I’m convinced that Kathy creates a new profile every few days 

Being the conspirator that I am I also believe Kathy and subsequent accounts are all Rabby. That dude really hates Brad Stevens to IU. Wonder why? 

It’s either Rabby or Rabby is sending them.  They’ve all come here with the exact same approach….you’re all dumb, I know more than you, and I’m going to set you straight.

I don’t think Otz is realistic but it’s nice to hear his name be brought up. Did recently have his buyout get lowered. Not insinuating that’s for IU but just as additional information. 

The fact his buyout was lowered makes him a realistic option.

I can picture you running around shopping malls at Christmas time, telling children that Santa Claus isn't real.

Don’t forget getting kicked out of tball games for arguing with a high school aged umpire

I'm fairly convinced now that the athletic department asked a few of its employees to come on here and try to stop the Stevens talk. It just seems way too coincidental we'd get a handful of new posters basically all saying the same thing. Not to mention these guys act like they haven't done message boards before. When I posted on a message board for the very first time, I certainly wasn't thinking about going after respected posters and telling everyone what not to talk about. 

We're turning into HooAnon at this point with the conspiracies lmao

I'm fully willing to believe that the athletic department sent a gag order regarding Brad Stevens. No way they told anyone to go to a message board to tell them to stop talking about Brad lol

I’m more talking about his wife loving ISU and being an alum lol and initial reports are it’d be really hard to get him to move but apparently there’s a tiny crack at the moment.

I don’t know. My info is from Brad’s side, not iu’s. My hope is McCollum. 
 

sorry for the abrasiveness

If you're here on Brad's behalf, and he's 0% coming to IU, then what's your MO?  Not sure antagonistic is really the way to play it...

[WayneFleekHoosier 49,856]

Truthhurts is Tyme and doesn’t like Chris and his sources.

Truth Hurts thinks it’ll be Mick Cronin as our next coach.

Truthhurts Loves Woody.

Truthhurts doesn’t like Cliff Marshall and thinks our fanbase are hicks and racists.

I say ‘5%’ chance at Stevens. But it might be zero.

Tyme/Truthhurts has been right about a lot of roster moves and insider info. But wrong about any faith he put in Woody to be a great coach and wrong about truly being a “ball knower”.

Chris Collins has his short handed team in position to win a road game at Minny.    Collins can coach 

Put him on the list...

[Hoosierfanyuh 3,817]

I don’t think truth hurts knows anything. They’re just trying to prove that the board will believe anything if it’s something they want to hear. What they’re not realizing is the people were CHOOSING to believe have been on this board for YEARS. No one is putting certainty on Issac and BehindTheBench.

 

edit: with knowing that the people we are trusting are saying what they have heard.

Sure, you pick the mod and the prize. You share your info and source that allows you to know it’s absolutely 0%, hell freezes over, not a chance Brad is or was ever coming. I’ll do the same, and share my info and source that proves, without a doubt, that Brad at minimum has a contract in hand, therefore the odds are slightly better than 0%. Mod of your choosing can be the tie breaker. Deal?

[Ghost of Rick Majerus 1,257]

I'm surprised at the number of fans on X and Facebook that I see advocating for Steve Alford. Are these folks serious?!?!

Yes, 2 of my uncles are huge advocates for him and some of the older IU fans know love him being coach.

Conflicting reports, but as of last check, no. Wouldn’t that put us at 100%? All I’m saying, to say 0% chance is absurd at this stage

I believe they are both in their mid/late 60’s

I would love if Brad Stevens were walking the sidelines next year in Assembly Hall. 
But let’s think about this.

Brad Stevens, GM of the 18x NBA Champions, and defending Champions, Boston Celtics leaves to take the Head Coaching job at Indiana. A program that hasn’t reached a Final Four in 23 years and hasn’t won a NCAA title in 38 years…

Listen, keep the Brad talk up. It doesn’t bother me one bit! I hope it happens!!! But let’s get real here. 
 

Yes, we are a blue blood, but I think we need to be a bit more realistic as to the state of our program. Do we have loads of NIL available? Yes. Do we a top 3 best fanbase? Yes. Do we have the potential to return to glory? Yes. 

We need a program builder. One who can invest 15-20 years. We have lost our identity ever since September, 2000. Let’s find it this hire…I hope he comes from Boston.

But I wouldn’t hold my breath. TJ seems to be a looking more and more like a good fit.
