I think it just seems that way because there are a disproportionate number of posts saying Stevens is in play. What do you think would happen if you said Turgeon was in play. 

Which he is. There should be a lot of post on our #1 candidate. One person has suggested Turgeon is in play.

Thing with Pitino is you can use the same playbook you have for recruiting players.  Jankos and night moves always seals the deal.

Don’t be surprised when IU has black uniforms with the red script later tonight.

Is it a sign for stevens?

I've got Boston Terriers snuggled up beside me. So I'm sending Boston vibes out to the bball gods

I saw that earlier, he looks like a televangelist getting ready to slay some spirits 

I was like WTF did he borrow Colonel Sanders suit?

He's also a 100yrs old and a total bag of sheet.

Yes. He’s too old now. I would’ve gladly taken him 20 years ago.

Man, with all this bickering, I’m glad we will know who our coach will be at 3 tomorrow.

He is old (72 I think) but I wouldn't be surprised if he tried to go another 10 years.

Why is the Prince of Darkness wearing white after Labor Day? Geez Sammie Terry would be pissed.

How silly is it that “white after Labor Day” is still a thing in 2025?

Happy Saturday friends. The sun is shining, beers on schedule to flow at noon MST, Hoosiers are going to make the tourney, and Brad Stevens is checking realtors in the Bloomington area. Let's have a great day! 

I thought you only like Diet Coke…you’re not the real Tom Crean.

Finally sitting down to watch Ole Miss game so that I can scout Beard. All this back and forth has peaked my interest 

Exciting game so far

Pitino would have been a great hire in 2001.  Shame that search committee didn’t interview anyone…

He would have won a lot if he got the job back then, maybe a title, though we probably would have had navigate some sort of off court incident when he was here lol.  Overall he likely would have been a big net positive.  Just another what-if in IUBB lore.

Stupid comments are frowned upon. 

Absolutely true.

Generally allowed, but frowned upon.

Evidently you can’t read very well. My numbers are for their entire career. Even using you numbers he’s slightly better than Alford. We can do better. Stick that where the sun doesn’t shine. Now that’s funny.

Better like? Brad Stevens? I agree. Better like.... Nate Oates? I agree.

He feels like a potential Gonzaga replacement whenever Few retires

Which Gonzaga has their own NIL problems. Don’t you know Few is our backup hire if Stevens doesn’t sign.

Before the search started his name was one that was mentioned that his agent had reached out.

Maybe I’m wrong on this, but I feel like a good agent would reach out to any decent opening, which the IU spot would certainly be lucrative, just to see. It wouldn’t be an instance of interest from a candidate, but rather an agent doing his job.
