Question for anyone who pays attention to trillyanon: when’s the last time he accurately dropped something IU related before anyone else? It seems like everything that leaks off that paid site is just regurgitated from insiders here and elsewhere. It would be awesome if Drew was the guy, but it’s also not exactly being Miss Cleo to think a “done deal” would only probably involve like three candidates with Dusty off the board. Stevens, Drew, or Beard, imo. Otherwise, there’s no telling where the search goes if it’s not actually a done deal. 

Trilly has said his connections aren't that great at IU right now. He hasn't heard too much on this one that we didn't already hear elsewhere. He was the first person to say he heard about Scott talking to AAU coaches which has been deliberated here and elsewhere since.

Why am I getting this disgusting Purdue ad on my socials?

 

Its blasphemy

Exactly.  The Celtics are paying Brad $11M a year.  If he already had a foot out the door someone would know something and something would’ve leaked well before now.  He’s not staying in that position and taking that kind of money if he had already agreed in principle to take the Indiana job.  Just no way.

11million a year would be astronomical for a first time gm. I think its high but not that high

Would Dolson be talking with AAU coaches to see how much the Hanner Perea thing would impact Drew’s recruiting?

My understanding is that due to his position as President of basketball operations, the only person BS reports to is the owner. I can see it as being possible that he has told his boss, and he is keeping the secret. Other than that, lawyers and agents have legal reasons to be quiet. So it is possible for the leaks to only come from the IU side, where more people are involved.

That makes some sense...I don't necessarily believe it but that is a plausible explanation. Thanks!

The thing that was quoted was they were looking at a 'non college option' for next year. Wouldn't apply to Drew in that case. It's been a couple weeks at this point though. It was the day before the Goodman tweet.

I really want to believe the Brad Stevens stuff. I am, by no means connected, but I do know there are people that give a lot of money to IU and are connected that believe Brad Stevens to IU is a done deal. They have not waivered. My biggest reason for not being able to be "all in" on belief is that all of this stuff comes from the IU side of things. It's either IU donors or sources or insiders or whatever you want to call it. I understand no legitimate journalist can publish anything but there has been no information coming from the NBA side or the Boston side. As far as I know, not a single insider/source from that side of things has come out and given any credence whatsoever to "Brad to IU" being a done deal or real or even considered. Why would that be the case? If there were actually a signed deal or a verbal agreement, if it was that far along, why would nothing come from the NBA side or the Boston side? I'm not saying the posters like RTZ or Chris or JerryYeagley23 or any others are wrong but I'd love to hear opinions on why I'm just being too pessimistic.

I just read on here that several college coaches could already have the IU job but it wouldn't be announced till their team was done playing in the tournament. How is that different with Brad? It seems a lot of people on this board try to hold him to a different standard than other candidates. Almost like some people on here would be upset if he is the guy.

I have heard many reasons why it would be kept quiet for now. But the one I will say is because I don't know that there has been anything signed as of today.

Add me to the list of not very impressed with Trilly's coach search info.  I'm not saying he can't be right, but so far pretty meh, and I'm skeptical of what he reports.  Just my opinion.

He wasn't talking to the guy about Perea or Drew. It was a guy and not multiple coaches.

The Celtics GM makes 1.5 million but I'm sure Brad makes more being President but no way he makes 11 LOL

Heck, in retrospect Baylor was trying to do us a favor by dissuading HP.

Because there is nothing stopping Brad from leaving the Celtics today, start putting together a staff, and begin scouting for the portal.  There’s no reason not to and zero reason for the Celtics to want him to stick around if he’s already leaving.  Guys like Drew, Beard, McCollum, etc still have teams to coach and are going dancing.  Night and day scenario.

$11M would make him the highest paid NBA exec, more than Pat Riley.  I highly doubt that.  $4-7M/yr or something like that makes more sense.

Coyle could definitely be wrong of course.

It's actually not. IU can't introduce or officially hire a coach while Woodson is still coaching unless he signed off. He isn't going to do that. There's a reason Jerry gave the timeline he did.

No one knows how much BS makes anyways, Celtics are private.
