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

In all seriousness, based on our lack of involvement with AAU basketball last year I can't fathom there are very many pro Woodson coaches out there.   Our overall level of HS recruiting has been abysmal under Woodson.

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.  

Trilly really isn't known to be a 'mixed bag'.  Waaaayyyyy more accurate than inaccurate.  Probably could count on one hand the number of times he's been wrong -- and usually he wasn't wrong about information, just things changed after that information occurred.

Following orders...interesting thought.  So Stevens told him to help ease the tension around the state by giving the AAU coaches some info to appease them for the time being. 

Sounds reasonable to me. In the last few days, Dolson has scheduled games, spoken to AAU coaches, and talked about hiring a couple of GM positions. Boy he has really thought of a lot since retiring Woodson

The courteous thing to do.

And the professional thing to do, unless you’re short-sighted and into burning bridges.

I don't like the sound of "orders" if you mean those are coming from people at IU.  Orders from Brad are fine.

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

Even if Brad declines, I really trust Scott and I'm very happy we have him.  I'm confident he is competently doing everything he can to get IUBB back to the top of the CBB world.

Don’t know Trilly and not directed at him, but the things changed after new information is what they all say, it’s a cop out . No doubt that will be said here when the fantasy BS thing “falls through”

I don't think anyone was putting pressure on anyone.

Did you give your last employer a two-week notice?

Heck, we gave Mike Woodson a four-week notice.

If brads committed to the point where he’s trying to influence aau coaches of something then not just tell them we’ve “got our guy” it will be two weeks?

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

Yes, I live my life not believing every rumor I hear from anonymous sources on the internet. It hasn’t hurt me yet. This is an exact repeat of four years ago. If it ends differently and we actually get Brad Stevens? Great! We’ll all be happy. But if it ends the same way, hopefully that’ll be the end to the Stevens rumors and people can finally move on.

Because it's not at that point yet IMO. We can't get ahead of ourselves like we did last time. We just have to finish better this time.

Can we get a Brad Stevens Almost Coach of IU thread
