My thing is if Stevens was not in the least bit interested he would have come out and said so. Why let the speculation go if he wasn't? For IU you give him the keys to the athletic department and what else he wants.

I completely agree 8Bucks. IMO, Brad Stevens is too much of a Hoosier for the administration to mess this up. He grew up here. He bled Cream and Crimson. Maybe this me being a homer but I feel there must be a part of him that is homesick and want to create his legend with the General. Hell if Knight leaves in the mid 90s we may very well have had Coach K. Brad Stevens could move back home around family and build the program back to levels he remembers it by to make it the dream job it once was to him. If nothing else it should be something to think about.

Lmao that's awesome!

Lol... Please take a pm to any mod about.

You wh0re!!!

Boob had me at hello. He had me at hello.

I am going to politely ignore this.

Ok Feathery here is the problem as the mods will see with your post. "Sunshine pumpers" will be a ban. "Assault on the lack of coaching" will be a ban. You can have a discussion without those two things. If you can't you will probably get banned here as well. Even if it's factual and we agree with you we will ban you. You don't know how many people we actually agree with we have to ban because they can't play nice. Don't become one of those people. Please

I understand that. But this is something we have discussed behind the scenes and being nice wasn't getting through. Not necessarily just with Trav but with others as well. Trav has had other mods have issues with him. This isn't a singular type of thing. Would we be best banning people? We don't want to but open discussion has gotten us as mods nowhere. There isn't one single mod who wants Crean here. But when we came to this site it was so both sides could have a voice. I have been as hard on GoColts over the years as a mod but that dude came here and adapted his style to what we have asked. That is all we ask. If my style here is too harsh it sucks but like Crean communicating with the team being nice hasn't got through.

That is fine. But the mob will allow the other side to have an opinion.

Agreed. That is why we are done with the mob. When people want to be positive we are not going to allow people to jump on them. We also will not allow trolling. A lot of what goes on here people need to move on with. Or they will be gone.

I am not going ban anyone or anything, but if this is a bitching thread you guys will get my wrath on some things we are done with.

Anything you wanting to add Wayne or were you just sighing?

All over Bill fucking Self. This dude has no idea what we as mods are tired of. What we think. Or the fact that we have a mod board where we go to vent. Or maybe he doesn't realize this board he comes to bitch daily is scaring people away because of the negativity. Hey guess what Trav? This board is on the Internet due to more and more fans coming on. When you continually bitch and they don't show up because they are tired of the bitching there is no more board. You wouldn't understand why us mods try to keep an even keeled atmosphere, but keep bitching and running your mouth about things you have 0 clue on.

Crying foul? I am a mod. It is my job to tell you to quit being a dipshit. You might want to back up off of me on things you have no clue about son.

I am tired of the mob mentality towards posters from those who feel the posters don't agree with them. I have said my peace with that dude multiple times. He can't accept that shockingly someone doesn't agree with him on a message board. Then he tries portraying me as something he doesn't have a clue on because I don't ***** constantly. I am not part of the mob. I wanted him gone after the Devin Davis situation but I don't need to rehash that every day to feel better about myself.

I have supported Crean huh? Just because I don't ***** and moan like some of you constantly about the same things doesn't mean I support him. You might want to your facts straight before you come at me with that weak ****.

How under Tom Izzo is your defense not a staple of your coaching?

True but at one point we were his dream job. That should be mean something.

I don't think they would have to turn sour in Boston. He left Butler without it being sour.

Yep you can't bring up how badly we need to win due to our stature without the academics or clean program. Those are what this program was. Those are the things that made us proud. I guess I can take a hike.

Right....

Oh I absolutely agree with your sentiment. We have seen that here a lot where people have openly rooted against Crean to the point where they want us to lose to say I told you so. I just think after years of the same patterns it is obvious this is a systematic problem with Crean. He did a great job bringing us back the right way in the beginning. He just isn't the coach to get us over the hump. I do agree though that he will not be fired mid season. I hope for this team to do well, but as has been seen Crean's teams have a tendency to fade. I can hope, but if this leads to say an 8 seed, it's time to pull the trigger.

I think the voice the boys are hearing isn't getting through. Time to change that voice.

Luke Walton would be the shit, and we may see Bill!
