Here's to hoping the new Celtics owner hates people from Indiana and tells Brad to kick rocks!

I don’t think there is as much support for Stevens as some here believe. Our man should be a college basketball coach

Support from who?

Don’t know who the new coach will be or how soon he’ll be announced.

What I do know is… there will be a process!

Thanks, Kathy!

Remember when Stevens called into local Boston sports radio show saying he’s not interested in the Indiana job but was flattered?

That was a horrible day.

Those people are what we like to call “wrong”.

And that's why it is so painful to have such a horrible coach on the sidelines right now. 

What the program could be vs what it is right now.

Interested to hear more about this, and how the relationship and approach is different than 4 years ago.

Scott asked him last March if he was ready. He said not until they won the championship or had to break up the team. They won.

Just kept talking to him, his family, his dad who played football at IU. Stayed in touch as a friend. Then picked back up the conversation around Thanksgiving all the way up to now. He wanted some assurances about NIL, which we gave. Plus a 10 year deal means their set up for future.

I just hope that those in charge of the hiring process are more concerned with finding a great coach and realize we need a coach not a Reverend or a choir boy! Of course if he is a great coach and a choir boy, I have no problem with that!

Brad coming home easily. I know most don’t believe this but Scott started cultivating this relationship with Brad last March. Doesn’t mean we’ll get him but letting him handle this gives us a really good chance.

I can believe it!

Please welcome Brad to this thread..he will accept all praise, worship, seances,  genuflection, or idolatry as tribute to land our man at IU.. He tells me 10 years/100 million is enticing..

but has to be approved by Kathy of course...

Alright folks, Woodson gone. Any Billy Donavan or Brad Steven’s sightings on Kirkwood yet?

Now it just needs to come to fruition.

I can see Celtics fans being upset over a coach or player leaving, but I find it hard to believe they would lose much sleep over someone from upper management leaving to coach a college team!
