This is what everyone is freaking out about? As @Artie86 said, that quote is far from him denying being a candidate and the only source of every article claiming that BS is out. So if Goodman actually talked personally with and got Stevens to say the above quote, why would he not ask him,"So are you not a candidate for the job?" Or did he and the above quote was the response? Everything after this quote about not being a candidate is not a quoted statement and not even something Goodman's has the balls to claim as his own thoughts, but rather "sources say." I don't know what the chances are or have been that Brad Stevens will coach IU, but this vanilla non denial is a giant leap to go to him saying he is not a candidate.

Do you not recognize that: 1)last time it was mid March when Stevenson said he was a Masshole. 2)No coach worth a flip is focused on his next job at the moment. 3)Quinn's influence is gone 4)Dolson can chew gum and walk at the same time.

If the rumor that Few reached out to IU is true he has to rocket to the top of the board.

How do you see that a detriment to the other candidates? Other than the hypothetical that a guy has bad feels that they wanted Brad over him there is none. And you can't honestly think that candidate that wants the job would be that butt hurt do you?

I don't get why people would criticize Dolson for going after BS, which if he would be successful in securing , there would be calls to canonize him, in the time before he can not really accomplish anything with active coaches. And the notion that it somehow is a black mark on IU is laughable. If the hire, May, Few, Cronin, etc in a month and a half, no one will give a sh*t about what Dolson did in Mid February.

Pardon my ignorance, but how did a "sources told"... a vague not a candidate post become this direct Brad Stevens quote? I haven't seen that quote on @Thefieldof68. Not saying it isn't true just wondering where that quote was sourced.

It's a lovely name for a girl.

Pretty impressive of him to be so prepared after Woody shocked everyone with his retirement announcement out of left field.

Do those exist?

It's not mutually exclusive

What's your point? They aren't undefeated?

Did ya now?

Not true, Brad is everyone's neighbor.

Poke at you? What are you talking about? You're the one demanding I answer your narrowly focused question. You choose to ignore everything not coaching that involved in being the leader of a basketball program, where Beard is a unmitigated disaster. I don't. Beard has zero, zilch, nada chance at being IU's HC. And that is a good thing.

Relax, you seem to be getting upset. Not denying Beard is a very good coach, but you are the one that needs to ignore key facets of being the leader of a basketball program to justify him as a candidate. Not to mention some key donors, some of which who may be female , may not be copacetic with a drunk woman beater getting their money.

You find off the court conduct irrelevant? Joe Paterno says where were you when I needed you. Why would I take away the fact that there is a high likelihood he embarrasses and/or gets a lawsuit against the university sending this program further down the sh*tter away from his positional value as a candidate?

You know isn't in any of the top25 of any ranking. Chris"Hold my beer, never mind I will just chug it" Beard

Pretty much every poll says otherwise. 19. Mick Cronin, UCLA Cronin led UCLA to three straight Sweet 16s and the 2021 national title game before a 16-17 season in 2023-24. Don't count on the former longtime Cincinnati coach having back-to-back down years. Even amid the transition to the Big Ten, Cronin appears to have the right mix of returning talent and transfers required to get the Bruins dancing again. (11) 11. Mick Cronin, UCLA Cronin enjoyed excellent roster continuity during his first four years at UCLA as he improved the Bruins' win total each season, culminating with a dominant run to the Pac-12 regular season title last season. Now comes a retooling season that will put his freshman-oriented roster strategy to the test. But given his excellent 21-year track record across Murray State, Cincinnati and UCLA, there is little doubt Cronin will make it work. His teams have qualified for 12 straight NCAA Tournaments. (9) 16. Mick Cronin, UCLA Speaking about not being used to losing seasons, Mick Cronin is in the same boat as Miller. Cronin had a few of them at Cincinnati, but last year was his first since 2007-08. It’s been a long time. I’d also argue that Cronin’s done a very respectable job as the head coach of the Bruins. It’s a position that comes with a lot of pressure and scrutiny, but he’s handled it well and been a very good tournament coach with the Bruins.

The guy has physically beaten and bit his girlfriend in a DV altercation, that is factual. He has been videoed drunk in a campus bar, alone on Christmas day, being a d*ck to a woman asking for an autograph on a mini basketball, that is factual. He has quit drinking twice and gone back to drinking twice, that is factual. Color me skeptical. Coaching he's a 9 The rest he's a 1 Everyone would constantly be on edge, just waiting for that next ugly headline every moment he coached IU. Doubt big money donors want to shell out with their money behind that.

It has been pretty confidently reported that Mark Few has inquired about the job. NIL has changed the landscape for players and coaches.

WHat did you think of the game you went to at the O'dome?
