$11M would make him the highest paid NBA exec, more than Pat Riley.  I highly doubt that.  $4-7M/yr or something makes more sense.

Coyle could definitely be wrong of course.

Because there is nothing stopping Brad from leaving the Celtics today, start putting together a staff, and begin scouting for the portal.  There’s no reason not to and zero reason for the Celtics to want him to stick around if he’s already leaving.  Guys like Drew, Beard, McCollum, etc still have teams to coach and are going dancing.  Night and day scenario.

It's actually not. IU can't introduce or officially hire a coach while Woodson is still coaching unless he signed off. He isn't going to do that. There's a reason Jerry gave the timeline he did.

No one knows how much BS makes anyways, Celtics are private.

True.  Wouldn't be the first time with him...

Why is McCollum the only candidate to have his own thread?

Because they locked the Ben McCollum thread I created four years ago. That could’ve lived on as a Ben McCollum watch party, fan club, and central clearing house for custom Ben McCollum t-shirts and coffee mugs, awareness for when he is in town for book signings and starting his own tequila brand, etc.

I saw him wearing it at the Michigan game in the concessions under the seats and thought it was Epps but wasn’t sure what Epps looked like.  Now I do lol.

The obvious reason for Stevens to wait, if it’s him, is old school coaching omertà. One of the things we all like about Stevens is his character and calm demeanor. It seems very plausible to me that he would want to keep things quiet out of respect to the current staff and roster.

I just can’t see any scenario whatsoever where he has already agreed to take the job but hasn’t informed the Celtics.  He would burn so many bridges.

And no, I’m not saying IU should’ve announced anything by now.  I would definitely expect something from the Celtics side.

Heck, in retrospect Baylor was trying to do us a favor by dissuading HP.

thanks . . . i've spent last few minutes rewatching Hanner's HS highlights on youtube - if only we ran the open dunk system, would have been a legend

I just read on here that several college coaches could already have the IU job but it wouldn't be announced till their team was done playing in the tournament. How is that different with Brad? It seems a lot of people on this board try to hold him to a different standard than other candidates. Almost like some people on here would be upset if he is the guy.

I have heard many reasons why it would be kept quiet for now. But the one I will say is because I don't know that there has been anything signed as of today. 

I'm not suggesting there should be confirmation from Brad Stevens that he's taking the IU job or anything like that. I'm just wondering why there have not been any rumors or sourced information coming from the NBA or Boston Celtics insiders and everything concerning Brad Stevens has come from the IU side with the exception of the unconvincing Jeff Goodman tweet/story. I certainly would not be upset if he was the guy, far from it. Anyway, thanks for the information you share, as always!

Why am I getting this disgusting Purdue ad on my socials?

Its blasphemy 

Because the disgusting scat porn you are watching is associated with Purdue fans. Do better. 

I would not be upset at Scott Drew and think it's much more likely than the fantasy of Stevens (>0.1%)...... but still don't buy it. Drew seems settled at BU.

This is a fair point but maybe the people in Boston like him as much as he likes them and they’re keeping it quiet out of respect to his wishes? It wouldn’t be a big circle. Someone like Mike Zarren knows how to keep a secret.

So, on announcement day can we get Dolson in a room with a table full of hats.  Each hat has a potential new coach's name on it and then he picks the winner.   Put it on peacock and generate more money to pay off the buyout.  At the end of the day, it will be the coach from IUS or some other out of left field name we were not expecting.  

Still jaded from the last cycle.
