I just came here to pass along some solid info. Lmao, this is insane, I’ve gotten deep into a web and can’t get out. Got some crazy following me around on a message board, my life is complete. Makes me wish I never came and posted, but thanks for many others for being so welcoming and cool to chat with. Sorry for derailing all of this, but always gonna defend myself. Especially against 0% claims lol 

I appreciate what you bring to the chat.

I love this. Any of those 3 with May and I’m jumping for joy 

I am starting to get a little of the Bill Self vibe from Scott Drew HT @hper50... Are we sure that he's going to thrive in the era that everyone can pay players? Looking at his teams the last three years gives Tom Crean Marquette vibes more than national contender. Think he would be more consistent than Crean, but think it remains to be seen how he holds up.

I have proof that Brad has at least signed SOMETHING!

Not all of us older guys want him... I'm in my 70s ... I was at IU through 1976... and want no part of Alford as a coach... he's pedestrian at best... and the mess at Iowa still sticks as an issue for me.

Haven’t seen @Truthhurts respond in a while…guessing his mom yelled down to the basement that his TV dinner was ready.

Yea, they think he would kill it here with IU resources

I just don't see it... Woodson had resources and he failed... I don't see anything different with Alford at the helm.

I’ve been wondering if this search doesn’t go off the rails and wind up back to Woodson

Still waiting for that March run! Maybe he'll think twice about retiring...

Alford was brought up plenty of times in the past coaching searches but it seems like people have mostly moved on from him, thankfully. Pretty much no one on this board has talked about him. I'll sometimes glance at other boards and some FB groups and I'm not seeing much about him there, either.

He would be an awful hire for multiple reasons.

Last time I moved my mom I found an "autographed picture" I got from Cowboy Bob when I was about 5. Good old days!

Geez. Ok, let’s do it. And the bet is proving that it’s above a 0% chance as you previously posted, correct? You pick the mod kind sir.

and definitely not an insider, there’s people here who are actual insiders. I just happen to know someone who is close to what’s being talked about. 

its almost like you don’t want it to be Brad and want to continue to have a **** product on the floor just so you can be right. What a miserable human you are 

I’m far from a miserable human and think that is well over the line and rules of the board.

there are plenty of coaches I would prefer over Stevens and I am well aware that Indiana has been working on Stevens for over 4 years, that’s not news.

what is news is that he is coming, that the news will come out in the next few days and that the staff has already been picked. Those are all things that YOU have claimed to know since you arrived here.

You are a troll. All your posts are here for everyone to go back and see if they choose to. You have claimed to know a whole lot more details than you are pivoting to now.

how many days left until the news gets out? Just a few days away right?

I’ll never know how true this is, but I was told by what I believed was a pretty good source back when it purportedly happened that Alford was in negotiations to take the job after Davis’ interim year but Brand nixed it at the last minute and decided IU was keeping Davis full time.

By end of next week news should be out. Not a formal announcement, but the dam wall won’t hold for much longer. Not a troll. Way better than a 0% chance. Have heard two names mentioned as assistants. We should all be very happy, including you, if/when this comes to fruition. And if not, hey, I’ll still be here and pass things along as they come. If so, you owe me a coke haha.

Please don't compare Scott Drew to Tom Crean.  That's extremely insulting to Scott Drew.  He built Baylor until a national contender from nothing and has kept it there for 14 consecutive years. 

He's one of the best coaches in college basketball.

Which names are you hearing?

He either is coming or he isn’t. You’ve proclaimed to be an insider and said he is coming and that the assistants were already chosen.

since you know all of that as fact then you get Steven’s and I get the field. You have the advantage because you already know it’s done and all the details as you’ve proclaimed.

its not up to me on what mod. I’m happy to venmo them to hang on to the money until the announcement is made if you are.

You’re changing the bet. Truthurts said 0% and we both know that’s not true. Your better than this.

The fun squad who come here and claim there is zero chance that Stevens is coming and everyone is a fool for believing there is a chance crack me up. I haven’t seen anyone who thinks it’s a done deal and Stevens is going to be coach. But here come the straw men fighters to save the day. Here is a rare photo of our saviors.

Happens like clockwork each night.

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. 

I listen to the Field of 68. At first, I thought it was Goodman trying to get his buddy a raise. He just got one in December so I don't think it's that. IF he's a realistic choice for IU, I'd put him at 2 behind Scott Drew and ahead of Mick Cronin.
