Why would they have "supposedly" offered Thad Matta earlier this week if this were the case?

I can't quite figure that out. There is a lot of info going around and I don't care to find out the truth to it because I'm not a Matta fan. He always reminded me of Gargamel on the smurfs. Yes that's how I decide if I like someone or not :-)

He wasn't going to bolt because he wanted his 10 million but he started letting people know he was gone. 

That Explains the crappy play for the last month.

That he was gone. Probably said they were going after a big name or something

Tinfoil hat update: The same plane that went Boston -> Chicago -> Bloomington last night is headed to White Plains,  NY this AM.

Sort of feels like we should all have a copy of The Catcher in the Rye in hand with our tinfoil hats & advanced flight trackers.

Also another plane that has been White Plains last week is flying in from Chicago this morning.

We will know soon if indeed something is happening. If the Indiana job is vacant in three weeks, the speculation is going to start back up.

Let's make one thing clear too, I've never once called myself an insider. I just happen to know a lot of people and been around this university for many years. 

Good clarification. And I think that's the point, right? This is something that is simmering enough that there are people who would have reason to know are talking about it. And some people on this site know those people. Right now, it's just: let's have fun and see what happens. If nothing comes of it, so be it - not the fault of anyone here! In the meantime, I enjoy hearing commentary from you.

Don't come to the BRAD F*** STEVENS thread and be Debbie downer :-). I'm not sure you have even jumped back on our train yet or not.

The Mike Woodson talk has made me flaccid. :(

When I was at the gym this morning, Crazy Train was like the third song I heard. Coincidence? I think not.

At the end of the day, we've gotta watch this team next year and each year after that until either we die or college basketball ceases to exist. Might as well have fun with it. 

If Woodson comes and sucks, that just means we'll have a nice fun thread on BTB.

I am shocked I tell you... shocked.... he told everyone when Archie went to Harrison that his wife was looking for Oladipo’s underwear in the IU locker room. No wonder Archie was miserable here. 

Wait.....what?

Any chance the Matta/Woodson/ Cheaney talks were about taking over the team until the NBA season is over. They would be fairly credible hires that would not be questioned by the press and would allow Stevens to finishing out the season with the Celtics.

Reading through this thread reminds me of the story about the  little boy who only wanted a pony for Christmas.  A pony is the only thing he asked for in his letter to Santa and the only thing he ever asked of every Santa he saw.  Christmas morning he raced downstairs and there it was under the Christmas tree.  A big pile of horse manure.  The little boy got the biggest smile on his face and dove right into that pile flinging manure in every direction.  When his mom asked him what on earth he was doing he replied, "a pile of horse manure this big means there must be a pony in here somewhere."

You all are still looking for that pony and it ain't there.
