So this alleged Dolson comments were reported by Trilly?

Trilly is knows as a mixed bag of something or other.  Kind of throws stuff out...sometime it seems just to get clicks? 

I don't think an unverified rumor has legs.

It is plausible, though. 

I am not giving it any weight until Kathy with a C or Barrel Rick says so.  

I know the end of your post is a joke.  But not sure if the beginning is.  I don't think Trilly has ever thrown anything random out just for clicks.  He's been wrong before, but everything he posts he has a source for.

Mr Stevens is announced minority owner of the Celtics is what I’m afraid is going to happen. 

While this is certainly possible, and has happened for elite executive people in the past (Theo Epstein and Billy Beane) it’s pretty rare. Given the team is selling. Current owners looking to sell 51%. I can’t imagine them wanting to sell majority stake and then give a couple % of their leftover to Brad. On the flip side, the new owner isn’t going to give a couple % to Brad and lose majority ownership.

We “had our guy” last time too and then ended up with Mike Freaking Woodson… I really hope Dolson actually has other guys lined up this time. Otherwise, come on down Coach Randy. We’ll become one last multi-million dollar payday for retirement age former Hoosiers. 

Come on man, there is no way it ends up with another Woody.  No way.  I am 1000% confident that Dolson has other guys he will talk to if Stevens falls through.   We may not get who we really want, but it will not be another version of Woody.

I don't think it gets past Dusty...but if for some reason it does...go slap a moral clause and get Beard. We don't have to go from option B to F. Simply my 2 cents. 

I agree with this!  At least if BS turns us down and Dusty accepts the new contract, having Beard or possibly Drew as option C is a heck of a lot better than we could hope, it’ll never get to option F IMO

Some say you're slow but I say you’re right on time. Just kidding but I like your point of view

Dolson spends the past 11 months working on Stevens. Offer on the table with 2 weeks to decide. Call with AAU coaches which he knew would leak, maybe putting “friendly” pressure out there to see how Stevens reacts. How he reacts probably can tell Dolson a lot about how to prioritize over the next few weeks.

UK, UL, and UM didn't look at Beard in their processes.  We won't, UNC won't... every big brand program or school has the same issues when it comes to hiring him.

To me it sounds like we likely have a verbal agreement and this 2 weeks is to review the contract for other terms that perhaps have not yet been discussed but are not the big ones.  I am not sure why else Scott would hint at basically one candidate unless in his mind there are multiple logical non college options.  I would not discuss or suggest much unless "Scott got his man" and they are just negotiating small things.

I like the way you think. We just need to stay positive and carry this across the finish line

How did Jay Wright attract enough athletes to win multiple titles, playing so slow? 
 

Also, I’ve got some bad news about some of those Brad Stevens teams…

Neither Wright nor Stevens' teams were 364th (dead last, by a significant amount) in tempo, like McCollum's is.  Stevens' teams that went to the title game were 286 and 262.  Villanova's title team was 150th.

I’ll believe Scott Dolson can hire a great basketball coach when he actually goes out and does it. Everything basketball-related decision during his tenure has been a disaster.

Some of you guys probably tell your kids Santa Claus isn’t real either. Lol

I am not speaking for anyone else, but we’ve been here before and then ended up with freaking Mediocre Mike!  We don’t want history repeating itself.  So until it’s official many of us maybe a little skeptical.

Some people you just can't help. That's just how they live their life

Maybe these are pro Woodson coaches who he doesn’t want to lose as a pipeline.

Do those exist?

He wasn't putting any pressure on him. Some would say he was following orders
