Great quote. Entirely way too much pointing. 

To make your point I guess you have to be literal sometimes haha

As the day goes by the more I learn his the post this morning is way off. Is Brad Stevens coming to IU? No. Has he said no for sure? No he hasn’t. I think there are some things both sides are trying to get worked out. I think IU side feels like they can get it done. 

Wasn't it put out before that he had gotten what he asked for from IU?

I definitely wouldn’t take his word as gospel.

this is a great quote by Mick 

You all have to quit posting these clips  from of Mick.  It makes me not hate him as much and I don't like that.

I think it’s been relayed that we would meet any needs he might have. Just about getting pen to paper on our end.

and do you think the pen to paper is merely a timing thing or something else at play?

Going to be new snipits every day until we hire someone and I’m here for it.

Can't we send HIM one of those Nigerian emails that requests his social and signature for a large some of money?  I mean it's not a lie.

Maaaaaannnnnn if they don't, can Brad at least throw us a bone and be like "Yeah I was seriously considering it and IF I were to go back to college coaching it would definitely have been Indiana"  I'm sooooooo tired of other fan bases laughing at us pursuing Stevens like we are some teenage stalkers. He owes us one after the mass hole comment !!!!!

I can’t answer that on his side. Two years of high school left for their daughter could be something. The sale of the Celtics could be something. But I keep coming back to him not signing an extension and his contract being up soon. Also that he misses coaching.

Thanks.  If this is how it played out, I would be surprised if Brad wasn’t reasonable in his counter/ask.  And he knows better than most people as a GM that if someone meets your ask it’s a deal.  We shall see!

Hearing he asked for names on the back of jerseys. Everyone one was 100% on board…until QB stepped in and shut it down. Some things you just can’t change!

I really feel like we will be happy with whoever is picked as the coach. I think this is the most important hire for IU since Knight. The program can't afford another miss and Dolson knows this. I am still a firm believer that it will be Stevens (I posted my theory 200 pages back). That being said, we have the NIL to recruit the talent, we just need a tactician with a personality to handle the big stage at IU and I think there are many who would fit that criteria and excel. 

I've been struggling to put together my Wishlist of candidates and I finally did so today. I kept Jay Wright and Tony Bennett off the list because I think they are done with the current state of the game but I would love either. I also didn't add Dusty May because of the recent extension, but he was my #1 before that occurred.

1) Brad Stevens (obviously #1 and many believe not likely, but I am hopeful).

2) Scott Drew (if he can build a program in Baylor, Indiana should be easy)

3) Chris Beard (I get the controversy and the unlikelihood, but he would get this program rolling)

4) Josh Schertz - I just really like the guy. I think he gets it and I loved watching his Indiana State teams play. Lots of fun. Does he have the personality for the big stage? 

5) Everyone else is a tie for me (Grant McCasland, Ben McCollum, TJ Otz, Mark Few)

I firmly believe all these guys would kill it here. So give me anyone of these guys and let's go dominate again.
