Ok, I was one of the last Brad holdouts. I had been told like others that he wanted to coach again but the timing was not right before. I was holding onto the stories that others had reported about offers and counter offers. However more recently I was told that he was not interested at all now because his daughter was playing on a state contending soccer team in Massachusetts and he was not willing to move her. There is also a chance with the change of Celtics ownership, he might have an opportunity for a minority equity stake.  That could dwarf IUs best offer. I also was told that he wouldn’t allow the discussion to get to talking dollars this time, so I discount the offer rumors. I have given up on that white whale dream, That having been said, I am underwhelmed with the possibilities on the board. If I had any confidence that Brad was a consideration in two years, I think Woody coming off a deep NCAA run might be preferable to four years of a second or third tier candidate that would be divisive and have a sizeable percentage of this board crowing about what an obvious stupid hire it was after every loss. I am sorry but this is getting tiresome

Is this one of those things where you tell someone something nice before them horrible news? Or is this C(K)athy with a new bizzarro process?

Oh and could anything be more divisive than a minute more of MW after seasons end?

Um, he wasn't -- for any of those. Which was my point. 

Nobody would associate his name with IU if he weren't from Indiana. 

 

Haven't we seen this movie before (MDW)?

Issac it's not going to break that fast. There are a lot of leaks but slow down. We have a couple more weeks

But if it breaks before noon, is Isaac redeemed? LOL

Osterman’s gonna drop a take about Liverpool’s back line at 11:55 today and at least 19 BTB readers are going to crap their pants.

Or just drop a cryptic OMG or something very vague and then will need to clarify that its not about IU after their feed gets overwhellmed with people thinking its about IUUUUUUU

Would be shocked if not broken before 11 but I'm giving myself an extra hour in case they are finalizing an indystar story to go with a tweet

Brad has signed. Will hear about this publicly before noon today. If not then disregard me forever. I TOLD you all to be patient and didn't listen but I'm in too good of a mood now

My man, sorry to see you go out like this!

Let’s just be grateful that Dolson did what he did at the time that he did it.  It’d absolutely be more messy if the “retirement” situation hadn’t been handled already.

Isn't it somewhat ironic that Woodson poked the bear (asking for status on year 5) at the time that he did? While the wheels may have been (probably were) already in motion behind the scenes, the King forced Dolson's hand and now MDW is locked out...
