No buyout if we fire him but buyout for him to quit. What leverage does he have? Look at the success the Indiana ties. The relationships. The X’s and O’s

maharkn Posted March 20, 2021 Posted March 20, 2021 I guess the one thing that still doesn't make any sense with any of this is the family angle. It was reported that a driving factor in Brad's decision making process was his wife's desire to come home. Did that just disappear because Ainge talked smooth and upped his salary a few million? Seems odd. I don't know.Especially with the fans wanting him gone.Sent from my SM-A515U1 using Tapatalk

Whoozhers Posted March 20, 2021 Posted March 20, 2021 Someone who hasn't flamed out at his two P5 stops. The recruits parents are the only people who can recall that Alford went to IU so I'm not convinced he would suddenly have far more success coaching his alma mater. Even ignoring the Pierre Pierce situation at Iowa, his resume doesn't scream "we need that guy". You are certainly not alone, I just can't get behind the Alford push.If not Alford.... you’d better get behind somebody with roots to the state or program. Born and bred or Hoosiers that played for IU know the passion and what it takes to be successful.Btw the WORST thing the State of Indiana ever did is implement class basketball. Sucks to the MAX.Sent from my iPad using BtownBanners mobile app kreigh8 and Whoozhers 2

You just don't fire Archie with that buyout without a guarantee. If that is the case, IU had better be looking for an Athletic Director as well as a BB coach. There is NO WAY he gave any kind of guarantee to anyone. He probably gave a list of coaches he is going to approach, or said he has been talking with someone.
Alford Bailey Posted March 20, 2021 Posted March 20, 2021 I know a former Stevens player from Butler. Told him everything that was posted in here last night and he said he would be shocked if Stevens ever came back to college. He appears to be right at this point.

Trish Posted March 20, 2021 Posted March 20, 2021 I’m starting to think the booster is just beyond loaded and wanted to blow $10 million without a care who the next coach is. Seems like a waste of money but hey, I don’t have that money so. Kentuckysucks and jmsgws 2

I would assume this process moves very quickly if we're truly moving on. If not, it will be obvious after about 2 weeks or so we're waiting around for the end of the NBA season. Most of the board seems to have jumped ship at this point but I don't have a problem waiting until June for BS if Dolson is confident he can get a commitment then. Most of the names thrown out would still jump at the opportunity in June if offered. It doesn't really matter to me if we miss the transfer window in an attempt to get the perfect candidate.

Popular Post IUwins0708 Posted March 20, 2021 Popular Post Posted March 20, 2021 Dolson will absolutely NOT have egg on his face. He got rid of a lame duck coach who wasn’t coming close to expectations. He tried, and I don’t want to say he failed because he got outbid. Whoever the next coach is, they deserve a chance because who knew of Brad Stevens before he was hired at Butler. Feathery, FightFor6, VO5 and 19 others 20 2

It came off sounding like he wants to come here, but wants to finish out the season in Boston. I'd still feel pretty confident if our insiders hadn't all done a 180.
