It is interesting none of our boys have transferred.. not even Kristian.

Meeting could just be to try and regroup and perform better.

Yeah, could be anything. I've decided to stay so get your sh** together.

Did he really say 'hicks'? Wow, Brad Stevens should be offended. 

Kinda ironic since they owe quite a bit to those "hicks" especially one from French Lick.

I can envision a scenario where we dont land Stevens (despite best efforts) and we end up better off for it. Expectations are unrealistic.

I don't know it could be just me, but I don't think IU fans in general would ask anything unrealistic to Stevens. It's takes time for a new coach to recruit his players and implement his system. And Stevens wouldn't come here if he doesn't have aspirations to win national championships.

I don’t think the timing changes things whether the announcement is today, tomorrow or next week. If the offer is real and there’s a mutual interest, how could Stevens possibly turn it down? It’s a MASSIVE pay raise, comes “home”, happy wife. Or…stay in Boston with what he has, leave 8 figures on the table while at risk of losing his job when the season is over? Prove me wrong.

NBA coaches are a dime a dozen.  He hasn’t lit the NBA on fire.  The DePauw guy had a good two year run in a weak conference.  Is that worth 8 mil a year?  Cali numbers?  Cmon. 
 

what, exactly, makes him a Super Coach?  

Good two year run wasn't just in conference.  He went to back to back Championship games, the second of which after losing some pretty important cogs off the prior team.

He has been to the EC Finals several times since going to Boston as well.  Is this really about Stevens or is it about a small school rivalry?

This Stevens hype could be acting as a smokescreen allowing IU and Dolson free movement to go after their real target.  Maybe Beard or Pitino.  Or Alford.

Why not Jordan Hulls? Did he retire or still playing?

[Adillac]

It makes too much sense for Stevens to come home. That’s basically my opinion still. I still think it’s going to happen. 

[BayernFan]

Has anyone considered that BS is using this to get more Money from the Celtics?  Is he gonna leave Dolson at the altar?  JMO

Indiana athletic department source to http://Peegs.com: Indiana athletic director Scott Dolson is very deliberate and taking his time. No announcement expected today or this weekend. #iubb

Texas Tech looks like they shoot the ball like IU. 12 pts. On almost 13 minutes.

I think timing is impeccable this time. 8 years in Boston is a long time. IMO, Stevens' personality fits better to the college games where he can be a mentor and a teacher for young players.

Maybe he is trying to showcase an "IU offense"...

Everyone needs to go play the Pfau golf course at IU. If you see Mr. Pfau say thank you for loving IU
