Can I have your sources cell, por favor?

I have some questions...

That’s probably not going to happen. No one really knows I post on here.

So was the plan to move from Archie seems to be a direct result of Brad accepting calls from IU? Or do you believe Archie was done regardless?

That was Barstool and unfortunately I'd believe them over any other national guy outside of Woj and Shams. 

They have great relationships with NBA players.

If we do indeed get Brad, what is the most likely scenario...we hire someone like Lewis to take over until Brad shows up after the NBA season, or Brad comes before NBA season ends?

I think Mike Woodson is a for sure backup plan.

I think we're going to be looking for a new AD soon unfortunately

I’ve followed everything closely but don’t recall this.  What is this story?

Athletic people, boosters, former players, family members.

Any clue on how some of them are currently feeling about either Stevens or the ongoing search?

If Stevens to IU is actually legit he really wants to finish the NBA season, so be it...I’m fine with it. We just need to know the direction so players and fans aren’t left guessing...

I am fine in waiting but would be great if something was announced privately to the players.  I know you can't trust young guys to not say something on social media

I believe we knew we could get Brad by talking to him and his wife

[Soulsnipes 55]

So.... how much longer are we waiting? It kinda will be a shame to end this

If this Stevens stuff is true then maybe all these contacts IU is rumored to be making is true just to keep the attention off Stevens so he can keep coaching Boston till he’s ready to step away.

I never heard it was signed. I heard they met in Boco for the deal. It was the 5th or 6th time they had met. Mr. Pfau was excited after the meeting, he’s putting up millions, even told a people to bet on Brad being the next coach. Then 2 hours later Brad quiets everything.

My read on the situation, based on careful observation and not much info, was that Stevens wanted to kill the talk to buy time—maybe even a lot of time—and he botched the delivery (aka Masshole). What is your take on that theory?

I didn’t say something isn’t signed, I’m led to believe that there is but don’t want to lead anyone on. I know there was a meeting, everyone left happy,  2 hours later we hear Masshole. So I don’t know for sure. 

A note I heard from someone at the meeting — The meeting went very very well.

Hard to really tell. It might be the state of things left by his predecessors and limits placed buy boosters. 
 

Hard to blame him if others screwed things up. Now what he does about it might take time but will be on his watch.
