Lakers-Celtics ABC game of the week Saturday night. :-) I’m still of the mindset that unless someone just has the story and runs with it, burn the boats and access, we won’t know until the team is eliminated. But Chris knows more than me.
OKHOOSIER Posted March 7, 2025 Posted March 7, 2025 42 minutes ago, P92 said: Okay, I know nothing, but I’m going out on a limb here. Just read Bozich’s most recent column. I’ve been reading Bozich since he was with the Louisville Courier Journal way back in the 80s. I’ve found him to be discreet, trustworthy, and an IU guy—which means he is kind of a company guy like Don Fischer who has been able to cover IU through the years and not tick administration or Bobby Knight off back in the day. In said column, He goes through all the names we’ve been discussing lately—(with no mention of BS). He gives all the positive and negatives of each—all well and good. Then he says he believes SD is gonna hire someone else, no one is talking about—not on the list he just gave. Okay, fine, some unknown guy? No—- he then describes this guy as a veteran coach looking for a new challenge to rebuild IU. Kent Sterling does a video and says the exact same thing. I know to take Bozich seriously and also know he is connected and values access and won’t cross the athletic department. In my mind, BS just went from a 1-2% likely to better than even odds. Here’s what I think. Reporters trusted by the AD know who the hire is—a small select number. And they’ve been asked to hold the story and just discuss other candidates until a set time—probably once senior day is done and the lights turned out in the Hall on Saturday. No more home games, no need to protect Woodson’s ego after that point. With the terrible risk of sounding like isaacTor, I guess—based on nothing but reading between the lines— that around 8 Saturday night Bozich and a handful of guys that are trusted in the AD will simultaneously start breaking stories about rumors of who this “veteran” coach is. I might be totally wrong, but I think “we got him.” Who else could this veteran guy be? Mark Few. lillurk, IU Faithful, MikeRoberts and 1 other 2 2

hoosierbannerd Posted March 7, 2025 Posted March 7, 2025 This is the most I've learned about Davis...never knew he wasn't necessarily thrilled with succession and only wanted to defend the Deep South states and not expand the CSA beyond those.. mdn82 1
rcbowla Posted March 7, 2025 Posted March 7, 2025 Someone that has been brought up but not talked about much that could be a candidate is Chris Mack

Scotty R Posted March 7, 2025 Posted March 7, 2025 I was listening to 107.5 just now and they were talking about Stevens and his contract with the Celtics. The host said he has heard the Brad has some equity in the Celtics. He has heard that once the sale of the Celtics is final that Brad will have a payment coming to him. The stipulation is that Brad has to still be an employee of the Celtics. If this is the case and if the amount is pretty substantial Brad probably isn't leaving until the sale is final if at all. cybergates, Ctf9, IU Faithful and 1 other 1 3
