After listening to Michael Lewis this morning I think it’s going to be him.  He is offensive minded like Dolson stated he wanted (or something to that effect) He is also an IU guy that couldn’t have been hired yet due to being in the tourney still.  

Being an ASSISTANT coach, would one have to wait until eliminated like you would a HEAD coach? Just asking.

Def not that way in football. 

I remember Kevin Wilson coaching Oklahomas bowl game like the day after he was announced as our HC.

Pinch runner would be an understatement. Beilein is a really good coach. 

I meant that Beilein would need a pinch runner after hitting a double. I agree he is better than any IU former players.

Trade deadline in 10 mins

I’d put my money on Mark Turgeon to Oklahoma. Fits what he wants and I don’t think Oklahoma will get a much more “established” coach.

And he is just in time to meet the mythical "3 PM" announcement that was posted a few days ago!

The 3pm text, turned out to be when he addressed the team. It was thought that the announcement would be to a different tune, but apparently Ainge threw a sweet offer down that changed Stevens mind.

I’m not buying that extension every happened. There has been zero confirmation on that and things like that leak in the NBA. So if it wasn’t a raise what was it?

Ainge to the Masshole:  "I'm going to go out and get you Evan Fornier at the trade deadline sand unlimited Dunkin Donuts." 

[TheDarkKnight69 328]

Ok I watched the trade deadline and hate the NBA. So is Brad Stevens our coach now?

there was no raise he just didn't want to leave to coach IU. It is as simple as that.

What now, does that make Stevens an Okla-hole if there's such a thing?

For how much they charge in tuition, Dolson better be my pen pal.

Probably the most counterproductive thing you can do is email an AD.
