    I wasn’t going to tell everyone but screw it, if it’s wrong it’s wrong. The search is over!! Brad will be the next coach. Same guy that told me the Sampson buyout sent me a text and said Brad is HOME! LFG!!!

    I will say that IU met with the Stevens family since January, maybe even end of December. It was a good fit we thought, we listened to everything they had to say, we met everything they wanted, they agreed to the offer, then went back to Boston and he got the sesame things from them. 2.5 million raise to over 7 million now. If this is then end of Brad then Scott will get someone good for 7 million. I’m sorry I just tried to pass on everything I getting. I don’t get paid for this and I’m just as disappointed as anyone

    We started discussing those hurdles with his beautiful agent back in late January, early February. So everything was written up exactly how they wanted. So there’s not really much to be done. This has been planned out and agreed upon.

    I think we know there in a lot of interest from what we’ve heard. Scott is not firing Archie without a replacement. Trouble in Boston? Family back Indiana, pay raise, huge offer, everyone loves you right away. Dolson has used former players like Isiah to talk to Brad. I feel good about this. Dolson is probably having a nice scotch tonight. Cheers Hoosiers!!

    If Rabby is reporting that Stevens to IU is possible, then I feel confident in my sources saying it’s a done deal. He’s super careful with his wording. I feel better.

    I still believe everything is good on our end. I think we’re just waiting for the Celtics to finish up their loose ends. Stay positive Hoosiers.

    I believe 0708 dude has good info. Now with the flight info. I’m just kind of stunned. But I do think the deal is done.

    @theirishjesus who is a Celtics fan and has 25K followers said this morning that Brad was working on an exit contract with the Celtics. Just had a friend send that to me

    Up to him, sure, but his better half had more than a small say in this particular decision, for more reasons than one.

    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 wanna say it’s a done deal so bad, but I can’t yet!! I was told if it happens it will be sooner than we think. Someone’s better half is ready to come home.....

    Guys, please stop filling my inbox asking how confident and comfortable I am. If I wasn’t either I wouldn’t have shared it on this board already. Please just stop!!! I’ll share what I hear I promise.

    Long time lurker here, i manage airports for a living. There is a single flight from the Boston reliever airport in bedford (GA overflow), to Indy reliever tomorrow at 10, 1240 arrival. It is a a company that is used often by sports VIPs and wealthy who are not the type of rich that can afford to own a jet. Skeptical yes, but a random flight to the Indy reliever, when no other flights from Boston to Indiana exist, is at the least, intriguing. Come on home BS. There is your random flight update.

    Just said they were going to go after said recruit & pretty sure like 90% that Stevens was going to be the coach.

    Archie. Miller. Fired.

    Now that this is over. I will say from last year to this year lots of boosters got the feeling that they didn't care for Archie, thought he was arrogant. Then about three weeks ago, maybe a month I was told if he lost the final 6 games he was done. About that time I was told Dolson had started reaching out to boosters to see if they would willing to put up buyout money. Most said yes but they all wanted to know who he was going to get. Then started to put out feelers to gauge interest. He got a good idea that there would be interest. Last Thursday he met with the athletic board, they wanted Archie gone and their #1 choice was Stevens, this weekend met with trustees. I think it dragged out a little longer than we thought. Scott knew what he was doing the whole time. I will try to answer any questions you have. I don't know that much about the search.

    Deals can be done, and not be known until those who made the deal want it to be known.

    Thanks Coach Miller

    For whatever reason, it didn't work out here and a change was needed. But thanks for the hard work you put into the program. You were always a classy individual and I always wished you the best. Most of all, thanks for the high character athletes you brought in. It was refreshing to not hear about off the court issues that plaques so many programs. Good luck coach, I'll be rooting for you.

    I’m not going into complete detail of who I am and how I know things. The Sampson buyout was completely different then what was in the contract because of his infractions so there’s that on that side. My sources come from a few different levels in the AThletic Department. I’ve missed on several recruits and been right on several more when thinking they were coming to IU. On HSN i told them Archie was going to be fired and that the feelers were out out in January. That’s all your going to get, if it’s good enough you are welcome, if not sorry about your luck. LOL

    Everyone needs to go play the Pfau golf course at IU. If you see Mr. Pfau say thank you for loving IU

    Patience is a virtue. Enjoy the ball games guys and gals. We are in a good place. Speculate all you want but it’s not helping anything or anyone. If, that’s a big IF, something changes I’ll spill the beans. Don’t think I have to worry about that though. I think I’m going to drink some beer and watch some ball tonight all the while having a smile on my face!

    My list from what I know 1 Brad Stevens 2 Brad Stevens 3 Brad Stevens There have been talks from our people to his and this has gone farther than ever before. I can say that because it's never gone anywhere before. I'm not saying he is going to be the next coach. I'm just saying that we're going to make an offer that he has to think about. 4A Chris Beard 4B Scott Drew 5 Eric Musselman I don't think we need to go any farther than this

    Have you heard anything about Coach Roberts making any calls to a recruit? Feeling comfortable about saying who he thinks will be the new coach. Heard something that makes me smile.
