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”.

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

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.

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.

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 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.

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

Yes.  That’s the way it is supposed to work in the purest sense.  It often does not work that way. Suppose it could be called ‘Market Pollution.’

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.

If we land Drew that’s a home run

Church is over and now waiting for church leadership meeting to start. Spent all service praying for Brad Stevens (not kidding what so ever…..) and after church I got a call and the caller id actually said bandwidth.com. lol. I’m taking that as a sign it’s Brad and we purchased more bandwidth for everyone to get on board.

What channel is the press conference on. I forget.

Isaac made the prediction, then made the account “BehindTheBench” to push the Brad narrative further THEN made the account “Truthhurts” to troll anyone who believed the Brad rumors he helped pump up.

Or…. 3pm, Fox sports.

I’m exhausted just thinking about someone doing all that.

We will have to watch all platforms, TV, websites, social media. If I didn't know any better, I would think that Isaac works for Fox Sports, is having contract meetings at 3, and needs to show increased traffic....

If IU fans boost their TRPs in a noticeable way based on a silly internet rumor that is incredible!

Anything is possible when it comes to Brad Stevens....

I think Juwuan forgot one step - 10 years ago start Chris007 - go thru one coach search laying the foundation of Brad for the next...

 

Diabolical... well played sir.

That level of commitment to something so petty would be mind-boggling.

For some it’s not that anyone is largely opposed to this. If you need to go outside the box because other options aren’t available that’s great.

i think this is outside the box. Hiring an NBA GM to be a college basketball head coach vs just hiring one of the best current Baskebtall coaches is certainly different.

Curious why having Stevens lower on a priority list is mind blowing? Few, Pearl, Pitino, Otz Drew and the list can be longer are all here grinding and would do great here and to me are a bigger priority.

 

I would love Stevens if only to shut up all those who laughed at the idea he even entertained the idea. IF he is really interested in the job, really interested, then I think he can be great here and be a grinder.  I trust Dolson to vet that part out but it is a good point you bring up.
