Time and date? What about the planned press conference scheduled with FoxSports? Speaking from over 20 years of experience on the later, there is zero chance that is set like that. Zero.

Doesn’t make sense with how specific that is. Plus the game on that day is on ABC anyways, they would probably get a whiff of it before fox sports. This is some fun stuff to talk about while we wait!

Why do people keep using 4-5yrs with Pearl?   Pitino kicking butt at 72 going on 73.  Belicheck just hired in football at 73.  Absent a health issue , Pearl could easily be a 7-10yr solution and put IU on very solid ground.  

Pearl has said he does not see himself coaching in his 70's so that is likely the reasoning.

Hey buddy, we know what you mean.  Would you stop thinking about a fit and threatening to leave?  Geesh.

Google Hooters about 10 times and go to their website, facebook, twitter/X, and Insta pages and then it might be a wish granted.  Might have to bing it too.  LOL

Someone pulled the fire alarm at my college dorm at 2AM the morning I had my first final...

 

I was pissed 

That was a weekly occurrence in McNutt.

Actually, the prospect of us hiring Turgeon is WAY MORE outlandish than us hiring Stevens. 

Either is unlikely, but while the chance of us hiring Stevens may be low, the chance of us hiring Turgeon is 0.000%

It is quite literally 0%. He is a unique person in that he cannot be bought. Any decision will be made because he views it as better for him and his family for non financial reasons. The IU job would very much not be. 
 

If he could be  bought, they’d have done it already, and he’d have left Butler for Oregon or Illinois or UCLA or the Phoenix Suns - all of which offered to triple his salary or more from Butler, and all of which he turned down.

Appreciate the kind words. I am wrong a lot of times. As I have said many times.  Also to clear up something up I've never used the term insider. I know a lot of people have been around this program for many years. I share what people tell me. You remind me a lot of my old friend Scotty.

Love the Linton Miners though. They are usually my 3rd or 4th favorite school in Greene Co. 

So there's only 2 schools in Green County?

LOL

not saying it couldn’t happen, but that it would not be set this far in advance and if it was the network would have to know the context/why and validate it being important enough to break in or override a scheduled program. If they did, it would leak in about 1 second. 

if there is any shred of legitimacy to it I will text/dig into it a bit but too embarrassed to even ask anyone at this point

Picture this:

Brad Stevens and Jim Gray

Boston area Boys and Girls Club

Primetime Television

The Bradcision

But, but... they could do it like a recruit announcement. He'll have 2 hats and 2 contracts in front of him, IU and Celtics, and whichever hat he picks up and puts on will be who he's signing a contract with. He'll do the fake-out thing a few times to mess with everyone then put on the hat of his choice. When asked questions, he'll say he hadn't decided until right before (or maybe during) the press conference.

Original and riveting. Cliche and boring.

Yeah, it's not happening. When it doesn't we'll surely be told a later date at which it will "definitely" happen.

Turgeon would have killed it in Phoenix with his offense and those NBA guys. I bet he regrets not taking that job.

At first, I thought you were obviously a troll. Last Friday, I was starting to think you might be legit. Now, I'm firmly back to thinking you're a troll. 

 

Hope you're enjoying all this at the expense of a fanbase that's hopelessly followed this program through roughly 25-30 years of mostly dismal, boring failure. I'm not sure what's in store for the rest of my life, but I hope I never find myself doing what you're doing.
