Correct, it very well could. But a game tonight doesn’t discredit that it “could” be him.

He could have met with his son earlier for lunch or even dinner last night, depending on when the team arrived. Hell, I heard a rumor that the Stevens and Shrewsberry’s had dinner last night.


Also, the portal opens the 17th or 24th or something. Anyways, if he did take the job, he would have to get a place here I believe, then get a staff, talk to current players, get a feel for them and then get all ready and ramped for portal. So wouldn’t want to wait till last minute.

Am I saying Brad is coming? No
Can we say he isn’t? No
Is it crazy rumor season? Hell yeah

Could Brad be on the flight.. absolutely

it’s just that once it was known that Boston college was hosting Notre dame tonight it became a lot less likely in my opinion.

Speak for yourself. I need this thing to get over so I can get Josh’s ugly mug off my profile picture. 

Isn't that Oladipo?

I got confused after a couple few beers during the game last night.  I saw my face and assumed I made the post

I didn’t have intentions of having that game on the main TV but this is coach searching season so I got to suck it up and watch this one on the main.  I will keep you posted

If someone gave me a way to guarantee Dusty May to IU at the price of elimination of the ‘Brad Stevens maybe’ and all other candidates. I’d sign for that instantly and be the happiest ******* Hoosier there ever been.

Agreed man.  I know everyone is over the top strong opinions because of where we are and have been as a program.  There are home runs, and then there is Brad Stevens.  But once you move past the white whale, I legit think there are 2-3 coaches attainable in this cycle that could be home runs.  A couple other times we have been in this spot over the last 25 years the options were just sad.  If they let Dolson make this call without the usual voices drowning others out?  I have full confidence he gets this right.  Rinse and repeat what all we have said over the last 5-6 hiring cycles, but I just feel better because I feel very good money is not an issue in either NIL or the next Coach.  The next Coach will be coming into a top 3 NIL budget.  That I know is lined up.  We all need to collectively thank the work Cignetti has done to raise the profile of our AD.  He usually can get what he asks for right now money wise.

Checking in is Stevens the coach yet?

We’ve decided to go with Bobby Knights ghost. He seems like a real winner. He doesn’t know you can have a meeting in Miami in the afternoon and still be in Boston by 9. Hahaha

 Not really funny.   IU has stunk for 4 years under Woody so people were checked out.   Bring in a coaching search and the best message for IU fans to talk about IU things(and all of college basketball) is BTBanners.   Last coaching cycle we had an influx of new posters from a different board (you were one of them no?) and new sign ups.    This place was the place to be during the last search.    Fast forward 4 years and it looks like another influx of new posters from different message boards have found the hot spot.   And we here at BTBanners welcome them all 

That's why I'm here, to talk about the coaching change.  BTW, I didn't know who the mods were on this site.  I don't pay that much attention to who is posting.  I did think Scotty R was a mod because he seemed  unhappy with some of us.  No offense Scotty,  I just thought you were trying to keep us in line.  The banter here is top notch, and I've learned so much too.

I would say Brad misses most of his son’s games. There is just no reason this meeting would be tonight when college basketball season has 6 weeks left. I would think this meeting could happen at a later date when brads son isn’t in town.

The meeting easily could have happened earlier today and him still make it back in time for the game. We’re talking private planes here. He’s not waiting for a departure time.

You’re not watching that one for the game.  You got that one on hoping they pan the camera over to the sidelines for Mrs Arkansas St.    how about the fall from grace for Curbelo.   Dude started for Illinois a couple years back and everyone thought he was the next super star…….and now he plays for So Miss

It’s a great group of guys and girls.  We are all at various stages in our grief with our fandom.  I am one of the worst copers on this board for where we are.  But once you get past jerks like me, the convos are top notch year round.  Hope you enjoy yourself while you are around!

Whatever time is going to get you to drop it.  They get it.  You don’t believe it happened.  That’s cool.  People on here are still going to talk about it and track flights even if it’s proven false.  It’s a free message board and they got 5 weeks to go

I couldn’t have been more wrong on a player than him.  You wouldn’t have told me any differently a couple of years ago.  I could have swore that dude would be All B1G by the time he was a Junior.  Not playing at So Miss.

Just asking a question.

A question like that only makes sense in our limited linear conception of time. We must expand our understanding.

Right? Not allowed to ask questions around here that may help to determine if a timeline is possible…
