Dunks is based in Boston (Braintree, Ma).

They even have their Dunkin U training facility there! Dunks is on every street corner in the Boston metro area.

Ok, so they know better than anyone how badly it sucks.  In SE FL the new Yorkers all est there...don't get it.

And what is there to train?  Thaw out the donuts and put them in a rack for three or four days.

My best guess on how this all plays out.

We go after Stevens, Beard, Oats, Musselman, and Drew. They all say no thanks.

We hire John Belein.

No question in my mind. I guess the good thing is I’ll win my case of keeping Archie another year while the Celtics blow up / other candidates open up.

Dunkin’ at 3rd and the Bypass causes traffic jams and near crashes pretty much every day. **** Dunkin’.

What other candidates do you think would come up, and why aren't we considering them now? Our list next year wouldn't look any different.

Personally I don't like this kind of parade. We should just move on like it never happened. This kind of thing or Cleveland fans burning LBJ jerseys are to me pathetic.

Hahahaha. I completely agree.

The best coffee is homemade espresso with a solid grinder. Americano it if you like.

Anyway, Dunkin U is their corporate/managerial training.

But we digress....back to basketball!

Sounds like Beilein is in the mix at Depaul.

Why does it matter how someone turns down interest in a job? Brad was asked on a radio show early this week if he was going to leave Boston for IU and he said no. He never gave any public indication that he was considering the job. IU fans didn’t want to hear his denials but he never did anything but publicly deny interest.

It depends. If you don’t care then do whatever you want. But smart business people know that you never know  who you might encounter down the line so it’s best not to burn bridges. For example if the Boston Celtics fire Brad Stevens and wants  a different NBA job, you might/might not burn a bridge  with Mark Cuban. You don’t take chances.  As far as the radio show, there’s a difference in setting. Shock jocks trying to push you around is a different setting as opposed to the official media session of the Boston Celtics.  Little details, yes, but it’s the little details that separate good business people from great business people.

That would be extremely intriguing. And a probable nightmare for an old dude.

Definitely Goodman.

What else would it be?

It’s still stupid and unbecoming.

Eh. It is what it is. At least Hoosier Hysterics aren’t out there being all weird about it. It was probably them who put it there.

Lol, Brad didn’t burn any bridges by not taking the IU job. He turned down a college job to stay with the freaking Boston Celtics. He didn’t drop a nuke on assembly hall. 
He could wake up tomorrow and tell Scott Dolson that he wants the job and Scott would have the brinks truck outside Brad’s house immediately.

The reaction to Brad turning down the job is what happens when people take anonymous sources as gospel. People were posting that random Ohio State account like he was Woj or Shams.

I saw a couple tweets earlier but now I can’t find them. They may have been false and got deleted or something so I’m not sure.

Yeah but it doesn't seem like we've really reached out to anyone else and we fired Archie almost immediately and with a $10M buyout.  Has to have been some fire there.

A quick Twitter search brings up a couple results from last year. I could see Marquette snatching him up.

That would be a good hire for Marquette.
