Didn’t Dolson say in the press conference something about having the next coach be there for a long time?  I turned over to JMV right after and it might have been him who said that though. If Scott, it would seem to eliminate Beilein 

I am not sure if he said that, but he definitely said they were "not excluding anyone."

No disrespect intended, but I don't believe donors contribute to a $10M buyout to get Nate Oats, Eric Musselman, or even Scott Drew. 

I hate being optimistic sometimes, but I'm feeling like Dolson's in the process of reeling in a really big fish.

Why are the Celtics currently struggling, do his players like him and would he consistently recruit top talent are a few questions I have.

Glass said that about every hire... means nothing... kind of like when a politician or a preacher says "in closing..." :D

Well the last 4 (FOUR!) hires had the theoretical chance to coach for 20 years.  Hiring an almost 70 year old would eliminate that possibility.

Fair enough... but my point is that saying that is easy... the proof is in the doing.

I wouldnt read too much in to the $10 million buyout number. Its a lot of $$ to most of us but not much to many wealthy donors.

Tbh...I don't think you ask questions. If Dolson even thinks that Brad could be convinced to take the job, you give him whatever he wants. He is literally the ONE guy who could unite our crazy fan base.

Re: Brad Stevens.

Titus was joking but he’s also correct. The aura that hiring Stevens would make us championship contenders overnight isn’t the facts. He’s an incredible coach that any college would want but unrealistic expectations could hinder his desire to consider the job.

Granted, I want a coach that says, bring it on, in regards to expectations but much of the Brad Stevens hopium is greatly inflated.

He’d have his work cut out for him as well.

Anyway, hire Brad Stevens......

In fairness to Kent, we all know who he’s talking about and he at least speaks in sentences instead of riddles, lol.

This is a good point and should be noted that kids, like Joey Brunk, who get 7 seasons may stop listening to Brad during their 3 senior year.

Danny Ainge put together a pretty bad roster. They don’t have a bench or front court players. They’ve also dealt with injuries to their two starting guards this year.

He has had really good success in the NBA and made back to back championship games at Butler.  He is a no questions asked, throw a ton of money at type hire.  He's proved he can coach at both levels consistently.

If you listen to his youtube video on it, he does not really think it will be Stevens - just hopes based on a story of a friend. 

He did say if it is not Brad Stevens that he wants Dane Fife because he understands Bloomington and Indiana basketball.

Blah. We need a coach that makes playing for IU fun again for ‘croots. Not one that takes us back to the early 2000s

[HoosierHoopster 6,065]

Just get it right this time. 
 

No wifs. Identify the candidate who will take IU back and offer the moon. Stop settling. Just get it right, it’s been 20 years
