Candidate Thread: Brad Stevens (Boston Celtics)

[8bucks]

@LamarCheeks I hope you are planning to walk your dog around Noon. Not sure if that is EST, CPT or another noon so be safe and take the dog for a walk every hour till we hear something

I would hope it's even higher than that. We aren't crazy for having hope, but I think we are generally realistic. Yet until a different coach is announced, and as long as we have good folks like Chris saying it may not be dead, and of course Jerry droppin' in with a Yeag-a-bomb here and there, we can keep a little hope alive. 

Seems like Chris and Jerry Yeags are connected to the IU side with some positive vibes. Seems fairly clear that Nonymouse is connected in someway to the Stevens side. What are ya gonna do? Of course, keep a little hope alive until Scott makes an announcement otherwise. 

I got the impression mouse was more connected to the Butler, OSU side of things than close to Stevens but mouse is crafty and shares little

Why did he get kicked out?

Not sure. It’s just what one of the mods told me last night. Said he left the chat for a bit and one of the other mods gave him the boot lol

Gotcha. My uncle used to drive a school bus there and for a long time I think he drove bball and other teams to games. He was a legend amongst bus drivers lol

Yeah, it could be that. It's why I said connected to the Stevens side "in some way". He/she is consistent, and defiantly certain that Stevens isn't coming. Surely that is not simply based on what Stevens said in a press conference. So I assume his/her info is coming from the Stevens side....how close we won't know and I'd never expect him/her to reveal that.

I would’ve expected a Woj bomb by now IF this was true

Well if an official announcement is going to be made at noon ET, it’s expected that leak will happen an hour before. But then again, Shaka was literally hired an hour after he was fired from Texas

Guru never said official announcement

Also I don’t see them dropping an announcement until after the women’s game if it truly was gonna happen today, yeah?

No press conference, Stevens just shows up to a sweet 16 game today in IU gear

[madmax]

There is like an 95% chance that Guru is a loser Purdue troll just trying to get everyone excited because he has nothing better to do.

There will not be an announcement today. There is no way Dolson steals the Thunder from the women, they deserve all the attention on them today.

Well duh. People just saying there would be because today is the 50th year since Bob Knight was announced as the IU coach.

Of course its a troll, but have to admit it's a good one. The guy has been saying this date for a while. Going to be funny to see what he posts after noon. He will either point and laugh at the gullible IU fans or shift the date.

If he is it’s been an impressive troll job

[ISP]

You guys would be surprised how many people think he is legit.

[lillurk]

I don’t believe anything’s happening at noon but if it was THE THING THAT HAPPENS would be a Woj leak, not something preceded by a Woj leak
