Candidate Thread: Brad Stevens (Boston Celtics)

[TheWatShot]

NBA guys love to look down their noses at college basketball in general. In their view, coaching any NBA team is infinitely better than coaching even the best college teams. It's just about impossible for them to conceive why any NBA coach would possibly want to return to the college game.

Not so sure on that. Scored 23 points in the first half of their game. Didn’t look any better than IU. Upgrade?

One half of one game......and at 23 points they are still in it.

Oh hey! I never have sources but I do have a secondary connection to Pfau! They said he wouldn’t leak info but it’s entirely possible he would be the donor for the new coach. Wouldn’t spend on firing someone but would spend on hiring. He goes to Florida for the winter (Boca?) and got back yesterday. Sorry that doesn’t really tell us anything but I’ll keep digging

Wasn't Boca where one of the planes went?

Yes, 2 planes went to Boca (one from Btown, one from Boston) and the Btown plane is headed to Boston sometime after 5. The original Boston plane is going elsewhere.

Has nothing to do with the current game but count me in as not impressed too. Other than those two years, his record is average at best. I do like his personality, though. I'd honestly rather have Beilein. Yes, I know his age.

ABOUT THE PFAU FAMILY

 

The Pfau family has a long and rich history with Indiana University and IU Athletics.

Norman Edward “Ned” Pfau, Jr., is a 1965 graduate, earning his B.A. in Business Finance in 1965. His wife, Sue, graduated from IUPUI in 1966 with a degree in Physical Therapy. Married in 1964, they have been avid supporters and advocates for the state’s flagship university ever since.

Their passion for IU and the sport of golf, though, comes from more than their time spent as undergraduate students.

During his childhood, Ned made countless trips to Bloomington with his father, Norman Pfau, Sr., from their southern Indiana home to cheer on the Hoosiers. The elder Pfau served as a basketball manager for IU Basketball Coach Everett Dean from 1930-33 and became close friends with the era’s star basketball player, future Hall of Fame Hoosier Coach Branch McCracken. After graduating from IU in 1933 with a degree in business administration, Pfau, Sr., remained lifelong friends with McCracken and stayed close to the program for the rest of his life. Those trips to Bloomington helped foster Ned’s love of IU, a passion equaled by Sue. That affinity for all things IU is also obvious in the couple’s four children – Ellen, Chip, Anne and Kari – three of whom have earned Indiana University degrees.

This guy used to come into my parents coffee shop all the time. I knew he was connected to the university and stuff but I didn’t realize he was THAT connected. Very very small world

That’s not a thing. People are getting way ahead of themselves and the “it’s done” noise is just that at this point.

Picking up Pfau at 3, headed to Boston to get Brad... it's all coming together

[Hoosierfan1901]

It’s 3 pm for the Eastern folks, let’s see if anything happens, unless the leak means 3pm CT?

This is some James Bond, CIA ****...lol.  Tracy secretly meeting at the residence of Mr. Big so they can seal the deal with his associates.  Now I know why Chris has the 007 after the screen name.
