Not that he's staying, going, or disappearing to join the circus, but:

1. He has been to three Eastern Conference Finals in four years. That is NOT mediocre/decent.
2. Boston is maybe the most excellent City in America, especially if one is wealthy. It has. It. All.

 

On point #1: guess we should explain to Celtics fans that Brad is doing a fine job. Cause a lot of them don’t seem to think so. 
 

On point #2: I’m sure Boston is wonderful. I hope that isn’t a criteria.

Uuugh we have Purdue trolls to see us in misery or hide in the dark shadows if we get good news.

I believe Stevens is overrated and certainly not worth the numbers being thrown around.   I think it’ll be someone like beard or musselman.  Maybe Altman or the guy at Loyola. 

I find this take overrated.

Beard looking like he's having fun on the sidelines at SSAH

There's not much better than Boston in the spring when the Celtics are in the playoffs and baseball season has started. The weather is gorgeous, the city is popping and there is so much to do. 

I want to take in professional sports events there. Seafood as well

[Mopladysman]

Maybe 3pm is the private team meeting??

[Mohepa]

Team meeting at 3:00?

You’re entitled to your wrong opinion.

Is there any chance RMK will show up?  I know COVID and all but I'm sure he's been vaccinated given his age.

People on the Brianna Twitter thread appear to believe hes leaving for IU.

Let me throw this hypothetical at you guys.  The "Private team meeting" is happening at 3:00 and Romeo is the player that is spreading info, or he is spreading it to some of his former teammates.  I am not saying that I trust that Brianna got good info, but that would put some of the pieces together, including Dolson's denial that INDIANA would be announcing anything.

[HoosierFan1994]

We have to find something out soon...if you are Boston even IF Brad is staying, don't you issue some type of statement he's NOT coming to IU? Everyone is on it now.  Search his name on twitter.

From personal experience, with how much time has passed since he was there, I'm not sure what kind of state he'd be in to be able to make that trip.

Come home Brad!

Maybe.

Maybe to address the media attention on him. 

Maybe to say--I've decided to stay in Boston so that the team doesn't worry. Maybe not.

Visited Boston a couple of years ago, had an awesome time.  Caught a game at Fenway (obligatory for any baseball fan), of course Cheers (Bull & Finch), so much history there, and so much to do, something for everyone.

NBA coaches are a dime a dozen.  He hasn’t lit the NBA on fire.  The DePauw guy had a good two year run in a weak conference.  Is that worth 8 mil a year?  Cali numbers?  Cmon. 
 

what, exactly, makes him a Super Coach?
