If IU screws around, which is possible, and some of these other schools ie Miami, Florida State, Villanova possibly North Carolina and several others jump in on the hot coaches like McCollum and a few others. Hopefully Dolson gets a jump on things. Or do you think he has all ready started searching?
So what happens …
- Thread starter bwcoach
- Start date
I don't see anyway a school like North Carolina goes after Ben McCollum. In fact, I would be floored if they hired him. Pitino Jr to Miami seems like it already has some legs.
Oh he's already searching. He would be derelict if he wasn't. And in my opinion he's far from that.
I am sure he is looking but quinn and his buddies will likely have a pr operation to try and get their boy another year. If this becomes a fiasco look no further than quinn.
Depends on what the contract says, what State the contract was drafted in, and whether the parties to that contract are willing to waive enforcement of those laws and contract provisions.
And whether any damages might ensue from said contact, and whether the contract has an enforceable liquidated damages clause, and how much those liquidated damages might be.
Contracts are fun
agents, that's how these things happen so fast
I'd be surprised if Dolson hasn't already been in contact with the agents of at least a few potential candidates.
His jump on things leaped just prior to the Michigan game with the announcement Woodson would retire at season's conclusion. We didn't hear other schools making such announcement, after all, our man is Dolson, not Doltson.
I would say Dolson has already made his basketball hire already! It be announced during the tournament.
Yes, a good thought, on the national stage, all eyes upon us having not made the tournament once again. Our punishment? Another new coach! Over at Kelley the kids are taught even bad publicity is better than no publicity at all. Something like Wavy Gravy's bit of heaven in a disaster area parable was said by their grey-bearded professor in ponytail, flannel shirt unbuttoned, white tee-shirt at the top, crepe-soled desert boots afoot. They were all alike, at least in undergrad when way back then.
This is a side note coming up, so take it for what that note might be worth:
In the early 70's I took a Chemistry course and the night before the Final, an evening of unseasonable warmth spurred a spontaneous "Celebration of Spring" gathering in Dunn Meadow. The hollowed ground was packed with a tribe of like-minded people enveloped in a cloud of sweet-scented herbaceous gas, all with live rock music. A small group of us ran into our Organic Chemistry TA, a little Japanese guy of spectacles, albeit a nice guy whose eyes were always smiling as if lighting up his face, but just difficult to understand. He told us he synthesized LSD in his lab at home and invited us to his house for "experimental" purposes. I am thankful to this day neither I, nor any of my cohorts, took him up on his late night offer, as tempting as it would have been with no test the next day, having might not lived to this day, having done. He knew better than to temp us like that. He knew the test was 9 AM the next morning, the true Chemistry test that mattered, albeit not nearly as insightful nor as meaningful later in life, Om status attained.
This TA probably wasn't much older than us. Anyway, my point is I'm surprised such an encounter took place. Almost 55 years later and I'm still telling the story to people not listening.
If everyone is saying Dolson already has his guy and if that means he's not currently coaching what about Jay Wright?
Jay Wright is actually #1 on my wish list, but it ain’t happening. The college basketball climate that made him walk away has only gotten worse.
I would think many of the agencies represent various coaches. How that works if your Dolson?
For example, you want to speak to three different coaches, but all are represented by the BDS agency, for example. As an A.D., can you only speak to one at a time and then progress to the next one? It seems like the other coaches would hear through their respective agent that IU is talking to multiple coaches.
As has been mentioned here before (by you maybe) Dock Ellis pitched a no hitter after ingesting LSD and sorry but a Chem final pales in comparison. You could have aced it and then some. Whoever graded your test would have said-Wow.

God, I hope not unless it's the "Name that shall not be mentioned!". I want him to have at least a small committee and interview the best candidates. If we hired the "hot name" we'd have never hired a 30-something guy at Army. Cignetti wasn't the home run hire either. I want them to talk with several candidates to see if someone just blows them away. That's our best path to getting another all-timer coach.
I assume agents and consultants are there to act as a buffer and provide the all-important "plausible deniability". That doesn't work well if the agents are gossiping who the schools are interested in, even to their clients or friends. I'm sure they are good at being mum, with $$ on the line. I'd imagine at best all any individual clients hear from their agents is "assume they are interviewing multiple candidates".
The search is well under way. It’s why Dolson took care of Woody when he did and didn’t wait until April.
The seemingly three-dimensional orientation of my balanced, stereo-isometric equations might have been of stunning beauty in symmetry, suitable for framing for their symbolic poetry spawning creations of organic life out from the bowels of a test paper. I had my chance.
