If it gets to be another week or more without any names it would leave me wondering (Stevens) I mean here is the thing. It seems like other jobs are being filled a week or less after the former coach was fired. the fact that we have a: not filled it B heard no names from anyone about who IU was interested in is Curious.

I know we are all overanalyzing a few minutes of one mans discourse but the whole thing just was off. Maybe someone at IU rubbed Stevens the wrong way.

You are born that way and he can breath without his mouth open and that’s one of the qualifications. Wife’s from out that way...adjacent state. No lie detected. They have no self awareness either so that statement was even more bizarre. I read it and thought: no way BS uttered those words. Actually thought it was a parody at first.

Agree and waiting to hear the Celtics announce the raise/extension. This was either some unforeseen mishap or miscommunication or IU was used as leverage.

IndyFife Posted March 20, 2021 Posted March 20, 2021 Quick name a current NBA coach and the team they coach. Unless you are a die hard NBA’er, I bet you got two: Pop and Brad. Maybe Bjorkman. Bet we can all name 20+ college coaches and their teams. That’s the problem. I thought Brad was above the “collecting a paycheck” mentality of the NBA. Clearly he wasn’t. I’m not judging him, just clearly misjudged him. Thought he was a love of the game type of guy. akumanina, IUwins0708, Defenserocks28 and 1 other 4
Hoosierfan1901 Posted March 20, 2021 Posted March 20, 2021 Wonder if they will leave the job open for a bit, maybe Dolson has a little bit left in him

Honest question, you were kind of talking up Boston earlier, are you someone who grew up in Indiana and moved elsewhere, someone who is born and raised and still living in the state, or someone from out of state who attended IU and then moved on. There is nothing wrong with any of those categories, but I think which one you fall in is going to potentially drive how you view his statement. Honestly, not trying to throw shade at you, just think there is the potential that you and I have a different background that makes us look at what he said differently.

Hoosierfan1901 Posted March 20, 2021 Posted March 20, 2021 Anyone know what Stevens actual salary is, I think 0708 said it was $7 million + $3million raise(supposedly)
Five Prime Posted March 20, 2021 Posted March 20, 2021 How long is Dolson going to have to keep quiet?

Popular Post IUwins0708 Posted March 20, 2021 Popular Post Posted March 20, 2021 This still isn’t making any freaking sense at all. I need to give up trying to figure stuff out but there were too many people saying it was done. Totally confused, maybe it’s because I’m drunk again reconmkd, Toothdr, raorIU and 11 others 9 4 1
