I know you didnt say this but if Brad is the guy, what makes people say that we "got our guy"?

Timing of a lot of things.

First the announcement that Woodson would not return on the same day of the nba trade deadline. Announcing the position would be open makes other schools who could positionally worry about losing their coach, start to talk contract extension. Which leads me to believe that Scott knew that wouldn't be an issue because he's in the NBA. 

With the Celtics being sold if brad was ever going to leave (excluding retirement) it would be now. There are some other minor details but the timing has me really interested.

I wonder if we get a coach like Williams or any other SEC would they be able to convince those type of athletes to come play in the big ten. It seems like there are talk out there that the top recruits don't want to play in the big ten.

Given that players were willing to come play in Mike Woodson’s system of all things, I think we could get players to play on the moon for enough NIL.

No white suits. 

True story, in the late 90s/early 2000s my middle school in northern NJ had a JV basketball coach with a VERY Italian name (think Vincenzo Pagliuca or Michelangelo Forgione lol) and he would wear an all white suit to his games multiple times every season lol.

His teams were not good but every year he'd give the parents a bottle of wine from his "family vineyard" each season so at least he was winning in some way while cosplaying as Pitino

As a vest guy, you don’t know what you’re missing. The freedom of movement with no jacket, while still announcing “I’m 100% classy” is hard to beat. I can brick a couple J’s in the driveway waiting on my wife to be ready and not worry about the tie getting in the way of my silky jumper. It’s the best of both worlds. 

There's so much to digest here. 

First, "announcing I'm 100% classy?" While "hard to beat," that is awkward.

And foremost? You are apparently hanging out on your driveway wearing nothing but a tie and a silky jumper is just plain disturbing.

Here is a question?

Say Dolson lines up Stevens. Does he give his buddy, Dusty, a heads up before the announcement to allow him to use the leverage before it is lost?

Interesting question. Not sure what he should do, but Dolson's focus should be on improving Indiana's situation... Dusty has people to do that research...

My name wouldn't be one anyone would recognize lol. I happen to have lucked into some friendships of people in particular places. My intel would be useless if those people left. I share what i hear, if i cant confirm it i don't share it without stating so. Happy to be here!

IU has reached out to Beard as of last week. I am not buying the stevens talk. I think IU will try but it is a pipedream. Although we were at the game Saturday, sitting in our suite eating and dolson and Cindy simon skodjt were talking Stevens. It was hard to hear exactly but his name was definitely the topic of conversation.

I'm going to read your posts in Steve Buscemi's voice from now on lol.

If you like Sopranos and The Wire, assume Boardwalk Empire is also up your alley

I do not believe IU has reached out. I think it was beard who did.

Everyone has their own opinions. Respect for sharing it!

We're gonna need you to wear a wire to the next game while you're in the suite. Please and thank you.

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. 

I'm doing the exact same thing right now ... it's why fan is short for fanatic!

“You thought today’s crowd was nice? Wait until you see this place with Brad Stevens coaching and we’re at top 10 team”

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

Rabby was lacking faith in me so I ate him...
