General Coach Candidate News

Why Goodman?

Why today?

Why just a quote he could've said if/when answering a question that implies any question?? But really, why today, at that timing?? Really, he texts Goodman of all people? Surely he could reach out a little more serious "journalists".

An ounce of common sense, not to mention any semblance of optics, made it pretty clear Brad Stevens wasn’t going to be the next coach.

1. Left college in 2014

2. Walked away from coaching altogether in 2021

3. Assembled a championship winning franchise 

4. Has the best roster in the NBA secured for the foreseeable future 

1+1 usually equals 2.

Whatever equation signals Brad Stevens coaching IU is why statistics is still an extremely tough course to pass.

You in no way addressed my post but took it as yet another opportunity to talk down to someone. Imagine. 

I was basically asking the three of you what is wrong with other people believing differently than you? For the record you haven't seen me post one thing pumping up Stevens to IU. I also believe it to have been a slim possibility. But I'm sure not showing up to crap on other people's opinions, and do you understand why?

I live in the Cincy area and paid attention to Cronin while he was at UC. Never thought they appreciated what they had but I also never really saw him as great. Good/very good but maybe not great. With better resources and support? Maybe? Not positive. Wouldn't be my first choice but I don't think he'd be a bad choice.

Not near the success of Huggins but way better than what they have now. Miller stinks

lol.

The “smartest” employee at Safeway.

Bragging about being smart when spelling and grammatical checks are readily afforded….christ. No person who brags about making money types like they read at a 3rd grade level.

Stay paranoid Bailey.

Exactly. Look, I don’t know about some newer posters, but Chris007 and JerryYeagley don’t come off as trolls or liars. If they are they should go into the CIA and get paid as agents because they’re very convincing. The quote itself with its vagueness and the fact it’s only Goodman just seems odd. I’m not giving up hope until after Tuesday night. If there’s any truth to what we’ve heard, he’ll sign Monday, and this will leak by Tuesday.

Nothing wrong in believing in fairy tales.

Don’t act surprised when you’re still at the kids table.

Ah. Personal attacks. The hallmark of someone who is a troll.

I am just reporting them at this point. Personal attacks are uncalled for

They are not trolls they mean well and probably go with what they are told. It just doesn't always seem to work out.

Listen…You’re not allowed to brag about making more money than someone if you can’t pass a literacy test.

State Law!

Where did all these mental health advocates come from today?  Like out of nowhere they show up telling everyone how sorry they are that we've been lied to, not to be gullible, and shame on people who would take advantage of our weak unstable minds. I for one was definitely taking it in as finally, Brad it is. 

Or should I be flattered that strangers have my best interests at the forefront?

Anyway, back to Goodman. I didn't even know that the nation was all but certain about Brad too there for a few hours. So what was going on outside this boars that Sfevens needed to get out in front and make declaration?? I like Brad and all, but he think that much of himself he just up out of nowhere says, "I'm not a candidate"  like seems odd to do it, like ever.

Our boards have been buzzing about Stevens for the past week. The buzzing has gotten louder each day, and it was only a matter of time before someone in the media noticed. Goodman reached out to Stevens, got the expected canned response, and everyone lost their minds. 

[Evariste Galois 598]

“I thoroughly appreciate being a Celtic and love the people I get to work with every day,” Stevens told Goodman.

 

""But that stuff's crazy. I mean, I love being at Michigan. I love our team. We're fighting like crazy ...:" Dusty May

 

Right now, I do not believe because I do not want to be disappointed, but the quotes are basically the same - and if I recall correctly, Goodman has significant anti-IU bias and we only helped confirm his bias by not making a good hire last time.

And did you even read THAT post? I've never bought into Stevens. It was always slim at best, like I said. I'm not sure that's believing in fairy tales, but I do believe there are perpetually sour people. You're so damn focused on fighting with people you make things more difficult than they need to be. Like you said earlier: "I root for IU. Don't overthink this."

WE root for IU. All of us. There are different paths to success and different views on how we're going to get there. Don't overcomplicate this. However this hire turns out it's going to land us in a better position than the one we're currently dealing with. People are free to speculate however they wish until we have our answer.

There’s posters who have actively rooted for IU to lose. Multiple. Lots. Many.

Just stop.

My wishful thinking scenario is Stevens is actually punking Goodman knowing he'd be chomping at the bit to put that statement out to IU fans. He worded it vaguely and when he takes the job he can just say he wasn't a candidate at that particular time, then Indiana came calling afterward. Then we swarm Goodman relentlessly until he finds a different profession and fades away into obscurity.

But in reality a duck is usually a duck and its very possible Option 1 is no longer an option. Time will tell.

You were a strong-willed child I have no doubt. 

Always up for conflict and often missing the point.

I wasn't talking about fandom. I was talking about leaving people alone. But again, you're hellbent on conflict and still missing the point (or manipulating it as best you can) so I'll hand you back your own words again.

"Just stop."
