General Coach Candidate News

I had a Valentine’s dinner with my wife then went to the game with my family. Not sure what’s going on. Last I was told there was a verbal with Brad guaranteeing he would sign since we met his counter offer. I was told he didn’t want to sign this weekend due to the all-star game. The contract was written up, signed by the trustees and sent to Brad. I can explain in more detail later. If I let you down it’s my fault. I’m going to try to get answers this weekend. Love is still in the air. 

So there are a few options here.

1. Chris is the most elaborate troll of all time, spending 10+ years here, only to troll us once every 4 years when a coaching search happens and has other accounts to agree with the things he is hearing.  (Unlikely)

2. The source is bad and is spinning a fantasy story about Brad Stevens.  If Yeagley, Chris, etc. all have the same source, this could be the case.  I'm guessing they don't, but who knows. Unless it's a coordinated effort to just troll message board members.  

3. We didn't meet his demands.

4. He put out a vague "I like my job" message because he didn't want to distract from All Star Weekend and he is still planning on signing after.

5. Brad Stevens is trolling Scott Dolson.

 

In order of possibility I would rank them 2, 5, 4, 3, 1.  

It just doesn't make sense to give a 2 week deadline, then just 2 days later, say he will sign when we meet his counter offer, we then meet his counter offer, and then he immediately shuts it down when he gets the offer in hand. 

For the record, I don't blame Chris for any of this; for I certainly believe he was reporting what he was hearing.  

Note: It's day 4 for of Brad-Watch and I may just be losing my mind.

Skepticism is definitely warranted but it’s not like Chris would make this up for fun lol. I’m not saying I believe Stevens is still an option but it’s silly to think Chris would make all of his information up. 

Also not saying to get your hopes back up.

Oh, people still will.

Brad countered, we met his demands and he goes “alright I’m gonna enjoy all star weekend now, I’ll get to it Monday”

it’s unreal people buy this garbage man

About as unreal as making multiple accounts to repeatedly sh*t on your fellow fans.

Yes. Whoever’s sources is speaking out then it’s an all-time screwing.

Just curious, but why do you care if someone wants to listen to this idea?

All of the “insiders” this morning said it was a “done deal.”  Everyone lost their freaking minds. 2-3 hours later word comes out that BS isn’t a candidate. Crickets.  Then excuses after they can think of a cover story.  Lather. Rinse. Repeat. 
 

Why would anyone close to the hiring process be blabbing numbers?  Why haven’t those numbers been discussed by the media? 
 

I made a comment that we would hear from BS no later than next Tuesday 2/18 as if I actually knew something. Everyone lost their minds for a moment. It was too easy to get everyone fired up. I’ve been lurking on this site for 4-5 years and I’ve seen the same stuff repeated just like this over and over again. It’s crazy how many keep buying into it.

They are not trolls. They are longtime legitimate posters who have had good track records when reporting on things they have been told

Chris, I don’t mean this as disrespect, but I find this hard to believe.

For one, that we would offer this much. For 2, that the squabble is over 8 million over 10 years. If he wanted the job, he’d take it at 9.2, 10 doesn’t do anything extra for him.

I’m not even saying I don’t think he could still be an option, because I could see why they want to lower the temp for a couple weeks.

Anyway, happy Valentines day Hoosiers on a brutal day of fandom.

Our admin got us into this mess and our boosters tried their best to get us out of it.

I’m expecting we pay someone around 6 a year. Possibly Dusty. Maybe someone else. Go from there.

It’s 100% BS. If you’re still buying this crap at this point, it’s on you. 
 

Several years and tens of millions into his tenure with Boston, Brad was still driving a Mazda. This isn’t a guy who can be bought, and it’s certainly not a guy who will make a decision based on 9.2M vs 10M.

So what you’re saying is you’re having an emotional breakdown over it.  Got it.

Hopefully no one is still buying this stuff.  If this info was so easy to find out, or there are that many people blabbing this info to their friends, the media would be all over it. Plus, why would anyone with actual knowledge of this coaching search be so willing to give this info away? Come on, y’all. Surely you aren’t this gullible. 

I guess I am. I checked it out with a few very high donors who were putting up lots of the money, couple journalists who write about IU and someone in the know. They all had the same info. The donors still stand behind it.

Eh, maybe. That finish was rough and would’ve been a collapse if Mgbako makes a bunny or hits a wide open 3

The bunny should have been made if you have a mental toughness about you but that last play should have been for Goode, IMO

So you 'lurked' on this site for four or five years and then decided to join a week ago and tell everyone they are full of ****?
