I was waiting for someone to point this out. Goodman tweets, and a bunch of day old accounts show up to tell everyone how stupid they are. Imagine thinking Brad Stevens being a long shot was some galaxy brained secret to which only they were privy and smart enough to understand lmfao. The arrogance is almost impressive.
 

“Brad Stevens is never coaching at IU,” we told you so! Thanks Nostradamus, really going out on a limb with that prediction, gtfoh. 

I was out for dinner and came back to find the board overtaken by a bunch of new accounts dunking on the Stevens to IU possibility. Seeing @WayneFleekHoosiers post about all the twitter accounts changing their picks made some good points about why Goodman would reach out to Stevens camp. Twitter is a big platform and I am not sure if Stevens IU was trending prior to Goodmans tweet but there were enough burners with his picture and just tweeting his name that now it seems as if they were trying to force a reaction. We get a mild one and boom they infest this site .

Cronin has had a really good run as well and is one of the top coaches in the sport. Certainly better than our last two coaches by a significant amount.

Cronin is a very good coach.  Imo he is a high floor, low ceiling guy.  Which might be what IU needs.  I think he would consistently make the tournament here which is something we have lacked since the middle of Tom Crean's tenure.  He's just not very likeable.  We can do much worse than Mick Cronin.  I'm just hoping we can still do better.

This is what everyone is freaking out about? As @Artie86 said, that quote is far from him denying being a candidate and the only source of every article claiming that BS is out. 

So if Goodman actually talked personally with and got Stevens to say the above quote, why would he not ask him,"So are you not a candidate for the job?" Or did he and the above quote was the response?

Everything after this quote about not being a candidate is not a quoted  statement and not even something Goodman's  has the balls to claim as his own thoughts, but rather "sources say."

 

 

I don't know what the chances are or have been that Brad Stevens will coach IU, but this vanilla non denial is a giant leap to go to him saying he is not a candidate.

Well that and also this apparent DM exchange:

Don’t think you are. I take NOTHING as fact or lies. Just opinion and  information . I say to Chris 007 and all others to keep bringing it, I’m intelligent enough to make my own deductions. Only time will reveal the next Coach.

Bottom line post:  we are adults able to make our conclusions.  Anyone telling you what you are required think can piss off.

Now I'm not sure if I want Steven more as a coach or more as an F off to all the Debbie Downers.

Unfortunately  they will just transition to, "He hasn't coached college basket ball in over a decade..."

Chris beard would take us the to promised land. His name is not to be mentioned here though it seems.

You can go back about 150 pages ago and catch up on the Beard debate! It doesn’t need rehashed again!

Thank you for your cooperation!

Hmm, why would he not have quoted that? Why would he merely post "sources say."

I’m not ignoring football, but he’s not hiring a football coach. Everything basketball-related has been a disaster during his tenure. He’s got good PR with the “I wasn’t allowed to do my job” stuff, but at the end of the day, he’s the AD. The buck stops with him. The “they didn’t let me do my job” stuff just tells me he’s a yes men who’s afraid to make waves. 

To be fair, everything basketball-related has been a disaster for the past 25-30 years... there a lot of ADs who continued the downward spiral in that time frame... not defending Scott Dolson, per se,  but hasn't been the only AD who's failed to rebuild/restore basketball at IU.

observation:1.  If BS. Kinda has it made in Boston making enough money where it’s a non issue and just living it out there.

  2.  #1…If IU is throwing the farm at him much more money etc than what he is making in Boston and he can return to his roots and take on a new challenge and it’s fun so to speak for him he could put his unfinished mission in the college game.

conclusion:  Great to be in at the very least a win win situation….Pre-welcome to IU.

I imagine Mick will be available soon.  When UCLA fires him for not winning enough.

Nope. Goodman may have been approached by the Celtics or Stevens to put out a short statement to put some fires out till he is officially ready. It’s just so matter of fact, short and sweet. 
IMO, if I’m going to publicly separate myself from the IU coaching position once and for all, I’m going to release some more verbatim quotes to support this claim officially. 

I still have many questions about the events that went on yesterday

Completely setting aside Stevens, Goodman is such a goober. No offense to our new friend @Goober

Why is Cronin talking like we fired woodson? He is retiring our coaching search isn't the same as firing someone mid season!

He knows he was fired. We can call it whatever we want to help with the exit package but it was a firing and everyone knows rhat

Someone either posted it here or on Discord. Not sure where it originated. I keep bouncing back and forth.

can't say I hate his personality...although, Mike Woodson was never a National Champion

It just read as a generally classy post from one coach to another— it’s a community, it’s the right thing to say, and honestly does a reporter expect anything else? Cronin rubs people wrong for his sideline stuff and pos t-game press conferences, but talking about a fellow coach? Classy response and really no reason to think he’d say anything differently
