The more random twitter users who feel good about Brad Stevens; the worse I feel about the chances to actually get him. Lol

According to one of them, they are tweeting it into existence hahaha

Haha I was mostly talking about the hashtags that are being created and tweets like this https://x.com/red_dead_fred/status/1889437026732175432?s=46

 

I actually find Bobby bags pretty reliable

Yeah, I guess his record is better than I remembered, I wouldn't call that 'crushing it.' Improvement for IU obviously, but I'm not convinced he's the best option on the court. Off the court is another issue. 

Someone already posted these numbers but now is a good chance to do so again: At a P4 schools, he's won 67.5% (179-86) overall but only 53.7% (73-63) in conference in 7 whole seasons and 2 partial seasons.

Of his complete seasons: Only 1 time did he finish with less than 7 losses in conference. Only once did he finish with single digit losses. 

It's just not as impressive of a resume as some make it seem. They look at only those 2 really good seasons at TT which he hasn't come close to replicating.

Some people will really be falling off big time if he turns us down again. Might want to keep your feet on the ground when you reach for those stars so you don't get hurt if you fall.

He crushed it at texas tech, texas, and now ole miss....

66-59 in conference games is not crushing it.

Appreciate your perspective from the end of the bench.  Hopefully you can slide up a few spots, keep those ears peeled and bring good updates.  

Appreciate it!!

We need the white whale.  I really want to change my avatar to someone good.  Archie and Woodson haven’t cut it.  We need Brad!

I don't really want him either but I don't take upon myself to morally judge others. So I just call out hypocrisy when I see. There is no way some of those who claim beard is the worst thing since the devil refused to support iu when knight was the coach. I bet they watched every game under knight. Throws chairs. Assauting cops. No big deal I guess. 

 

 University basketball coach Bobby Knight was charged with assaulting a police officer in Puerto Rico during the Pan American Games. He was tried in absentia and sentenced to six months in jail and a $500 fine.

I was a kid when these things happened, and by the time I was a teenager in the 90s and knew better, I was embarrassed by his actions. Emotionally intelligent adults can control their temper in public and not resort to violent actions. Helluva basketball coach, and did a lot of good in this world as well. He was a very complex individual. 

Chris Beard is 100% not Bob Knight as a basketball coach, and does not have his reputation for all the good Bob Knight did outside the game either. There are better options than a guy who probably beat the hell out of his girlfriend, has an alcohol problem, and is 66-59 in conference games.

That seems to be the common theme among the trusted insiders here.  I’m going to beat a dead horse with my comments on this situation.  IU and Stevens is just too much of a match not to happen.  I really think the dream pairing happens this time.

My biggest worry is the last time we didn’t get Brad, we got Woody….it’s like, it’s Brad or nobody! If not Brad this time, how bad could it be?

After @Uspshoosier post, I went back and looked at Cronin's coaching history.  While I would not put him at the top of my list, I certainly came back more impressed than I initially was.  He was one I did actually put a yes on, even though he was a tepid one. 

This is where I am with Cronin. He's probably Underwood, Painter, Ryan as far as success. I want banner 6, but we can and have done a lot worse. Hopefully we land Stevens, though.

[IUHAHN81 3,221]

I send my son screenshots of pro Brad stuff from here and he's always like, STFU DAD, IM NOT BUYING INTO IT!" Moral of the story is, we don't speak anymore because of Brad Stevens. This is on YOU Brad! You didn't wreck the program, you wrecked my FAMILY!

Well, it won’t be bad as last time.  Woodson was such a stupid choice for coach.  I still can’t fathom it to this day.  If, God forbid, IU doesn’t get Stevens, the backup plan will be there.

[Kentuckysucks 3,842]

Imagine if we had hired this guy 20 years ago like we should have.  He would’ve absolutely crushed it here.  Ship has clearly sailed.

Note to self :
Double check the number you are about to dial before you go on a rant about sports

If we don't get a big name i am for a interim coach until we get a home run to say yes. It's huge for the future at this point.

Cronin and Buzz Williams are top of the WTF hires to me. They will win enough not to get fired but not take us where we want to be. Those hires are for schools that want to win some in Basketball but not really compete for anything. If you can't get Stevens, May, or we aren't touching Beard, I would rather go for an up and comer like McCollum. At least there may be a higher ceiling.

I'm just quoting you because I want it said again.

Buzz and Cronin NO!
