I could see a 12:15 bomb dropped on the Friday of the ncaa tournament. However they play that night. I think woj would be the one to break it 

Well the play in games are tomorrow so do it right before those starts

If Brad were to agree I’d imagine he’d want a huge pool for his assistant coaches. He might want a large staff similar to the size of his staff at Boston. 

I do believe there is still NCAA limits of how many people you can have on staff. 3 assistants, a grad assistant and a DBO.

Probably.  Honestly, my list would be Lewis, Nored, and keep Hunter on staff.  Maybe look at Roberts for DOBO?

I can see Kenyia or Mike telling Brad when he comes in for his first practice,”I thought we would go 20 on, 10 off, then another 20 on.” Or,”Fact is, mister, you start screwin' up this team, I'll personally hide-strap your @$$ to a pine rail and send you up the Monon Line!”

We will all ask Brad at the local gathering at Nick’s if he prefers man to man or zone. Quite frankly, nothing worked with our boys and we got them all back but one!

Sorry if this has been responded to already but that is 100% true. There’s more to it though. 

Hayward struggled a ton post-injury and Brad continued to play him 30+ minutes and feature him as one of the 2-3 primary scoring options on the team when it was clear that Hayward wasn’t physically ready. A few legit National NBA sportswriters acknowledged this and that there was some minor grumblings about Hayward’s role post-injury

Celtics are playing like crap right now. It’s even worse that it’s against the Cavs. Maybe Stevens has something else on the mind tonight

[Hoosierfan1901 6,080]

Cavs up by 18 now...

Yeah, this is true. It was the first season Hayward was back from the leg injury. 2018-19. The year Kyrie said he was re-signing and then everything fell apart during the season and they lost in the first round to Milwaukee. 

Stevens started Hayward the entire season when he clearly wasn't ready. I think the organization thought Hayward would round into form, but it never really happened until the following season (last season). They even had Brown coming off the bench sometimes because of it.
