Pat has told the story a few times that he had to bail him out of jail a couple times. If you know Pat that’s saying something. 

A friend will bail you out of jail.  A great friend will be sitting next to you saying “that was freaking awesome.”  :)

Do some research.  And check your CC statements.

I think everyone has missed the obvious: BehindTheBench is no other than Chris007. I mean instant love fest and posting back and forth.

Indiana needs to inquire about Todd Golden from Florida.  He is only 39 and his teams play hard on both offense and defense.  The buyout is only $2 million and he's currently 2nd in the nation, probably should be 1st.  

He is my number 1 choice 

Aside from May/Stevens I concur and also Kevin Young

Kevin Young is at BYU because of his connections to the Suns and he's getting tons of NIL money at BYU. He's not leaving

OK, I didn’t realize they have that much NIL there. I was surprised to see he makes over 4 mill/year, but I sure like the way they play.

As @WayneFleekHoosier has been saying this all sure seems to point to Dusty. The extension still looming, the buyout, the ties and the comments at the presser. The most intriguing of those comments was when he said he hasn't even talked about the job "besides with family" or something very close to that. So haven't talked about it except with the most important people in his life. I'm at about 90% certain it'll be May and I'm cool with that.

My dad and I talk IU hoops fairly often, and he asked me who I thought and I told him May. I think he’s the most possible and it seems like IU could have had him last year, but our good ole Quinn squashed it. My money is on May.

I like it... but we have many more sleeps before we find out anything concrete...

Oh for sure. It’s gonna a long 3-4 weeks coming up lol. I’m already exhausted from the coaching search, but it could also be the lack of sleep from having our 3rd kiddo a few months ago.

So Pitino was vouching hard for Beard this morning?  Apparently said he’d have us top 5 almost every year.  It’s just such a perfect fit you know the Indiana administration will muck it up.

I'm of the opinion that Dusty will take the job so I don't think it will get past Dusty...but if for some reason it does, pending background check, I'm on the Beard train. You cannot go from Option A/B to option F. Beard will win at Indiana.

That’s exactly who I think it is and if it is, I win the bet over chris007!  Lol

I’m not a Goodman fan… at all. In the slightest. That said, again working under the smoke screen theory set of assumptions which I don’t personally buy into… this would be super coordinated. Brads team would give Goodman the generic “being a Celtic makes me feel warm and fuzzy” quote and tell him to state Stevens isn’t a candidate. That’s where all the ambiguity is invited.

Don’t think there’s anything actually there IMO. Being wrong would be cool though. Just hoping Dolson actually knows what he’s doing this go round.

The other piece here, and i know you're not buying the smokescreen stuff, just bringing up hypotheticals, but there was no reason for Brad Stevens to put out a smokescreen. 

Why would he even do that? Nobody is even talking about Stevens coming to IU except for the IU fan bubble. 

This isn't even a blip on the Boston media radar. It's not a blip with the Celtics fan accounts on Twitter. It's not a blip on the NBA's media radar. IU media brings it up here and there, but mostly only to squash it. 

There was no reason for Stevens to put out a smokescreen. Boston media was not asking him about this.

Yeah I just don’t have it in me to strain my neck bending over backwards trying to rationalize the chain of events. Simplest explanation is probably the most likely… that he’s not a candidate…

Congrats on kid #3 --

My ex actually does love me, and is still friends with me and my wife. We act like mature, nonviolent adults, and it's worked out for us.

that could potentially be hot...
