Hey Chris is tomorrow's announcement something you have heard from your sources or an educated guess ? Do you think Brad is maybe still waiting to figure out when he wants to leave ?

Don't think tomorrows rumored announcement came from Chris. Some dude on Twitter.

I was told something about getting through the trade deadline and that it will be a good weekend. Never anything about the exact 27th at noon

Seems like there are a lot more important causes if you want to fight against dishonesty, and I'd be all for it.  I'm not sure what harm this is causing.  No one's going to riot or be killed if Brad Stevens doesn't come.

Ummmmmmmmm never mind

If I'm to entertain the thought of Stevens to IU, would the plan for Stevens to finish the season with the Celtics? Heaven forbid they were to make the playoffs, that seems like a long wait. Beyond Leal and Galloway who've stated their intentions to stay, would IU have much of a roster left if Stevens was to finish his NBA season. By that time, I'd doubt much of the talent in the portal would be left either.

If it were indeed Stevens, I'd take the one year hit as I'd be more confident in the long term, but the timing for 2021 with college bball free agency, wouldn't exactly be optimal. Just my take, but I've officially been drawn back in on the Stevens talk. Hoping it works out better than the last time.

I think that if he was to coach the rest of the season then you would need someone like Lewis or Cheaney to be interim coach, then move to associate head coach after Brad got done with the NBA season. Or the Celtics fire him today, he is here tomorrow

Appreciate the info. And appreciate you sharing what you hear. Don't let the criticism get you down. Can't speak for everyone but I think people are just frustrated with the last 5 years and the last 20+ years that when good news doesn't happen they lash out.

Yeah, I think there is some confusion between him and the guy on Peegs who has been saying the 27th at noon. The O$U guy has been claiming first weekend of April, or at least had those dates circled in a tweet last week.

So if it's not tomorrow, then we can do this all next week too? WOOHOO

If Brad knows he's coming it wouldn't make any sense to wait until next week.  The Celtics are dead this season and why would they want him to keep coaching if he's leaving?  Makes no sense.

To be fair.....it isn't like they have been the poster child of sound business decisions as of late lol
