My kids old babysitter was named Bradley. And I’ve got another friend who named his daughter Stevie. I think both are in play here

All star break. And if you want someone you meet in person. You make the time for them.

If you look at the Boston airport (Bedford) that is close to Stevens home and where the C’s fly out of there is also a flight to Philadelphia scheduled for later today.

I’m coming around on him. Even at a slower pace his team makes baskets. They average 3 less points than IU. But the shots they take they make. 50/70/37 on the season vs IU is at 46/72/32

Bring back Adam Howard for GM

They think all IU fans that believe in it are crazy. (Probably true). And especially for Rothstein he looks down on the IU job heavily.

Celtics are thought to be worth $6B. A measly 1% is worth $60,000,000. Not saying it wouldn’t be on the table but certainly a substantial amount. Theo Epstein stake wasn’t disclosed. Billy B got 4%.

My IU fandom has become skeptical. For me, I haven’t watched a single game for the last 7+ years where I thought with 100% certainty we’re going to win this. I’m allowing myself to get excited for IU basketball over the thought of getting Stevens. I’ve been let down so much worse. Let me feel this joy!!!

While this is certainly possible, and has happened for elite executive people in the past (Theo Epstein and Billy Beane) it’s pretty rare. Given the team is selling. Current owners looking to sell 51%. I can’t imagine them wanting to sell majority stake and then give a couple % of their leftover to Brad. On the flip side, the new owner isn’t going to give a couple % to Brad and lose majority ownership.

That looks like Pete Buttigieg

The meeting easily could have happened earlier today and him still make it back in time for the game. We’re talking private planes here. He’s not waiting for a departure time.

This thread is really getting off the rails and it’s only Wednesday. This seems like a Friday afternoon type of day. Lol

This logic of he told us no 4 years ago so that no last for eternity is a wild concept to me. The answer very well may be no again, but IU better actually get a no again. To not ask and assume it’s a no because he said no last time in crazy. So much has changed in 4 years.

IU may not have a chance but a new president and AD that want to win is enough to make it a better job than it was 20 years ago. Add to that the NIL and it’s most certainly the best job in the big ten.

Everyone always brings up Jay Wright in these times but why not Tony Bennett? I’d hate his style of play but as far as a retired coach making a comeback he seems way more likely than either Wright or Beilein. I know IU screwed over his sister.

Put me in the camp of I don’t care the personality. I don’t care the past issues. As long as they won’t continue that behavior. Who cares alpha or what. JUST WIN. I don’t know how any fan after the last 25-30 years of this, and especially the last 8+ is willing to have so many caveats on this or that. Just hire the person who will WIN

So he wants to hear more boos? I guess the fans will give him his wish.

Was going to mention this. Getting an opportunity to coach his son has to be compelling.

Since Conwell was always going to want starter minutes, as far as shooters go, I like the Goode fit better than any of the other targets that were out there. We might see hockey subs after all. In all seriousness the depth we’re building will allow Galloway to slowly work his way back. I wouldn’t be surprised coming off surgery if he plays a lot fewer minutes to start the season. Can’t rush him back and have an X experience again.

Instead of hoping Mike Woodson would only play one big let’s shift the hope to MR continuing to develop his athleticism and shooting to play more outside. I’d much rather put hope in MR than MW.

I’d rather have that group run it back than the group IU has running it back. Coach included.

Does Woodson even know we’re recruiting these guys? I’m not even a bit joking. There is no way he can possibly keep track of all the names being thrown at him. I really don’t think he wants anything to do with roster construction which is why IU is talking about the GM role. I guess my point is Woodson isn’t telling these kids they’ll be starting because he doesn’t even know who he’s talking to

Agree physically he won’t have a problem. But I expect his numbers would dip simply from the offense of Schertz vs Woodson

That could be the case, but I still think if he were getting calls or some interest from Louisville as rumored, if that core can stay together he’d be better served to stick at ISU one more year than move on to SLU. SLU has had some big name coaches in the last 25 years and outside of like 2-3 seasons they’ve not been anything but have been one of the highest paying A10 jobs. No coach has been able to have sustained success there. Seems kind of like an Iowa or Minnesota type of gig in the A10. #SchertztoIU2025

I’m the Josh Schertz hype man. And if he and the core stick st ISU one more year and have a deep run we go after him and bring Conwell and Avila for their senior seasons.
