Did Brad do a lot of in-person scouting a conference tournaments last year, year before, etc.? 

Can’t speak for BS specifically but tournaments are a great way to see a lot of players in a short period with minimal travel. As a bonus the games have clearer stakes than regular season games and the neutral court setting mitigates potential home/road effects, so yes, plenty of executives and scouts are typically at them

Just sayin’.

Pretty sure I saw a prop plane land in Dunn Meadow.

I picture @Uspshoosier sitting like Sherlock in elementary with 10 TVs - scanning them all.

It's just interesting....that of 30 NBA GMs....the one that we are all the most interested in is sitting at the SEC conference tournament in what looks like the cheap seats.  Have any other Tweets of NBA GMs sitting at conference tournaments been made this week?   

Not sure many teams GM's/President's are as well known as Stevens...

Not to throw cold water on this, but the plane type makes me think it is unlikely. This is a propeller plane. Still faster than driving but not a comfy ride. 
 

We never tracked a flight from Charlotte back to Bedford though. So maybe he flew or drive to Nashville from Charlotte. 

Yes this is a nothingburger I think.

True. But as backwards as Tennessee is, I think they have space. 
 

Plus, anything can be a runway depending on how you feel about your plane…

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.

Where is @RoadToZion to make sense of this speculation?

I know RTZ is legit...so he wouldn't be trolling the board...so maybe his source's info changed...

He said he would be back tonight after dropping the info this morning.

Shouldn't people like that be in private suites or something? Not just out sitting amongst the regulars?

Yeah...if he came back I missed it...

Not necessarily...you want the players to know you're there watching...

I think you are reading that wrong.  If Brownell terminates he owes 20% of remaining compensation — about $3.3 million.  It’s 50% only if Clemson terminated.

I computed as you did. :) I wanted it be higher, so it could eliminate him as a possibility.

Brad Stevens is scouting in Nashville.  Meanwhile, a plane has arrived in Nashville from Bloomington.

That one guy. 

Or, SD has listened to Cig and is negotiating with Byington

[spe317]

Honestly even at the SEC tournament he probably flies under the radar unless they’re sickos like us. Especially SEC where they think a basketball is an over-inflated football.

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.

RTZ says to watch the flights today. Chris007 gets the tip to keep an eye on one specific plane, which, coincidentally, happens to be heading straight to Nashville. Funny thing is, that's where Brad is, watching SEC games. But honestly, it's probably nothing
