He never said it was on its own. He said if that's the only piece of evidence we're looking at. 

Read the post I responded to again, lol.  You obviously missed what I responded to, again.

He’s a Celtics fan not really an IU basketball fan.  Doesn’t mean he doesn’t know things but he’s one of the most biased posters you’ll ever see.

tf? 

No, he's really an IU fan lol.... don't just post **** to post it.

I'm sorry a lot is going on and being said behind the scenes in Bloomington. It would give more context to Brad at the game 

Can you share any of this context with us?

It’s because the “positive” things are stuff like Cody Zeller catching an IU game while his wife is on tour nearby or Brad Stevens visiting his son at college in the same state as IU. Stuff completely divorced from IU’s head coaching search. 

Gotcha. Thanks. Appreciate you.

Don't forget Norman too. I think he said we are waiting for some Division 2 or 3 guys to get done with your season and some assistants so we can interview them.

RTZ has no info, Jerry hasn't come back to tell us anything. People have been told to be quiet but all of a sudden all of this talk just started happening. 

Smokescreen Gang members, Norman, Motley, and others, when leaks come out......lol!!!

I was going to but it's not worth it. As many on here have told you it's not going to be him. 

[Home Jersey 15,424]

Lots of people either misunderstanding or willfully misrepresenting what other people are saying / claiming to believe. Take a breather ya’ll… two-three weeks to go now. The speculation here does not matter. We are getting a new coach that’s almost certain to be an improvement.

I appreciate the sarcasm, but I’ll be glad once the head coaching search is over. Either Brad ends up the coach or we can finally put the Brad Stevens hopes/conspiracies to bed once and for all.

Possible (though as I’ve said, I can tell you it’s not Brad). But again, if so, why? What would be the reason for such secrecy if it’s someone from the nba world? Maybe you don’t formally announce it, but surely there’d be leaks because keeping it secret doesn’t matter that much when the outgoing coach is already known to be “retiring”. The earlier you can start fundraising off the back of the new guy, the better. The earlier prospexrive transfers know, the better. (This is why the duke assistant is already known to be taking the Miami job and why he’s not even going to stay on duke staff  through the tourney. Earlier it’s announced, the better…only reason you wouldn’t is that it’s a current college head coach.) 

For what it's worth, I've been told even if Dolson has an agreement with a coach, nothing will be announced until the team is done playing for the year.  Now I guess that can change if the team somehow makes a run in the tournament and is still playing when the transfer portal opens on the 24th.

Two names getting serious consideration are Dennis Gates and Anthony Grant. The major donors are acutely aware that there are only two African American coaches in the 18 team B1G. They don’t like that Woodson is being forced out and Ben Johnson may be out at MN. They don’t want the B1G to be all white coaches. Think the optics are terrible. They’d like to have Shaka in the mix, but don’t think he’ll leave Marquette. They’d love Tommy Amaker, but his record in recent seasons is a tough sell. Don’t count out Shrews either. 

OK, this has to be a troll job. No way Anthony Grany is getting serious consideration. And Shrewsberry has won like 40% of his games at Notre Dame.

I've literally racked up 10's of thousands of posts over the last 15 years between the old scout site, the different variations of HSN and here. 

I'm not an IU fan? Ok!

 Anytime someone mentions anything positive about Stevens multiple people show up to discount it but that never happens with any other candidate. 

Oh I'll discount Cronin any chance I get.

You'll be yearning for Cronin once Brownell or McCollum are hired.

Lot of people getting butt hurt on both pro sevens and the not Stevens side today.

Providing fair and reasonable context around something you assert is a “positive” is not unfairly “discounting it” just because it undermines your assertion.
