Plus, I have removed all potted plants from the office.

I was asking the same question earlier.  I think he brings a lot to the table, but he has been away from some time now and things have changed considerably since he last coached in college.  I was just wander how long does he get to prove himself if he is the guy.  Do we expect results in year 1 and what is acceptable in his first 3 to 4 years.

 

Let's face it.  Stevens has as many NCAA banners as I do.  :)  

Ok, but here is the thing.  Is the guy driven to adapt and succeed?  That's what you have to determine with every new coach.  Woody was clearly a no, no way, no how -- and the results speak for themselves.  Brad, he just may be a different person.  Being successful at Butler and then Boston shows he's willing to do what it takes.

Just wanted to share:

 

 

 

I am an IU Grad

 

I have lived in Bloomington for 30+ years post College

 

I work for IU

 

My spouse worked for IU Athletics

 

I am an IU Basketball Season Ticket Holder (and Football and IUWBB too)

 

I have even worked with DSUMMITT

 

We have a very very close friend that works in the Athletics Department with ties to Varsity Club

 

We met them out last weekend and of course I asked if they had any inside information on the coaching search ………

 

They have heard nothing. Absolutely nothing.

 

This is my way of saying that I really appreciate those that do hear things AND then share that information with this forum. Keep it coming.  

 

But boy do I have stories about Kelvin Sampson LOL.

 

Your 1st post was a roller coaster!!  Felt like this was building up to some big, juicy rumor and then THUD.  Nuthin.  Lol.

You can make up for it by spilling some of those Sampson stories while we're all waiting on some "soft chatter" IU coaching rumors.

All kidding aside, welcome aboard.

Good news and bad news. 

The Good News: The end is in sight. 

The Bad News: Administration doesn't like how hard the board was on Woodson. This thread has to exceed the length of the Retire Mike Woodson Thread before Brad is announced. Better keep posting!

Welcome aboard.  And don't let anyone else on the board know but as a mod, I could probably get rid of that Purdue Jockstrap label pdq for some of those Kelvin Sampson stories.   Operators are standing by for your call.   lol

That’s what so unreal about it.  UNC is making the exact same mistake IU made almost half a century ago.  It’ll end the same way for UNC as well.

If former coaches don't have insider information, then I don't know what to tell you.
