Just listened to Osterman on the radio and they asked him what % would you give that Brad Stevens will be the coach. He said around 5%, so I guess he didn't hear about the meeting in Miami LOL!

This is me just trying to think out of the box on that….isnt Osterman Dolson’s mouthpiece? If so, I could see Dolson telling Osterman to make it sound like Brad isn’t a possibility just to help keep it quiet. I certainly realize that could be inaccurate…just another way to look at things.

Obviously, the only real way to determine if Scott went to Miami to interview BS will be to see if he has a sunburn Friday night at the UCLA game. If he's sitting at the scorers table sunburnt, wearing a flower shirt and drinking a pina colada then I might start to believe. 

"If you like Pina colada.. getting bugged (by Chris) at the game."....

Yeah, plenty of other candidate available.  Heck, we could have had Dusty before he was Dusty.  Buckner pulled a fast one and should be held accountable.  

The timing was perfect for quinn. 30 million dollars later and here we are

Not to get us off topic....but how crazy is it that some people look down on Dusty and he's now sitting in sole possession of first in the B1G in year one. Watching Wolf last year I would have never believed it if you told me how UM would use him. Basketball genius.

I’m here for Dusty or Pearl.

Is this a hint that Ted Lasso is our new coach?

Is he bringing Rebecca with him. Then I'm in all the way.

[Hornsby 2,972]

Which means he really believes it's zero, but has to say 5% just in case it somehow happened

Bozich says 0% chance. Our insiders say numbers have been discussed. Somebody will be dead wrong.

Given when (Rick) Bozich went to IU and the fact that he had the Woodson hire first, I would not be shocked if many of his contacts are Woody’s contemporaries. Make of that what you will.

My version of things. Scott & Quinn wanted to move on from Archie, Scott because of Brad, Quinn because of Mike. They raised the buyout with the knowing that Scott got the first swing, if that didn't work out Woodson was the guy. Brad said no, Isaah, Quinn, Ferguason, and Scott all flew to White Plains to give Mike the job. Scott tried to push for Matta but no way he was getting that past Quinn. 

That’s pretty much how it was described to me by someone who also added a “prologue” by saying that Woodson might have been led to believe 4 years earlier that the job would be his when Crean was fired. Either led to believe that by Glass himself or by someone else. But it ended up being Archie instead.

I think he is full of it and doesn't know dork. I want to see him with egg on his face.

I'm sitting close to Scott Friday night so I'll report back. If he has a farmers tan then I know he was at the beach

If he has a computer bag or briefcase maybe drop an Airtag in there?  Just kidding… kinda…

Who is right if we have joint custody of Brad Stevens with the Celtics  ?

If Doug Gottlieb can do two jobs at once and be terrible at both of them, surely Brad Stevens can do two jobs at once and be great at both of them. 

Being the antithesis of Doug Gottlieb comes naturally to him.

1. Rick Bozich or Alex Bozich?

2. When did they say this?

3. Do you have a link to exactly what they said?

[Hornsby 2,972]

My guess 8s if stevens is a no we end up with Cronin or Buzz Williams. May will likely be tough to get and of course iu would never touch pearl and certainly not beard.

God I hope we never go down this road again. Give a guy a job simply because he played at the school

I think the only difference between your account and mine is that Scott only got one swing at the plate. It’s my belief that Scott was given the opportunity to find his guy and was unable to after a significant amount of time which opened the door for Quin to get it done.

do you recall the date/how long after Archie was fired that Quin flew out to offer Woodson? I believe it was quite a bit after which supports the account that Dolson was given ample time to deliver before plan ZZ was enacted

Looks like we fired Archie on Mar 15.  Brad Stevens says he is a "masshole" on Mar 19.  We hire Woody on Mar 28.  So that may support your theory but I just looked back at a text with a friend of mine who is Woody's relative.  This relative was prominantly sitting behind the bench often, so often i would usually give him a hard time about what he wore lol.  That text was on Mar 23 and I asked if Woody was coming to IU.  He said he thought it was a done deal but some surprise "deal" with Matta came up and everyone is upset.  

So, from 3/19 to 3/23 seems to be the window here even though the deal was finalized on 3/28.

Numbers could have been discussed, that doesn’t mean anything. They were discussed last time too

Hey @Hornsby

You are continuing to post but did not answer any of this. Rick and Alex Bozich are reasonably connected and I'm wondering if they went on record stating that Stevens was literally a zero % chance.

Soooo?
