He's also "only" 54. So we could still have a 15 year run with him.  So only 6 years older than BS or Otzelberger.  He's been around forever so he feels older.  I'd be surprised if he left too; but don't think you can say no thanks if he expresses interest. 

Yes, he does seem like he’s been around forever lol..and I really do think he’s the best suited for a religious school

He went a little haywire about naming a date, time and station

That post to me felt like a joke, almost a tongue in cheek reaction to everyone calling him a troll. My best guess is that he was reading all the insider posts here and started creating his own fanfic in his head. Then when folks called him out he jumped off the deep end, never to be seen again. lol

You could be right. For some reason, I think he will come back on March 1st and give us another date.

I hope brad saw some of the second half yesterday. That 28-3 run had assembly hall Eletric. Best place on earth:)

Not disclosing information like this could have extremely damaging effects on the deal overall. If Brad knew he was leaving, those conversations would have had to have happened at this stage of the sale. Otherwise it could kill the entire deal.
 

Not trying to sound pretentious here but I have some experience dealing with M&A. High profile acquisitions like this come with extreme due diligence. 
 

The buyers will want to have stability for the transition. Losing the league’s top front office executive may be perceived as potential instability.

Unless the new owners have their own guy lined up, it’s likely they’ll want him to stay so things continue to run smoothly. 
 

None of this means “therefore he wouldn’t leave”. It just means that at this stage of the process, his intentions would have to be made clear. 
 

It can really complicate things. 
 

The only thing I might disagree with here is whether that matters for an asset like a professional sports team versus a publicly traded company. The value of the Boston Celtics isn’t at risk due to the President (potentially) leaving, or subject to market volatility. I’m not sure Stevens having one foot out the door would torpedo a sale of the Celtics the way it could for a privately held or publicly traded company.

What do your sources say about it?

[Papacap 2,003]

I’m not going to believe anything until I see it from Gojko.

I have never heard of a date. All I have ever heard was Brad has respect for Woodson and wouldn't want to do anything to disrupt the season.

Our Indiana as spoken in Texan:  YEEEEHAW

Indiana, Our Indiana,
Y'all, we’re rootin’ for ya! 
We’ll fight for that cream and crimson,
For the glory of old IU,
Ain’t no fear, we won’t back down,
In the tussle, we’re tried and true.
Indiana, Our Indiana,
Y’all, we’re all for ya!

Well, someone did make a shrine to BS back in 2021 and put it front of Assembly Hall

The one thing that most people need to realize sometimes.

People like Chris, RTZ, Jerry, GP and AP tell us what they are hearing. Whether it comes to fruition or not, doesn’t make them a troll or a liar. What they are hearing today, February 24th, may be correct and accurate info TODAY. That could change tomorrow. People change their minds all the time. None of us on here are taking directly or thinking for Brad Stevens or “insert coach here”.
So many people get offended or call them trolls, etc if what they say doesn’t happen. They aren’t on here spreading BS (bull sh*t) rumors for fun. They say what they hear from a source. That source could embellish it or the info just straight up changes because person changed their mind or whatever. Either way, Regardless of what happens, we are lucky to have them all here and saying what they hear. Better times are ahead for IU regardless, because Woodson is gone. In saying that, LETS GO BRAD. LETS GO HOOSIERS.

Thank you for reading, now back to our regular scheduled programming.

I will when I have heard from someone I trust that it is a done deal. Some others have heard things like that but I have not. 

Also I thought it was done last time, people believed me, I felt I let them down and I got some really nasty emails from people. Just trying to avoid that

I’ll send you a really nasty email even if you’re right so we cover all the bases? It’ll be a video of Woodson’s intro press conference. Doesn’t get nastier than that.
