I understand everything just fine. The point is if things are actually going on that is being posted on here wouldn't you think that national college basketball media would be hearing the same thing.

You and my son would get along GREAT! Haha. He says the same stuff to me daily. :)

She is. I was trying to point out that there are plenty of people who think Stevens is an option. But that's just a little over Scotty's head

Every national.media guy and even local Indy.media people think we would call but think we are nuts if we think he is coming to IU

Heading to Mama Carollas's for dinner and by the time I get back home there will likely be several hundred posts to catch up on.  I'm up for it!

Nope. No one in the national media has the sources that the folks at Btown Banners have.

Aside from the explanations others have offered, the media folks have journalistic standards to meet before reporting something. Others can probably outline those better than I but usually they’d have to get 2 or more sources on background to print something.

And that’s setting aside their considerations about continuing relationships with sources. If you know something about a coaching search it doesn’t mean you can print it

Not necessarily.  We have a lot of dot connecting, second hand conversations and stuff.  Not the kind of stuff the media will get behind and actually report.  They probably "hear" the same stuff, but can't report it because they can't source it -- maybe they still have some credibility left.

IU wins out, hires Stevens, makes the 2nd weekend, sunny outside, Diet Coke in hand. A dream 

How’s that tan coming along.

And frankly, I’m surprised that you can sit still in one place to post here

Definitely not having as much fun as the folks in Btown Banners during the coaching search and that’s all I really give a crap about

You can explain that to Scotty till your blue in the face. I have seen numerous posters try to explain to him what message boards are but he never quite grasps it. He's been close

Also highly successful. I thought the question was about former players that are A-list coaches. But would agree with you wholeheartedly if it’s just folks in sports positions.

Yes, the Stevens stuff is message board rumors.  But, some of these rumors have truth in them.  Once again, this is the point of message boards -- to get early information even if it isn't perfect.  If that isn't your thing, just read the IndyStar or Herald-Times for the confirmed and final version of the story.

I mean really it fun to speculate and read these rumors. I just don't get why all the naysayers get so worked up.  Please sit back buckle up and enjoy the ride because no matter what we won't see this stupid look on the sidelines next year.
