And the "determined to express opinions as facts" camp.
I love Cig. But that was a 1 in a million. I’m thrilled we have him. Assuming this works again with IU bball scares me a bit. We have been in the wilderness so long I want a proven commodity.
I used to be a hard no on him, but I wouldn’t complain if he was hired.
So it was your opinion and not a fact that BM is not a candidate? I thought maybe you had inside information.
We're gonna screw this hire up.
They won't hire Beard because of the alleged DV incident.
They can't hire McCollum because they can't afford to take a chance like that and we'll watch him make Iowa relevant after Francis is booted.
Pearl is a no-go because he's got Auburn rolling and his kid is the coach in waiting.
We'll end up with some Mick Cronin type who will be just a step above mediocrity.

I agree and he might end up being a great coach. He just doesn't have a good enough resume for IU currently.

So Alford comes home?
I liked the Star's methodology and could go with these, even Cronin.
I'm just saying the notion of that hire "uniting the state" isn't realistic.
Any coach that wins at a high level will unite the fan base, though. Including . . . gasp . . . Beard.
I want to hear from @mattndallas , seeing as how he and his wife are close personal friends with Dolson and family.
(You don't think I was going to let that name drop you did last week go, did you?)

Hockey is way more exciting.
Son played in his division's state championship yesterday. They got smoked 6-1 but it was awesome. Rink was packed and people were going crazy. Some moms (other team had the better players and the better MILFS) on the other team screaming "flatten that kid!" to their sons. Good stuff.
My "unite the state" comment was poorly worded. What I was getting at was a coach who works the state hard, works the state's high schools, and reestablishes IU as the place where Indiana's best high school players want to come. We haven't totally lost our appeal, but it's not what it should be or what it once was.
I like how he looks in those tiny suits
Archie didn’t get it and didn’t know how to do it (work the state’s coaches). Woodson didn’t want to do it.
New guy has to get it. The top two or three guys should never leave the state. And one must be a killer 3-point artist.
After every win running down the sideline going NYUK NYUK NYUK in those tiny suits. Be great
IU will make the final four this year. Woodson will leave. Sit out a year. Go somewhere else and find success. And we’ll pass on Pearl beard etc and settle on the fans’ 5th choice
