Let me say the EXACT same thing in a different way:

Cronin’s team won the game.

Pretty low bar beating a Woodson team tho

I had a Valentine’s dinner with my wife then went to the game with my family. Not sure what’s going on. Last I was told there was a verbal with Brad guaranteeing he would sign since we met his counter offer. I was told he didn’t want to sign this weekend due to the all-star game. The contract was written up, signed by the trustees and sent to Brad. I can explain in more detail later. If I let you down it’s my fault. I’m going to try to get answers this weekend. Love is still in the air. 

No need to be saying anything is your fault.  You have stood true around here  thru good and bad.  That is all anyone can ask.  You have shared what you have heard and nothing is on you, no matter what happens. The majority of us around here appreciate everything you and the rest of the insider gang does.  If things do not work out as we all hoped there is nothing on  you and you have not let anyone down.  

Glad you had a good night with your family!  Don't let anyone around here get you down or give you a hard time!

True. But imagine the shame of losing to a Woodson team (Whizzo?)

Cronin refused to talk about the IU job

Thanks for the insight Chris, while I’m not a big believer in Brad coming here, it could be anything from he changed his mind or it’s calm down the rumors. Just my 2 cents.

What did he counter with, if we were already willing to make him the highest paid cbb coach? Holy $hit!

Yes on the top of the list but if we strike out he isn't a bad option. His resume is pretty good

This program is in an incredibly dire need of major boost. My opinion is a candidate like Cronin doesn’t even come close to providing that shot of energy and enthusiasm.

Beats me

10;54pm Rabby said there are still some out there that believe he’s still in play. Not saying he is or isn’t just relaying information.

Chris,

appreciate the update.  But you took a Celibacy truse until Brad signs on the dotted line. Don’t have too much fun tonight.

Out of curiosity, What does All Star weekend have to do with Brad Stevens and him taking another job? If anything, it would give his front office some time to get their house in order and promote an interim replacement.

Showed up late and left as soon as the buzzer sounded without talking to anyone. Ned was really happy along with Andy Mohr and the Simon’s

Maybe the guy knows deep down he just doesn’t have the passion needed to coach at Indiana? If rumors are true and he was offered nearly $100M to coach at IU and he didn’t jump at the chance, I wouldn’t want him. I want someone that really wants the job and is excited for the opportunity!

For what we'd have to pay to get Cronin, we'd be better off aiming higher. 

We are aiming higher I think. I think he is a if we strike out hire guy. I'd take him over bronwell in a second.

I don’t know. Last time I asked if he had signed was 3:30 and was told we were sending it to him but he wasn’t going to worry about it till Monday

I'm saying if we strike out on stevens, may, few, etc. He is 2nd tier.

So maybe this Goodman info tonight was a smokescreen to get past the weekend?
