Good opportunity for this graphic... Mike Lewis as Thaddeus Young, in this case.

You should change your name to “liar liar pants on fire.”

yeah, my point was that no one will believe any insight that isn’t what they wanna hear. I’ve been saying for weeks Stevens has been 100% out from the jump. He just doesn’t wanna leave the Celtics for IU. Period.  Of course it makes total sense, because leading the Celtics organization is a better job than coaching at IU, but no one buys that someone may know it for a fact because cognitive dissonance has a stranglehold on this board.  

The issue is, none of this is dealing in “facts”. You thinking it’s a fact he ain’t coming shows you are just as bad as anyone thinking he will come is a fact. Actually, I haven’t seen anyone say that he is for sure coming, so you’re worse. You are either just trying to get people riled up, or you’re delusional enough to really believe you know something no one else does. Maybe both. 
Also, your “insight” that the Celtics job is better than the IU coaching job is subjective. He may miss coaching. Could be that simple. Or, he may want to be known as the man who brought IU back to blue blood status. So, continue to feel like you need to save people from their delusions on a free message board where most are just passing the time until we know something and having some fun in the meantime.

Ted Lasso is trying his hand at basketball? You guys are really beating poor Old Fart up with all these trips down to the well to pick up more bandwidth. Perhaps the mods should invest in a bandwidth mine and send anyone banned there for hard labor.

Has anyone seek @IU - Kaulie around?  We need a check in from her and her search thoughts!

Thank you for recapping what you posted lol this time I don’t have to ask for cliff notes to find out what I missed several pages back. 

But to add if it is Brad which I'm not totally out on yet, things were so far along back on Feb 14, that people signed something to keep quiet so that is why we are hearing more about Scott Drew and TJ now. There is a lot out there and not many people know what is real and what is not.

Don't know if one happens or not.

We don’t want Beard and we’re going to end up with Brad Brownell…

Yikes

It was never going to last forever.  Back to the bottom you go.

No, you want it to be 100% in this case.  You don’t know jack.

Brownell is 0% chance.  There’s no way IU hires him.

Dude has Clemson rolling in the ACC and has done terrific with NIL and team building. I would take him in front of most of these second tier coaches plus he’s a Hoosier and would represent with pride home state pride.

Attention Attention The Mid-Day blitz is now over. I repeat the mid-day blitz is now over. Please go back to doing whatever you were

Also still have room on the Brad train if anyone wants on. 

Or get on the Road to Zion(sville).  

Cmon Scott find a way to get it done!

[WayneFleekHoosier 49,825]

Unfortunately Tucker was a bad fit for this current roster. Woody LOVES the midrange despite its analytics and so does Tucker.

 

He’s ok at that, kinda, maybe.

 

But you have to be layup level accurate for it to be a good shot. Otherwise take the 3 pointer and he’s awful at that.

 

Combine that with a roster of one 3 point shooter and you have bad chemistry.

 

A good coach could have got Tucker to use his height and athleticism to be a playmaker going to the rim instead of settling for crappy shots all the time.

Idk for sure

Best answer yet. In all essence the realistic top 10 to 15 remain Schrödinger's cat - each candidate is our next coach and isn't -  yes there's obviously different levels of probability but honestly at this stage and the 'close mouthed' nature of the search I'd say the probability amplitude depth has so many variables that we are discussing just realistically the strengths and weaknesses of each candidate then really doing much in the way of eliminating possibilities. Either way I enjoy it - but am very skeptical of any 100% claims either way.

Are we, the active posters of BTownBanners, collectively experiencing a mass psychosis because of this coaching search? It’s pretty hilarious having the same convo with you guys every other day in here. Never change fellas.

ACC sucks 

[HoosierPapi4 191]

I want to know where IssacTor is at right now. Could use a dose of his positivity about now. Even if it’s outlandish lol

Trevor’s hearings about TJO: people don’t think he’s leaving Iowa State anytime soon, but if he were going to it’d be a midwest school with rich bball history. Brought up the fishbowl argument as well. 

I love how the Peegs guys try to play it both ways and contradict themselves in the same post. Doesn't want to be in a fishbowl but if he left it would be for a school like IU.

[GP711 727]

fwiw we are still in a good spot from my viewpoint

Dude, it's Hornsby. Most of his posts are so over the top ridiculous. It's what he does.

He's probably hoping the hire will be Bronwell (who everyone else knows as Brownell) so he can continue his schtick. 

[Hornsby 3,117]

I’d guess he feels his path to the NBA got seriously derailed this year and he and his family are worried.  He’s so gone.
It’s too bad.  He seemed like a nice kid and I liked his academic strengths.  He appears to have been chewed up by Woody’s bad program from what I can tell.

Another five star bust under Woodson. Will probably do well with a different coach.
