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

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.

Lol, Brad didn’t burn any bridges by not taking the IU job. 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. 

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.

We really have no idea who Dolson has or hasn’t been reaching out to. That info is likely accessible by only a handful of people at most. It hasn’t even been a week since Archie was fired. And besides, the vast majority of our candidates are still coaching their current teams in the NCAA tournament.

No he didn't burn any bridges.   I do have a strong suspicion that he did use IU to get a raise and I don't blame him at all for playing that card.   However, if that is true, it's easy to understand hard feelings on the IU side.   Add the "I'm not a kid anymore..." comment and one can infer for themselves how they should feel.

I just don't get why we fired Archie so quickly with that buyout if we didn't have a bird in the hand.  Why not hang on to him a little longer to make sure you have a solid upgrade?

If Brad got a raise why haven’t the NBA guys announced it? I don’t doubt SD asked Brad to take the Indiana job, I’m just not buying all the other stuff.

Guys are hesitant to interview for a job that is currently occupied. Can't blame them for that.

It's still the round of 64. Most of the good coaches are busy with that. I just don't get all the hand wringing at this point.

Does Boston have to announce it?  Does Stevens have to?   Also, why wouldn't Stevens use that?  I would.

Yes, the Celtics would have to announce a change to his contract. They wouldn't have to disclose the terms, though.

They can probably announce that he had a raise, but not say how much. Like the extension from August.

In regular human world yes billionaire world not sure. Case in point— I’m waiting to see how the Deshaun Watson case turns out in Texas. The lead lawyer against Watson is a neighbor to the houstan Texans owner . U wouldn’t believe the level of pettiness I encounter on a daily basis. Again I don’t take chances, I finish the job and keep it straight . Of course I can retire now but again I don’t take chances.
