Whoever the next coach is, an addition should be added Assembly Hall for him to live! Terms of contract, you shall live in the hall until you  bring us to the promised land!

And the term "Promised Land" has been downgraded from a Natty to just making the tournament.

This should go without saying obviously, but there will be no press conference tomorrow. I’ll be able to take the lid off a bit later in the week. But will say this, anybody providing details right no

I’ve had several PM’s so wanted to drop a quick line to the broader board. Love this group and fully intend to continue to contribute to the community, Im not going anywhere. (Sorry to a few of you) B

So I couldn’t get much from him unfortunately. But, to me that’s a good thing. There’s been pretty much zero chatter, nor leaks for a month about coaches. He said it doesn’t matter that the season is

Wes Miller is an interesting candidate. There’s obviously been the argument that he’d likely leave to take the UNC job but that is contingent on him actually succeeding at IU. The Tar Heels aren’t gonna sign a guy who can’t get the wheels running in Bloomington.

If Miller is a candidate that we don’t think can win games at IU, then I understand the argument against him. But if the argument is, “He may do well and then leave,” I say to that, I’ll take a few years of success and we can reevaluate if he leaves for Chapel Hill.

Can always make the UNC buyout larger. Kind of like TT did with Beard and TX

The good news is, everyone could keep their "It's Miller Time" t-shirts....

Can't say I like one thing about Gregg Doyle, but this is not an uplifting thing to read if you're CAM. I honestly feel bad for the guy. When it was "Crean's time", I didn't feel bad for him. He was a huge narcissist and had worn out his welcome. Our fan base booing players and turning aggressive in public is unattractive to students & parents.

Brad, we need you. 

Interesting that a possible need for change could lead to a fine marriage for both -- though I still think it's an extreme long shot. The part I don't like is waiting till June and if Stevens says no, proceeding with Archie for a fifth year. 

I like Archie and until late in the season, I hadn't joined the "Fire Archie" clarion call. But at this point, bringing him back for another season under any circumstance is a recipe for disaster, in my opinion. I just think it's time to move on, period -- for both Archie and IU.

I think if the offer is right, I could see him making the move unless he wants to try and hold out for a Duke UNC move in a few years. I don’t think he will be a Texas Tech lifer. 

I could see him staying in conference and ending up at Kansas

Which one of you guys did Gregg talk to?

It was I. I called in and pretended to be Steve Alford.

We had a verbally and physically abusive coach for three decades and he had no problem getting recruits. Our fanbase won’t keep players away. We just need to win and they’ll come.

The timing is perfect for Brad Stevens to consider the job. Okay, not the exact month in March.

But the Celtics have tapped out on future potential for the foreseeable future. The Nets being great at basketball is good for Indiana Basketball. Maybe. 

Gosh I hope Scott actually attempts to talk to Brad. 

 

I suspect it would be relatively easy for Dolson to talk to Brad, but much harder to talk him into changing his mind re: NBA coaching

unless all the recent rancor and criticism by Celtic fans, and possible frustration of dealing with certain NBA players, has given Brad a new perspective on college-vs-pro coaching (and, yes, that would include the "horrors" of recruiting that nearly all college coaches dislike)

0-9.  CAM is 0-9 against them.  I don't feel bad for him one bit.  He hasn't won a single game against them.

Craig Smith was brought up a time or 2 and Casey Alexander has been vetted by all of us experts and I believe we decided it was too risky at this juncture. Mark Pope to me is interesting but he may be looking to stay in his particular geographical region.

not sure how I feel yet about Pope as a potential candidate, but I do suspect he's less "tied down" to Provo (or Utah in general) than a lot of folks assume

last time I looked, there were 3 LDS churches in Bloomington

Having young talent in the NBA is a great problem to have, but it doesn't always equal winning. The Celtics want world championships, not ECF appearances. 

The Celtics have $0 money to spend this summer on attracting top free agents. They have aging stars and bad contracts in Kemba Walker. 

The Celtics have been unable to attract top free agents ever since the Isiah Thomas incident. They landed Kemba Walker because they offered him a max contract at an old age. 

The Celtics don't have draft assets, no bench players, and the east is slowly getting better. The Celtics have failed to make significant trades and frankly they have two assets that they don't want to trade. 

Tatum or Brown will eventually want out. 

The Celtics have peaked. Tatum and Brown will get better but the roster mathematically really can't get better for several years. 

I keep hearing that Ainge "loves Brad" but I also get the impression that Ainge's job may be in as much or more jeopardy than Stevens' is

Brad hasn’t been to the finals with one of the most storied organizations in the NBA. 
 

It’s been 9 years.

 

Change might be needed. Brad might be willing to leave. And yes, Danny could be in trouble. He’s probably one of the more overrated GM’s in the NBA.cos

Not to mention with the Nets loading up they aren’t getting there in the next 4 years at least.
