His salary is around 7.3, IF the reports were correct about his raise.  He was 3.7 or so before the raise I think 

The only idiot out there who would give a raise to the coach of a team whose record is 20-21 is the same idiot who thinks a roster of Tatum, Brown and Marcus Smart can compete with the Nets and Lakers.

I wasn’t going to tell everyone but screw it, if it’s wrong it’s wrong.  The search is over!! Brad will be the next coach.  Same guy that told me the Sampson buyout sent me a text and said Brad is HOM

We started discussing those hurdles with his beautiful agent back in late January, early February. So everything was written up exactly how they wanted. So there’s not really much to be done. This has

I will say that IU met with the Stevens family since January, maybe even end of December. It was a good fit we thought, we listened to everything they had to say, we met everything they wanted, they a

Hey 0708, I’m going to PM you, heard something recently, but I will not post it in the thread

Come on, please share. What more damage could you do at this point? I think a lot of us have cooled down.

This reminds me of a job offer I had, and accepted for more money. Then after turning in my 2 week notice, I was suddenly worth more money on an attempt to get me to stay. I agreed to stay, then after sleeping on it I decided screw him. If I wasn't worth the extra pay yesterday, then I see how you are. So I left.

You made a difficult decision. I stayed.

If it comes out that the raise Brad got is true, then who’s to say those sources weren’t right? Until (or if) the full story comes out, I myself, believe the sources of [mention]IUwins0708 [/mention] and [mention]Chris007 [/mention] were correct, just Boston throwing the raise there flipped everything. But we can agree to disagree.

I'm not saying either way- just a question.

This still isn’t making any freaking sense at all.  I need to give up trying to figure stuff out but there were too many people saying it was done.  Totally confused, maybe it’s because I’m drunk again 

So was Brad's denial today not part of the further denials plan? Too many pages. Hard to keep up. Thanks for the insights.

I grew up in Indiana, went to IU, and then moved to New York. Will probably move back to Indiana/the Midwest in the next 5-10 years because my family lives there. I’ve never been to Boston before but it seems like a nice city. Brad is a smart guy. In any statement that he gave he was going to try to thread the needle between not pissing off Indiana fans but also not pissing off Boston fans. You have to look at it from his side too. He has a coaching job, and his team is struggling, so he probably is tired of all the Indiana questions. 

He brought the Indiana questions on himself by playing footsie with Dolson for 3 months.  He could have stopped any talk from the first phone call.

In the rest, I have tried to type out my feeling on it several times and I cannot find the words to do justice to it.  The best I can say is that the chip on my shoulder when it comes to the area of the country that you and he live in is gigantic and touches on so much more than basketball.  And I feel like he plucked a nerve he didn't have to pluck.  That is the nicest way I can put it.

So you're Brad Stevens and you just described what you're doing tomorrow after you catch a little shut eye tonight?...yes, yes?

That was pretty over the top of it was.  Hope so but not counting on it.

Thanks for all that you bring to the boards, I’m guessing the sources maybe as sauced and in disbelief as many of us are at the moment!

No prob man- other than the PUke loss, it's been a sh*t evening for all us IU fans..

Hey Boston lost to the kings too, at home no less. And at least it’s a Friday and not like a Tuesday where everyone has to work tomorrow. Trying really hard to stay positive haha

Putting it into perspective- Being a sports fan seems minor to everything else important in life- BUT being a sports fan makes the highs REALLY high and the lows REALLY low.. oy vey

Really not wanting to endorse false hope or beat a dead horse but I do have two questions...

- Is what was said in the presser the only indicator that this is over, or has there been other supporting information? I.e., are we going solely by the presser?

- What was the reason or driver for the possibility earlier that there could be some disinformation coming?

BTW, I have zero issues with our gracious insiders sharing what they believe or believed to be accurate, none. Please don't stop.

Thanks.
