I wish I could find it, but it was somewhere in the 1200+ pages of the other thread. I believe, if I'm not mistaken, that it was on a podcast that was done relatively recently when he was asked directly if he had any interest in a lead assistant job similar to what Martelli is doing for Howard at Michigan and he said no.

Beilein said he has no interest in an assistant job on the Titus & Tate podcast a few weeks ago

That's a solid point. If he truly, still at some point, wants to coach at IU it's most likely now or never.

Um, I think Brad Stevens is 44 years old.  Many people's 2nd choice is 68.  

We would all love to hire the next guy that leads the program to greater heights for the next 20 years.  That would be great.  Brad would be 64 then.

Just said they were going to go after said recruit & pretty sure like 90% that Stevens was going to be the coach.

Pretty sure he pretty much did say everything in that post, just in the form of a question.

Thats insane to pitch that with him still coaching or am I wrong? If brqd doesn't come wouldn't said recruit be like I can't trust these clowns and not come? 90 percent is strong but not 100

That's a valid point as well but if it's a Chris Beard and things go great that window is shut most likely.

He does. I didn’t give the full conversation. Just the gist of it. But I think it’s saying what most of us think.

I think this is also why we haven’t had anyone but Al enter the transfer portal.

I would think this is to our current commitment vs a new target.

I thought they have always been better than what most people thought.  I also thought Archie would be fired.  But yes, 90% is very exciting.

Not sure how I feel about Roberts doing that, if true.  Could easily end up looking bad on us if he stays put.

Let's say Stevens was interested but wanted to finish the season, would IU draw a line there or try to compromise (ie for staff and they start)?  I could see them wanting the guy in place ASAP but I could see him wanting to honor a commitment to Boston's season.
