Candidate Thread: Brad Stevens (Boston Celtics)

[goonaha 2,972]

Where are Chris and 0708

If Stevens ends up not being the guy, I’m happy to see how hard IU pushed for a great coach. We’re in good hands.

This will get dealt with quickly.  People on a free message board were wrong.  That’s it nothing more about it.   Griping and moaning about being played isnt going to go far.   Sucks but that’s it.    Dolson did what we all wanted and went after his number  1.   He declined so now he will move on and make the decision he feels is best for the program

How long until I start the RIP Indiana Basketball Thread? 
 

LOL

I’m almost equally upset that he said he roots for the Patriots now.

Well, Easter is coming. Let’s see who comes out when we roll away the IU head stone

It was dead when they decided to keep Mike Davis after his first season.

Well son of a *****. The only thing that’s weird to me is why it took so long (a day or two) for this to come out. Let’s be honest his initial denial was very weak and open ended. With as much media and chatter this has gotten if he was 100% not leaving I would have thought he would have reiterated it sooner or someone would have dropped info like this sooner

This was always the most likely scenario. Hope I’m wrong but this seems the same as the Crean and Miller hires. Would like to see Fife but I’ve really lost most interest in the basketball team over the past several years. Watched more women’s than men’s games this year and have been a long time suffering football season ticket holder that’s finally seeing some success and excitement. On to spring football!

I guess once again I fell for what people who said to be insiders like I did with Billy Donovan but no more.    I really thought this was going to happen but after hearing Stevens today it never was close to happening.  I think some of these guys are probably sitting back laughing at this fan base knowing we will believe anything that is positive.

I was about to post this.  8 mil a year for a patriots fan?  No thanks.  Now bring on somebody who gonna say I’m coming to Indiana and we’re gonna beat some @$$.

I get everyone is upset but idk what you guys thought he would say. I doubt brad would have come out and say yes to Goodman’s question right before coaching a game for the Celtics.

His polite Hoosier self was trying to be nice and not upset the whole Hoosier Fan Base. Couldn’t help himself.

There was simply no need for him to rub our noses in it like that. Absolutely uncalled for

Time for those in the know to issue a statement from their “sources”. Thanks for helping me lose all confidence in free boards. It’s been fun while it lasted.

I hid your post for name-calling. Not going to fly here.

If what we've seen over the past few minutes is true and he's staying in Boston, don't jump all over Chris and IUwins0708. 

They're just relaying best info they had. 

It appears Dolson put the full-court press on Brad -- and Ainge and the Celtics broke it. 

Again, if true -- we're all disappointed. No need to get snarky. 

 

[Me So Hornsby 2,747]

The great thing about our insiders is that they relay information that they get to the rest of us. For free. With little regard for their own butts. Not all info they get is going to be the gospel, but they are right a lot.

Not unexpected honestly.   He definitely changed his words a lot since Tuesday though...

[beaver56 55]

When I start seeing transfers announced and decommitments I will start panicking.  The players are kept in the loop more than we know.
