If the podcast thing is true it shouldn’t be hard to find out.  I can’t blame him though I’d probably do it too

I might too, but I would never think I should be hired by Indiana University for the men's basketball program.

If I join, can I read retroactively or only from that moment on?

I’m 99% certain there’s no truth to that. He’s got no recent activity on Twitter. Clips of interviews would have surfaced by now if it were such a prevalent habit of his IMO. And undoubtedly the search firm would uncover this sort of activity, if it exists and to whatever degree it might, and Dolson would be able to take it under consideration.

Seems like it's settled down. I don't follow it enough to have a feel for things. 

Best I can tell someone who "allegedly in the know posted we are in good hands and a picture saying "winter is coming" whatever that means. 

It's not nearly as easy to follow as this forum.

Tell us now knowers!

This post was way undervalued. Should have atleast 100 likes. I laughed hard

He said it was hard to interpret, but said someone allegedly connected believe it’s Brad.

A question for the group. Matthieu Ricard, a French Buddhist monk, is generally considered the “happiest person on earth.” If he attended a dinner party with Hornsby, Scotty R, and AH1971, what would happen? My guess is he’d be chugging cyanide inside 10 minutes.

That’s gotta sting a little

Fire up the Brad news!!!

[JustWinBaby 1,997]

The vast majority of chatter and leaks come from the agent world. Brad Stevens' agent is his wife. So the circle of people involved in any deal that he might make is naturally going to be very tight; only his immediate family may know of his actual intentions.

When Brad was hired by the Celtics in 2013, it was a shocking move that no one saw coming. Zero leaks until well after the ink was dry.

In 2021 when Danny Ainge announced his retirement and that Brad would be his replacement, it again shocked the basketball world as no one saw it coming.

Every time Brad Stevens has made a major career move, it has happened under complete radio silence and without any leaks, in large part due to the fact that he's able to keep his circle extremely tight.

IF (and it's a big if) he were to come to IU, especially considering how high-profile this search has been, it's likely that such a move would follow the same pattern as his past career moves -- with a shocking announcement that catches everyone off guard.

I am not sure how to factor in every other data point (his statement to Goodman, the rumors from insiders with donor sources, etc). I'm just spitballing. I admit that I know nothing and am simply trying to read the tea leaves. But I do think looking at his past career moves is a fairly logical way to try to anticipate how a future move might go down.

Uh, that’s a Game of Thrones meaning that hardships and challenges are coming based on that quote. Pretty much a negative quote, in my opinion.

Trilly hasn't really had many bombs with this search other than he thinks McCollum favors Iowa and would have a whole lot of terms (at any new job) that he won't budge from.

While in the context of GoT that's what it means, a lot of folks use that gif to signal that a major change is coming. Good or bad.
