Alright don't want to distract everyone here from work. We won't announce Stevens for a few more weeks (once March run is over) just wanted to have some fun. I'll be back on when our run is over

Ban him

Be on the lookout for a fake Osterman 'X' account popping up.  This has been a PSA from your friendly, courteous, gracious and humble mods.

Osterman will be the Twitter to watch

You have to reveal your identity by 5pm when nothing happens by noon today. You may remain a part of the board but only under a new handle voted upon and chosen by the majority of the BTB.

I knew it wasn’t true when none of our community engagers showed up right away to claim we are in discussions with Craig Neal

Let's have ourselves a week BTB. I feel like I have had 6 really good years here. If IU goes 2-0 this week we will make the NCAA tourney and that will give Scott Dolson 67 million reasons why to go hire a great coach.

Bad start this morning...

I know all of that already.

That optics of running off a coach who has made the tournament 3/4 years isn't appealing to a well-established coach currently in a good situation. This is a huge reason why Dusty May wasn't interested in the IU job. 

Every coach knows every reason I just listed - plus a ton more I won't list cause they are rumors solid rumors but rumors - Coach Crean has all but said he would jump back at the job and he lived it more harshly then CW (Heck I may give another shot before Turgeon - I'd like to see Crean with a NiL budget - his teams were often fun to watch unlike Woodson). They absolutely know he made his own bed and what got him in this situation - better then most of us imho. Most Coaches won't come here cause they are happy where they are or don't want to be in a fishbowl - but honestly that eliminates just a few of the ones that were long shots anyway. I'm not buying the Turgeon or Groche as our best shot - long time till the end of the season and SD put out feelers before making this decision. I absolutely believe that - heard it from too many places.

The real Isaac Torres would never.

[Hornsby 3,183]

I'm one of the biggest Stevens naysayers on here, but have been hitting refresh on this thread non-stop. 
Peak entertainment!

Isaac is likely playing people like a grand piano and laughing as he does it

Optics are fine.   A coach with 0 college basketball coaching experience before he took the job got asked to leave for not winning enough.  I posted the the results of the 4 years earlier with what he said he wanted to accomplish.  He failed just like Archie before him.   A highly successful masterclass of a coach like May wouldn’t be scared away from back to back failing coaches.    IU was just a year too late.  He moved on and found a High major spot in one of the top 2 conferences so 0 reason for him to move from that.   Glad to see you coming around that he is an elite coach though.   You arguing keeping Woody over him last year was a head scratcher. Better late then never 

[Hornsby 3,183]

He’s just a Purdue or UK troll.  Hopefully everyone understands that.  Should be obvious but we have some really crazy fans.

Yep a classic troll who is sitting back laughing

My guess is no matter who the coach is, they won't be announcing til the end of the tourney run....
