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?  

Need to step up your troll game. Nba coaches are a dime a dozen? Only 32 active NBA head coaches in the world. That’s not a dime a dozen. Lol. I expect more with your next post.

If Stevens called a private meeting to discuss leaving (or staying) I would think that would break very, very soon.

Is this real? Are there people betting money on IU's next coach?

No. Indiana basketball is irrelevant, remember?

So no answer?  I think this guy has done wonders with his image of being a Super Coach.  He’s ok, but not Back up the Brinks truck ok.  
 

If IU hires him, he’ll prolly be fired in 5 years too.

Yeah, ignore me.. I'm just a college guy through and through. I knew he was on Red Claws at some point, but didn't realize he was back. 

He’s been out all year basically. Hasn’t played lol

I believe he's on Maine Red Claws rehabbing currently. 

Thats what I was thinking I saw last. But I hadnt looked or paid any attention to that recently.

Grab Dawson Garcia please.  And DJ Carton wouldn’t hurt if his mind is right.

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.

Meeting could just be to try and regroup and perform better.

Hey, Purdue Pete, look at you.  Your team plays in tourney today, but you still want to be here.  So Purdue.

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" 

Did he really say 'hicks'? Wow, Brad Stevens should be offended.

He’s played so little for the Celtics he may still have eligibility to follow him back to IU. He’s had a rough go.

It is interesting none of our boys have transferred.. not even Kristian.

Yeah, could be anything. I've decided to stay so get your sh** together.

Kinda ironic since they owe quite a bit to those "hicks" especially one from French Lick.

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

I don't know it could be just me, but I don't think IU fans in general would ask anything unrealistic to Stevens. It's takes time for a new coach to recruit his players and implement his system. And Stevens wouldn't come here if he doesn't have aspirations to win national championships.

I don’t think the timing changes things whether the announcement is today, tomorrow or next week. If the offer is real and there’s a mutual interest, how could Stevens possibly turn it down? It’s a MASSIVE pay raise, comes “home”, happy wife. Or…stay in Boston with what he has, leave 8 figures on the table while at risk of losing his job when the season is over? Prove me wrong.
