He used to work for the C's and has a lot of good insights. If he posts on this it's worth giving his thoughts the benefit of the doubt. My understanding is the C's don't do that kind of press release, but I'll defer to Gleas if he posts -- Great to hear from you, HH!! It's been a number of years since I worked there, but my direct boss is still the Head of PR for the Celtics. You're exactly right, this isn't something they would send a press release on. The head of PR, Brad, Danny and probably the owner would huddle on how Brad and Danny should answer the questions, that's about it. It is a bit striking to me that the hard, 100% not happening answer has not happened yet. NVFalcons1990, lillurk, IUMD98 and 24 others 26 1

Bankshot Posted March 18, 2021 Posted March 18, 2021 I've seen, read, and know a decent amount about Brad's coaching skills and style while at Butler. But for those of us who didn't follow Butler quite as closely, can someone provide a quick summary of his general approach...type of player(s), roster construction, recruiting focus, offensive/defensive schemes, low turnovers/value the ball, etc.? Is it guard centric, wing centric? Long/tall wings? Traditional bigs or lo/hi? etc. Thanks! Alford Bailey and ALASKA HOOSIER 2

Would this effect anyway in Brad coming to IU to coach. Might be a personal issue for her, but the 2 schools really aren't rivals in the sense we are with a B1G school so I don't see her as a trustee at Butler and Brad as coach of IU a big deal. Trustees oversee the university as a whole and not simply a bball program. Hippopotamo, T White, lillurk and 2 others 5
