly a murderers row. Howland was better. Way better.
At least I know the difference between "your" and "you're." lol
Some envision him as the devil. After 30 years of mediocrity, at best, IU needs a winner. If the only holdup is a DV incident where there were no charges then IU should absolutely hire him as he’s probably the best coach available. If IU wants to sit on its high horse and project something that didn’t happen, well, they deserve to continue to be a shit program for eternity.
hard to be convicted if charges are dropped. I'd say that's closer to "not charged" than not convicted. Hard to be convicted without a trial and they determined they couldn't prove that without her testimony.
Coach K kind of didn’t work out either…
Scrolled 4 pages and don't see any reference to where you said what Pat Knight might think of Beard. Feels more like what you think of Beard and you're trying to add creedence to that by implying PK might think the same. Without any idea what you're referencing, sometimes feelings get hurt when folks get let go from a position and then Beard went on to great success at the same school. Tell me what you think PK might think of CB and we might glean whether it's hurt feelings or pertinent.
If McCollum isn’t in the top 20 candidates, then maybe Dolson isn’t the guy that should be doing the search. Stupid comment.
They still talk and have a relationship…. What does that mean 🤷🏻♂️
He has gotten a second chance at Ole Miss which is hardly a crap school. There was an incident, no question about it, but charges were dropped and nothing since. RMK crossed the line many times, but never fell off the pedestal to most here. Why?
Awwww poor baby. You remind of a 15 year old girl. Of course I know the difference, I was writing too fast at 5am this morning it looks like laughing at you. You are the middle school girl of the board. I wish everyone could see that you delete 50 posts a day. You know, someone that has supreme confident issues.

Trigger warning. Too easy.Awwww poor baby. You remind of a 15 year old girl. Of course I know the difference, I was writing too fast at 5am this morning it looks like laughing at you. You are the middle school girl of the board. I wish everyone could see that you delete 50 posts a day. You know, someone that has supreme confident issues.
Punching down? Shit my guy you can’t even get in the ring with me, go back to YOUR day job, you aren’t on my level on anything
Is that what middle school girls say? No idea what trigger warning means. I responded to your insults with better ones. Good day indeed.
This was the post…
not sure why you are so for him other than the obvious. I’m not arguing if I like him or don’t like him. I’m simply giving the argument of what I think Scott and Pam probably think of him. I’m sure they know all the stories already.
I'm not advocating for the guy at all. Frankly I like McCollom better. But cmon, this is TMZ stuff.
Don’t believe it. So what. He’s a well known drunk. Who makes questionable decisions. He even hired Mark Adams. You seriously think Scott and Pam hires him? No freaking way. I’m not going to argue about it anymore. Just by arguing about him should tell you he’s not a candidate.
If we went after Alford, it would have to be at a steep discount. No way we would pay him what we would a coach like Dusty. If he wins for a few years then he gets a raise. Prove it to us first.
Rumors...lol. Everyone has a few skeletons. College basketball coaches probably have a few more.
Why I'm so for him? I'm not, but have said you've got to at least consider and evaluate him. Have you checked the list of dwindling high-level candidates?
