We did it. Cheers.

Okay so here is where we are at,: So yes some high dollar donors are where I am hearing that a verbal has been reached. Sounds like last bit of piece we need to do is get approval for new salary/bonus totals. Brads agents essentially got dolson to verbally up the offer which needs board approval. Takes time for board to approve, send revised contract, get him to sign it, work out other details. Because of this news being massive I think they will work to expedite. Part of reason high dollar donors are first to hear is because there is some additional NIL ask that is part of the verbal with brad. So while this is now at the one inch line we just need to formalize. I doubt top media will hear about this until later tomorrow as they are keeping it pretty quiet right now. I do not know what the verbal is in terms of how much we will pay him but do know that NIL increase will likely be much higher than what woodson worked with and woodson worked with a top 10 NIL budget

We have a verbal agreement. Still need contract signed. Likely will be signed tmw. That is why not today. I expect tmw to respond with "signed sealed delivered, I'm yours".

Going with under a week till we are officially locked down and public announcement. Nothing signed yet but damn close

When all is said and done and you guys hear what dolson has done to land our coach you will wish we hired dolson years ago. Best AD in country

Patience is a virtue. It’s been 25 years, so what’s a few more days. Dolson knows what he’s doing

FWIW I would still be shocked if anyone other than Brad is the coach next year.

If there is anyone I know and trust it's Isaac. I've known him my whole life (3 days), he wouldnt lead us astray.

It doesn't look like I missed anything last night. A couple of catfights. Happy Valentine's Day my fellow BTB'ers. I'm only giving out love today to everyone even BKG. Looks like some promising flights this morning, I'm sure it's nothing :-) Can't wait to watch UCLA come to town tonight, my first time seeing them in person. I think it's going to be a beautiful weekend in Bloomington. Love is in the air. Deep down I think everyone loves Indiana. It just feels like home. Don't forget chocolate and flowers for the ladies and beer and liquor for ourselves.

Love is in the air.

Morning fellow Hoosiers. Just wanted to give a quick update on where things are from my point of view. Obviously we all know brad has his 2 weeks to decide. We knew this would come at some point. From my point of view, i think more things have to go wrong for him to say no then things have to go right for him to say yes. We know he missing coaching and teaching, we gave brad everything he said he needed. His son could come play for him here at iu. Brad knows it's his last chance. I still think Scott will close him. With that being said, while brad can say yes at anytime, he can also say no. In Scott we trust!

Don’t get me wrong, like hearing this stuff as much as anyone, but to paraphrase Snoop from “The Wire”, they need to shut the F up. Noting good comes from them running their mouths. Not a single thing.

Scott dolson you dog

I promise everyone reading this thread, Brad Stevens did not suddenly forget how to coach winning basketball.

All the way from Asia? Cheers brother

If this doesn't happen, some of you may have to go into witness protection haha.

Banned if not true. /s

Scott knows exactly what Brad wants

With certain things. She doesn't do everything with his contracts.

Somebody get Brad Stevens a pen for christ's sake!

That's very possible

Here is a summary of all the flight info we've been tracking since Wednesday. I get flight info thrown at me from 3 different directions, and try to sort it out, so I am going to try and sort this out here. We had 2 planes linked to Ned Pfau go to Opa-Locka on Wednesday. About the same time had a plane from Bedford, MA (where Brad and Celtics fly out of) going to Opa Locka. I've had several people tell me that Brad has a rep near Opa-Locka airport, so the assumption was that it was contract related. Ned's plane then flew to Philly and has been there since Wednesday afternoon. It left this morning to go back to Opa, about the same time a plane from Bedford, MA was due in Philly. Now they missed each other by 15 minutes. Possible smoke screen, because Dolson knows we are tracking. Then this final one popped up from Philly to Bloomington. No links to anyone, as it is a chartered jet. You take all these together, and it is just an amazing set of coincidences, or is it involved? Hope that helps

Just turned my phone on after a few days. Nothing new I don’t think. Besides another 500 pages on this thread. Still Brad or Dusty. Why are people talking about Cronin? 65% Brad, 30% Dusty, 5% other. I’ll check back in Sunday.

I didn’t say Brad wasn’t coming by the way, just my money is on Dusty. I would gladly take Brad!!

Not sure about your self awareness, so I’m just gonna let you know, this came off really backhanded. If that’s what you were trying for, then you do you. But wanted to make sure you understood what everyone other than you was thinking when they read this.
