Hell, look what he is doing at Ole Miss this year!  15-2. With 9 new players, I believe.  I love that he Had Bob Knight on his shirt last night during the game.  Not sure if he has been doing it since he died or not, but a cool gesture for the greatest to ever coach!

There is more to this job than winning. I am embarrassed as a long time IU fan that any fan would ever want Chris Beard as our coach. He is a women beater and an alcoholic

Can we stop calling people liars tonight please.

There is a lot of class in this place. Maybe it’s just me. I’m the problem.

Still waiting on your response bud

 

It’s the same response I gave an hour ago. Stevens wasn’t elevated until June 2nd and had zero bearing on some smoke screen IU offer 3 months earlier. Ainge was outed after the Celtics choked in the first round of the playoffs well after the fact.

Rabjohns said there was interest today from the last search. Good day

I’m not sure if that was supposed to be funny or not. Rabjohns? Really?

And you think these moves just happen over night? 3 months sounds like about the right timeline for something like this to happen. Losing early in the playoffs just seals the deal on what they already understood was an option for them. The timing of when things are made public do not = the timing of when conversations are had behind closed doors. 

Honestly its just funny how you come in disparaging someone who has been around here a lot longer than you and contributes way more to the board than you do, acting like you're some omnipotent being. It's entertaining really.

Isiah was helping with the search & after the Steven’s flip he & Buckner talked Dolson into giving Woodson a chance. We didn’t need the donor’s money for Woody.

As a Knicks fan I can say that you never want Isiah in the administrative process. OOOOOOOF the pain.

Your wonder boy insider just said that Stevens took IU’s contract to Ainge and that Ainge persuaded him to stay because he was retiring and was going to name him his successor. Ainge had no idea he was being outed in mid-March when these supposed contract negotiations went down and thus the plans to name him successor literally never would have taken place.

This is what happens when you continue to lose at the rate IU uis going. Win and all this info never gets talked about. Unfortunately we keep having to go through this again and again.

Lol; you are not and never will be the problem.

We all love IU to death and sometimes people get salty!

But it’s all because we all love IU.

I’m not acting like some omnipotent being…but I’ll call out BS when I see it.

Scotty did you mean to post this on the other board? 

Nope, he comes on here all time and has been wrong so many times. I just don't believe he has any inside info and he just wants to look like bigger than he is.  I believe people who actually know and has talked to Brad over the years who said he has no interest in coaching college basketball again.

Stevens takes IU contract to Ainge, says he's thinking of taking it. Ainge makes ownership aware. Ownership decides to oust Ainge for Stevens based on this info when they flame out in 1st round of playoffs. Or, Chris who admittedly does not follow the NBA so closely, mistakenly assumed Stevens brought the offer to Ainge when Stevens could very well have gone through other channels. 

Yes you are acting omnipotent because you leave zero room for opposing view. You won't just agree to disagree.

Instead you just do whatever it is that you think you do (shout repetitively into the void?), while most other people chuckle.

Was there actually proof that Stevens was actually offered or showed any interest at all. The only place I saw anything was on message boards by so called insiders.

Has it occurred to you that maybe some insiders on a message have accurate information? There are insiders, even on this board, who would never disclose their information out of respect for people who told them. Just a thought.  You don’t know who you’re talking to on the other side of the computer…they actually may know stuff.

Brad Stevens was done with college the second he left for Boston.

Steve Forbes, Greg McDermott, Ed Cooley would be under the radar coaches I think would do well at IU.

If Brad wanted to coach IU he would have accepted the job and said thank you to the Celtics after the fact. You don’t have to believe everything you read on the internet Jersey.

Nah, it's just the usual. Indy is being a condescending a$$ and Scotty is confused about what website he's on again.

How am I confused I have been on this board for a long time. I had to change my user name because I forgot my pass word so I was under another user name for a few years.

I most likely have been a fan longer than you and I don’t support hitting women but alcoholism is disease that probably contributed to it.  He made a mistake because he’s sick, but that was then and this is now.  It appears he’s not that same person and people should have a 2nd chance.  I would welcome him as our new coach if Dolson and company decides to go a different direction and hire him.  IMO, he is a darn good coach.
