Yea.  I love the Scott and Pam combo.  So does Cig.

Pam has an important role to play in teaming up with Scott to get control of the bball program back from all the bad influences.  Now that Buckner (her boss) is a lame duck, she is probably more free to assert herself in this mess and clean it up.

Let’s be honest: we’re in the mess that we’ve been in for the last 25 years because of piss poor leadership in the administration. For the first time since Bob Knight has been gone, I feel we finally have somebody competent in those two positions.

Probably same reason for the “I’m a 44-year old Masshole” comment.

I still think Brad needed a shower after that comment. It was so fake and cringey that I still can't believe he said it lol

I'd say he'll be on the sidelines, much to the delight of OSU fans.

Did anyone see this man get on the plane, bus, bike, scooter, or walking to Columbus

Feel the same way, but he had to do something to kill the story

There will only be 4 people or less in the room. Dolson, Pam, Tracy, Brad. Scott and Brad have been building a relationship for the last 10 months. 

so just a short time after it was leaked that Woodson would return, Dolson starts building a relationship with Brad ..... I like how the man thinks!

Yeah, this. There is zero, absolutely zero, reason to believe that Stevens would have any interest in coaching in college basketball in 2025. The only people who even delusionally bring this up are IU fans every time there's a coaching change (which unfortunately happens regularly around here). 

Our fanbase is showing massive signs of trauma at this point...LOL

Move on, people. 

I'm trying to figure out what would be the draw of Bloomington to May. Is IU really a better job than Michigan at this point? And he's already in Ann Arbor, he's well on his way to getting his program established. Why would he even remotely consider moving? 

The way it's going to go down, IMO, is that May is going to use IU interest to get a nice bump in salary.

Do you know the operating budget for basketball at Michigan compared to IU? Are you aware of what actually is happening with Stevens?  Just as you push the narrative as there’s no way Brad comes is the same as the criticism you level against those that do believe it to be possible. You can’t have it both ways. 
 

I had heard of Stevens early this year, back in November! It’s not a pipe dream I can assure you of that.

I think we reached out to see if the timing was right. Was told he wasn't leaving till they won the NBA championship or the team he assembled fell apart. So we announced that Mike would return, and Dolson kept up a casual conversation with Brad. By the way they won the NBA championship

All the planets align on January 25th - an omen?

It’s like Boomerang.  It’s all coming back to me.  I remember when he said that.  That was so weird.  He had to have been forced to say that.

I’m sure that him and his family have really enjoyed being in Boston. His kids have grown up there. It’s home for them.
But at the time you could tell it was something that had to be said to kill the story. It was too emphatically said.

The day IU hires Stevens, the college basketball world will **** its pants.

That's just not true. Seth Davis raised it as a possibility just last spring:

Yep. Planets, stars - everything is aligning.

I’m not going to fall for the Stevens talk again. We should focus on candidates we actually have a shot at. It’s fun to dream, but let’s be real. I think we get it right this time, I just don’t think it’s with him.
