Candidate Thread: Brad Stevens (Boston Celtics)

[IUBBx5Banners]

You guys are out of your minds. I love it. 

[Five Prime]

Nonymouse seems like a fun guy.  Hope he sticks around to celebrate when Stevens is announced. 

 

[jimsorgi]

Nonymouse is right. No coach has ever denied interest in a job and then later took the same job. 
 

And it’s clearly destructive that a fan base with no control over a coaching search have a little fun with it and engage in some wild speculation/mildly informed guessing.

I'm looking forward to the posts after we hire someone else (like Musselman) about how Stevens is really secretly coaching the team behind the scenes, with a series of predictions that Stevens will officially take the position over publicly at various random dates in the future.

I'm all for a good conspiracy theory and this would keep the thread alive a while.

The things that give me hope are that donors coughed up big buy out money, we were told to expect extreme denial and we still don’t have a coach.

We’re just acknowledging how goofy it is and some parallels of delusion with QAnon lol

Oh I see

The Celtics don’t play 4/3 (day of Final Four games) or 4/5 (day of national championship).

Announcement 4/3 prior to games for a ton of publicity (not that he’d have to be off for that but he’d be able to avoid direct media contact)? Presser 4/5 prior to championship for even more publicity?

Brad Stevens Theory Part 2

Then at some point Brad and IU brass/boosters started talking to see if their was interest because IU new Archie wasn’t the answer. Brad was frustrated and was willing to listen. So IU fires Archie because a booster paid 10 million for him to hit the road. Then that’s when rumors started flying because a booster wouldn’t pay 10 million just to get rid of a guy unless Dolson could guarantee things would get better. Then Brad denies his interest in the job but over the course of the week the rumors continued to grow. I think this was because someone in the athletic department or some of the boosters involved couldn’t keep their mouths shut but Brad still wasn’t ready to leave the Celtics. So he had to get the heat off of him.

I was told a certain trustee from down south was having trouble keeping it quiet. That's why Brad had to do the press conference to make things go quiet.

I really appreciate your insight. If there is interest, I don’t understand the timing sensitivity?  What does a week delay matter?
