Not yet...you didn't miss it. That information has been withheld (or, doesn't exist)!

I listen to things people tell me all day. I have not been told anything different from my sources but they haven’t said much in the last two weeks. But other people are telling me that we are progressing with someone else. I don’t know if I’m the smoke screen or they are. With a three weeks to go I just don’t know.

Imo, I dont think bs has said fully "no" to iu.  The sale of the majority portion of the Celtics is likely down to 2 bidders at this point and should wrap up sometime in March.  If the highest bidder isn't pagliuca, then there will be a new controlling majority owner.  You can't tell me a billionaire will let wyc control the Celtics as governor until 2028 as a minority owner.  Someone foreign to the organization may also want their own executives, despite bs being one of the best. Especially with luxury tax challenges ahead.  It would be short sided to not keep iu as an option until the ownership/leadership is finalized.  If its status quo with the Celtics ownership, then the percentage goes way down.

We need to move on.  He wants the job or he doesn’t.  If he does he would’ve said yes by now.

Any hint as to who we might be progressing with? Need a little Friday afternoon hit of that good stuff.

Then great.  We will all be elated in a few weeks.  But if he can’t make up his mind move on.

I think McDermott is great, and think he would do very well at IU. Having said that, he isn't 1 of the 5 names i heard about yesterday. Other names I didn't hear: Brownell, Buzz, or Cronin (which surprised me)

There’s no way Steven’s would accept the job with Indiana still having two weeks left with regular season and conference tournament play. He has to much respect for NBA lifers, coaches, and for the Celtics organization to do so. If Brad accepted the job a week ago and it’s made public, this does nothing but distract the current team/coaches at Indiana.

Care to Elaborate? Not necessarily disagreeing but I like a lot of his schemes. I’d prefer someone a bit younger personally. 

My worry with him is his time with Iowa State:  Straight from Wikipedia:

"McDermott was the Cyclones' head coach for four seasons between 2007 and 2010, and during his tenure led them to an overall record of 59 wins and 68 losses (59–68).^[7] His marquee victory at Iowa State came on March 6, 2010, against No. 5 Kansas State. This was his only victory over a ranked team while with the Cyclones."
