I actually 100% agree with this.  Stevens or a rep told Goodman what to print, which was deliberately concise.  I don’t think we land Stevens, but him making sure Goodman use this language is interesting. 

It’s either a legit rejection of the Indiana coaching position, letting us down easy this time. (certainly most likely)

Or it’s a soft denial, where the quote never mentions Indiana, and the “not a candidate” language is not directly attributed to Stevens.  This would be a simple deflection, that gets journalists off his scent, and would be easy to explain away later.

Again I don’t think he’s going to be our coach, but it’s certainly not a masshole press conference level denial.

Because he’s not having press conferences. He’s not coaching this time around. That’s why the Goodman report is significant. Brad put out a statement to say no thanks. It can’t get more clean than that

Today was very eventful, let’s see what tomorrow brings us in the IU Coach search season.

Stop it.

Brad Stevens is not coaching IU

They said those things in pressers with their back against the wall and no choice but to lie or they were sunk. Stevens texted Goodman when he didn’t have to say anything. Massive difference. 

I don’t understand why it’s hard to believe he’s not interested. He is effectively the chief executive at the best basketball club in the world, both right now and in history  
It’s so very clearly not happening. Can we please move on to discussing realistic options. 

So you 100% know and can prove that Brad texted that to Goodman and he had to respond.

Not saying it didn’t happen, because I don’t know anything, just wondering if that is 109% fact now ot all went down.

And yet again, I will say I don’t believe Brad is coming. I’m just not going to **** on another person if they want to continue their pain in believing it.

I agree here. So how do we know which it is? We watch and see what happens. If we start to hear about our interest in college coaches it will suggest we are moving on. Trilly had said there did not seem to be much activity on the college side but maybe that changes.

People expect the GM of the Celtics to call a formal press conference during his down week to more forcefully say he’s not taking some college job the message board crew is convinced about, because texting a reporter isn’t good enough.

If a donor is standing by the story that they gave money to get Brad, wouldn’t said donor know by now if Brad was asked and said no?

This board/thread will get a lot more interesting once everyone recognizes Chris/AP don’t know what they’re talking about. They get info (biased) from people who know people who MIGHT know people. If you honestly believed a sitting GM from the most famed basketball franchise in the free world was honestly going to give up his post in the middle of a potential repeat…shame on you. Shame on the people who fed you this nonsense for the last several weeks. 
 
Wreckless and irresponsible 

This is laughable....you are shaming people on a free message board. I can't tell if you're yelling or just giving that "disappointed dad" tone.

Just so everyone knows.

AH is Tyme and BKG is ScottDolsenBurner. The rest makes sense after that.

AH (Tyme; can act high and mighty but he was beginning to entertain that Stevens was a 5% possibility until todays news. He’ll be due for a Twitter refresh soon enough.

And BFG just hates the fanbase in general and could give a rats @$$ about the program succeeding.

Shaming?

These “insiders” are the most self-important people you’ll ever meet.

Disappointed? No. More like proving a point.

Gotta say, you crushed it in the username department. Welcome to BTB. It’s not always this stupid… sometimes it’s funny too

Even if the quote is not a direct denial, you just have to take what Stevens and Goodman say at face value until proven otherwise.  It may not be satisfying, but I think it’s pretty unlikely Stevens is our next coach.

[Hornsby]

I get it. He's a little odd. He isn't perfect and not my top choice. I just want to win. I'm tired of watching god awful basketball. If he's the "backup" I'm fine with that instead of an Archie Miller or Mike Woodson like hire. 

Cronin isn't incredible but if we miss on our top targets he is way way better than Woodson. Final four. Sweet sixeteens. And no nil they claim to speak of.

This is where I am. I had a text at 8:20 saying big donors were still throwing out confidence. If Brad told Scott, no thanks you need to look elsewhere. Then wouldn’t the message be relayed to those donors?

Once again. They have a track record of being right. You have nothing.

So quit attacking them when you yourself bring nothing to the table

Do you feel good now? Smarter than everyone else? Lol… is that what you’re going for? Do you want people to like you as much as Chris and Jerry? You come off jealous and bitter a lot when it comes to guys shooting the sh!t on a message board.

Dusty will deliver Crean results (maybe) and this fan base will run him off.

Wishful thinking on your part but comparing Crean’s 9 years to Mays last 3 doesn’t seem that way. Plus as your Buddy Woody knows, the Nil at Indiana is nice and sets you up for success assuming you spend it wisely. And I’d trust May or Crean to do ok with that.
