No offense to Chris, but I don't buy the Boca meeting, at least not on that timetable. There were flights from Bloomington and Boston to Boca arriving around the same time that Friday. And the plane that flew from Bloomington to Boca ended up flying to Boston later that day. Problem is the flight didn't get in until 6, and nothing else left Boca before then for Boston.

 

Plus there were also reports that Stevens was at the shoot around that morning, called a team meeting for 3 pm, etc.

 

So there is no way the timing was such that they met in Boca and two hours later he gives the masshole press conference. Unfortunately that just wasn't possible.

Who said Brad was there? Maybe it was a meeting with his wife.

Now is it possible that meeting occurred on another day? Sure. But not that Friday. 

He didn't say they met with Stevens directly but probably with his agent

Why would they have waited this long though. I could see a couple days but over a week now. Doesn't really make since unless there's some real ball busting going on with the contract. Whole thing doesn't make sense

From my understanding.. and I don’t have the sources that Jerry or Chris does. But I’ve only heard it’s been his representation. Who we know..

I didn’t say Brad was there. I said Tracy, Dolson and the Pfau’s plus Isiah

That or Drew has told Scott he’s coming. 

And if someone like me can figure it out I sure know Scott and Brad do. I expect something to go down in the next week or two with this job. 

[Bobman1 2,909]

Now that Moser and Loyola have been eliminated, if we don’t have a coach for the next week or so is it safe to assume it has to be Stevens, Oats, Drew, or Musselman?

 

Obviously not safe to assume, but I mean come on. The further along we get without a coach means the greater chance it is Stevens and it’s starting to have been awhile since Archie was canned.

Pfau?  What is this a reference to?

I think it’s in Brad’s court. We’ll pay him more money, that’s not a problem. But he has to agree to leave his NBA job. Not a very easy decision. Especially since he’s a masshole!
 

Our best bet is that turmoil strikes the locker room between Tatum and Brown.

Fair enough, I misunderstood, sorry! Still skeptical, because there is no apparent reason to delay the announcement this long. But happy to be wrong!

But what on earth would be the point of having Isiah at that meeting if no Brad?

He is a big time donor who donated money to re do the golf coarse

I am glad to hear Isiah is involved but do you have any idea what his role is here?

Ned Pfau and his family put up the money for the new golf course. The agreement was IU will pay Stevens 3.5 million and Pfau will pay 3.5 million a year for 7 years.

The delay could have been related to the trade deadline as has been rumored.  It could also be delayed because of the women's success.

Arkansas and Baylor play Monday right? There has to be a loser of course. If we don’t have a new coach by next week then it’s.

 

Stevens, Oats, Whoever won Baylor vs Arkansas.

I don't know about it being good since everything he has done since his playing days in basketball has not worked out well.
