The irony being Stevens first boss and mentor leaving Boston and returning to Utah to try and resurrect them.  

Ainge didn't voluntarily leave Boston...

It was a mutual parting of the ways.

Let's just say that it's not going to be Stevens, May, Drew, Beard, Pearl, Oats, etc. Take away those names, who do you all feel are the 5 most likely candidates outside of that list?

 

Lloyd

McDermott

after that whatever midmajor makes the best pitch to Dolson.

Thank you appreciate it. Also, no one else takes the shots I do on a daily basis. Probably just means I post too much. We all want IU to hire the best coach possible.

That would be incredibly optimum.

Here's to hoping that is exactly the case.

Can anyone recap this post...my eyes are bleeding trying to get caught up.

He’s a Celtics fan not really an IU basketball fan.  Doesn’t mean he doesn’t know things but he’s one of the most biased posters you’ll ever see.

BGleas is a mod on another IU message board. You think that would happen if he wasn't an IU fan? Laughable.

It makes it entertaining. If everyone had the same opinion, frankly it would be pretty boring.

We are just hitting our stride too… Senior day this weekend and then we will sustain a fever pitch in here through the first weekend of the tournament/whenever we get actual media reports and an official announcement. Peak message board szn baby.

As it's been stated, there is an extremely likely chance Cronin can fight his way out of his buyout or drastically have it reduced given what has transpired at UCLA since signing his extension.

From everything I have read UCLA is in a real financial pinch.  Would seem they would want every dime they could get from that buyout, no?

Not supporting anything or shooting anything down, just saying it's completely normal for an NBA Pres of Bbal ops, GM, etc., to not be at one of his teams games. 

Of course they attend a lot, but certainly not all especially during the college bball season. 

So while you can infer signs from some things, Stevens not being at the Celtics game last night isn't really one of them on its own. 

I defended Chris the other day, but also going to defend @BGleas. He’s been around a long time as well, and always been a poster I’ve respected. He’s just offering his take because of his knowledge of the NBA side and working in the Celtics organization. BG is a good poster, never caused any issues!

Chris doesn't like being undermined because it hurts not only his feelings, but his ego.

Go troll elsewhere please

Only the IU administration could fumble hiring such a sure thing.

I would be surprised if IU hired someone who was on an FBI wiretap for the biggest hire in the history of their storied program.

 a trip to South Bend, 3:15 minutes from Bloomington

I did it in 2:20 once. There may or may not have been traffic violations and performance enhancers involved. Either way, the statute of limitations has well expired on that ride.

But he’s very young and would win big here.  But yeah not happening.  Inside the Hall did an article on him yesterday.

I don't think UCLA is going to voluntarily lower his buyout without pushback, no. But Cronin, via his agent and lawyer, has a legitimate case to sue UCLA because nothing in his current contract when he signed his extension says anything about UCLA switching conferences and flying 2000 miles and being on the road for a week at a time every other week. Rather than going to court, UCLA could ultimately agree to a reduced buyout.

I'm surprised we ever hired Yasir Rosemond after he got caught on the FBI wiretap.
