Listening to this NBA Podcast I listen to daily.. 

 

They mentioned someone hit them up saying Indiana is offering $49/7. 
 

Wasn’t expecting to hear this on this specific Podcast.

First question at Brad's press conference from Jeff Goodman:  "Brad, I was told you were going to be the coach at Indiana.  What happened?"

Brad: "Who the hell told you I wasnt going to be the coach at Indiana?  I wanna know.  They were from Btownbanners right?  No.  Weren't from Btownbanners and you didn't hear from anyone at Btownbanners. There are only 2 people in the world who are going to tell you I'm not going to be here.  One is Btownbanners and the other is me.  Now I'll handle this the way I want to handle it now that I'm here. You f***Ed it enough to begin with.  Now just sit there or leave".

"Now..... back to the game."

End of whose season? 

Yes. :)

The news will break when it breaks. Sucks to be left hanging in the wind... but I get playing it close to the vest...

Hoping this doesn't get hidden, but is there a timeframe on an expected announcement? Or would that not be coming until the conclusion of the NBA season?

That's definitely the number I've seen in a few places now... here's hoping its a legitimate source they're hearing it from and not just someone sending on Twitter.

A little less than I’ve been told but a substantial amount nonetheless

Even though this is off-topic, I'm gonna use this excellent post by 0708 to make a point inside the thread that is by far currently the most read.

1. This board is very different from HSN, and in subtle ways that you may not see on the surface.
2. The primary difference is that the mods are not just out to remove offensive posts--we also strive to make the information as concise and interesting as possible, especially in threads that are heavily trafficked. In less busy threads there is far more leeway.
3. We've hidden a ton of posts in the past few days; none of them were offensive, but each of them did not contribute to the thread they were in. I've sent out a few private messages asking people to adjust to "our style." Without exception everyone has graciously responded and is doing so.
4. So, if you like our style, remember these guidelines, for the good of all:

• If you like a post--just hit the 'like' icon. No need for a separate post merely expressing your agreement. 
• If you are confused by a post--just hit the 'confused' icon. No need to separately post that you're confused.
• If you appreciate an insider's information--just hit the 'thanks' icon. No need to separately post your gratitude.

And whatever you do, don't post about how many posts there have been! (Lol) That will be immediately hidden.

Respectfully, 

Your moderator team

The other thing I like about this board is that it is the responsibility of the moderators to tell my boss why I'm not getting anything done. Personal touches like this that really make me appreciate this board.

We will someday I guarantee that.

In terms of flights; are we sure it wasn't Wentz coming to Indy?

I could see them having rights to his NBA coaching, but beyond that I don't see how it'd stand because IU isn't really a competitor.  I'm not a lawyer though.

The non compete in the contract would have to be in the interest of protecting an organization's legitimate business interests.  All that said, I am sure that Brad just wants to be clear of the Celtics having rights to him and they are negotiating how much it will be for IU to purchase those rights (which are essentially worthless to Indiana).  It would be difficult for the Celtic's to claim that preventing Brad from going to IU protects their legitimate business interests, but the larger point is that something that you really want to litigate?

Don't think those were the tail #'s involved earlier. Pretty sure Carson would have taken one of these jets. All registered with Colts training facility address.

[IU Prof 782]

I can't see a scenario in which the Celtics would try to force Stevens to stay past this year if he tells them he wants out. That would be a horrible idea for any number of reasons. I'm thinking the future NBA rights is probably one big sticking point, and timing being the other (does he finish out the season or not).

 

Edit: It's also possible the Celtics try to match/throw more $$ at Stevens to entice him to stay, although that seems less likely given the recent extension.

I have not watched the Celtics much at all. I can't remember Steven's days at Butler either.

I do know that he's very much respected for an X's and O's standpoint. If he were to come back to college, are there any insights to what his system would look like. Looking at you @bgleas :)...and others who would like to chime in. 

Does he cater his system to the players or does he try and make the players fit into his system?
Did he zone at Butler much? or was it pretty much man to man. 
Does he spread the floor on offense and shoot? Is it fast paced?
