General Coach Candidate News

Yes, it’s much more productive to speculate about Cody Zeller being Brad’s new IU GM because he caught an IU game during his wife’s West coast tour. 

If you want to argue on the basis of productivity, all discussions on this board are a waste of time. Just ask all the employers of fans on this site the last 3 or 4 weeks and tell me productivity didn't decrease...

Using the word “productive”  relative to posting & consuming material on a college basketball fan board is certainly interesting.  I’m here for entertainment and rely on other avenues to satisfy any need for productivity.  Sounds like you may end up disappointed if trying to be productive here…

It’s America, the market determines their salary. Thankfully, players are now starting to get their fair share as well.

Just got back from Assembly Hall. Wanted to make sure they didn’t need any help getting everything setup for later today. :-)

Setting up for a NCAA tourney berth?

And miss out on pretty much every aspect of being a parent.  Listen to any coach that is out of the game or just taken year off and hear the joy in their voice about being able to be an actual parent.   Like you said the most successful ones give up a piece of their life just for a game 

Nothing made me appreciate a 9-5 like living a very toned down version of that life as a young dad. Respect to those who do it, respect to those who found there’s a better quality of life out there lol.

I have not seen one person opposed to Brad Stevens, just people who understand Brad Stevens isn’t going to return after a decade absence, snap his fingers, and magically have IU as a national title contender in a year or two.

That and it’s completely pointless to speculate because he has zero interest in this job. There’s nearly 1000 pages worth of speculation on a candidate that has a better chance of retiring and moving to the moon tomorrow than he does coaching Indiana. It’s so freaking silly that Brad Stevens continues to dominate the general candidate thread.

I wish I could buy what you think know for what it’s worth & sell it for what you think it’s worth…

He simply checks every single box for all parties.  He’s the one hire who would make both the administration and the fans extremely happy.  No one else can come close.  That’s why Dolson has pursued him so heavily.

Also, he makes IU legit national championship contenders every single year.

I am equal opportunity lazy.  Whether it’s during a coaching search, or mid July, or mid October, steady as she goes.  Under promise.  Over deliver.  Just don’t ever let them assume your productivity is decreasing by decreasing it day 1.  Gentleman, that is how you maintain the amount of posts I have had on various forums over the years.  It all pays the same and nobody is ever disappointed.

Was @IsaacTor there with you? I figured he must be pretty busy here lately since he hasn’t been back

[HoosierInParadise 977]

If I were Isaac, and were trying to troll this thread even more, I would come on here at 3:00 and post a link to Brad Stevens' Masshole press conference from 4 years ago like it is a link to a live stream for the announcement. I would respect him more for creativity, at least...

If it’s not Stevens i think it’ll be Drew & I don’t think Baylor is going to go too far in this tourney so we’ll know sooner rather than later.

Unless those Indiana Hoosiers are still rolling in the tourney then they will have to wait until they lose

Definitely have the talent. I'm just not sure they have the leadership. But, you just never know...

You’re not spending 12 hour days repairing roofs in 90 degree heat as a P5 head coach, but this isn’t a job you excel at if you’re not all in. Like, we literally just fired a coach last month who failed because he half-a**ed the job for the past four years. 

That is true and that is why I hope we go with a younger coach (if not Brad) that has a lot of energy and passion for the game and actually enjoys the day to day recruiting, “grind”.

Yeah he was pretty busy. He said he wishes he could be here to celebrate with us but he’ll check in later this month when the bigger announcement is happening.

[Hoosierfan1901 7,261]

I know it won’t happen at all, but for the the fun of it, I’m assuming it would have been a leak announcement today or something. Which wouldn’t make sense, as the Celtics are playing at noon on ABC. And they would probably get the whiff of it first if there was a signed contract.

I don’t think coaches have that hectic of a schedule from the time the season ends until the end of summer when they can practice with the team again, especially now in the NIL era.
