Here’s the thing. It’s a message board. Everyone knows they are filled with the most diehard of fans and rumors and speculation are the makeup of this type of medium. It’s also semi limited so opinions on players and coaches have some insulation.

 

If Tyme/AH wants to be mad at anyone he can be mad at himself and the IUAlliance Twitter burner army that all turned their images to brad Stevens inspired picture and incessantly posted Brad. Stevens. For 3 straight days on the biggest platform on the planet.

 

Be mad at them if you have to be mad at someone. This includes Tyme/AH himself.

 

But, who cares really. It’s fans having fun that maybe it can be Brad Stevens. Each person can choose to believe it as much as they want.

 

When the coaches and players finally start doing their job and winning at a high level people will be less inclined to believe in “fairytales” to stay connected to one of their biggest passions.

Why is Cronin talking like we fired woodson? He is retiring our coaching search isn't the same as firing someone mid season!

So he doesn’t have to answer the question. Anyone that’s asked about it will most likely give a vague answer whether they’re interested or not. It’s not bad for them financially if their team is worried that they’re going to leave. We’ll get a few coaches a nice raise throughout this process.

Yes, it's a message board.  Take your own advice.

Then just leave me alone brother. I was talking to another poster about how much it sucks when IU misses the tournament and you came at me. Your guys obsession with me is weird.

Man I just can't get 100 percent behind any other candidate behind stevens. I will support whoever the new hire is but I am getting a sick feeling it will be some b grade name. We need a big name or bust! Reason I believe the Steven's hype was because I was praying dolson passed on may to get stevens this year! I was hoping he wasn't that dumb! I am cooled some on may now because I have seen him at michigan! He is good and has been impressive so far but also not elite. I know way to small of sample to base anything on. I am really just saying if he leaves already and comes here and fails him and iu look like major clowns imo

I’m just the opposite on May. Part of me last year was in the….OK, but can he do it at a higher level? And he has Michigan competing for a Big 10 title after a crappy record last year. If we had hired May and had their record right now, we would be thrilled.

Awww.

Are we talking about Cronin because he's a Midwest guy?  Can we stop that limited thinking please?

There are great basketball minds outside of Indiana and the Midwest.  Haven't we evolved from that thinking yet?

Go get Todd Golden

I will say this. It’s no secret that I’m  huge Steven’s fan and have been when it all started 4 years ago. With that being said, I’m going to choose to believe there is still a chance and no, I’m not crazy or delusional. 
The odds are against us because of the way it happened the last time, this time just seems different. 
The “elephant in the room” is the one tweet from Goodman stating the ONLY quote from Steven’s saying “I thoroughly appreciate being a Celtic and love the people I get to work with every day,” Stevens told @TheFieldOf68. This is the ONLY thing the various media outlets  have used to dispel Brad NOT coming to IU.

This may very well true and accurate. If so, then we just move on. 
However, that statement also leaves you wanting more detail. It’s implied that Brad told someone verbatim, that he is definitely not a candidate for the IU coaching opening for next year.

There is nothing posted where he was quoted saying anything close to that. IMO, this just says, “Guys, leave me, my family and my team alone right now, I work for the great Boston Celtics. I want to enjoy the All Star Break with my team!”

Agree. Again, I’ve always thought Stevens is a long shot. But what is he supposed to say if someone asks him if he is a candidate for the IU job? When Dusty was asked, he gave an answer that everyone expected and no one thought, well, he is out. And maybe Stevens said more than that quote.

Yes but we didn't. I still say imo we are more likely to get stevens at this point. Last year was the play for may but now everything will just be awkward. Huge gamble imo. We and may would be risking alot imo

If that's truly what he said and Goodman just decided to write it how he wants, it definitely is not a deal breaker type quote.

Cronin has had a really good run as well and is one of the top coaches in the sport. Certainly better than our last two coaches by a significant amount.

I was waiting for someone to point this out. Goodman tweets, and a bunch of day old accounts show up to tell everyone how stupid they are. Imagine thinking Brad Stevens being a long shot was some galaxy brained secret to which only they were privy and smart enough to understand lmfao. The arrogance is almost impressive.
 

“Brad Stevens is never coaching at IU,” we told you so! Thanks Nostradamus, really going out on a limb with that prediction, gtfoh.

The way this has played out definitely does make Dolson look like a desperate chick throwing herself at Stevens only to get hurt time and time again. Lol

You have to acknowledge that Dolson has not said a word, nor has he hinted, intimated or suggested that he was doing the Stevens dance... all of the reporting is from the insiders that may or may not be getting factual information, and from the flight trackers, dreamers and insider wannabes...

I'm not saying that Dolson hasn't been in contact with Stevens or his representatives, but it's not like Dolson is standing outside his bedroom window holding a boombox over his head blaring love songs and pining for Stevens to give him the time of day.

That’s why these posters are nothing but ****.  They come here and try to make us miserable because they’re miserable.  Misery loves company.

I recognize a few of them as long time posters! Wasn't just new ones. It's inevitable though when something like yesterday happens

No idea.  He has won wherever he’s coached.  Maybe some think he’s a Texas guy who doesn’t want to come north?  lol
