Don’t think Yeagley or Chris have given a time frame

Right I don’t believe anything is happening but my hypothesis would be something like “it leaks at noon because he tells the C’s at shootaround then” not an announcement.

Like...gullible types or people who should know better?

I don’t believe anything’s happening at noon but if it was THE THING THAT HAPPENS would be a Woj leak, not something preceded by a Woj leak

If it’s Stevens I don’t think it’d stretch into late May or June. Of course the C’s can play that long but I just doubt you’d have nothing until then.

This is why I said tomorrow or next Saturday make more sense. They’ve actually been on the road all week.

If Tom Allen wanted me to coach Indiana basketball I would be powerless to resist

So half the father/son duo

Believe Woj had the Archie news at lunch time on a Saturday? This and another tweet about a 7 year contract eleven minutes apart.

Appreciate this, personally, as my optimism was waning. We probably know something soon. Other interesting candidates will lose, dominoes will fall (Beard to Texas?), and even if not next week, probably within two, as the F4 will be over By the way, just looking at schedules, Sunday or next Saturday always made more sense to me.

I have the same question but I also have a guess. As we know, Boston has struggled this year. Injuries, underperformance, bad luck, the whole thing. Even the best nba coaches have a shelf life. Ainge knows it, Stevens knows it. They probably wouldn’t fire BS under normal circumstances. But they like him, maybe a shakeup would help, and if they know he’s interested in the IU job, maybe everyone gets what they want if the C’s fire BS: fresh voice for them, clean break for him. No accusations of “quitting on the team,” etc.

Sure, though I think he left enough daylight in his “masshole” comments to later leave.

Those guys work hard but there’s been a lot of journo disagreement this week, and TBH they haven’t exactly been out in front of much. Might be over, but I’ll wait until I hear it from folks I trust

Relevant to the earlier discussion about whether chronic Hoosier knows ...

Y’know, if you’re ever sourced something exciting but sworn to secrecy, you can always send me a PM

If they’re in the portal OSU can already talk to them

Wonder if it’ll be a domino when UCLA and future associate head coach (?) Michael Lewis lose on Sunday.

Holtmann’s good! Doubt he’s leaving, though.

Two things that give me hope there’s still more than smoke: 1. If the “masshole” presser last week was coupled with an outright “no,” or “don’t call anymore,” I think our insiders would know. 2. Go re-read the actual comments. He says says he’s not considering the job, a verb and phrasing you could later work around if you took said job. The rest of his comments don’t add much: Indiana is home, IU is special, grateful to Celtics/Danny Ainge/Wyc Grousbeck/Steve Pagliuca, love working here etc. Maybe I need a tinfoil hat but the denial is less “I’m not leaving” than “kill the story.” And if he meant “I’m not leaving” he would’ve told Dolson to scram, which our insiders would’ve heard by now.

I’ll take a stab at it. 1. In general, college hoops hires happen anywhere between the end of a team’s season and shortly after the final 4. So there’s not tons of urgency yet. 2. Maybe he offered to give Boston some time to A) get past the trade deadline to maintain stability, B) put a succession plan in place, C) something similar/unknown. 3. By all accounts the Boston front office likes him TONS. So they might like him to coach as long as they can have him even knowing he’s moving on.

Sorry to step on your joke! Figured you were kidding BUT if you have some Stevens hope, peegs mentioning the rabbit is good news.

I’d actually guess that Peegs mentioning it likely means he or Rabby are hearing it somewhere legit.

Might be longer — that’s the timeline of the peegs commenter. OSU guy on Twitter circled NEXT weekend

While they’re different coaches I think they have similar recruiting appeals, though I think BS’s NBA experience would be a huge boost at IU

That struck me as odd, too. Maybe nothing, but maybe a wink, or even just an indicator that either way his subconscious hadn’t let it go
