It was described to me as last time we knocked on the door and no on answered. This time we knocked, not only was it answered but they invited us in. Doesn’t mean he’s our next coach. With the season he’s having, it’s worth his time to listen. He could come back to coaching 36 games a season instead of 82 and make the same amount of money.

Bring him home Scott! This is the best chance for Stevens to IU. Let’s hope

I think he has the blessing to go big, go all in or whatever we want to call it

I realize Stevens is a long shot but I’m trying to game out how he’d end up an option this cycle. By all accounts the Celts’ owner and GM genuinely want him around despite their struggles this year, which leaves two paths, the first more likely:

1. He coaches the rest of the season and leaves thereafter. Celts are 5th in the East; 4th and 11th are separated by 3 games total. If you assume the Bulls (11th) sell some vets to bolster their future, the top ten is pretty set. The NBA is bringing back the play-in tourney for seeds 7-10, which will be over May 21. If the Celtics slip to 7th or lower, they could be done then. (It’s possible but more likely in my book that they finish above that but don’t survive the first round.)

2. He leaves midseason. It would be basically unprecedented for him to do so explicitly to take a college job, but if he wants the job I wonder if they’d use a losing streak or something as a mutually agreed-upon reason to ease him out.

Feels rare for a change in May/June as #1 above would be, but if he’s your man then you absolutely do it. I just wonder if at that point it would be more likely you stick with Miller another year with an established understanding with Stevens that it’s his job thereafter. (Of course we’d prefer sooner.)

I wonder what Scott is up to today.

You do it as soon as Brad wants to this summer. He’s your coach for the next 25 years. Do whatever he wants 

[lillurk]

Celtics have five games the last eight days of this month, if things go poorly before then that’s when you could imagine the sort of mutual “we need a new voice to salvage the season even though we love Brad” choice (especially if he’d like out).

I was downtown a lot today. Didn’t see him once. Although there’s a lot of space to cover..

Oh totally — it’s just not typical! Reminds me a little of the Matta separation timing at OSU.

I know I’m getting ahead of myself. I feel it’s going to happen this time. If I’m wrong, so be it. I feel IU is finally going to get the Golden Boy

Ok first off I don’t want to pretend I’m like a source guy or anything so if this is faulty my apologies..... but I heard from my friend (who works in the SEC conference) that Archie’s job is indeed in jeopardy because someone called about Alabama’s head coach.  That’s all I know and I won’t answer pms about it because that’s all I know!

 

Gaaaaaawd if you take this out of proportions so help me........  

I think they called the wrong number and meant to call for Georgia’s coach

Does he have the blessing to go Fife?  Not that he is in my top 5 even but if we cannot catch the big ones can we go with Fife or would they stay with Arch

Another fun time..  talk of Brad Stevens and we'll end up with Fife.  The administration will do IU administration things and we'll get back to this point in a few years.  Fun times to be an IU fan.

Wouldn't be the first time an IU coach was connected to New Mexico. 

or the second time...

This is starting to become deja Billy D.   Some of you better start upping your daily HCT dosage or I'm gonna get worried about you.

Romeo indeed committed to IU?
