Candidate Thread: Brad Stevens (Boston Celtics)

[Hoosier Guy 8,333]

Let’s say Chris and IUwins end up being wrong. Oh well. IU will go on and they’ll get a good coach. Dolson wants an elite program once again

[hper50 1,653]

I never really saw him resigning mid season anyway. So I think it’s still possible he coaches the rest of the year then comes. He would have to respond this way to get the media off his back if that was the case. Maybe that’s me living in denial. Who knows

It’s a free board if posters want to say that fine.   It’s up to each poster to either listen to them or gather as much information from all places and make their own decision 

It’s also a discussion board so if you don’t like criticism don’t post your fantasies and call them fact. I get that it’s fun to have “insiders” post info we all want to hear, but if I say Rob is the best PG in IU history, you and the other mods aren’t going to echo your statement when everyone tells me I’m an idiot.

Yet we were 10 minutes away from a championship with Davis

Kevin Ollie won one. Doesn't mean much.

We have zero chance of getting him. Zero!

I’m sorry guys, I’m really totally shocked and sick to my stomach. I cant believe with all I was told this is the outcome. I’m not sure heartbroken should be a word I use towards another mans decision but I honestly am.

[OKHOOSIER 5,890]

Welp. That stinks. I am glad we made him say no, I don’t think Glass even tried more than a phone call last time. I still believe Dolson is committed to getting the best possible coach. Now, no more Brad talk ever, let’s get someone who wants to be here. This isn’t the death knell of IU basketball, just a blip. Cheers mates.

You guys act like coaches never lie 

Sure.. it's possible he is pulling a Saban. But from what we know about BS, it certainly seems unlikely that he would answer that strongly against the question and then go back on his word shortly later. I mean he called himself a Masshole and bragged about rooting for the Patriots.

I think its obvious there was a lot of smoke and that he was considering it, but it's not unreasonable to lose hope after that.

[IUfan_Charlie 3,867]

If what we've seen over the past few minutes is true and he's staying in Boston, don't jump all over Chris and IUwins0708. 
They're just relaying best info they had. 
It appears Dolson put the full-court press on Brad -- and Ainge and the Celtics broke it. 
Again, if true -- we're all disappointed. No need to get snarky. 
 

But people on here have to stop acting like what they say is 100% the truth and that anything any other media member says on Twitter is wrong and that they must secretly hate IU. It’s insane. These guys get stuff wrong, just like every other “insider”. Stop taking everything as Gospel just because they post it on here and you want it to be true. Take what they say into consideration but don’t put all your faith in their word. You’d avoid situations like this one. Use your heads.

Very doubtful that IU wants to wait till June to have a coach in place.

If we fired Archie for that it could somehow be a downgrade 

Burt & Ernie would be a upgrade From Archie

[ISP 953]

Boston gave him close to a $3m raise based on what I was just told.

[HooHooHoo22 3,937]

Still fun times ahead ! On to the next one boys. Will we suck for the rest of eternity or will we win a National Championship ?! FUN TIMES 

[Bowhunter 3,123]

Trust in Dolson. I’m sure they swung for the fence for Stevens. Now we move on. I was very excited about Chris Beard and still am!

What was brad supposed to say? Yes when hes being interviewed by boston reporters? I still think he’s a no, but i still have a slight glimer of hope.

What insider info?? This is hilarious...if they had insider info, Stevens would be the IU coach! It’s all bs...they can say whatever they want because nobody can verify it...great position to be in

Did you know that Kobe was going to Chicago if the Lakers didn't trade Shaq.  So far even that Kobe and his family were shopping for houses and schools.  Kobe even said it was a done deal himself in interviews.  Then at the last minute they traded Shaq and the rest is history.  Insiders had that scoop and it changed.  We have no idea what has transpired in the last 2 days.  Their info could be 100% legit and something change in Boston to divert it.  Who knows, but nothing is ever definite until it is.  They have balls for sharing what they have heard and I thank them for that.  What did they gain from it? Nothing, except being bashed on the message board.  If they were getting paid it would be different.
