If anyone has been consistent it’s been @Nonymouse. I don’t even care if he/she has sources, I need the consistency in my brain that Brad isn’t coming. Never ever. No chance at all. If we adopt this mindset...hell if Brad sticks his head out the window driving down 37 one day then we got closer than we expected.

You hurt my feelings. I thought we were tight. I'm taking my Brad Stevens news and going home.

I think if we don’t hear news by this week, I take that as a good sign. I think that means that Dolson is at least reaching out to those in the tourney still AND/OR Stevens still (wishful thinking). I’m not at the point of panic and don’t think anyone should be unless we haven’t heard anything after 2 more weeks.

I agree.

There's no way Scott is just sitting around waiting for Oats to get done with the dance. He has to have an idea there is a coach still coaching who wants the job. 

We don't have a name by tomorrow then the Indiana alum are out the running IMO.

I'd turn on my Twitter notifications if I were you guys. We might get something today. 

Yea there could be some trades today. Could see where Oladipo is going.

He did appear back on the Vegas odds yesterday

We sure that is Vegas? Looked like an offshore book.

Might be. I'm a terrible gambler.

I’m still of the belief it’s Brad Stevens until I see IU hire a coach not named Brad Stevens

[madmax 457]

Brad literally reiterated yesterday that his interest in the job was just rumor mill stuff. The only way that I would even see a slimmer of hope would be if Boston decides to completely clear house and tank before the trade deadline, but there is zero reason to believe that this will happen.

Timing. We're at Day 10. We've hired all our new coaches by March 31st in recent years. We hired Archie on March 25th. 

I don't have any sources, I just think we'll have news soon. 

Agree for a different reason. I believe the reports about Matta which means Dolson had no grand plan for some home run hire, he just wanted to get rid of Archie. While I think the IU guys would wait until the first week of practice next fall and still take the job I think Dolson has probably an agreement with someone and didn't want to steal the thunder from the IU women's team yesterday.

I agree man. Sometimes the answer comes when u look at things from a common sense standpoint.  To me it's obvious he knows who he wants and is just waiting on something due to timing. Otherwise an IU guy would be named or even Beilein for that matter. Assuming that's what we r realistically down to.

If we don't have a deal by tomorrow then I don't think it's the following

Alford, Woodson, Fife, Lewis, Cheaney. 

 

Beilein too.

Yep, and when he mentioned the rumor of him going to Indiana, he and the reporters laughed out loud, at us...  How many times does he have to insult us before everyone moves on?  He really is a Masshole now, IMO. He's never ever ever coming back...

Say it is Oats that wants the job and Dolson is waiting on the tournament. What happens if Alabama wins the damn thing? I don’t see him leaving. Do we circle back around to a Woodson or Beilein at that point?

Hah! I wasn't saying he/she has been more consistent than others. We all love you here Chris!! Only saying Nonymouse has been consistent in their Stevens isn't coming stance. For my mental sanity, I need to believe that.

Yeah I don't see Oats leaving then either. I think Oats is unrealistic with the buy-out honestly. 

If we don't land a tourney guy then I imagine we're landing an IU guy or John. I'd go with John. Title game three years ago. He's the best coach available imo.

Laugh at me, call me dumb, whatever. I still think it might be Brad.

[Hurryin' Hoosiers 2,042]

I definitely think we're landing a guy, one that is in the tourney or not in the tourney.
