@jj_mcclure The guy stayed in D-II winning championshiips for years. He obviously could have climbed the ladder much earlier if he wanted to. He was waiting for the right job. It's not always only about $$$.

Dolson should never live down not hiring May or McCollum. An all time blunder. Does Anyone really think Doorknob is going to make a deep run in the tournament?

*eyeroll*

What if.. neither ever considered IU. 

You delusional bandwagon types act like IU is a destination job and every coach wants to be here, when in reality it's probably seen more as a career killing destination with a delusional entitled fanbase. It takes a lot of balls or foolishness to take this job. Same with UK, and UNC. Unlike those two schools, what has IU done in the last 30 years to attract a top tier coach? 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

most coaches at that level have balls. I know that's hard for snowflakes to understand.  They have egos. They don't believe they will ever fail. If they did they wouldn't be any good. Just the ones we hire suck 

 

You're delusional.

The IU job is not a career killer. Davis, Crean, and Miller all got head coaching jobs after IU. They are just terrible coaches. A good coach knows they can win anywhere with proper support. Someone literally right across the street from Assembly Hall proved that. IU provides adequate resources for a basketball coach to succeed. They just can’t hire worth a sh*t.

Obviously you're one of those with SIS (Small Intellect Syndrome). If you're offended by differing opinions, you are indeed a snowflake.

Reminder: Ben McCollum has now done what 5 of the last 6 Indiana coaches have done...make it to the Elite 8.

How many of those past 6 do you hold in high regard?

@tr32 True but past performance (although at lower levels) indicates that this is normal for him, not a one-off of good fortune.

lol. I think he is.  Likely the poster is a short guy too and wanted some company in his misery.  When one can't combat the argument one typically turns to petty insults. They know we are right. They know our coach isn't going to make it happen. They don't know what to do

Well, in the other thread, you suggested we should pursue Bill Self.  You are delusional about who we can and should get.

you're the type that doesn't want to think outside the box.  Oh this guy won't come here he's got a great gig or this guy won't come because he's from that state or why would he come to IU he's won so much where he's at ... maybe. But it's Dolsons job to sell our job .. and maybe convince someone to make a move.  Some people will move with money , some with power, some with whatever.  It's Dolsons job to find the motivator. And if you contact 10 top guys maybe only 2-3 funnel into consideration..: I'm wagering they don't contact enough.  Why wouldn't we go after Lloyd or Otz or whomever.  Even May .. don't care he's been at Michigan now only 2 years.  Same with Hurley or Golden. Worst they say is no but you had better not leave anything on the table trying to save a buck in negotiations..
