  1. At the very least you have to assume that any flights are only relevant in the very late stages. Not every guy who takes an early interview will be doing it in person, totally agree. Honestly might be a big reason no one knows much.
  2. If you really want to make it a Stevens thing (can’t believe I’m doing this), you need look no further than his statements at the pressers. Always says things like it’s his job to try to turn the season around, he can’t not go through this rough patch with his players, etc. The trade deadline is the only external thing that he (or the Celtics) can point to and say “we did everything we could for this season and now we’re at where we’re at.” I am not saying there is anything to hang your hat on here. But that’s how I’d take it in retrospect if things do change.
  3. I can’t do this again. And yet... I want to.
  4. Recruiting is the main thing I think people give him a lot of credit for. Lacks HC experience but has seemed to be a more successful team builder than Woodson.
  5. The plane from BMG - ELH is registered to a local resident and has not otherwise left the state of Indiana for at least several weeks. Interesting. Probably just a vacation... But we are now both insane.
  6. I agree with this in general based on what I've seen, except I think Dolson would hire the best possible coach regardless of the intangible benefits. That said, I think BS was the ideal because he did check both boxes -- recruiting pro-level talent as well as developing players in a cohesive system. It's important to note I think that Dolson said "a system recruits want to play in" -- not players. Recruits implies high-potential players. (But ultimately I think if a classic-style college stalwart was interested, the interest would be mutual).
  7. I knew I stayed on this board past 10pm for something. Snoop Dogg, Snow... it’s 90s rap hour every night.
  8. To be clear, I don’t mean you when I say “insider source.” I mean the folks you guys are getting info from. There has been a change in the tone of the info that coincides with all the discussion of things being kept “under wraps” since Friday.
  9. I think “tight lipped” and “unorganized” are synonymous here. Some of the insider sources are starting to get chapped at being kept in the dark, it sounds like. Doesn’t mean everything is going perfectly of course.
  10. SI Indiana is only a quasi-real outlet, fwiw. It’s closer to a fan blog than anything.
  11. One tiny addition is that a few Indiana media types (from WISHTV, Tri-state Homepage) shared Lander's post right after he tweeted it... at 12:30 am. They added no additional info, but I always find it at least interesting when blue checkmarks share something that would otherwise be considered just rumor. More interesting than nonsense timelines being mentioned on the Peegs board, anyway.
  12. Someone just casually mentioned that maybe he was someone Lander likes and this board's gone straight down the drain since that moment.
  13. Lot of people on the Rivals board are eager to claim what day an announcement will happen, which is how I can tell their claims aren’t true.
  14. As time has gone on and I read (too much) into all the rumors, I have started to believe his comments about style of play (fast-paced, modern, a system players want to play in, etc) indicate he wants NBA experience. With the BS rumors followed by credible sources talking up Woodson, and whatever is happening now seeming to be off-timed with the tournament, it still tracks. Doesn't mean it can't be a Beilein or another "college guy" who has NBA experience. But that's my hunch based on those comments.
  15. Interesting how these legit accounts are all from Evansville. Makes sense considering Lander is part of it, but this is by far the most interconnected crop of hinting that I’ve seen.
