I think we could certainly do worse, but I just don’t see us spending that much for his buyout.

Oats is worth his buyout. Cronin I don’t think is.

Nate Oats would be my #1 option if landing him is realistic. I thought his buyout was insane though.

Only reason I ask is I don’t see Kopp tweeting like this https://x.com/dolsonsburner/status/1886973442802712918?s=46

He’s a top 15-20 coach in the sport. So no, he’s not the top option, or one of the top-3, but again we’d be silly to not be happy with him.

He doesn’t “excite” me to the original point but acting like he’s not a good coach, or even calling him an average coach, is factually incorrect.

I think his resume is T20.. I don't think he's actually a Top 20 coach.

Show the text.   Stevens could easily do a number of things without a press conference.  Grab a reporter in the hall and go on record in s recorded interview stating that he is not interested in the IU job.  Issue a written statement and send it to media for publication.   Or tweet something himself.  Etc.  He did none of this.  

Yeah, in 2021 he had the masshole comments that definitely stated that he had no interest in the IU job. I’m not saying that he does or doesn’t have interest in this job or not. But in 2021 it was a lot more clear. Until he calls himself a masshole again gotta have some faith.

I get people might be a bit salty with me...but Purdue Jockstrap? Really?

Is he pushing him, or did Dolson ask Cig about him because of their connection; and he gave him a positive review?  Pretty big difference, and I hope it's the latter, as the football coach should have no say or huge influence on the decision of a basketball coach. 

Yes.  I’m extremely confident Cig said his piece and then left Scott alone.  Cig knows how successful organizations work.

This.

I highly doubt Cig is knocking on Dolsons door. He is way too busy. He probably was asked and gave his opinion and that was the end of it.

1. Sounds like an agreement was in the place yesterday morning and Stevens was (or is) going to sign a contract on Monday. 

2. Goodman tweets out that Stevens told him he is not a candidate for IU and loves being in Boston. Although some are arguing that it wasn’t a hard “no” and it was soft-vague announcement.

3. Seems like no one knows what is going on right now, although it’s been reported by Rabby that the IU side believes that wasn’t an no and merely front office speak. Others are thinking this ship has sailed and it’s time to move on to candidates. Trilly thinks it’s over, but someone on said on here that is was his opinion and was pretty confused.

4. A lot of “I told you so” on here

I know that but he now has coached in a different region of the country. Also I don't care where a coach comes from but I just care about their resume

It is insane, and so is Cronin’s. Oats is 18 million and Cronin 16 million I believe.

Did it looked like he had been crying? Because if I was him and I just lost Brad “FING” Stevens my face would be puffy as hell from crying so hard. 

He looked pretty happy talking to Ned Pfau at halftime. Kind of unusual as we were down 10 and they just found out that Brad isn’t interested in the job

I have seen this from a few posters. Why would these people be happy? It's a bad look imo.

Wonder if the Celtics offered minor ownership? From my understanding, the company that owns the Celtics only owns like 52% of the organization and is only selling their portions of it. Seems like a similar solution again from the last time around.

Could be and if so, shows you where his interest lie and is certainly not on the front line…so if that’s the case, I’m glad he’s not coming.

Byington is a good option if you have watched his teams play.  They spread it out and they get at it on D.  He is winning pretty well at a place that doesn’t win very often in the best conference this year.

Maybe they know something that we don’t.

I really hope this is a joke because if you think they should be sitting around and moping all night is strange to me. Also again we have no idea what has happened the last few days and if any of the things said on here is remotely close to what happened

I mean, that’s exactly something he would say. Unless I missed your sarcasm.

Actually no.  We all know that it is not.  But I wasn't talking about the location of the university at all actually
