So what is it about Stevens that makes him the ultimate home run? Looking to know peoples opinions on exactly why we think he is the hire that would blow the roof off assembly. Is it the Butler years? The b2b FF’s, 10 years ago? His college HC experience really wasn’t that long. What? Like 6 years total? Is it the NBA experience? Is it coaching style? I’m legit interested to hear everyone’s take on why BS is the be all end all of head coaches. Can he regain the magic here? Has his time in the league changed what made him successful in the college ranks?

Doesn’t seem to be like him in his previous tweets.  Maybe it is though.  I wouldn’t think he would be at IU right now

Maybe one of his family members got on his account

If the McCaskey's were on the BOT, I'd worry too...

Ouch. That one hurt. As the truth often does...

But you have to believe... Dolson has the stones to at least try... and as Hannibal Smith said "I love it when a plan comes together"!

Yes, loosely.

I really don't think it would be to make a joke/get attention. Could be wrong though.

Goodman has no scope on IU, he's complaining that it's "dead" on Georgia street in downtown Indy.  Were in a global pandemic ya goof not many people will be out and about.  

Goodman is an *******.  He is one guy that we should be all up in his **** if Stevens does end up here.  Know nothing hack.

Wish they would have elaborated more on why Stevens contract with Boston does not allow him to just quit and then go coach Indiana.

All unnecessary.  Where is the first place you go when returning to Bloomington?

Have a guy at Nick's, Kilroy's, Mother Bears, and the Irish Lion, 90% one will be his first stop.

He should ask the NFL how the Super Bowl went when hosted here.  A$$hat=Goodman.  He is pissed he can’t find out anything about our coaching search.

They didn't because they are talking out their @$$

If IU has to compensate the C’s to get Stevens out of his contract, it would help explain what Dolson meant in his presser when he said he had a second donor lined up for transition costs related to the new hire.

That is one part of the equation that gives me hope.

Is that common for an NBA coaching contract to have a buyout?

+1 there were a TON of good places to eat in Bloomington. Honestly, the food selection was better there than anywhere else I have lived (and I have lived in several college towns and currently live in Cincinnati - the food is good here too, just more spread out).

Not sure there’s a buyout per se but it could help the C’s decide not to haggle, see 0708’s post earlier about contract terms

We started discussing those hurdles with his beautiful agent back in late January, early February. So everything was written up exactly how they wanted. So there’s not really much to be done. This has been planned out and agreed upon.

And I was sceptical of the Dolson hire.

Couldn't have been more wrong and I'm good with that.

My phone battery life is at 47%. Going to put it on the charger and see if I can get it to 100% without picking it up to check this thread....doubtful.
