I can understand the skepticism.  Though, Jerry has said after the B1G tournament the entire time.  He hasn’t changed that stance one bit.  I definitely believe him about being told to quiet down.  As always, time will tell.  I’m still rolling with Stevens as the next coach.

He’s been told to keep quiet by the athletic department?  That would imply they know his identity.  I can’t imagine he would ever get any inside info again if true.

Flavor of the month? Even with that terrible year last year he’s at 56% wins in the SEC. And that Missouri team was a bottom feeder before him. Did the same at Cleveland St. 

And as Hamilton’s top assistant and lead recruiter at FSU? Here’s a graphic of Gates’ last five seasons at FSU, followed by the five seasons that followed:

Gates is young, but he’s been a chosen one for a very long time.

I’ve got a couple FSU grads down here and they want Gates big time. They are worried about coaxing him to the ACC before they get out of the grant of rights and into a different conference. They think he’s all but a lock other than that.

Come on....flavor of the month again....some coach nobody was discussing because he should NOT be on the list, beats a top ranked team and all of the sudden hes on the list? Come on....this usually happens during the tournament....Gates is NOT IU bound.

If I recall correctly @Stuhoo mentioned Gates pretty early in the discussion. It was only minimally discussed at the time, but some did have him on the radar. He's just not a sexy name yet.

I thought he had some crazy high buyout

He said in his post that he was asked to be a little more quiet.  I don’t know anything else beyond that.

I wouldn’t be surprised if SD had communication with one or more individuals affiliated with AAU to get feedback on what went wrong with current and previous coaches and to get opinions on what they’d like in a new coach. There is zero chance that they were told that there is an agreement with anyone. No way SD would trust them with that info to not be leaked.

You are exactly right he never said there was an agreement in place. He actually said he was talking to someone who wasn't a college coach right now. He was hoping to hear if they wanted the job in the next two weeks.

Way too specific. Everyone would know who that is.

I doubt that it would smell worse than most of the last 25 years of IU basketball.

Besides, would I really notice?  I worked at a wastewater treatment facility for a couple of years.  

We had a saying...your waste is our bread and butter.

Just pretend it's chocolate. 

You are one sick individual but true about the last 25 years.

Speaking of senior night, do Leal and Galloway get recognized again?  It made zero sense to have them go through the ceremony last year when they had already announced they were coming back.  Senior night used to seem special.  I feel like it has lost its specialness over the years.  

I haven't even shed some tears yet.

After Friday, Scott told many people to hush it whether it was a few people in the department who might think they know what is going on or some of the big-time boosters who are putting up the money to pipe it down.

You are correct, he probably told his entire department as well as others.  It wasn’t just directed only at JY!
