Candidate Thread: Brad Stevens (Boston Celtics)

[Artie86 3,006]

Either the players really don’t have a clue who the next coach may be or just testing  this once in a lifetime free pass to transfer option.....Obviously they are getting anxious too. I hope TJD holds strong....

Here is the video of Archie at Harrison. I'm not sure if Shoulders makes that comment or not in this video lol

Go to 33:45 mark...

Dolson must be confident in his hire enough to risk losing a few current guys. Knowing if he gets who he wants, plenty of great players will come in their place.

Can't worry about guys from a losing team leaving the program.

Get the right coach and we will be in a much better spot regardless of the transfers out.

That or he’s scrambling with no clear picture. Let’s hope it’s the former

If the Plan was Beard and now Shaka leaving, could throw SD a major curve ball

While you don't want a new Coach coming into a situation where he has no players, what in the world did our players ever win? I just don't see this as that big a deal. Our players aren't that good as much as we all love and support them. With transfers this year in particular the right Coach can bring in new guys and be competitive next year.

TJD is all B1G

Lander is a promising freshman

 Phin has the talent to be an all B1G guard if he gets his head right (maybe a new coach helps?). 
 

There’s just not much upside to a mass exodus of talent.

Just adding a couple things in here. 
 

1. if you don’t like the info being brought in from some guys, just don’t read it. I can’t speak for anyone else, but the mod team knows where Chris gets his info. If he says he’s hearing something it’s because he’s actually hearing it. As we all know Dolson is playing it close to the vest, so some info could very well be part of the story but Dolson is the only one with the full story. Just be appreciative or ignore it. It’s up to you, but constantly calling out people who pass along info gets old. We are all adults, it’s everyone’s individual responsibility to either believe it or not. 
 

2. This is my biggest pet peeve and I’ve seen it a lot in recent days, and have called a few people on it. This is the final warning and the next person I see that does it is getting a 24 hr vacation. There will be NO telling other members they aren’t a real fan, and should find a new team. That’s childish and isn’t happening here. 
 

3. I now return you all to your regularly scheduled broadcast.

He's been out of the tournament all week.  If that was the plan the ink should be dry already if Dolson knows what he's doing.

I looked on Twitter just now and counted over 50 fire Brad Stevens posts in the last 24 hours. They didn't even play last night. 

It’s bad. I seen one a few days ago where the person said he “wanted to show up on his front door and cut his ******* head off.” I went back and tried to find it to show to a buddy and it’s gone! Must have been deleted or taken down. The vitriol is on another level. I seent it.

They're the Kentucky fans of the NBA.

You think she held on to them? Tucked away into some corner of the Shoulders residence? Lol

[P92 358]

If it’s Stevens or Beard I would think we’d know by tomorrow. Otherwise, the target has to be someone still in the tourney, with  maybe Beilein and the IU guys as fallbacks if that doesn’t work.

What is the significance of tomorrow? Other than the 27th has been "rumored" to be a day that MIGHT be important. 

Is that just some made up deadline?

Just some random dude on Peegs screaming it.....but the only rease we are giving it a thought is because he has been screaming it since before Archie got canned apparently

[HoosierMatty 524]

If it's Stevens and it's happening tomorrow you would think we might hear something by tonight from the Boston side of things. There is no way he leaves without telling them and working out how to end his contract.

Bob Knight was hired 50 years ago on the 27th

I get that. I just didn't know if it was like "oh we have to know by tomorrow or so and so is out" type thing.  Idk
