Showed up late and left as soon as the buzzer sounded without talking to anyone. Ned was really happy along with Andy Mohr and the Simon’s

I noticed that as well.

Gee I wonder why AH’s first and second wives left… he certainly has plenty of vigor. But is that only reserved for arguing?

They also thought Brad Stevens was coming to IU.

People expect the GM of the Celtics to call a formal press conference during his down week to more forcefully say he’s not taking some college job the message board crew is convinced about, because texting a reporter isn’t good enough. 

Show the text.   Stevens could easily do a number of things without a press conference.  Grab a reporter in the hall and go on record in s recorded interview stating that he is not interested in the IU job.  Issue a written statement and send it to media for publication.   Or tweet something himself.  Etc.  He did none of this.

First wife married young, had kids, stayed in it too long. Such is life.

Couldn’t be happier with my wife now.

One day you’ll touch grass and understand.

Miserable person? Let me guess you’ve rooted for IU to lose just to spite your face? 

I’m not sure what that means. I’m a simple man. You go out of your way to be contrary. You’re like the guy who roots against the hero because you’ve never been the hero. So when **** goes bad, you’re there to say, see? I told you. The last time you went out with good friends and had a good time was….likely 30 years ago.

Don’t need to over complicate things

Dude I used to think you were a pretty good troll. You took jabs that got people riled up but were subtle. Now you're making it way too obvious, gotta dial it back brother

I root for IU. Don’t overthink this.

[Mopladysman 635]

Maybe they are purposely leaking false info regarding Steven’s to keep the heat off dusty of which they already have an agreement?

[iubb 3,208]

All everyone! We have already hired a coach not named brad stevens according to all the trolls who shockingly came out of the woodwork today.


They all are saying they were right that he was not coming here. Which makes perfect sense since IU has already announced who the new coach is next year

They hate us because they think we're the reason Woodson won't be coaching here anymore. Only thing that makes any sense. They want the next hire to fail so they can remind us how we really didn't have it so bad with Woodson. 

You could not be more wrong about that. I’ve been ready for Woodson to leave since the middle of last season.

And you may. What I don’t get is why you have to be such a stick in the mud. You don’t have to immediately go against what others are hoping for. If you don’t get where I’m coming from, you’re either a great troll, or just like being contrary.

Cronin and Wade would easily be the most qualified coaches since Sampson. What you mean?

Like I said, if you thought Brad Stevens (considering his situation) was going to be the next coach…that’s a you problem not a me problem. Stop listening to Chris.

[JaybobHoosier 12,258]

Just ignore the trolls and stop giving them what the he want, a response. Goodnight Hoosier fans, season’s almost over!

I’m so far out of the loop, I don’t believe anything until it happens. But I’m also not out here pissing on people’s parade. You’re the guy in the movie theater loudly saying that the stunts aren’t real. Walking up to the salvation army Santa telling them they aren’t the real Santa. If you get your self worth out of being the “Acksually” guy, knock yourself out. And you wonder why no one asked you to the VH tribute band tomorrow night…..

@bobknightsghost and @Truthhurts,

Why are you so passionate about what OTHER PEOPLE choose to believe?  As soon as people start discussing anything regarding Brad Stevens with even the tiniest sliver of positivity you guys are on top of them faster than a $5 hooker. You show up with condescension, trying to shame people for their own opinions. We're all working with the same information here, as far as being an average forum member is concerned. We all interpret things our own way, even you two.  Your commitment to changing everyone's mind is top tier, but also weird. And a little sad.

 

An ounce of common sense, not to mention any semblance of optics, made it pretty clear Brad Stevens wasn’t going to be the next coach.

1. Left college in 2014

2. Walked away from coaching altogether in 2021

3. Assembled a championship winning franchise 

4. Has the best roster in the NBA secured for the foreseeable future 

1+1 usually equals 2.

Whatever equation signals Brad Stevens coaching IU is why statistics is still an extremely tough course to pass.

Will do. Just let people have their fun. Life is too short to be the guy you’re trying to be.

Forgive me for trying to have a realistic conversation in the general coaching candidate thread this entire time. 

Now that the cat is out of the bag…
