    I think it’s important to note that when people post things they “hear” from insiders it generally is what they hear.   The stuff I heard and shared is what happened.  Indiana went full court press on Stevens.  Something we all wanted Indiana to do.   Steven’s got a nice big raise from it.    If it’s the end, we move on and can finally close the Brad Stevens chapter at Indiana as if it doesn’t happen now, it never will.  
     
    all that being said, if my current employer asks me about my position with the company as I’m entertaining and listening to another company my answer is pretty damn similar to his.   
     
    The needs were supposedly met for Stevens to come, he chose otherwise.  If it’s over I’m happy it played out this way, so we know we threw everything at him and weren’t being cheap.

    I’ll say this.  Over the last 10+ years running this site and working with Indiana and especially when Hutchens came on board I’ve met some very connected people.  I don’t reach out to them much and occasionally they’ll reach out to me.   I’ve heard rumblings of this for a bit.    
    Stevens is the only choice at this point,  Indiana was prepared to make whatever offer needed he couldn’t refuse.   Haven’t heard anything is done, but have heard confidence from IU side as they presented everything he needed to see.  So unless a major change of heart... I’m optimistic.  I still won’t believe anything until I see the press conference.
    don’t shoot the messenger, I’m just relaying the tidbits I’ve gotten which aren’t groundbreaking.

    I really think some of you guys need to look at this situation critically. Brad Stevens owes IU nothing. We did nothing to get him to where he is now. He did that himself. He made a critical decision about his future and his family’s future and used IUs pursuit of him to better that future. I don’t see anything wrong with that. He’s a great coach, but he didn’t want the job. Leave it at that.
