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. 

What’s left to workout I wonder? Also weird Dusty signed the extension as leaks were saying that wouldn’t happen until season is over / IU off the table.

 

this whole search has been weird to me. Somethinhg feels off

Guess Ill start piano lessons

Playing the piano is a great way to pass the time when it’s snowy and the moose are munching on your plants outside your home. Roast some marshmallows and whip up some s'mores to share with your neighbours. But hey, don’t try to pet the moose while they’re eating; they’re not fans of that! Right, eh?

Well 2 weeks ago Thursday there was some chatter from Trilly that Brad had a couple weeks to get back to IU. Obviously lots has happened since then but tomorrow, I believe, is the two weeks “deadline.”

Now of course if he wants more time you make it work. But I wonder if tomorrow there could be some heat or some docusigning.

Great list minus McCollum.

He is probably at the bottom for me, but I would get behind it.

I truly enjoy your entertaining posts, but sometimes I do wonder if you've eaten some of the wrong mushrooms from your back yard.  And I mean this in the nicest, most kind-hearted way!!  :-)

Just wanted to share:

 

 

 

I am an IU Grad

 

I have lived in Bloomington for 30+ years post College

 

I work for IU

 

My spouse worked for IU Athletics

 

I am an IU Basketball Season Ticket Holder (and Football and IUWBB too)

 

I have even worked with DSUMMITT

 

We have a very very close friend that works in the Athletics Department with ties to Varsity Club

 

We met them out last weekend and of course I asked if they had any inside information on the coaching search ………

 

They have heard nothing. Absolutely nothing.

 

This is my way of saying that I really appreciate those that do hear things AND then share that information with this forum. Keep it coming.  

 

But boy do I have stories about Kelvin Sampson LOL.

 

Spill the beans/dirt on KS.

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

Difficult to imagine that Dolson wouldn’t have come to Brad the first time with a spectacular package that Brad felt he couldn’t say no to.  Especially if they had been in close communication for months.  A million or so more for staff or rev share wouldn’t require beating the drum again with donors.  Something about that angle doesn’t add up for me?

I might not be reading into this correctly but WBR who is a diehard IU guy working with barstool.  Not sure if i'm misunderstanding it.

Well I think the first offer was more years and top 3 of highest paid coaches, counter was highest paid by a lot but a few years less. Few other things like that. Just everyday things. But after all that was agreed to it's more on their end now.

That's probably from Beard and company or IU fans trying to will it into being true. Won't happen.
