I’m pretty new here, but like most boards you can tell the wheat from the chaff. I wish I had info to give to take some heat of those in the know, but I got next to nothing.

The place is like The Purge right now.

Does this relate back to the flight info from yesterday? I’m hoping the answer is something like, “Does the pope wear a tall hat?”

Fair warning. If the board gets quiet today, I’m going to start a Jon Gruden rumor. Out of left field. Not a current coach. Big name. IU ties.

If Jerry said he will be able to take the lid off later this week, that leads me to believe that this is not a coach in the field of 68. I’m content now to wait.

Did I hear correctly that the head of the selection committee is the UNC AD?

Anxiety can cause that.

I don’t disagree.

That’s what I was saying earlier. Can there be an agreement in principle? Sure. But a done deal, as in a signed contract? I don’t see how that happens, particularly if there are buyouts involved. But, as I’ve stated, I’m not in the industry.

Agreed. It’s hysteria. And not the awesome Def Leppard album of the same name.

No. I’m not in this particular industry. But I have significant dealing in contracts in general. I don’t know that I agree with your application of contingency, but again, I’m not a sports agent and not in the industry.

I continue to have a significant issue with the idea that a done deal has been completed with a coach currently under contract and coaching another team. I think it’s completely unrealistic for several reasons.

Nope. Gemini might be, however.

Oh Bradley, My Bradley (a poem by AI) The parquet gleamed, a canvas bright, Where Stevens danced, a symphony of light. With Celtics green, he wove his spell, A master tactician, a knowledge well. But Indiana called, a siren's song, Where crimson hues, where Hoosiers throng. A challenge new, a path untrod, To build a dynasty, to please the gods. The Celtics' heart, a pang it felt, As Stevens' ship, with Hoosier sails, was dealt. Yet gratitude remained, for seasons grand, A legacy etched, a guiding hand. Now Bloomington beckons, a fresh domain, Where Stevens' wisdom, hope to reign. With Hoosier grit, and tactics keen, A new chapter, a vibrant scene.

How about A.I.?

I find it weird that I had to ask you twice. -Phil

Stop wasting time with pants!

I confess that I need someone to explain the idea of Cody as a GM. I can’t think of another instance where a prominent coach had a hand picked GM who had as prominent a profile as Zeller would. I could see Zeller as an assistant coach and/or recruiting director. But I’m missing the link as GM. I’m not dismissing it, I just have not seen or have missed the contentions of why this would be viable.

Interesting observation. Why wouldn’t you rep? I edited this to admit I’m not cool enough to use lingo and promise not to do so in the future.

If you’re not from Indiana or a Celtic fan, you have no idea who he is. Brad Stevens looks like the guy holding a seat for his girlfriend who is the daughter of one of the coaches.

I gotta go to bed. But I’m also dismayed that RTZ did not reappear. The Fox Mulder in me thinks he’s been shut down along with all the other people that know Brad is coming. Just saying that makes me think I need medication.

Must not have had any protest camps then. I was there to see the protesters set up camp for the Iraq War 1 protest. We counterprotested after IU beat Purdue on a rainy spring night. (It’s still fuzzy why beating Purdue turned into crowds chanting “USA!”)It was fantastic. First time I ever saw riot police.

Prop planes have more runway options. Just sayin’.

He is not with anyone (in the pic). He looks annoyed that he got photographed. It’s happening.

Don’t tell me what to do.
