[Josh]

It's time to hire a college coach with a 72% win percentage, Final Four experience, multiple conference championships.  Gregg Marshall come on down!

Beard is the man!

I mean, he’s not going to come out and say that he’s considering the job.

People *constantly* profess to have insider information and mislead literally hundreds or thousands of people for either kicks (Isaac) or to score weird internet cred (Chris), and *I’m* the bad guy for pointing it out??

Can’t say much for isaac because of lack of knowledge. But chris has been very open about things when he posts them and that he will never say something with 100% certainty.  
you’re the *bad guy* for getting some type of joy out of this. It’s a FREE message board that you CHOOSE to participate/ be on. You have zero obligation to be on this FREE site. Not like they’re spewing stuff while also charging people money. I’ll gladly take the timeout from the mods to call you out for being a cancer to this forum.

It's not any poster's fault that people overreact to them sharing what they're hearing. It could be from some rando janitor. 

If people get overly excited about an anonymous guy posting something he heard, that's their own fault.

Welcome to the internet. 

People are aware of their track records and can make their own judgements on what to trust or not. We're fanatics on a message board, we're going to post and talk about all kinds of ridiculous **** particularly because our basketball team blows right now. 

Dogpiling on people for being "wrong" is lame.

Saying “I think it’ll be Stevens” and it not being Stevens is *wrong*. 
 

Saying Stevens is a done deal when it was never even remotely close to happening isn’t *wrong*, it’s lying. To a lot of people. Why defend that?

This is the same report as before.

Until IU hires a coach that is not stevens they are technically not wrong

People dismissing actual media with credibility reporting something and hanging on to every word a random internet poster is honestly pathetic.  I'd be embarrassed if that was you. 

Coming in hot.   Welcome to BT Banners.  Starting off great for your first post in a new place

Stevens may not be coming, but that “quote” is not definitive in any way. Also, Goodman has an agenda.

To recap: I say multiple times that I’m not guessing about the fact that it won’t be Stevens. I call out the guys who were claiming to have sources about Stevens being a done deal.  Stevens ends the speculation very early. I point out that they were obviously wrong. 
 

And I’m the bad guy. Got it.

Trust the plan.  

[Pagoda]

I know that Goodman quote is inconclusive, but for what it is worth the person I know in media says Brad is sadly a clear “no.”  

C’mon Dusty!

That was you guy 8 years ago if I’m remembering right.   Wonder what he has been up to lately.  I haven’t seen any news on him

Guess I don't take their word as gospel in the first place so it doesn't upset me much when they're wrong and thus I don't feel the need to attack them, lol. Do find those antagonizing posts annoying and worth pushing back on, because this is the internet, nothing posted here actually matters. It's like the same 150 dudes on here and some lurkers. We're just having fun.

"Boo Hoo, Chris and Jerry were wrong AGAIN! Ugh. Why does everyone like them but not ME!!!"

If you wanna be a good guy here, just say you have a source and follow that with random made up info that is positive about Brad Stevens. Instant hero here…

He turned down OSU before they hired Holtmann

No but if he makes another atrocious hire then he deserves blame for thirsting after Brad to the detriment of other candidates. If you swing for the fences you better not strike out. 

How do you see that a detriment to the other candidates? Other than the hypothetical that a guy has bad feels that they wanted Brad over him there is none. And you can't honestly think that candidate that wants the job would be that butt hurt do you?

I have no other info at this time and won’t claim to.
