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? 

He made it to back to back NC games with pretty contrasting styles of ball. Dude is versatile. Definitely sets who he has up for success.

Crazy thing is... It would have actually worked... Whether it's true or not. The Celtics were in Indy. They played the Pacers on the 27th and the 29th.

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.

Hey first time poster here been scanning this forum the last few days. Decided I’d sign up when I had an opportunity to contribute. I work at Indy International airport and while I can’t say for sure who was on board, the colts jet landed here about an hour ago and with the timeline of that picture, it seems pretty obvious it was Wentz. As FightFor6 said, those jets are specific for the Colts and there would be no way to confuse them with a plane carrying Brad Stevens. 
 

Wouldn’t get too caught up in flight tracking in general. As someone who works very closely with flights each and every day, unless you ask every single pilot who’s on board or Brad Stevens tells you himself he’s on this plane you’ll never know for sure. 
 

Come on home Brad!!!

Go back to the 2012 Crossroads Classic.  He outcoached the current Georgia coach with far less talent when we were ranked #1 in the country.  Vic hit a late clutch layup and then their WALK-ON point guard hit the dagger at the buzzer

Could be that that tweeter picked the 28th because he knew it’d look legitimate dude to the Celtics being in town. If he picked a day they were, in say, LA everyone would know he’s lying.

Holy ****. This dude may be in the know or is very good at creating storylines. Did his research.

I have a hard time believing that this could take place and NO ONE heard or saw a thing. That doesn't mean it didn't happen, but it strains credulity.

These guys are better than political peeps. They at least care to do some research and make it realistic lol.

They have rooms to where you would not be sitting in the open dining area.

I am not saying it happened, but St Elmos has private rooms for special people, Pacers and Colts are always eating there in privacy, Manning used to live there. I don't think it would have been Dolson eating with him either. More likely the guys who ponied up the buyout. Since Stevens was in Indy for 3-4 days anyways for games, wouldn't make anyone bat an eye at all. 

 

[spe317 480]

He never said it was Dolson, rather some influential brass. Can be someone on the board who people wouldn’t know from Adam even. Possibilities are endless. That being said, who knows. Also...

 

Brad Stevens.

THere is a lower level that the restaurant has.  Manning has used it multiple times for private events.  They could have easily of been there and no one would have known.

He said influential Indiana brass. I don't think Dolson would have been there.

Lots of private dining rooms available and everyone's wearing masks these days so staying unrecognized wouldn't be that terribly difficult.  And the staff at these kinds of establishments definitely know how to keep their lips sealed.

Could be true; but before this post Chris did say this guy has been on the money with everything he has heard. 

[ViaSwiss 264]

Hell, Stevens was probably at St Elmo's multtiple times during that 3-4 days stint anyways. Its always the #1 spot people eat when visiting. 

[HoosierMatty 454]

So just to catch up, Brad accepted and right now it's just a matter of IU and Boston working out a buyout agreement. And Ainge will likely be a tough negotiator ?

Would a meeting such as this in late December 2020 between game dates have met any NBA or franchise COVID protocols?
