Dustin Dopirak on potential IUBB coaching candidate pool shrinking
- Thread starter Jim Coyle
- Start date
Because he is from Iowa and it's a easier job less pressure plus Indiana is not going to hire him.
Good coaches adapt. For example, Gard has Wisconsin scoring 81 ppg. BM would have access to higher-caliber players.
After two months of fans going back and forth about 37 candidates, Dolson will probably drop a "holy shit" bomb on our ass ... in a good way.
I heard the same kind of thing about coach Knight 50 years ago. A lot of people on this board are too young to remember that.
Do you ever consider how something you say will age? Or are you good looking like a fool?
I still can’t help but wonder how much these “slow” offensive schemes have to do with the players these other schools can get. Does McCollum at Drake have super quick, potential NBA guards running the offense? Maybe some of these other coaches simply don’t have the horses to run a fast, high powered offense. Whoever comes to Indiana is going to get McDonald’s All-American type players. Every coach we’ve had has gotten them. Maybe offensive styles will change with more talented, more athletic players.
Wade missed the NCAA tournament with the #1 pick in the draft, that takes work to pull that off--have to think in the recent years it is just him and Crean at UGA are about the only ones??
It has nothing to do with your name. It’s because you’re an internet troll who comes to another teams board to antagonize & argue about your team….
A few years back during one of the NC years, his teams averaged 84 plus, if you look year by year
2024--73.0 ppg
2023--73.6
2022--76.1
2021--81.0
2020--83.1
2019--82.4
2018--74.8
2017--78.4
This year they are down to 64.4 after he leaves (and well, most of the team as well!). Drake currently averaging about 70 a game, with your top 4 guys in minutes making the jump from D2--they are playing slow for a reason!
No, there are many people who support him. Checking lots of social media sites.
A really good coach can and will adapt his offense to his players. I don’t understand why people assume he’d play the same way if he had a squad full of quick and athletic players.
What in the world makes you think we are struggling to find a coach? There are some who say Dolson has had his man since Christmas. Who knows what is true at this point.
You’re taking an awful lot of speculation as fact. How do you know who turned us down when we got Crean, Archie, or now, for that matter? How do you know Brownell is a candidate? How exactly is it fans’ fault again?
You have absolutely no idea of that. Unless you are really Scott Dolson. And somehow I don’t think so.
My #2 behind Stevens. If Dolson snags either, it's potentially legacy-making.
I know, I know ... reality.
I was just thinking that. With Knight, we could grind it out and win 50-45, or we could run with UNLV and score in the 90’s. People thought it was not a good idea for Isaiah Thomas to come here, but what did Knight do? Turn the game over to him and let him do his thing, once the proved he was ready. Now. We aren’t getting an RMK, but a good coach will adapt according to his talent.
That response doesn't even make sense. You are the one looking like a fool.
What am I antagonizing and arguing about? I didn’t even mention my team? I’m on topic with the thread.
This is not coach Knight plus you need NBA players to win championships the last 40 years atleat one player was drafted 1st round that won the championship.
JW left because he "lost his edge." After some time in the studio, maybe that edge is back. Man, what a f***ing Easter present that would be.
If it is McCollum I am going to beat the rush and register "FireBenMcCollum" on all platforms. He is this year's Mid Major that everyone says is so good but will fail in 3 years.
First of all the guy talking is 43 and according to the host, very well connected at Texas, . Second of all, the host said he has heard many of the same things. So it wasn’t just the alleged previous incident, it was also paying her and pressuring her to recant. And that recant was the most lawyer speak I’ve ever seen. Host also says that Texas was warned about Beard’s issues. Finally, this is just another example of all the rumors that have been circulating about him for years.
Iowa isn’t open. Will it be? Maybe. It depends if he wants a chance to be elite or if he’s better off not having high expectations. If he’s prefer Iowa, then he’s not the guy for us anyway.
43 year old senior student at Texas? He said he was 23. He also said he was passing on what someone else told him.
Again, they are looking for suckers with this clickbait. Texas doesn’t give him a warning if he beats the hell out her in front of the entire team. There would also be video of this.
