You seem to be dealing in absolutes. So I'm going to need to clarify if you're a sith or if you have some serious connections within the program so I know whether to mentally lightsaber your head off 

Wait until you find out its both

 

lol, i have some decent connections. There are definitely people more plugged in than i am, but if I am sharing it on here than i have confirmed it with more than just one person.

The money we are going to pay Stevens has been raised by Boosters. 

If he turns it down does the money stay in the pot to get a different top tier coach? Or does the money available lessen?

Direct talks with May haven't started so this theory is incorrect. 

But direct talks did happen last offseason, correct?

....Would Brad like us more if we put together a "Go Fund Me", from the FANS wanting him to come home to IU? ;) lol!!!

Those questions will get ironed out later.

I say this with all sincerity.  After spending all weekend hitting refresh on this thread, we don't really know anything about who the next coach will be.  Some are speculating IU has their guy without actually saying who that guy is.  The rest has been banter back and forth about how candidate A, B, or C would or wouldn't fit as the next coach at IU.  

Yesterday I decided that I wasn't going to stay on here and check-- to have a life.  Yet, here I am as my students are busy working on an assignment that I assigned by design to give me free time to check out the newest gossip.  I need to get a life.

No way could you get away with making that movie in this era.

The remake was proof of that.  It sucked

Our chance with Pitino was over 20 years ago when the boosters had him lined up, but the Administration hired Mike Davis to give RMK the finger by hiring his former assistant.  PItino went to UL and the rest is history.  

Rick's wife wasn't fond of Bloomington either. She wanted to live in a big city so they settled on Louisville :-)

If he weren't 72 going on 73, he'd be my #1 by a country mile. Think he'll finish where he is at though. 

He would probably bring his team over, hit the ground running, and be more likely to make a FF in the next 3-4 years than half the names thrown around in this search.

No surprise. His buyout is basically “let me see what happens in Bloomington first”

Good guy Scott Dolson. Gets both Brad and Dusty paid in one cycle.

Indiana Basketball is likely going to get a lot of coaches paid this offseason.

I’m pretty sure peegs said they’ll have their second coaching hot board today. We can discuss about that whenever it comes out. 

I think Rabby is sick or something so it might not come out today. He missed his 9 AM radio appearance

"Working this morning. I was here on the board Sunday night, it's now Monday morning."

His answer to why.

I don't think we will hear anything for a while so go ahead and make those kids learn something :-). Then slack off before and after spring break whenever that is.

Me too but here we are.  I am going to leave it up to Dolson to make the call, I am too old to get in these types of conversations, and I suck at them.  I wouldn’t have made a good lawyer, that’s for sure.  I leave my parting thoughts on Brad Stevens and others.  Now this is just a thought, but if BS is actually going to be the coach, wouldn’t they make that announcement within the next week or two so he can start getting a jump on the transfer portal?  If it goes any longer than that, then it will someone else and not BS. Thoughts?
