[Hoosierfanyuh 2,148]

What was brad supposed to say? Yes when hes being interviewed by boston reporters? I still think he’s a no, but i still have a slight glimer of hope.

What insider info?? This is hilarious...if they had insider info, Stevens would be the IU coach! It’s all bs...they can say whatever they want because nobody can verify it...great position to be in

Did you know that Kobe was going to Chicago if the Lakers didn't trade Shaq.  So far even that Kobe and his family were shopping for houses and schools.  Kobe even said it was a done deal himself in interviews.  Then at the last minute they traded Shaq and the rest is history.  Insiders had that scoop and it changed.  We have no idea what has transpired in the last 2 days.  Their info could be 100% legit and something change in Boston to divert it.  Who knows, but nothing is ever definite until it is.  They have balls for sharing what they have heard and I thank them for that.  What did they gain from it? Nothing, except being bashed on the message board.  If they were getting paid it would be different.

Trust in Dolson. I’m sure they swung for the fence for Stevens. Now we move on. I was very excited about Chris Beard and still am!

It’s also a discussion board so if you don’t like criticism don’t post your fantasies and call them fact. I get that it’s fun to have “insiders” post info we all want to hear, but if I say Rob is the best PG in IU history, you and the other mods aren’t going to echo your statement when everyone tells me I’m an idiot. 

I don’t see them defending themselves and getting nearly as butthurt as all of you that are crapping down their throats. Chill out.

I’m sorry guys, I’m really totally shocked and sick to my stomach. I cant believe with all I was told this is the outcome. I’m not sure heartbroken should be a word I use towards another mans decision but I honestly am.

I’m curious, what are the people who led you to believe this was basically done saying?

Boston gave him close to a $3m raise based on what I was just told.

Well if he used IU as leverage (can't blame him) then that may close the door on him ever coming here. 

See ya, Brad.

We won’t get him either.  I believe nothing until Dolson speaks and introduces Dane Fife.

That would definitely be a reason to stay

No he was referring to the denial. That’s called sarcasm.

[Zachetology 282]

Is there any chance Brad is just saying what he is to deflect attention? Trying to trust in our insiders.

It was never going to be about $$$...NBA can always match college.  We were led to believe they wanted to "come home" and we were showing enough $$$ to make them feel wanted.  Obviously they didn't want to be back here that bad.

So..... Cracked open a Budlight must push forward. Good vibes only

[Hippopotamo 517]

Bummer. Would be really happy if we can get Beard. 

[LookatthestonesonDolson 88]

So the dumb @$$ got a raise and never stopped to think they could have been paying me this amount for some time.  Let him stay there until he retires.

For sure. It wouldn’t be professional to announce your leaving in a pregame presser.

[Bowhunter 2,693]

I want hear what Chris has to say

I hope that this is a part of the denial you spoke of earlier and to hold on......Not feeling the same I take it?

One of the “insiders” stoking that fire basically just threw in the towel so...
