No, IU media and journalists reported the facts.

Oh, well if media and journalists said it, then it must be true!!

You’re adding up pretty much nothing in terms of decisions Scott has been allowed to make for bball.  He wanted to get rid of Woody last year, that was a good call.  Overruled though.

And you’re just going to ignore football?

I’m not ignoring football, but he’s not hiring a football coach. Everything basketball-related has been a disaster during his tenure. He’s got good PR with the “I wasn’t allowed to do my job” stuff, but at the end of the day, he’s the AD. The buck stops with him. The “they didn’t let me do my job” stuff just tells me he’s a yes men who’s afraid to make waves.

Brother, I’ve had a blast sh!tposting on here for Brad the last few days. It was always a long shot. Everyone knew that. Being gleeful that people who got their hopes up and are disappointed is weird - this is a message board for fanatics who are gonna have all sorts of opinions / hopes you find silly. The discourse on this message board is completely meaningless. I’m glad we can all move onto discussing real candidates now. Sorry you guys had to put up with people being slightly hopeful even if naive for a few days lol.

All good my friend just making light of an all encompassing topic. I’ve been shot down by my choice of our new coach, by other posters who don’t seem to have the same beliefs as free, unfettered discussion. Book naming for Stevens could be endless. Peace!

I’m reading the tea leaves from Yeags and assuming it is and was Mark Few the entire time. 
 

I will not be taking questions at this time, please respect my decision. 

Few is defintely “our guy”.  I’ll fill you all in on the details after I find my keyboard.

Trilly also said to “move on to other candidates”

Yeah, in the same sentence he mentioned now this is confusing to him as well. I took it as more of a “maybe it happens but probably best not to get your hopes up any more”. Nothing definitive. When he starts getting wind of other candidates, you’ll know it’s done with Brad. I’m moving on. Enough with Brad Stevens. He doesn’t want us, fine. Enjoy the Dunkin, Brad.

I know so many insiders said that Quinn Buckner forced Woody on Dolson, but they also said that Stevens was happening.

I believe nothing about the Quinn story too.

Dolson hired Woody.  He better get this one right or he's done in my eyes

That's been reported by reputable IU people other than here though. Otherwise I would agree.

Exactly.  He's got an amazing PR crew and lots of message board stans who tell us how great he is and nothing is his fault. So he HAS to get this hire right

What’s everyone think about Steve Alford? I think he’s gettable.

This is the same report as before. 

Sorry, it’s not easy sifting through all these posts.  I was just hoping it was new info!  Sorry

….my guess is a couple things.

1. Real smoke screen 

2. Chris, AP, Jerry are all trying to find out what is really happening and post some sort of news later on. (Crickets right now)

3. They have been told by their sources to “shut up” and say nothing more because things were getting out too much, too soon.

4. If 3 is true, they may be telling them to play the smokescreen card too so it doesn’t get out of hand. (Crickets right now)

5. Chris, Jerry and AP were all fed smokescreens early on to think it’s Brad and really someone else.

JMO 
GO IU!

 

Haha yes and let’s give Chris some grace since he did mention his Valentine’s Day date is the IU game with his wife :-) 

[realTomCrean 2,009]

Last time I logged in we were docu signing an updated contract to Stevens and now he’s out. Darn it, what happened!

We’ve been through this.  I don’t get why people think a new AD was going to overrule the Chairman of the Board of Trustees and our biggest donor.  They can stop the AD from hiring who he wants and cut off our NIL/donations.  Scott could have made a wave… and they would have ended his career and still hired Woody.

He lived to fight another day and now he has power.  This hire is all on him and he should get all the blame or credit.

He’s also for-gettable.  Pass :)

[coonhounds 10,079]

You’ve been here longer than me and honestly should know better than to believe the Stevens rumors at this point.

Yes you are right! I have to believe i have nothing left! Put me in the looney bin. I will say Chris and others have been right on stuff. I just don't want people chastised for sharing info.
