How much have you heard outside of the "in the know" on here? If you are coaching Baylor, TT, Bama, Vill, I don't think B'town Banners is on your radar. There has been zero national news about the IU job. We are circling in our own self important universe the rest of the NCAA, outside of PUke fans, couldn't give a sh1t about. It won't be a problem.

All unnecessary. Where is the first place you go when returning to Bloomington? Have a guy at Nick's, Kilroy's, Mother Bears, and the Irish Lion, 90% one will be his first stop.

It couldn't be lining up better to happen, with the Celtics starting to show cracks in player infighting on the sidelines, fan discontent, and uninspired play, this becomes an easy mutual parting sell. Ainge gets his, "We would like to thank Brad, but it has been agreed to by both parties that it is time to move on ," soundbite. Celtics end up with a $0 loss on the remaining contract. Stevens gets to not have lied about "quiting" as Celtics coach and make the move that adds tons of job and financial security, along with all different angles of improved quality of life.

But it wouldn't be a Celtics flight BS would be taking with anything related to IU.

Doesn't matter if he isn't part of the league. Wink, wink.

Probably why you have 6 experiences.

If this happens a big shout out has to go to Coach Archie Miller. The Celtics current trajectory makes this seem about the first real shot that BS would bolt for IU and AM timed it up perfectly for us.

That may be true in the sense that they just can't leave for another NBA job. Same is true about all professional sports. But they are not indentured servants. Just more bulls*t from Goodman

Don't be so narrow minded.

I can not see how BS isn't leaning hard towards taking the IU job at the very least by that presser. Answers to an IU question: 1) If you have no intention at all to take the job: I'm flattered but I have no interest in the job or leaving Boston. 2) If you don't intend to but will listen: It's flattering, but I am happy coaching this team and we have things we are still trying to accomplish. 3) If you are leaning towards or intend to take the IU job: See above interview.

Seems it would be sorta cruel if Stevens continued to wax poetic about Indiana yet had no intention whatsoever to listen to an offer. Makes no sense. He very well may not leave Boston, but if you love the school and it's fanbase, it unlikely you lead them on if you aren't at least a bit intrigued by the possibility.

SO did anyone notice Chubbo McChuberson cut off slow talking Brad Stevens, likely muting his mic, just as he said, " I am not..." I believe the remainder of what he said was "...going to turn down the greatest job in the world again. Thank you Boston, now go suck it."

Not to mention the body made for it?

Was there in 87. Fish would be stolen and BWW would right their wrong and become BW3 once again.

From the casual observer standpoint, the situation is far different than 2017. At the time of the 2017 quote the Celtics were 18-7 in the last 25 games, it was a team that had improved his 1st 3 seasons and on it's way to a 53-29 1st place finish in the East. Since then they have finished 2nd, 4th, 3rd, and currently sit 5th just 2 games over .500. The shine on BS in Boston has tarnished. So his choice now is between a fanbase that largely is ready to see him gone and one that would gush over him like the prom queen asking a freshman to the dance.

"Brad Stevens tells us he is NOT planning on leaving the Celtics to take the Indiana job. " That's the most non-denial denial, I have seen in a while. A far cry from 2017: “I don’t speak to the rumor mill or anything else,” Stevens, 40, said. “I’ve made pretty clear I’m going to be here. I’ve been asked about that quite a bit. And I’ll keep saying the same thing. I’m going to be here until the Celtics decide they want to move in another direction.”

That would be sort of like living with your ex-wife while engaged to your HS sweetheart. Not sure that that cohabitation would go well.

Well, I know that changing my avatar has been the lynchpin to this whole coaching search, so I have finally made my decision. You're welcome.

She definitely needs a walk, she wants to know the identity of the new coach as much as any of us. I see the get off your lazy @$$ look in her eyes.

If it isn't too much trouble could you take the dog for another walk? I am anxious to find out who will be coaching IUB next season.

Do you actually think the BOT puts weight into booing fans? They see dollars and cents. Do you believe if donors weren't ready to pony up the $10M buyout they would even be considering firing AM? Booing adversely effects the players and future recruits much more than any coach , AD, or BOT. They are doing the math of how much those buyout donations will affect donations to other departments vs increased donations from a new coach exciting the boosters offsetting the money lost to a buyout. It's really that simple. In their minds they may even be convinced that they are making the decision largely free of financial incentive, but it is what drives them.

Booing 19-22 yo young men isn't good for them, the school, recruiting or anyone. Just watch the players as they were walking off as AM was being accosted after the Rutgers loss. Who benefits from the looks on their faces? Doesn't matter that it was meant for AM, the players hear it as directed at their performance. Maybe it makes some simpleton alum feel tough and empowered, but it is just a sad look as an adult. Hope we move on from AM, but taking it out on the "product on the floor" is detestable.

Gotta find a spot for Jay Edwards. Replace Yogi or maybe 6th man.

Do you actually think fans opinions are why the program has not been relevant for so long? Really?
