I'd love to hear...DM?

I mean, unless it's a current sitting coach...but if it's not then just announce it..

If Dolson has his guy then this is all that has to be done: https://x.com/jeffborzello/status/1897414982004040044?s=19

I know, and I understand the frustration, but not everyone is on here 24/7 and can't remember everyone takes on specific coaches. I remember now that you like Cronin but I had forgotten. When I saw you get all over someone for asking who you like it just seemed a little counterproductive to what you were asking for earlier...

If you're exhausted with people asking who you would like as the coach or who you think will succeed/fail what do you truly want? The question led down the path to what you wanted to do...discuss your coaching ideas and options.

This....and also knowing that with Woodson, the media narrative that IU needed to hire "one if their own" or "one from the Bob Knight tree" is now done and debunked helps. Otherwise, the media would continue to push that narrative.

Blowing east or blowing from the east?

It has been well documented that Turgeon is left-handed. We must not hire a left-handed coach. They must be eliminated from the candidate list. There is just something about left-handed coaches.....

I think the point is that the compliance department turned it in in the first place as opposed to not handling it internally and/or not cooperating with the NCAA like all other high profile institutions have done that they end up investigating.

I also love that UK wanted him and he said no. If we don't get Stevens and Drew says yes to us, it will make it that much sweeter of a hire that he spurned UK...

Awesome! Good things about a specific candidate?

Adidas doesn't sell fan merchandise that anyone wants to buy. I m guess they don't feel there is any money in it.

Marty Simmons...you just gave the dooms-dayers a name for next week...

I had been there prior to Hurricane Ian. I don't think it's open anymore due to damages from that hurricane. But it was an awesome place with pretty good food right across the street from the beach.

Some of you have talked yourselves out of every great or even good candidate as a possibility. Stevens won't come because his daughter told him not to, Pearl won't come because his son wants to follow him, Drew won't come because IU is a pagan university, etc.....At this rate, those of you that think so poorly of this job will be just hoping we hire Dan Dakich

Finally.....acceptance....I'm proud of you.

Seriously, even if it's his one last trolling effort, at least it's specific and creative. I love it!

How do the naysayers not enjoy this? Even if it doesn't happen...so entertaining...

I agree this could be something that ends up being a reason he wouldn't accept the job. However, if he accepts it, I would have to believe at that point that he wants it and would put is all into it.

Anything is possible when it comes to Brad Stevens....

We will have to watch all platforms, TV, websites, social media. If I didn't know any better, I would think that Isaac works for Fox Sports, is having contract meetings at 3, and needs to show increased traffic....

If I were Isaac, and were trying to troll this thread even more, I would come on here at 3:00 and post a link to Brad Stevens' Masshole press conference from 4 years ago like it is a link to a live stream for the announcement. I would respect him more for creativity, at least...

If you want to argue on the basis of productivity, all discussions on this board are a waste of time. Just ask all the employers of fans on this site the last 3 or 4 weeks and tell me productivity didn't decrease...

That's the IU way....we might as well start the "fire ___________" thread and fill it in when it's announced....even if it's Stevens.

Most likely because the only people in the know are trustworthy and actually care about the wishes of the other person. If a friend, family member, etc. Asks for something to be kept quiet until they are ready to announce, then people should keep their mouths shut. With regard to agents, they was to continue to get paid, so they have a vested interest as welll to respect their clients wishes. I'm guessing, if the hiring process is complete with any coach, there is a very small number of people that know the actual details about what's going on.
