concussions, twisted ankles, broken nose.... not much training you can do to prevent those.

We also had a couple of back injuries that could have been caused by lifting

I just got tired of seeing all the pictures of the players 6 packs over video of them working on actual basketball skills.

You’re mad that the strength coach is showing off his sculptures and not posting them dribbling?

Ohh lord.  Let’s not turn this into a debate about whether Die Hard is a Christmas movie.

I believe just helping with bringing Brad home. Hoping for a staff of Lewis, Nored, Roberts, Guyton DOBO or Moye

I can be patient for the announcement whenever it occurs but posts like this are not making it the slightest bit easier!

He basically said he’s being easy with his words so people don’t get their hopes up.  In the first paragraph he said the search could be over in days

Summary:

-Brad Stephens to IU is still a thing

-Contract between Celtics and Brad is not an issue

-There's two types of people in Boston: People from Boston and people from elsewhere. Outsiders will never be insiders(fascinating stuff here, really)

-Estimates 30% chance Brad is the coach at IU by October

So basically nothing new or interesting.

a chance to land him. Didn’t really go into other specifics. But when an IU reporter says that it makes everything a little more real. Not that we needed it with our excellent guys, but it’s another credible source to add to the mix.

It means that if Brad comes Rabjohns can claim that he knew all along, and if he doesn’t he can say that he never told anyone it was a done deal.

He is a really nice guy. I had someone stop him, ironically at St Elmos, and introduce him to me and a friend and he was very easy to talk with and not a big time ego. Dakich also does not like him so that definitely plays in his favor lol

Hopefully more like "at the table" signing a contract,  and not pulling a Pitino!

Probably thinks he is breaking news that IU has reached out to Stevens.

Bingo!! He was wishy washy in his post I thought.

I just don't think strength and conditioning is more important than player development

He is always very careful with how he words things. He is worried about his word as a journalist and I can not blame him for that.

This is what I've spent more time than I'd like to admit thinking about, who would be on Brad's staff.

I'd have to think Ronald Nored and Michael Lewis would be shoe-ins. Other than that no idea. I know he might irk some, but man I'd like Dakich on the staff to be honest.

And he can charge people for it.....
