Dusty May - IU Leadership Ineptitude

[aajohn2000]

In his very first season, he wins the B1G tourney. Something IU has NEVER done. Takes team from bottom of conference all the way to second and wins B1G tourney. I have to say, I have no hope for our IU BB program. We have sunk firmly into mediocrity and pending a hire like a Beard or possibly McCollum, we are firmly settled into average mediocracy. The glory days of old are just that, OLD as dirt.. Either way, it’s been 23 years since we went to the FF. IU leadership has failed us for 30 years. Got another chance to get it right. Stop ****ing around and get a damn basketball coach for once.

 

[UTFO]

Yeah we missed on may

 

[IUgradman]

Dolson and Buckner will go down in history as the two who delivered the coup de grace to the men’s basketball program.

There was some really stupid people around here that wanted to give Woodson this 4th year!

Thanks goodness our leadership, while idiotic, they aren’t that stupid. They better freaking get this next hire right. Enough ****ing around! Get beard or Pearl. Someone who instantly wins. For crying out loud, look at Pitino. He is 6 years older than the Pearl. I am not going all in on Pearl, but I am saying we need somebody strong who elevates us beyond 10 and 12 win big ten seasons. Our floor needs to be 12. 12 is the most we have had in the last 9 seasons. And we did it once. 8 other seasons of .500 or worse in league play. Pathetic.

Can only hire those willing to leave where they are.

We should have moved on Woody a year ago.

Despite having a massive resources advantage over all but just a handful of schools. Pathetic really. If Brownell or some other milquetoast coach is hired donate to Fball or the hobby of your choice.

30 years of incompetence at iu

 

[TR32]

25 wins 3 years in a row in 3 conferences, plus a Final Four and a Big Ten tourney trophy....

I've had him, technically 3rd on my list behind Stevens and Gregg Marahall. Beard is 4th. Still a chance to get that one.

 

[Kyser123]

Most knew we should’ve moved on last but make sure everyone sends Buckner , Ferguson , and the Simon’s a big thank you card. This is sooooooo IU. Buckner and Woodson should never have any type of input again.

 

[GThomas]

Sure, let's roll with Marshall. Haven't tried a psychopath yet, so why not?

A lot of people felt the same about Bobby.

Marshall is a psycho, yes. I’m not advocating for him be hired, but he’s probably the best bball coach and bball mind outside of Sampson.

Stop. BM is the best mind in CBB.

Marshall's first rate. I wanted him after Davis or maybe it was Sampson. There's been so many I can't remember.

 

[TR32]

Stop. BM is the best mind in CBB.

That's why Marshall is 2nd on my list. May is 3rd. Great energy and intelligence.

Dolson will go down as the person who resurrected IU sports

Another great hire here following up Cig, and he gets a statue.

 

[ams66]

Lot of talk about how IU has to get this hire right but especially Dolson has to for the sake of his legacy. He’ll go down as a great AD or one who got lucky on one football hire.

Imagine if we fired Woody last year THEN doubled the NIL for the blonde-haired, blue-eyed Dusty and he was able to duplicate his performance for us. Jesse Jackson would've been on Sportscenter wearing a "Dolsons in the Klan" T-shirt.
We know now that we have all of the boxes checked for the next coach, short of an AD whom they may want to have a hand in chosing. We are on record 4 years ago offering Brad 70x7. We've hired all other categories of coaches except a proven, HOF caliber guy. I have to believe that's what's about to happen.

Jesse? No way. It would have been Willdog.

Chuck Marlowe might have felt that way even though he appreciates Coach Knights genius.

IU fans have been saying “we’ve got to get this hire right” for 3 straight coaching regimes. The IU brand has plenty of resources and support. We just don’t ever seem to find a guy that fits. Need toughness back in the program along with acceptable standards. There are a few guys out there that fit that criteria. Be surprised if we get any them.

The Bruiser had no love for Chuck Marlowe and Bruiser was a darn fine judge of character. One time he ripped Chuck’s wristwatch off and pounded it into dust on the telecast table because Chuck kept asking stupid questions.

Bill Affliss Jr?

There's only one Bruiser.

 

[Hank Reardon]

If we had hired Dusty May last season half this board would have been livid and made endless comparisons to the Archie Miller hire.
