I am pretty sure I know who one of them is.

Thanks for chiming in.

Or we need to just get rid of Twitter altogether. It's bots, trolls, and a**holes.

Funny that both Trilly and Rabby are saying the exact same thing.

I think a "home run" hire doesn't necessarily = Stevens. It could be the unknown out of left field guy (BD) or simply a big name still coaching (or not). The smoke seems to indicate someone has been signed or agreed to. Regardless, I think a home run hire means it's a crowd pleaser.

You never know...just spotted house hunting...

Got it. But I doubt they're going to make another announcement. Like he "retired" and that's that.

I am kind of confused here. That announcement was made in February.

I just don't agree. I'd rather see them in the tournament. Call me crazy.

Rooting for the team to lose is pretty lame. So people hate Woody so much that if he some how, some way, were to make a legitimate run in the tourney fans would be annoyed because it delays the naming of a new coach? Like come on that's pretty silly. At some point you can call fandom into question if you'd rather see them lose than win because you don't like the coach or a player.

Not in this case.

I have been saying this for a while. You're not "canning" Woody mid season to hire Brownell or Cronin.

Yes, I prefer my coaches have slicked back hair and a leisure suit and if possible, a kerchief around the neck.

Love it.

So who's most likely to throw out a something burger and when is the real question?

I might not always agree with "him", but he brings valid opinions and perspectives.

I would say we need a guy who does it all, not one or the other. I know that might be stating the obvious, but I think we've lacked a "complete" coach. Coaching acumen + personality and culture setter who grinds.

Supply and demand. You ask for it, the dealer will supply it.

I will bet $1000 of your hard earned money Brownell will not be the hire.

Talk about entitlement though. He'd be nothing if it wasn't for IU and he acts like he knows everything. Zero respect. A simple provocateur with very unoriginal or interesting ideas or insight. Is he still pining for an IU guy?

I understand. He'll finish out his contract most likely (which I don't know when that ends) But I don't see either party agreeing to a new one after that. This has nothing to do with IUBB btw.

The NBA isn't college. They don't just keep coaches around because of their track record. If you aren't making the playoffs on a regular basis you'll get fired. Donovan is definitely on the hot seat. The Bulls are a mess right now and notoriously cheap. Donovan is top ten in salary. They aren't paying him to lose regardless of their terrible roster management etc.

I am not saying Dolson's a genius, but it seems like he'd know if Stevens was really an option or not pretty quickly. I've never really understood this "let me think about it..." notion. He either wants the job or he doesn't. I don't think Stevens would be this wishy washy. So if he wants the job and the contract demands were met, he'd give a commitment pretty quickly. If he didn't want the job, I don't think he'd play games and string IU along.
