I’m not.  Don’t have to worry anyway!! I don’t know a timetable before anyone asks.

That's how you avoid PM requests....."I don’t know"... and .... "before anyone asks."

I wasn’t going to tell everyone but screw it, if it’s wrong it’s wrong.  The search is over!! Brad will be the next coach.  Same guy that told me the Sampson buyout sent me a text and said Brad is HOM

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

I will say that IU met with the Stevens family since January, maybe even end of December. It was a good fit we thought, we listened to everything they had to say, we met everything they wanted, they a

I guess we’ll find out something today. Tip off time for the Celtics game is 7:30pm ..... 

I just don't see how he can coach if he's already signed a deal with IU and the Celtics know it...I can't imagine that would make the players happy. That being said I'm not worried if he coaches tonight. I trust the guys on here.

It will just mean he hasn't signed. Which is not encouraging in my opinion

I saw this posted on another IU message board, hesitated........., then decided to share. At this point the "cat is almost out of the bag" and we are all just anxiously waiting for a national media link, to some degree. Again, I found it thorough and viable,....don't know how creditable, however, its very encouraging.....if true. 

Good evening. I’m new to the forums and had to set up an account at the urging of a friend just to share this so please forgive me. I know my established credibility is zero as of now but hear me out and wait the requisite amount of time for this to come to fruition and I think you’ll appreciate this information. I was asked not to share but this is an anonymous board and it’s too important not to share with Hoosier Nation.

I have deep basketball connections in south central Indiana. As it has been told to me, Brad Stevens has been formally offered in the $8 million/year range and this is being funded by private donors. I know, nothing new here. The news here is that Stevens has notified Ainge of his interest and has, in fact, met with IU brass in person in the past week in a clandestine fashion. Ainge is encouraging Stevens to stay but also understands the big business of basketball. Stevens is rumored to being very close to accepting an offer in kind but will not abandon his team until the season is over, which leaves Indiana in a bit of a pickle until late May/June. The prevailing thought here is that Stevens will accept the Indiana job within the week and notify the Celtics and his team and commit to continue to coach them....*unless* they let him walk, which is very possible, even likely. Think Bill Freider/Steve Fisher for Michigan back in the day. Assuming the Celts let him go, this opens up Stevens to Indiana almost immediately and Stevens gets to start his dream job and the mighty rebuild of the Indiana program post haste. The $$$ and the poor performance this year and Stevens’ desire to be closer to his family (dad) in Indiana are the reasons this is happening, I’ve been told.

Thanks for listening. I’m 95% sure it goes down like this. It’s not if but when.

This feels like we are currently in that panic time right before a recruit commits where the freak out begins.  Sometimes the freak out is warranted and other times it is just the jitters that it is not done yet.

"Why has he just not picked us yet if he wants to be here...?"  At least this time we are pining for a grown man as opposed to a teenager....right?  Lol.
