People said Brad Stevens was a done deal yesterday, Brad then told Goldman he wasn't a candidate late afternoon yesterday, and now no one knows what to think.

Also Brad wasn't going to sign until after all star weekend

This should go without saying obviously, but there will be no press conference tomorrow. I’ll be able to take the lid off a bit later in the week. But will say this, anybody providing details right no

I’ve had several PM’s so wanted to drop a quick line to the broader board. Love this group and fully intend to continue to contribute to the community, Im not going anywhere. (Sorry to a few of you) B

So I couldn’t get much from him unfortunately. But, to me that’s a good thing. There’s been pretty much zero chatter, nor leaks for a month about coaches. He said it doesn’t matter that the season is

The smart people do.  He’s not coming.

Dusty may just be that smart…he may have demanded the low buyout knowing that Woodson would be gone. He can either jump to IU if he wants to, or force Michigan to extend him after only one season for a lot more money! If he’s that smart we really have to try harder to get him!

He isn't dumb....he bet on himself and won big but even if he was dumb I am betting that his agent isn't either. 

And exactly, he has all the leverage in the world now so he will get paid regardless of what Steven's allegedly told Goodman.

UM has so much money it’s not too hard for them to pony up to keep him — contract, staff $/program budget, and NIL are all going way up.  Not good.

Chris Beard was hired to coach Ole Miss for $3.25M / year, less than 3 months after being fired for cause from Texas due to his arrest for felony domestic violence. He's doing just fine without us on the "getting second chances" front.

Cool. Since he currently has a job... we can cross him off the list...

Schertz is McCollum…

+ a year at a tougher conference + three more years at D1 + modern offense.

So remind me again why Schertz isn’t the darling of the board instead of McCollum, besides that McCollum dresses better?

And remind me why a guy like Calhoun, Byington, or Gates isn’t markedly more qualified?

I generally want a younger guy so I prefer McCollum to Brownell, but McCollum is a Ray Harper style lotto ticket guy.

Hey guys :)

I haven’t been on in a couple weeks.  It looks like this is the place to be lol.  Can someone provide a quick recap on where we are at or DM me?  I don’t think I can read this many pages lol.

Brad Stevens is the guy... signed, sealed and delivered.

Nope, BS is not a candidate

Massive meltdown because the "insiders" lied or at best know nothing

100 pages of bickering over who's the best coach

Beard lovers just won't quit

This isn't meant to discredit you. Just sharing my reaction. 

I would just be very surprised if Scott Dolson told a bunch of AAU coaches on a call who he was hiring, or if he told an athlete board. 

There's no way he's talking to people like that about the search. If he is, then it's an indicator that's he not really in charge of this, which I think we all agree he is. 

Thank you. I find the insider reports here entertaining, even though I take them with a grain of salt. But "Dolson met with AAU coaches and told them he was hiring Stevens" might be the most outlandish report I've ever heard, and that's saying something.

The real question is how much are they willing to pony up compared to how much indiana is willing to pony up. 

If ius contract is bigger not only in contract but also NIL, assistants, etc then nobody would blame him if he left Michigan after 1 year. Even if they did who cares? They don't pay his bills

So I went looking for the UNC hot board all I could find was for football .I did end up in a Redditt  page which was sort of like this page and they were debating on if HB  was gonna get another year because IU had to give MW another year ,then they were saying who they wanted ,most of them want Oates  and every once in awhile a poster would say  would you take a gently used Mike Woodson ,and then they would go back and forth on lots of different coaches and how top brass act like boy scouts and could not hire insert multiple names ,so they kind of sound like us .

so explain Goodman..

1. SD has been courting BS for over a year

2. SD and BS recently travelled to New Mexico together to visit the set of a tv show 

3. They are closer than most recognize

4. 10 days ago talk began to heat up as we announced CMW’s imminent departure 

5. Insiders claim SD has his man lined up 

6. Throughout the week more and more chatter builds to the point that even skeptics, naysayers, and casual fans start to take note

7. More insiders arrive with corroborating information that continues to confirm that there is smoke coming from BS direction

8. the consensus is no announcement will be made before early to mid-March; the end of our season.

9. A few poster hint that it could be post All Star break at the earliest 

10. things reach a fever pitch yesterday.

11. Negotiations go back and forth with IU agreeing to meet BS stipulations 

12. Every insider chimes in, indicating we have our man. BS to IU is imminent 

13. Our insiders run in different circles and hear from different sources— some from the Athletic Dept, some from boosters, some from board members 

14. BUT early afternoon BS is no longer a candidate???

If BS wasn’t interested, why meet?

If BS wasn’t interested why negotiate?

If BS had two weeks why yesterday?

If BS was a ‘no’ couldn’t he have been more definitive in his denial?

I said yesterday that if BS signed, they have to announce quickly to protect the narrative. The only alternative is KAYFABE— to make things appear different than they actually are. WHY? We have a coach. It could be a humiliating distraction for him and the team. ALSO, BS and the All Star break is happening now. Would he want to make the weekend about him? Not likely.

in my view the evidence is clear. Until we hire someone else; or BS says ‘I will not coach at IU last year,’ I will choose to BELIEVE he’s still in play.

Yea.  I’m worried they love what he’s doing and will want to keep him.

Their athletic dept revenue is about $250M vs our $150M (I’m adjusting out our loan), so they could pay him a lot and give him more program budget.  They have great football NIL, get the attention of a few donors and they could ramp up bball NIL.

It’s true the support for bball hasn’t always been there at UM, but if they want to, it could be.
