Big wink update. First, I haven’t been given “everything,” just a “big wink” in response to the appropriate big wink questions from the big wink contact who makes big wink financial contributions who would not pony up big wink money without first getting his own big wink from a big wink financier that a big wink contract would only be going to a big wink hire. Here you go…

The first name of our next coach begins with B. The last name of our next coach does not begin with B. See you all in a few weeks and enjoy the tournament!

Let's ride

If @Chris007 has 3 supporters I am one of them. If he has one supporter I stand alone. If he has no supporters then BTB is rubble or I am in the grave

Absolutely love the @Chris007 info - i fell like 95% of us do - honestly it's one of the reasons i stay on this board and not the 4 others i belong to - new ideas, rumors, and inside info aren't automatically rejected or freaked out about.

Ben and Buzz don’t seem to qualify as big wink, if I’m understanding that term correctly 

Agreed...I think 99% percent would agree with this.

I think she will be a Junior.  Parenting is also considering what is best for the family.  It is not like BS needs any money.  

Key word is ‘family’ and not one individual member of family. Supposedly, this would not just be a run of the mill job opportunity for BS.

Maybe not for some/most, but go look at who’s getting big winked at and who started the Ben McCollum thread on this site lol.

I think people may have been told BS and thought Stevens when it was Self

For those wanting an Alford related update from New Castle....

The Giant Shoe in front of the Steve Alford Inn remains Blue and White today.   

It was always so weird to see a UCLA shoe out there.

Pretty big list... Brad Stevens, Ben McCollum, Billy Donovan, Buzz Williams, Bruce Pearl, and Bill Self.  Also really unlikely names like Brian Dutcher, Brad Underwood, and Bryce Drew.  Who am I missing?

Ouch. Might wanna get some ice on that beef.

I never thought we’d get to the point of debating big winks vs Little winks (blinks?) on this thread. We’re losing our minds.

Well, since I’d rather discuss this completely accurate post that is not indicative of confirmation bias, there are only 4 big wink names in your list. At least, that the big wink money would consider big winks.

nothing comes up.

I don't want to create arguments, call out sources, or even worse, reveal sources, but I'll say, [mention=7005]Chris007[/mention] is way more tuned in than some give him credit for. After reading some of the recent updates, and seeing how this is playing out, I can confirm the guy has been pretty spot on in all of this. We've shared some private messages, and he knows his stuff. We should be thankful to have him, and many others, sharing their info here. 

Great post!!

Peegs has "soft" and "hard" chatter.
BTB's got "Big" and "little" winks
