Every time I see this it reminds me of Brad's elementary school pic.

I know I’m repeating what others have said, but I can’t imagine for one second that Dolson would talk to AAU coaches without:

A. Being extremely confident that the Stevens thing is a done deal.
B. Stevens knowledge/approval/direction

He isn’t stupid and it makes no sense to do it without both points A & B being in place.

The scheduling thing is also interesting to me because I asked a ways back how many people thought Stevens had a good working knowledge of IU’s roster and no one really responded. Getting games scheduled without a confirmed head coach indicates that we do have someone we expect and they seem to have a pretty good grip on what the program needs, what our personnel could look like,  and on the college landscape in general.

I would think (and I could be wayyy off base) that Brad Stevens said to Scott here is my list of things I want done if you want me to accept: 1. Beef up the non conference schedule 2. Talk to AAU coaches that bridges have been burned 3. Give me the GM I want and any assistant GM’s I want to bring on. I’m sure more things will come down the pipeline as the days go on and it will all lead to things Brad required. If he doesn’t accept then it’s ok because those things needed fixed anyways.

If you synthesize a few pieces of the info you can imagine that part of the point of the two weeks is negotiating, not simply “take this time to decide.”

So you tell your candidate we’ll do ANYTHING, stay in touch, but then you ALSO start doing the things he’s already mentioned:

1. In-region neutral site game vs. a good program: United Center vs. Marquette

2. Another high major home game: maybe that’s the Kansas State rumor? Haven’t seen anything about game site.

3. He says HS recruiting will be important, so you tell the regional AAU programs (and maybe HS coaches) that whoever’s next will want to rebuild the deteriorated relationships.

4. Maybe he has ideas about program admin structure, so you say we’ll hire a GM, let me go raise $ for the job. He wants some additional non-coaching staffers, yes, we have the money for that.

etc.

Some seem to be. I'll believe it when it's announced.

Assuming the "non-college coach" is referring to Stevens then obviously talks and negotiations have been happening.

Since we were in Miami yesterday maybe they were interviewing Pat Riley or Eric Spolstra

Mine is showing that we're on page 1004. 

On my laptop which is my go to I show we're now on 1017.  No idea why such a difference.  You'd think one of those useless mods could explain this!  :-D

Not the ghost of Bob Knight.

Yeah, right,. Now you're just making stuff up. Next you'll be telling us that your name isn't actually RaceToTheTop.

Page counts vary because you can change how many posts show up per page in account settings.

Which means I can celebrate each 100 page increase earlier than the rest of the rabble because I'm loading fewer posts/page.  So there.

I looked through my setting everywhere I can think to look and didn't see this as a setting anywhere?  Maybe bc you're a mod?

I thought maybe there's a poster we've all blocked somewhere that others haven't!

I’m not on here a ton but this doesn’t get enough discussion (unless I don’t know where to look).  IMHO he has to be a key source to our shooting woes

 

Oh it's been mentioned numerous times over the years, but not in one specific place.  Kind of like how it's getting mentioned today, then everyone starts giving their opinions on how Cliff has ruined IU's shooting.

with incomplete information, yes. 

[lillurk 5,192]

The Clif Marshall thing has been debated ad nauseum but at this point it’s moot: the next coach will decide on a strength coach, whether Clif or Other, with more info and expertise than basically all of us.

So….old farts are magnified by 100 so he can read them? Probably only has 4 posts per page?

Not nice to pick on us the seniors.

[iubb 4,973]

Can we hire Clifford the big Red dog as strength coach?
