That can only mean one of three things:

1.  Ainge doesn't know
2. Brad is staying in Boston
3. Ainge is lying

My money is on 1 and/or 3.

Again, if Ainge wants to kill this talk, send Brad out to unequivocally squash the talk. Plain, simple, unambiguous language - no wiggle room. And that hasn't happened.

The interview give you a nice idea of what Bostonians are like. 

After Ainge says "I think he's going to be the Celtics coach for a long time (direct quote)", one of the interviewers goes "those hicks always want to go back, the hicks always want to leave" 

At the 22 min mark if anyone wants to hear it.

Still feeling good regarding Brad and the negative vibes should stop? Friends texting me worried Dolson is going to plan B. I’m still trying to hold onto hope because of you and 0708.

I think we'll know today as Brad will definitely be asked about it tonight.  He'll either shoot it down directly or dance around the question.

I don't know specifics...other than we were looking good and now it's changed. I hope I'm wrong. We'll see if the insiders here will stick to their predictions

This went about how I figured

There is no way direct question(s) won’t be asked after Celtics game tonight.  It will have to be either confirmed or killed IMO.  

He’s not going to say. “Yes I’m talking to IU”. 
 

He could say I’m committed to the Celtics and I don’t plan on leaving until the Celtics make a change. 
 

We need the Celtics to keep losing.

I haven’t heard anything to change my mind other than people trying to hurry the process.

You mean because allegedly an alleged press conference isn't happening? 

[Alford Bailey 12,375]

I can envision a scenario where we dont land Stevens (despite best efforts) and we end up better off for it. Expectations are unrealistic.

[Loaded Chicken Sandwich 8,672]

Brad isn't coming... Gut feeling. At least we have good options otherwise.

Thanks Chris I was about to lose it. Think I am jumping off here my heart can't take it

Beard is going to be in a tough spot with all the Stevens hype if that does in fact happen. 

Nah. All IU fans want Dolson to go hard after Stevens. If Stevens says no and then Beard says yes, I’m all in on Beard. This is the only time I’ve felt IU has legitimately went after Stevens. As a fan that’s all we can ask for.

Okay---he doesn't know nuttin'.

People have different levels of optimism, and that's okay.

So let's move on.

Right, IU can offer him the moon but he still has to accept. It seems that is where we are.

I'm not excited about Beard, but definitely an upgrade over Archie.

God almighty, why would you want to stay in Boston after 8 years? I understand wanting to take the job initially because it’s a legendary job. But, after 8 years of mediocre/decent results and no pipeline to success on the horizon- why would you want to stay in that town? Especially if you are offered twice as much money and will likely have immense success here? 
 

I have no info but I still think it’s gonna happen.

Agreed, and I’m not a mod like Stuhoo, but if you’re posting an opinion, just say so. Don’t pass your hungry gut’s feeling off as insider info

Found Archie’s new job! 
 

More money for Brad and the staff!
